Let Love Lead You Always...

If you are lucky enough to still have both your parents with you. Then I ask you to please today, and make sure it is today, go and hug them, and tell them you love them. If you can't visit them, then pick up your phone and call them. If you're the type of person who gets embarrassed by doing this, please put your embarrassment away and just make the call, that visit.

My father died on 1st December 2007, it's been just 7 days since he has passed, and I am devastated. I didn't tell my dad those three important words, and I know now that I should have.
We had a rocky relationship for 20 years, and we just didn't see eye to eye. How stupid I was to let things of the past over rule my mind, and not love.

I should have acted with love and I should have always let love be my guide. But I didn't.
It's not until your parents have passed that you realise just how much they mean to you, and it's then you realise your squabbles meant nothing.

If you're currently having any differences with your parents, please put them aside. I don't want anyone to go through what me and my sisters are going through right now. It is heart breaking and so devastating. No one is perfect, your parents are people making their way on earth, just like you. They make mistakes too, and just because they're your parents, it doesn't mean they won't.

To end this, I want to say. I'm so sorry dad, and I love you with all my heart. I just wish things had been different. They say you shouldn't have regrets, but I will always regret not making up with you. Your Marge.

Life in 2007

It's been a while since I last posted here. I'm not sure if anyone even comes here to read? But anyway, it doesn't matter. I just put down my thoughts here and if someone reads it and finds it slightly interesting then, yay! LOL.

Anyway, here I am once again writing down my thoughts. I'm wiser than I used to be and older too! Life keeps dishing out those tests we have to do, even though they're painful at times. This year I had to go through something that was emotionally painful and very hard to do.

We had got ourselves a puppy back in March, but just a few weeks ago, we found her a new home. Giving her up was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do, but I did it for her, also for my hubby and my family. He wasn't a dog person, I had talked him into getting her, and as the weeks went by the stress doubled and things just weren't working out. We tried really hard, but in the end it wasn't fair on Amber our pup, she deserved much better than to be with us.

We found a really good home for her, she went to live with a Church Minister not far from us. We can't see her of course, and we miss her loads. She is a beautiful dog and sometimes it's hard when we think back about her little ways, how she played and her little mannerisms. Sometimes I wish we still had her, but I know deep down we did the best thing for her and us. I'll never forget her. When we were looking for a good home for her, I prayed so hard, I prayed with every bit of essence of my spirit and that evening, Malcome the Church Minister phoned about her. We met him and his wife, and they are adorable people, we just knew our prayers had been answered. Amber went to live with them on 14th May.

I learnt a huge lesson out of this, I think we all did. It was such a painful lesson it broke my heart, and Joe's our son. But we're OK now.

Each lesson we go through makes us wiser and stronger people, sometimes lessons are hard to understand? Sometimes it feels like we're the only ones going through a situation, but in reality there's someone going through the same thing as you. We're not alone and it's not our fault when things go wrong. Things go wrong for a reason, and we have to find the missing puzzle that fits to make things better, or to resolve a situation.

Basically, what I'm trying to say is; If you're in a situation now, where you feel lonely and you feel you're the only one going through your situation, I want you to know you're not. If you need to, reach out and talk to someone and also you can pray. I am a strong believer in prayer. Also focus on what you do want and it can happen. Positive thoughts create positive situations, even though you may find yourself going through a bit of a painful struggle to get there. There really is a silver lining and a light at the end of a tunnel. All you have to do is reach out and touch it.

Take Care,

A New Beginning in 2006

Namaste,

2005 was a lot about moving on in life. My friendships had changed and it was very much a year of reflection and finding myself. Some of the lessons I went through were painful, but you learn and grow from your most powerful lessons. They make us the people we are today and, I am grateful for the lessons I learnt.

2006 has many promises to offer and many challenges to complete. I don't usually make New Year Resolutions, but on January 1st I found myself on the spur of the moment doing just that. I'm working on these now and look forward to jotting them down here as I progress.

I have began my yoga once more and intend to practise daily,
I am working on my attitude towards certain things, and affirmations etc.

Love, Light & Many Blessings

Being the Student.

Namaste,

My journey is one that has brought me many challenges and lessons. Some have been wonderful while others, have been painful. Both types of lessons have made me the person I am today, and I believe that the painful ones are the ones we gain most knowledge from . We're able to find the inner strength we may never had realised we had. In doing so we become healthier, wiser and much stronger people.

I have learnt to have no regrets, and not to look at the past with hurt or anger. Although that does not mean to say I don't feel hurt or anger; we're all human after all and these emotions are natural. It is being able to recognise these emotions and deal with them through love that is the key. It's not easy at first and it can take many months and even years to be able to 'let go' and 'move on'. This is all part of the process of being a student here on earth, and we are all students; all learning our way through our challenges and learning from them as we move about and live in our bodily vehicle.

Each night I pray to spirit just as I have always done since I was a child; my prayer has changed a little as I no longer call spirit by the name I once did. I will thank spirit for my life, and for all the people in my life, for my challenges, past lessons. I will also thank spirit for my coming challenges that are awaiting my arrival and for those who's spirits may need some help.


All this to me is what it is like from my point of view of being the student, of walking a path as a spirit like so many others, infact as we are all doing; making our way home.

With love, light and many blessings.

Reiki

Spirit has guided me to once again work with the Universal Energy. As well as new challenges I must learn to complete as I journey through this path. Lately I've been practicing Reiki, Aromatherapy and Reflexology. I am getting stuck into study and this at the moment is one of my main focuses. Although, my main focus is my family.

My connection with the Universal energy is once again strong and I am now learning to build a new relatonship with reiki. Where as, before I was practicing for the needs of others and in the process forgetting about myself. Now I practice for me and loved ones. I am really enjoying this relationship I have with Reiki.

Expressions through Poetry

Welcome,

I've had a wonderful day today, it was a beautiful day. Due to the fantastic friends I have, I was able to express myself through poetry, and so I wrote a poem for a few of my friends and gave it to them. I'm not putting them here, as it is up to these friends if they want to share them with the world, as the poems were gifts.

I got to also water my garden today, and being outside with nature is one of the greatest gifts we can ever have and experience.

Tonight I was listening to a song on the radio and it reminded me of my life, it took me back to a few years ago where I would remember my life back then. Songs sometimes make me go all sentimental, especially at night listening to ballads. Anyway, I became emotional and I thanked spirit for my life. No I'm not wealthy when it comes down to money, no I am not able to experience a lot of pleasures, others are able to in this world. But, I consider myself rich in happiness, love and contentment. I love my life and I woudn't change it for anything. Thank you Spirit for all the challenges you bring my way. I am truly blessed.

In Love & Peace,

Margo. xXx
