Midsummers Day...Solstice blessings...

Seventeen years ago tomorrow was my wedding day...when my partner of ten years and I exchanged vows and promised 'in sickness and in health'...together forever.... The marriage didn't last..everything changed when I nearly died..I had woken up..it was the death of the self..a knowing that I was not the body/mind......within eighteen months, the marriage was over...it was a conscious death.

From there, I devoted myself to a spiritual life...committed to living in love and truth, from the heart...met a spiritual master and began a very different way of life, surrendering my wants, needs..'my life'..a choiceless choice..amazing.  That too transitioned...moving to begin living in the world as an ordinary human but in an extra ordinary way..

Exactly a year ago, a man claimed me...we exchanged some powerful statements and commitments... To love each other completely, utterley and without reservation.    They felt like vows..they sounded like vows...truly meant in that moment.    We were both shocked by the power we experienced..it was an energetic bond.   That too has transitioned with much sadness ...but a knowing that what is meant to be is. really there is no separation from love...all is perfect!

Today, Midsummers Day, Solstice.. .half way through the year, time to pause and reflect, with appreciation and to cut ties and sever those hidden energetic cords.   The past must be accepted and surrendered so that the new can come in.     

Black Moon Lilith came in last week...I dont know much about astrology so if any of this is inaccurate, please forgive me...but I understand Lilith represents the repressed feminine in both genders.  The angry goddess..declaring her right to 'feel'.  Its a time to express these...but with love...not to suppress them.   She came in last week and I have certainly been feeling the emotions and feelings of the 'repressed feminine' coming through my body.  For the masculine around me, he has certainly been getting the brunt of this when he has been with me...its been a long time since I have felt such rage, snappiness, impatience....every time it came through..it shook me how venomous this woman could be.    Thankfully, the masculine has not taken it too personally and stood by with patience and unconditional love.   These emotions have softened in the last couple of days..I have nurtured myself, honoured myself, as I began an early moon time...  but Lilith is around for quite a while yet. 


Getting ready for the 'super' full moon on Sunday..looking forward to watching her rise over the hills.  Ready to revitalise and re energise... beginning the second phase of 2013..I feel great trepidation.    It would be wonderful to have clear skies...but She will be felt in any case.

Much to unfold over the next week or so.... heart felt callings to retreat have been heard, my operation is likely to be cancelled/postponed - the doctors and I are just going through the motions for a while longer, possibilities have been acknowledged...now it is all in the universe and I will see what manifests...

PS!  as I publish this blog..guess what comes up on my Itunes Shuffle - the song we played for our dance at our wedding!  Still sounds good...embarrassingly!    do I tell you what it was?  I will whisper:  "Because you loved me" by Celine Dion) 
"I am everything I am because you loved me..."

A month flown by! Mayfly visits...

Wow...over a month since I last wrote a blog!

There has been much going on, moving and transforming..

Healthwise...my operation has been delayed and there is to be yet another discussion this week to see if I really need another date set..  I feel myself that my breathing has much improved and reluctant to go ahead..we will see.

What I do need to do is improve my fitness...so does my Milo, my dog!  He's put on a little bit too much weight lately...so we are both on a 'get fit' campaign.  I have been given a 'walking machine'..which has to be said, takes up much space in my little lounge..but it will be great to monitor my progress..so looking forward to getting started on that.   I am also recruiting some 'doggie play mates' for Milo and a walker to get him out there running..and we had a great walk yesterday along the Worcestershire Way, near to our home.   This was a taster of the type of walk we used to do, before I got too poorly to walk far, it was amazing...new smells and sights for both of us.  You can see how chuffed Milo is from these pics! 

My little garden has been revamped...everything changed around...fresh compost in every pot, new plants potted...ornaments shifted, fairy lights entwined for dusk...felt great...will post pics when they start to flourish..

Its been a month of more music, gigs, beaches, new friends, old friends.. Amazing really.

Yesterday as I completed an email and let go of a situation which was no longer serving anyone, a Mayfly came and landed on my left breast..it stayed there whilst I checked my words and hit the send button..and then it flew back out of the open door.  Life is way to short to mess around...playing games.. The Mayfly was a beautiful reminder..it was beautiful...freedom in its leaving...knowing it only has one day to live. :)

Meaning of Mayfly:  "Mastery of life on the move. Transformation whilst moving.  Living in the moment.  Ability to escape a blow. Breaking illusions"

Perfect!
