Fairy Dust and Princesses

This post is an extended version as I am covering two weeks since I had family here over the weekend and that took priority over writing. Sunday before last, my daughter Caitlin came over with my granddaughter for a visit. They went for swim lessons that morning and then Caitlin stopped and got food for …

The Sliver of Light

I have written before about letting the 'light' in and referred to the Leonard Cohen song. I definitely feel lighter since my sessions. One of the things that has been on my mind since I went for Fascia release and TRE, Yolande said to me that our bodies have the ability to heal themselves, that …

Exactly As I Am

When observant as only someone who is slightly obsessed can be, you can learn a lot about your subject of interest. I have a tendency to fill in the gaps between knowledge with my own imagination. Unfortunately for Norm he has to hear my theories about life. I am obsessed with birds, past the normal …

Time Warped

Last Saturday I had 2 of my girlfriends around for a visit. The weather had been fine all week, but then on Sunday we woke to rain and overcast skies. I decided it was too chilly for normal humans to sit outside (I do not feel the cold). I usually make an effort if entertaining …

Am I That One?

This week I heard someone talking about not wanting to be 'that kindergartener who thinks that their artwork is amazing while everyone else looks at it sadly'. OK maybe that sadness is only when it is a pensioner instead of a kindergartener - else it is just sparkling disappointment, or something like that. Your honour, …

Eyes Towards The Prize

It is hard to believe that it is already almost September and therefore almost my birthday! I am turning 65 on the 3rd of September, so I will officially be a pensioner. I made several suggestions of things I desire and Norm says it sounds more like a Scavenger hunt than a birthday list. A …

Blowing Hot & Cold

South Africa has such vast open skies that sometimes you can be fooled into thinking it is warm outside because you look out the window and the sun is out and it is so bright that the light could blind you. Then you leave the house dressed in a lightweight top and flip flops and …

A Conversation With My Psoas

You may think that my Psoas is getting a lot of airtime lately and you would be right. It is quite literally my entire focus at the moment. I have read that some schools of thought are that the psoas is not a muscle at all, but rather an organ. Every day I log on …

Moving With Intention

Last Saturday was very relaxed. I did interact with a newly identified bird, the Olive Thrush. It came down to the roof of the shed first and watched me for a few minutes. Then he dropped down onto the turf and started pecking at a piece of apple that I had given Poppy. Before she …

Monkey Business

Last Friday was my Mom's birthday so we rang her and had a long chat and she sent a picture of the adorable solar light we had sent her. You see I came by my rabbit addiction quite naturally. Her friends had taken her out for lunch and my uncle had taken her out during …
