New Year!

Thursday, December 30th, 2010

This Year ahead is exciting for me with my New Book ready to go to print and with better health than the start of last year. I feel this year 2010 was about clearing out the bad in my life and I let go of a bad relationship that was full of negativity and once I did that things started to get better for me in my life. New people came to show me the true meaning of love and I made friends with my sister who I had not seen for years. I stared to get better both in mind and body once that bad relationship went and I started to repect myself once more. It was like this Cancer turned out to be good for me in many ways , it made me see who I was once more and what I wanted in life. From the suffering came new insight and inspiration and a will to live and be happy and not try to make someone else happy at the expence of my own life. It was a hard year in many ways but I am coming out the end of the dark tunnel and into a new life that brings much love and joy. I have let go of the anger that was in me and turned it into living and being happy. My hair is growing again and in a lovely new style that made me cry! when I saw it (when you have no hair you see it like a gift once it comes back). I am getting stronger and doing things that make me happy with good loving people around me.

Make this year a New start for yourself and do not try to feel let down if it does not start off as you plan. Take small steps and aim only for peace and happiness. If you start to aim for wealth it will only bring you down to a sad lonely place that does not make you happy. Aim for love and joy and then the wealth you once thought was all about money will come to you with a heart full of warmth and happiness.  There will be many people that tell you they are rich and “have it all” but the ones that brag are the ones that usualy get their wealth through hurting others first. Listen to what they say but do not envy what they have for the people I met who claim to have money are always sad and lonely with a fake tongue that does harm not good. Be happy with what you have and once you do that more goodness will come into your life. Work on yourself and what makes you happy .

Make 2011 a New start and live each day like it was your last! after having cancer I learnt to live for now not tomorrow. If you can do that you will start to see how beautiful life is and how each day is what is most important. I learnt to see each day as a celebration and I made sure I aimed to do everything I needed to do in that one day. This new lesson made things start to happen that were good for me and made me see what life was all about. When the Fire works go off this New Years Eve I shall say a big thank you to God for allowing me this time with those I lovexx

 

 

I send you all my love and blessings for this New Year ahead and always. XX

The Meaning of Christmas

Sunday, December 19th, 2010

Firstly I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year! I hope it brings you much joy and above all Love.

I wanted to write a Blog for Christmas and help us all think about the true meaning of this time of year. I decided to wait for some inspiration and I wasn’t long in finding that yesterday after being stranded in heavy snow!

I was on my way to visit my Sister and Nieces to take them to see Santa for the day. This was to be a special time as it was the first year me and my Sister had been together after years of not seeing each other. We had planned this day for some time. The snow was falling fast on the morning but I decided to risk getting to my Sister to not let the little ones down. While we enjoyed seeing the little ones with Santa we all held tears in our eyes and even I felt like a litte girl all over again  when I would be waiting to see what Santa would bring me. The day was a memory that will stay with me always and not only for seeing the little ones with Santa but also for the snow that left us stranded!

We had something to eat and decided to get a taxi back before the weather turned, but as we went to look outside we could see that there had been more snow than  we could of imagined! not only that but all the taxis and bus service had stopped running and we were trapped about 5 miles from my sisters house and many more from my own. Many people were crying as they had their chistmas shoping and no way of getting home with bags full!. My little Nieces were worried and so was I as it was so cold and the walk home would be too much for them and for me after just having my Herceptin. There was no Hotel near to stay and so we had to face walking. Then Jodie my Niece said “I have a idea, why don’t we ask Santa to get us home”. I think that gave us our courage to start the walk home as she had warmed our hearts with such innocence.

The journey was hard and the little ones kept us going talking and enjoying the snow. We got back to my sisters house after two and a half hours walking and seeing so many cars stranded. My Sister told me to stay the night but I was worried as I had not brought any of my medication with me and it was medication I needed to stay well. After trying for some time to call taxis we saw on the internet that some buses were running back to my area but only a few. My Sisters Husband walked with me to the bus stop to see if I could get a bus and with luck on my side there was one coming. As I got on the driver said he was only going half way and with that I got upset as I was facing another walk already feeling ill. He sked me what was wrong and I told him I needed to get home and why. With that I think my meaning of Christmas had been given to me. The roads were bad and no one else was on the bus and that  dear Driver told me he would take me home to my door and he did!! he never complained even when the bus was finding it hard to grip the road and he took me to my road and told me to take care.

When I got home I cried as that kindness had shown me how beautiful human nature can be and it gave me the inspiration for this blog. That man risked him own life on the road to get me home and all for the bus fare of £1.70. He didn’t have to do that but he did and that to me is what this time of year is all about. I hear so much about money and how to get rich quick but while some people focus on gaining more they forget the true meaning of this life. That act of kindness was worth more to me than anything and will stay with me for eternity. So many people who were stranded were asking taxi firms to pick them up for large sums of money and not one would come out! so what does that say about the value of money? When we pass to the word of spirit we can’t take money with us but we can take happy memories and the feeling of love that we gave and received. I say this again and again but deep down human nature knows it is true.

 

Christmas brings out the good in so many and is a time of being with family and friends and joining in with the celebration of light to the world. This Chritsmas I never thought I would see after going through cancer, but through the love of family and dear friends I am here on Earth to be with those I love.

Stay safe and happy this Chritmas and if you have a chance to show a small act of kindness to someone then please do so. That act of kindness is more than a million pound!
