I am blessed to be friends with 2 amazing women. These women are just ordinary people with extraordinary abilities ~ they always provide me with that little extra understanding and awareness I need to make better sense of situations and experiences.
My intention this week has been to focus on my ‘other’ life ~ readings, Angels, messages ~ rather than indulging in all things Stamping (I am still inspired by the projects going on at UStamp – next week!). I guess I don’t ‘notice’ what I achieve in these kind of weeks because I don’t have a physical project on display to remind me of what I have accomplished. Hmm. Maybe I need to create some kind of acknowledgement for my learnings. 
But, it’s only Thursday and I have learned so much already, this week. Monday’s Gift was being given the opportunity to find a Place of Peace within my heart and soul, regarding the emotional rollercoaster of grief that has taken over my life. My lovely and wise friend LISTENED – I mean, Really LISTENED – to me, in a way which is quite unique. She Actively Listens and ‘hears’ what you are saying, on all levels. And then she responds … and so much of what I have been dealing with is eased. For it’s not really my father’s death that I am dealing with as much as it’s the relationship disharmony I feel with the people still living.
Tuesday’s Gift was the first card I took at Angel Lunch ~ Relationship Harmony. Oh, Wow! So simple, so appropriate ~ and it still blows me away that the Universe is so in sync with me and my life.
Wednesday’s Gift was from my Lovely Tarot Reading Friend, with whom I was having coffee, and from whom I received (as I always do) the most incredible comments/observations/messages, which seem to ’spring from nowhere’. At a previous coffee, I was told I had Rabbits bouncing around my head. LOL. Lots and lots of inspiration and ideas were flooding my awareness that day!
Her message was about my Dad’s need for Control and how that impacted on my life. It certainly did! My entire life with Dad alive has been one big journey of his expectation of how I should and would behave. Of course, I inherited a lot of ‘bloody-mindedness’ from both of my parents so unfortunately, for dad especially, I have been Seriously Challenged on the ‘Yes, I am happy to capitulate’ front. From the time I was young and not allowed to learn to ride a bike, or go out with friends at night (until the end of exams in Year 12), through to being informed about what would be appropriate behaviour for me to adopt, “given my upbringing”, as a 40 year old, Dad has been attempting to Control my life.
It seems funny thinking about it now because I’m pretty sure that the same rebellious attitude to life that I have is the one that Dad had. Gosh, life must have been hard in his head, too, growing up.
And, today, I am doing What I Love – a Reading ~ Angels, Past Lives, whatever is needed. I understand how important those Pieces of the Puzzle are, for making sense of life. I have received exactly those gifts from 2 lovely friends, and the Angels, this week. I am Very Grateful.
