I'm at a new stage in my life, after a few challenges this year, to reallly reflect on who I am and where I am heading in my life.  High time I started a journal, new year, new energies, new me.

One of my lessons right now is acceptance, at where I am in my raw journey, and more importantly, my life.

The universe threw me a curve ball this time last week, and it made me realilse all the things I am grateful for.  My family, friends, health, healing/living space, and the support I have from my guides, angels, etc.

And of course this forum, I love the energy that is created here, it makes me feel part of a warm, global, loving family.    thumbup

And everywhere I turn I am reminded that I must have a high level of health to reach the next stage in my journey, and the only way I can do that is to eat raw foods.  I've tried most things over the last 10 years, and nothing even comes close to the feeling I have when I eat raw.  My spirit soars  ohyeah, much like the way I feel when I do a firetwirling performance - without burning my hair  laugh

So this year my days will be full of more of the following ~  love, laughter, drumming, cycling, running, yoga, belly dancing, "way out hippy dancing" LOL, pilates, surfing, stopping to smell the roses (that I buy for myself of course), bigger fire twirling toys (bigger wicks means bigger fire, yikes!), a deeper connection to my spirituality, a brand new figure with less wobbly bits, and lots and lots of delicious raw food to nourish my body and soul.   

So look out world, here I come to show you how beautiful, healthy and (R)AWESOME I can be yahh

Hi Sanghama, I love how involved with things you are. You are so active! I am looking forward to meeting you. Are you coming to the picnic next Saturday? Maybe you could bring along your fire gear... do a show! But only if you are comfy. It will be in a public place but you could show some stuff without lighting them?

Looking forward to meeting your non-singed head!

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay! Although, I tell you, if it is still raining the way it is now I think I will have to cancel it. Even the birds are coming under our decking for shelter... and all these people here for holidays. Sheesh.

Jen,
lets hope it fines up then.  I live up the road from there, so everyone can rock up to my place if you like.
I have some practice fire twirling gear I can bring along, if anyone is up for a lesson....hmmm?

Very funny Jen, you should do stand up comedy  laugh

Goodluck on your journey Sanghama, as Jen said you are very active!  I like to watch firetwirling but have never done it myself, more because I dislike the smell of kero than that I would probably set my fuzzy hair on fire.

Thanks Gina, actually I don't like kero either, we use something like lighter fluid which doesn't smell much.
You can get fire toys that glow, so no burnt hair laugh.  I have some and use them when it is raining like it is now.  Very safe and pretty too.

I suppose I do sound active, just my nature I suppose.  I spent nearly half my life being supressed that I'm making up for lost time.  I had my first drumming lesson of the year tonight, I've missed it more than I realised.  I was in the zone and could have gone all night.  Sitting squashed between two young good looking guys wasn't a hardship either LOL.  It's fast and tribal and intense, yeah...the drumming, not the men......Could it get any better than that?  Yep, cheap Tuesday at the raw vegan/pizza place at the back.  Am I blessed?  You betcha.

Bellydancing again tomorrow night, I'm really enjoying the company of women and releasing/expressing the Goddess energy.  Tribal yet feminine, and somehow a little secretive.   I can't even start to explain what goes on in that class, except to say that we don't do shoulder shimmys, we have a 'party in our bra'  rofl

Jen, I'll teach you some tricks only if we can do it near the lake, that way if you get too firey I can push you in - only joking (not).  Self preservation is most important,  that and standing well back.  Could be dangerous...what do I mean could??? snicker

Jennie, It'll be so nice to finally meet, you be as firey as you like, I can handle it. kiss

I'm a tired little bunny tonight.  I weeded the garden today, had to do it while the moon was still waning.  Apparently the weeds don't grow back as fast.  It was so nice to see the sun, I'll put it out to the universe to please stay fine until Sunday so we can have our picnic in the park.  I'm so excited to meet other RP people.  ohyeah  I even have a girlfriend coming with me who's interested, that's good, so the two of us can bother random  people before we find you all LOL.

Exciting part of the day for me was buying my first large stone buddha to sit in the garden.  Not huge, but extremely heavy.  It's beautiful though, makes me sigh with happiness every time I see it.  I took my son with me, he was even interested, amazing.   ohyeah

Yesterday was productive, after the morning zap I went up the mountain to receive a reiki treatment myself, and some spiritual counselling, which I have needed for over a week.  I feel so much stronger within myself, more at ease with where I'm at, much more balanced.  And I won't be learning to surf just yet, as I will be starting an awareness counselling course with my friend.  She totally understood my need to be 100% raw, as I cannot access the higher levels of spirituality and spirit communication without it.  And I'm hoping this course will help me understand my patterns and help me change them.  Another step to a new inproved me, lol. 

After I left my friend's place, the sun came out and there was a big double rainbow in the sky, and I know it sounds like a cliche, but I stopped the car, ran barefoot onto the grass and threw my arms out wide and thanked the universe for the day.  And as I drove down the mountain again, through the rain and cloud, I knew I wasn't alone, and that I was protected.  How blissful. 

But my amazing day didn't end there - on to bellydance class.  I was a bit tired by now, but we learned some new moves and the sounds that go with them....something like oh, oooo, OHHH, oh!!, I tell you, we gave Meg Ryan a run for her money, talk about raw pleasure  rofl.

I'm taking my crystals for a swim tomorrow, make that later this morning.  If you see a crazy lady with crystal laden pantyhose at the beach, that's me.  I'll do it early before the men in white coats get up.  laugh

I'd planned today to have an easy day off, then this morning I became suddenly single.  Wow, plans change fast. 
I now have a vastly different future than what I'd imagined, and am still reeling a little from this.

At least I had my first raw picnic to look forward to.  And Jen was such an angel, wisking me away to have a chat and dry my tears.  Thanks also to Berry Bliss and Waterberry for your kind words of wisdom.  Yes we are a family, and I treasure your support.  And Georgia, go well, I'll be thinking of you, and your gorgeous belly.

So much yummy food, and no appetite, what a waste.  This recent life change has made me more comitted to raw food, as I'm the only one to look after me now.    So there'll be occasional tears, and that's okay.  But from now on I'm set on becoming stronger in my core, and my spirit, and know that there is a world of opportunity out there for me.  And hopefully tomorrow I'll feel like eating again, can't buy food at the markets that no-one is going to eat LOL.

On the upside, I bought myself a beautiful drumming stool this morning, at least I can be comfortable when at my drum class, as I expect my behind will become bonier as the weeks go on  laugh

Hugs....

Dignified, hmm, that's a new one.  Must be the new me coming out  laugh

Thanks Jen, it was a beautiful day all round, and being at the picnic with you guys really helped me.

I re-read my first post this morning, and realised that the messages I received from spirit yesterday echoed exactly what I had written a week earlier.  Guess I'm ahead of my time huh.

As if I hadn't had enough change in my life this month, today I'm changing bedrooms with my daughter, I need a new clear space for my journey, the old one holds too many memories. 

I see my journey stretched ahead of me like a large lake, and I need to start swimming towards the other side.  And the water is sooooo cold.  So it is my choice if I want to tiptoe in gently, or retreat for a while and think about it, or dive straight in.  And my friends know that I always dive straight in, no time to think, just get on with it.
And guess what, I'm already wearing my togs.  Hang on, *adjusts goggles and waves to curious crowd assembled on the shore* off I go. CYA

I spent the day yesterday getting rid of many possessions, physically delivering them to charities and friends.  My pawpaw tree decided it no longer wanted to be around, and promptly fell over, the ground here being too soggy to sustain its growth.  So in true gung-ho style I attacked the overgrown areas of the garden, which attacked me back  laugh  If my garden can hurt me, it can certainly heal me, a nice comfrey poultice will help these battered hands.

Eating a high amount of raw foods certainly helps with my emotional release, I am okay for a few days, and then BAM, I want to push the world away and sob until I run dry.  Last night I wanted to cry every 5 minutes, during my drumming class wouldn't you know.  I waited until I got to the car, and then released all the tears, felt so good.  One interesting thing though, although there were lots of tears, I didn't have a runny nose - must be the lack of dairy in my diet.  That means I have the freedom to cry any time, anywhere, without wondering if I have a hanky.  It may seem like a small thing, but I'm really excited about that - another benefit of going raw. 

I'm a little down emotionally, and have a free day since my feng shui consultation has been postponed to next week (and the house is all clean), so I'm watching the movie "Chocolat" one of my favourite 'chic flicks'.  Then off for a swim and a sunbake, and lie around on the grass all afternoon, meditating in my new sacred space with my new buddha, wow....who is blessed?   You work it out ohyeah

The abundance has already started to flow with my business, so here's to a joyful, vibrant and abundant life, for all of us.   Mwah.

60 Minutes Correspondent Andy Rooney (CBS)

As I grow in age, I value women over 40 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why:
A woman over 40 will never wake you in the middle of the night and ask, 'What are you thinking?' She doesn't care what you think. If a woman over 40 doesn't want to watch the game, she doesn't sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do, and it's usually more interesting. Women over 40 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you if they think they can get away with it. Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it's like to be unappreciated. Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 40. Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 40 is far sexier than her younger counterpart. Older women are forthright and honest. They'll tell you right off if you are a jerk if you are acting like one. You don't ever have to wonder where you stand with her! .. Yes, we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed, hot woman over 40, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year old waitress. Ladies, I apologize. For all those men who say, 'Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?', here's an update for you. Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage. Why? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage!

Andy Rooney is a really smart guy!
