Blessed Life....

I am so blessed to have touched so many wonderful, crazy, beautiful people in my life......

and to have given birth to four of them....

It makes me want to travel forever to touch lives with more and more....but then..

I will really miss the ones I have to leave in order to do that...

And I have found my home...

If you and I have touched lives...then I thank you....

A Walk...

Went for a walk this evening to the end of the valley, it is so peaceful here wandering in the hills...

and the light, as the sun was setting, was wonderful :)

I have definitely been here before....

I feel it...my soul knows this land...

Took this photo...

..I love the sunspots and the way they cover the valley with their rainbows..it's kind of *right*......

Then I came back to home sweet home....

to be greeted by my lovely woolly friend ......

No sign of that full moon yet....

Cleansing...

It rained all day yesterday, and there is a full moon tomorrow evening at 10.48pm..

The old moon...the winter moon..

well maybe not the winter moon in this hemisphere, but I guess it could be....

the death of old things...

maybe even not so old things...

just things....

...of this last lunar month...


Seems a good time to renew and recharge....

So I threw my crystal to the elements..

for now...

On Healing....

Clear water
runs down
over my head
drenches..
my hair....
heals and
cleans.... as
it clings to
my body....

So ALIVE......

sparks
like tiny
lighting flashes...
tell me
I am....
truly
Alive...
and
as I
linger
the water
becomes
me
we are one...
flowing
together..
cooling....
becoming
so much...
vapor........

Happy Morning :)

Woke to a fun bright sunny morning...

Sitting on my magic carpet, on the dry Marlborough earth, letting the sun heal me and feeling the warm wind swirling down the valley to fuel my flight....

I found a Lost Boy...so I guess he's no longer lost?

I adorn you with my best origami paper crown :)

Phoebe drew this picture for me, and we made the Escher style fish! I love the blue haired person...looks like she is juggling rainbows.....

The photo I took from the magic carpet while it was temporarily grounded....I kind of like this photo not sure why...maybe the different trees, the shadows...

hmmmmmm

Thank you .........

More Angels..

Yesterday was not so good....but today was full of Angels...

An angel landed at my feet...literally....well at my car wheels..and I didn't hit him...

Another angel waited by the roadside to make me laugh all the way into town....

An Angel at the farm supplies let me in late as they were closed and we had run out of lambs milk..., the computers were all shut down, but he let me pay in cash and gave me discount!!!

And an Angel in Arizona sent me my favorite Burt Bees Lip Balm...

There were other Angels too.....

Oh and this little hedgehog came to visit us this evening....he seemed to like the yummy plums on our tree......

Latest Passions....

I have a few new passions in my life....

Searching for..... and trying to make the perfect mochaccino or even cappuccino..which I have trouble spelling....

Have trouble with getting the mixture and sweetness and chocolatiness (Johnny I need you..), right in the Mocha and trouble frothing the milk in both!!!

My silly little milk frother thingy is just not man enough for the job !

I may try hot chocolate with chili too...

Something else I have got into again is Origami..

Sort of like meditation in a way.... and it uses paper ;-P

And I adore....

paper...

There are more but to have them all in one post would be too much...

Angels...

I needed some Angels around me.....

it's been a tough few days....

and this evening.....

I found some....

Sheep :)

We just love sheep...

Phobe and Draco had tea together...

The other sheep are the *visiting relations*..they appeared on Christmas eve and seem to like it here even if the holiday is over!!!

Ginny

Dwell as near as possible to the channel in which your life flows

So said Henry David Thoreau ....

and this *is* where my life flows right now....

here in this valley with my little people and the sheep...

This is Ginny.... a lamb we rescued and healed, she is doing really well....

Good Mochaccino and Good Friends...

Decided to go to Nelson for the day....good move :)

Met up with Mark and saw his awesome tree-house....

Posted my appeal with racing heart and a bad case of the shakes....anxious..me????

Tabby and I were given some Chinese wishing stars....

Had delicious Mochaccino at Zippy's..most Bobalicious... (before and after shots above..)

Went to see another friend and then we all went for more yummies at Hot Rocks Pizza!

Came different route home and got back at 2.00am....

Good day had by all :)

A walk around the Glen.....with Johnny Depp

Chilled most of the day.....watched Charlie and the Chocolate factory which we got for Christmas...

and... Gilbert Grape...... a Johnny Depp extravaganza!!!

*Slurp*

I just adore the line in Charlie when he says *Everything here is eatable
...I'm eatable.....*

Went for a walk to the end of my valley..you can see from the photos how very dry it is here....

anyway......had to cool off, between helpings of JD ;-P

A Present...

Today a friend flew in to visit us

....and I got a present...

been wanting one of these for ages and he searched the whole of the North Island to find it!!!

Just let anyone moan about my cooking again ;-P

I love it....

And now it's here......

I'm ridin' hard carryin' a cache of roses
A fresh map that I made
Now I'm gonna get birth naked and bury my old soul
And dance on it's grave
And dance on it's grave

It's been a long time comin', my dear
It's been a long time comin', but now it's here
And now it's here


Actually it hasn't been that long at all.....
the year has gone so fast..
but it's been a full one .....for sure...

This is my Christmas jewellery....

....good messages for 2006 ;0)

Happy Foot :)

My foot is happy.....

Water of Love

High and dry in the long hot day
Lost and lonely in every way
Got the flats all around me sky up above
I need a little water of love

I’ve been too long lonely and my heart feels pain
Crying out for some soothing rain
I believe I have taken enough
I need a little water of love

Water of love deep in the ground
No water here to be found
Some day baby when the river runs free
It’ll carry that water of love to me........

New Years Eve.....time to reflect...

on what was, and what is, and what I would like to be...

So I lay in the burning sun, by this beautiful South Island river

..... and try to connect, with the higher ones....

Lambs and Lovers...

I wake in the morning, and there are always at least two lambs on the deck outside my bedroom doors. We have two of our own, but they appear to have had *relations* visiting for Christmas! This is ok, until Draco Moonboots (pictured above..) decides to try and bullfight with them. We really love them being around though.

Watching Romeo and Juliet..the modern one, the girls got it for Christmas...so far the general view here is *awful* ! Tabitha's production at school was waaaaaaay better!!!

A really neat day..with great company...had a few of those lately, and I ain't complaining :)

I trust.....

..the perfection of the Universe....

and send out love and harmony and peace...and more flowers.....

I have never been in a position in my life before, when I know so very clearly, what I want....

..but I am there now....

So I have to focus....and trust and believe that the Universe will do right by me

....and it ain't as easy as it sounds.....

Flowers....and pink things..

....never been very girly, but maybe it's time I started. I want to be female, I want a Knight to fight my dragons, and I want flowers!!!

These are some of my flowers..the lovely woven grass ones, Pollyanna made me for Christmas...I feel blessed.... flowers and a knight, what more could I ask?

Don't tempt me ;-p

PS. Feminine or not I still refuse to wear murk up....except maybe toenail varnish

..oh and yeah I would love to be painted...but we won't go there just now.....

Yawn......

Was due for a really good sleep but the phone rang at 5.50am...

*ouch*

......woke me from an interesting kind of dream

...hmmm odd that..very odd....

*Anyway* I am feeling out of sorts.....

.....so gonna go bathe in some magic.....

Christmas on the beach...

..the stuff of all my nitemares!!! But that was before I realised my true birthright...

Hey yeah we did it..

Boxing day at the beach with new friends!

This is Pollyanna, Tom and Mana...just chilling....

The heat of the sand..... the feel of it under my feet, the smell of the pine tree's... sound of the waves..was just awesome!

Maybe I should move here....gypsy soul comes to the fore...I always wanted to be a beach bum when I grew up though....

..the sea was cool but nice, Tabby did some bodysurfing..brave kid o mine!!!

Lovely weather, beautiful place and wonderful company....found some neat stones too....

Now I *am* a Kiwi..but that was never in doubt.......

..from Angels...to Dragons.....

Christmas night...

...warm earth beneath my feet...

...my burning back, still holding the heat of the sun..

....or is it the fiery breath of the dragon,

in the sky above the woolshed.....

What I got for Christmas....

A Knight in shining armour..!

Who was it that said we must create our own reality, and live in our own dreams?

So here he is...my Knight!

Just what I wished for.....all that reading to Boo of The Once and Future King has paid off ;-)

And then...

..there is the Angel of darkness...

.... which is not so good.....

....but I guess we have to go there....

...no light without dark....

Angels...

Angels were around today..in abundance....

life feels warm, and cosy and embracing...

maybe it *is* time that I began to trust....

in the universal love that surrounds me.....

My Baby is *FIVE* ...

Phoebe..our Winter Solstice baby is a big 5 !!!

Good day, we chilled out at home after three hectic days in town.....

Local paper came to interview us...

Life feels good.....

....a few dreams to sort out, but I'll get there :)

Solstice

The longest day..Summer Solstice, my first in my beloved Kiwiland.

Last year this was the Winter Solstice, but I like it this way round right now!

Went outside this morning and took photo's...not great and this one is full of sunspots *but* I like it this way; anyway my lens hood has disappeared :(

The moon was in the sky too, they looked towards each other and everything felt right with the world......

Heal or Hurt?

Thats the current burning question..not sure of the answer right now......

I need to be healed....enlightened; but it has to be right. I do believe in energy, and respect it, so this stuff has to be right for me......

Hurt I think......but then maybe I should choose *HEAL*

Goin' Back

I feel like goin' back

Back where there's nowhere to stay

When fire fills the sky

I'll still remember that day

These rocks I'm climbing down

Have already left the ground

Careening through space.....

A Baked Alaska Experience

Been busy making my life here.....so nothing has been posted of late.... but I had to post this pic of the first Baked Alaska of my life!!! We made this last week....definitely success on a plate once we managed to find the correct tools for the job!!! I always wanted to make one of these and the Baked Alaska experience is one I would love to repeat....and explore....
