Travelling

As each day comes to us

refreshed and anew,
so does my gratitude

renew itself daily.
The breaking of the sun

over the horizon
is my grateful heart

dawning upon a blessed world.

Hi all. Just thought I'd check in and let you know that I'm absolutely fine. Life looks brighter by the day and thank you all for your wonderful support. Today this Rainbow Pixie is packing to go for 4 days to an annual Pagan Camp at Lime Tree Farm not too far away from where I live.I'm both scared and excited at the same time.

This will be the first time I've used a tent on my own and fended for myself. I suppose I'm excited because I see it as a time of empowerment for me. Since loosing my sight I have had to face many challenges and realise that I thrive on doing the things I think I cannot or should not be able to do. Loosing my centre vision seemed like the end of the world....but I have learnt to believe that with sheer grit and determination anything is possible. Apart from the help of putting up the tent and gazebo I will be able to rely on myself and myself alone. A great character building exercise! I love this camp. It's an opportunity to meet with like minded folk, play the Djembe, chant, attend workshops, be at peace and sell my work.

My only tinge of sadness this year is that Tony won't be there. Last year was so very special as we were hand fasted in the magical Stone Circle and were serenaded by crickets and the butterfly weaving it's sign of infinity around us. Hand Fasting is a Pagan Wedding that lasts for a year and a day and is renewed every year if the couple agree. Lots of happy memories that we share together.

However, life goes on and non of us know whet's around the corner. Everything is for a reason. We are on this earth for such a short time and we must embrace every little bit of joy as it comes for that's all there is. It is our responsibility to ourselves to make the most of every day. I have decided in my higher wisdom to take the bell tent, which can double up as a communal area at night or if the rains come. I see this camp and the journey I am setting out on as a need to re-affirm who I am as a strong, independent woman (as far as humanly possible) who can triumph over anything providing I put my mind to it.

I have done a lot of soul searching over the last 2 and half weeks and come to know myself even more that I ever believed possible. I appreciate for the first time in my life I have no-one else to look after and take care of and the enormous sense of freedom that this realisation brings with it.

I will use my other blog to explain this in more detail as soon as I get time. The Blog is hidden so if any of my friends want the link please email me through my profile for the link. Have a wonderful weekend.....Oh I feel a song coming on......'Wish Me Luck As You Wave Me Goodbye....dobedobedo. Love and bright blessings and Pixie Power!

Red Sky At Night....

Well, there I was sat at my computer, and after a couple of hours of cleansing rain...when the room lit up. This is what I saw....The sun in it's glory all firey yellow and ornage.

Slowly it sank deeper and deeper into the horizon.

Even Dodger couldn't quite believe it! and came for a look.

The clouds then lit up in the most incredible show of salmon pinks and reds. The photos are taken through the closed window, so don't do the sky justice. My only regert was that I wasn't sat upon a high hill somewhere to soak up the positive energy that was being given out.

A reminder that beyond the rain lies and beautiful sky.

Blessings,

The Invitation

It doesn't interest me what you do for a living.
I want to know what you ache for,
and if you dare to dream
of meeting your heart's longing.

It doesn't interest me how old you are.
I want to know if you will risk
looking like a fool for love,
for your dream, for the adventure of being alive.

It doesn't interest me what planets
are squaring your moon.
I want to know if you have touched the center
of your own sorrow,
if you have been opened by life's betrayals
or have become shriveled and closed
from fear of further pain!
I want to know if you can sit with pain,
mine or your own,
without moving to hide it
or fade it, or fix it.

I want to know if you can be with joy,
mine or your own,
if you can dance with wildness
and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us
to be careful, to be realistic,
to remember the limitations of being human.

It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling me is true.
I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself;
if you can bear the accusation of betrayal
and not betray your own soul;
if you can be faithlessand therefore trustworthy.

I want to know if you can see beauty
even when it's not pretty,
every day,and if you can source your own life
from its presence.

I want to know if you can live with failure,
yours and mine,
and still stand on the edge of the lake
and shout to the silver of the full moon, “Yes!”

It doesn't interest me to know where you live
or how much money you have.
I want to know if you can get up, after the night of grief and despair,
weary and bruised to the bone,
and do what needs to be done to feed the children.

It doesn't interest me who you know
or how you came to be here.
I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back.

It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied.
I want to know what sustains you,
from the inside, when all else falls away.

I want to know if you can be alone with yourself
and if you truly like the company you keep
in the empty moments.

Quotation

I trust so much

in the power of the heart

and the soul;

I know that the answer

to what we need to do next

is in our own hearts.

All we have to do is listen,

then take that one step further

and trust what we hear.

We will be taught what we need to learn.

Melody Beattie

Just to let you know where I am....

It is with a real sense of sadness and regret that I have to inform readers of my blog that Tony Pixie, the love of my life, walked away from our relationship for reasons best known to himself. To us and everyone around him it seemed like the perfect relationship and this has affected everyone around us and we are all in a sense of shock and dismay at this sudden decision.
He was (is?) my soul mate, my partner in crime, the other ‘child spirit’ of the Pixie Tribe.
He has been under enormous pressure at work and I have tried to support him, be there for him and love him through this.
He likes to be a free spirit and feel he is independent and in control…whether this has clouded his judgement or whether he really has made a conscious decision only time will tell. I belie that we were drawn together by the God and the Goddess for a higher purpose, but for whatever reason he did not feel ready or able to fulfil that higher purpose.

I am deeply shocked and hurting that something so wonderfully fantastic and magical could end so abruptly and without warning to something so perfect for the both of us.
I will be there to love and support him in any way I can, and as I always have. He will also have the love and support of our many wonderful friends. All he needs to do is ask and we will be there.
In the meantime I wish him well on his journey through life and hope that he finds that which he is seeking.
For mw, I am taking each day as it comes. Not expecting anything. Reaching out to close friends who have been so supportive in my times of need. In particular Martina who has been with me every step of the way and will continue to be there until my healing is over and I can move on from this.

Whatever happens I hope he finds that which he is seeking and all his dreams are fulfilled.

Love, light and bright blessings,
Sue xxx

The Weekend

Left to right: Tony Pixie, My Mum, my sister Lesley, Rachel and my brother0in-law Roy

The weather was bright and sunny and warm despite the weather reports of more flooding. I had to go to the supermarket after loosing all my food inthe freezer because I dodn't make sure the door was shut! Lesson learnt!
We decided to go and see my mum and dad 35 miles away in Marske a small seasinde fishing village.
Rachel (The Trainee Glitter Sister) showed me aher wonderful new pink shoes and Aunty Sue impressed her by telling her I had ordered the same ones but in purple (of course!).

I was gently persuaded to have my photo takes (Violette style) by my sister...I didn't know what everyone was laughing at as I was concentrating too much on pose and posture. I HATE having my photo taken....comes from lack of confidence as a child....somewhere in my deep dark past. lol

What an angel! or is she a fairy queen in the making?

Despite not liking my photo taken...apparently my mum says that Rachels just like me....now that's funny because if we grab a camera Rachel just LOVES having her photo taken.

The clouds gathered and we were treated to the most amazing thunder and lightning storm. My mum hates thinder and lightning. Took a photo of Rachel in the conservatory while mum was in the kitchen...all of a sudden a loud shriek and OMG! It took a while for my sister to reassure her that it wasn't lightning and it WAS just the flash off the camera. lol.
