People who impact us!

Day 2 sailing, and it was lovely to sleep in and relax… with Charlie. We had a leisurely breakfast and watched DVD's and just vegged out until it was time to head to my lecture.

The lecture was lovely and everyone was so interested and even though I only did one reading, it was great that the lady's husband came through to her, and her daughter… it was his way of saying I'm sorry and I'm ok.

It was beautiful to witness.

Charlie and I chilled and relaxed and then it was time for the cocktail party with everyone which was great and we met so many nice people. It's always nice to get dressed up too. Sometimes there are never enough excuses in life to put on a dress, killer heels and rock the joint! And that was just how I felt tonight.

I felt so much better than yesterday, (jeez, I was feeling rough yesterday) so I made up for it… my voice is still weak but I held my own at the dinner table.

I have met 2 very special people on this cruise, and one I instantly looked in his eyes and thought… wow I know you!!! His name is Ray and he is helping out with the bookstore for Hay house, we sat next to each other at dinner and chatted like we had known each other all our lives, and the chances are we had… but lives before this. And the other was Ibis… she is the person who has helped Hayhouse with the cruise and made this all possible. She is such a giving and open person you can't help to love her and also she sat the other side to me at the table… so I was torn between who I was going to talk to first.

And of course there is John…. delightful and warm and funny, John… You have just got to love him. I am so blessed to be here with these people at the moment, and they all love Charlie.

Who incidentally came from kids club tonight, and sat down as we were all having dessert and ate chocolate ice cream, followed by lamb chops!!! ha ha ha yes, he decided he was hungry after dessert!

It's been a perfect day, and ended a perfect way… Charlie and I sat on the balcony and looked into the clouds and we started to make out the cloud formations, and telling stories. It was so peaceful. He asked if we could sit there all night… I would love too but I was too tired to stay up, so I now lie in bed with my little man by the side of me who is reading everything I write and even wrote a few words himself… and we are going to snuggle down and get some zzzzzz preparing for another perfect day together!

Some people you feel you have known for ever and then there are others who make an impact, and either way, over the last few days I have met 2 people who are going to either be in my life forever or who have seriously impacted my life in a great way… and along with Charlie I am very very blessed.

Big hugs and much love

Mommy and me time!

Yes I know I went MIA... it's unusual for me, but I have to say with all the traveling and stress that my body has taken, it shut down... big time. I fell flat on my back and have slept for so long!!! It was crazy. I was full of cold and my sinuses were playing up... and yes I know you mama bears out here are wagging your fingers and saying tut tut tut for not looking after myself... 

And the truth is, over the last few weeks I haven't, but the start is here on the cruise... it's a huge learning curve and now it's time for me to take care of me, in every need. So I am resting and I have slept so much over the last few days. Even today while I was waiting for my bags, I dozed off for half hour... very unlike me.

I must say I have the most precious little boy ever... seriously! This morning he helped me pack, as I couldn't lift my head up... he packed up his own bag, and packed everything in there... it was lovely. Nothing was too much of an issue for him. However, we replaced Doggie recently with 'Agent Huff Huff' Who has also gone MIA... yes another doggie missing... in yet again another hotel room... thankfully this time they have him and all is well. 

so we boarded the cruise with was awesome and then John and I headed to the Vista Lounge for our first session... we did a straight 2 hours of readings and fed off each other and bounced around the room. Not everyone was there so it was small and intimate, but amazing how many readings related and rolled into another. There must have been over that time 4 people who we read for who had lost their sons, and all very similar stories. It tends to happen that way. Then you watch tomorrow we will have all mother in laws coming through... it's so typical. 

I am so lucky to be working with an amazing bunch of people, and Ibis who organized it all was incredible, but a bad influence on me... in a good way. She knows the boat like the back of her hand and took me to some little shop where I could mooch and browse till my hearts content... dangerous really!!! ha ha ha. I was a good girl though... well almost!

Of course Charlie had a Halloween party which was awesome, and he dressed up as a Ninja... so typical of my boy! It's so great to spend Mommy and me time (and for the record I have always spelt mommy that way even in England ... ) but spending time with him is fabulous, it's like my world is complete when he is with me. He is such a great boy, and so gifted, however I just wish he would place his hands on mommy's sinuses!!! ha ha ha

Right I get an extra hour in bed, which I am very excited about!! whoohoo!

Until tomorrow have a great time and remember to smile! 

Lots of love

If at first you don't succeed...

I always wonder what to write sometimes, when my life is just, I suppose 'normal'. You know, work, being at home and spending time with those I love... so I sit and think... hmmm what do people need to hear and then I get this little voice that tells me.... It's so cool! I suppose some would say I was psychic! ha ha ha

And that is exactly what happened tonight, and what I was shown was a situation when I was a single mom, and I taught Charlie how to dress himself. I remember showing him how to put his trousers on, and I had to show him that the label went at the back and that he had to flick his trousers forward to get them straight and then he would put his feet in, and wiggle in to them. 

Then once he couldn't wiggle any more he had to then, get on his feet and pull them up... I spent ages teaching him this one Sunday afternoon. He loved it... he was only about 2 at the time, but he was so independent that I thought why not, he has to learn some time. 

He kept trying and trying but he couldn't get them straight... but we laughed and then I showed him again and then he tried again, and then he couldn't get the other leg straight, and then he tried again... and still couldn't get it straight. Eventually he looked at me, and flicked them down, and then toddled round to the ankles of the trousers and bent down, and straightened them!

Whoohoo my boy had used his head and figured out another way around the problem... he then put his feet in the, now straight trousers on the floor, and wiggled and shuffled his way into them, and stood up!

Ta dah!! He had put on his own trousers... he was SO pleased with himself. 

But it made me realize that there are so many times in life that as adults we give up... but actually we don't see a way around the problem. We have to look at it from every angle.  We can learn so much from kids, they have determination and belief that they can do it, with the right encouragement. And thats all it is... encouragement.

We sometimes say we can't do something even when we haven't tried... never give up!

Now of course there are things that we can't do or somethings that are hard to change, and fix, and then you have to walk away... but you are not giving up, unless you have tried to fix it. But you have to be honest and ask... have you given it your all... If the answer is yes... then you can walk away satisfied that you can't do anymore, but if the answer is no... then try again... you may be surprised what you can achieve! 

Big hugs and I thought I would share that little story with you.

Fighting anything!

Its been a busy day, but first it started off with a healing session. A Very dear friend of mine was diagnosed with cancer, while I was away in Australia, and so I will be giving her healing to help her with her recovery. 

I hadn't seen her since before I left and when she opened the door to me, I was amazed at what I saw. She is a vibrant, bubbly and happy soul, and while she has got her own issues, before the cancer hit, she never let a thing get her down. And today I saw the real strength within her. 

I met her on my first weekend that we arrived in the US, we were staying at a hotel for the weekend while the house that we lived in was being repaired, and you know how you get talking, and next thing I know I am giving her a reading. I remember telling her that she and I would be exceptional friends and that we had been drawn to each other for a reason... and now we are just finding out what that reason is. 

Her spirit, never ceases to amaze me. So she answers the door, full makeup and hair done, after having radiation therapy first thing (and I arrived at 9am) she is all smiles!

So she lays down and she starts telling me the visualization techniques she's doing as well as yelling at the cancer, to leave her body... She is doing every thing in her power to get rid of this, even down to cooking and eating the right foods.

I admire her strength and I must admit, I was the same. We realized that she had this for over a year and not realized. So we start doing the healing, and I work intuitively also when I do my healing, and the one tumor in her stomach has started shrinking, through sheer will and determination. The one in her hip, which is causing her discomfort, is up for the fight, but I believe her will is stronger than the cancer... so I know she is going to fight it.

But no matter what she is doing all this with a smile on her face. It's not about the disease, it's about her attitude and her being determined to fight this thing through to the end. No matter how aggressive it is. Now I for one, know what it's like to be fighting this, and I know what the power of positive thinking can do, and that is what we all must have in life. 

So when things are hitting you and they are rough, remember that it's the attitude that we have that can help us cope and also fight disease and other issues that drag us down. 

Stay positive no matter what, and you never know what you can accomplish!

With love and healing hugs

Indianapolis

Another night on the bus, and the boys and I played cards again and I have to admit, I have no idea how to play poker, I need to get my friend Matt to give me some lessons... but I totally lost!!! BIG TIME! I won a few hands, but I lost and Ryan bailed me out a few time's I am sure (and at one point I know he admitted it) that he kept me in the game as I was sitting closest to the beer fridge, and I could get get the drinks!!

But it was so much fun to relax and have fun and enjoy the evening after the show. We had a great driver, Dee... who was wonderful and we all loved. It's fabulous that we all gel together as it could be a LONG trip if you didn't. 

I was the only girl and they put up with me!!! Which I am not the easiest person to get on with!

The readings tonight were lovely and then there were 2 boys that squeezed themselves in at the last minute, but I had to hurry up as I know I had to leave the venue on time as they had another show to do later that evening... but I can only go as quick as the spirits want me too. 

I met all the members after the show which was lovely and then had dinner with Ryan, who is my tour manager. 

But what you have to remember if something is going to happen in life its, going to make a way of comeing through. Just like the boys who had passed, they sneaked their way in at the end so they could tell their mommy how much they loved them. 

If things are meant to be they will happen. We all have free will in our life but we must remember it's up to US to make it happen... we have to find a way around things and most of all believe in what we can achieve!

With much love and stay strong!
