I remember thinking that when I was first learning to garden, way back when, when I learned that aspirin comes from the willow. The more I learned about herbs, plants, trees, the more amazed I was at the brilliance of this whole creation. We have everything we need. Even chocolate!
I am a survivor, glass half full, making my way through life... accompanied by my assorted cats, hens and my doggy of course! My children are now grown but still a source of joy to me. I try to live simply, according to my own ethos and beliefs, and this is the record of my quiet days here.....
I follow a solitary pagan path, watching the seasons turn and seeing beauty in the Earth. Come share my journey with me....
thank you to these people who follow my blog regularly...

SHIfT happens... see below
SHIfT happens...
the award acknowledges... * Speak our truth from the heart and tell it like it is * Share openly and honestly our true feelings without fear of judgement, blame or shame. * We write to share our achievements so others can also share our joy. * We write about our bad times too, knowing that the love and support of others is around us and perhaps heal another’s pain in the process.. *We are human beings with real feelings and emotions and REFUSE to hide behind a mask. * We dare to be different * We are Free Spirits * We realise that by spilling out, we lighten our load. * We acknowledge our strengths and weaknesses and don't see them in terms of success or failure. * We laugh together and cry together * We are all following our own journey in our own unique way * Above all else, we may lie on the floor, screaming and kicking, or feel like life is collapsing around us once in a while….but at the end of the day, we drag ourselves up, dust ourselves off and rise to fight another day. *For we write not to please others, stroke our own egos or be judged, but because our blogs are our therapy, and through sharing SHIfT HAPPENS!
.....Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.........
“Give me a land of boughs in leaf, A land of trees that stand; Where trees are fallen, there is grief; I love no leafless land…”
