First Christmas without you πŸ€

Today I spent a few hours with my best friend’s children. It was so lovely to spend some quality time with them. They lost their mum in August this year ~ my best friend πŸ€πŸ•ŠοΈ

We had a lovely time together. Many memories shared and emotions poured. Very raw, sincere and real.

I bought them both a little something. It spoke to me and when they opened the present ~ their smiles coupled with tears said it all.

They have an Angel looking down in them and I wanted to show them this and that their Mumma loves them and is so proud of them. It’s a gift they can use every year and hopefully will give them peace and love ~ like it has given me ~ seeing their faces upon opening. May E and I know the unconditional love that surrounds them from their Mumma but also their family and I. I love E and I to bits and wish them both every success in life and may they see the love in the season 🀍✨

Merry Christmas E and I. I’m here for you always and forever 🀍🀍🀍

Beautiful Angel 🀍

Yesterday my dear friend passed away. She’d battled such an awful disease for so long.

You continued throughout your journey with such dignity and grace. I thank God you are in peace now.

We met 12.5 years ago. When our sons traded war medals for a Ben10 watch. There grew an amazingly beautiful friendship ~ our sons and us.

You called me when you got your results and I promised you then and there I’d be there for you. Always and forever.

The many memories we have of you will never dull. You my beautiful friend ~ you’re etched in our hearts forever.

Today I saw a sign. I saw a feather ~ a white feather. I thought it was fluff when I picked it up outside my home. Just near my Lavender shrub I reached down and then I quickly saw it was infact a white feather.

Thank you our beautiful Angel. Our once Earth Angel is now a Heavenly Angel.

I promise to look out for your children like they’re my own. Forever and ever.

Love you Cath

Too much .. ?

I’m a woman who will do anything for my two children, my partner, my family, my friends and my students. I am a person who will do anything for anyone. I don’t ask for anything in return ~ I never have and never will.

I am an Empath. I feel things others do not. It is a wonderful blessing ~ but also a curse.

I CARE ❀️

I AM LOVE ❀️

I AM SOMEONE who will FIGHT and FIGHT for those I love, respect and adore ❀️

Many people cannot handle this. Many will push and pull you down … 😒

Many people will scorn at your happiness … 😒

I don’t know why??? Perhaps you are TOO MUCH..!

Too much love, too much compassion, too much gratitude and too much kindness

Imagine ….

Imagine if EVERYONE treated everyone with ❀️ the world would be a kinder place for everyone..!

Treasure every moment

My best friend has terminal bowel cancer that has spread.

Today I helped her choose cards for her children to write in and receive for their birthdays and special occasions when their beloved mother passes. I wanted to hold it all in as we were selecting the cards. I held it all together today. I was strong for her.

The smile on her face as she read the contents of each card was priceless. The sheer love she had was angelic.

I know Our Father was looking down on her today and giving her strength and supernatural peace. β€οΈπŸ’–πŸŒ»βœ¨πŸ™Œ

Be original

Today Mark and I went to the most amazing art therapy and meditation workshop. If I had to explain the experience in just one word ~ that word would be AUTHENTIC!!!

It was such a wonderful experience. I am so happy I found it!!! To connect with my inner child again and create is priceless!! I feel so very free now having done this workshop.

I recommend anyone reading this to create! Create, create, create ..!! Create art. Create music. Create a culinary delicacy. Create mud pies..!! Oh how I loved making them as a child..!

Create. Be original. Be free to be yourself.

Be. Here. Now.

This time last week I said goodbye to my best mate – my dog of 15 years 9 months ~ my Baci.

I know he is in a better place ~ he’s no longer in pain and he’s enjoying life to the fullest!

Today I finished reading β€œA Dog’s Purpose” and it was so fitting. The quote at the end is so very true and I want to try to live my life like this.

In the midst of chaos… I am thankful

A recent session with my workplace psychologist suggested that it would be a good idea to write down 3 things I am grateful for. I do this daily but wanted to highlight the 3 constant things I am grateful for every day. These are:

πŸ’– My family

πŸ’– My determination

πŸ’– My faith

I love my family dearly and would do anything for them! I also have some close friends who have become family ~ especially one Cath. My determination I know this season of my life will pass and with my faith we will get through.

LOVE .. I choose β€οΈ

This past week has been insane to say the least! It’s seems the universe has been attacking me left, right and centre…! Or is it The Devil’s handiwork..? They say the most Godly people are attacked the most..

Is this true..???

STOP NOW!!

I renounce ALL evil!!! Leave me alone!!

I am choosing LOVE!!! Love will OVERCOME evil!!!

I AM CHOOSING LOVE ❀️❀️❀️

Rest In Peace buddy β€¦

Today was your last day with us. We knew this morning looking at your face that today was going to be your last day with us.

You are now crossing The Rainbow Bridge.

Love you so so so much. You were always there for me. I didn’t need to say anything ~ your unconditional love was always there like a summer day ~ the sun soaking into your soul.

We will never forget you Baci πŸ’™πŸ’šπŸ’›πŸ§‘β€οΈ
