Is it any wonder it is used as a sign of the kiss?

This photo was taken a couple of weeks ago at the start of the New Year and there was not just one but several of these cross signs in the sky!

It never ceases to amaze me about the enormous amount of synchronicity that happens in my life. How easily one thing can lead to another, one chance meeting or event can lead you in a certain direction, which could not have been planned if you tried. I believe that all events and meeting with people happen for a reason. Perhaps it’s to learn something from that experience or person, sometimes it’s to lead you down a different path than the one you are taking. Events no matter how tragic and hopeless at the time can end up being the start of something very big and important in your life.
Do you ever pan right back in your past and think about what has led you to where you are today? How different your life would have been without that synchronicity?

Often I sit and muse about my past and realise that an amazing chain of events led me to where I am today, despite life’s trials and tribulations. We just have to be open to the signs and go with the flow, fighting against something may be the worst decision of your life. This may be your moment for a miracle!

24 years ago now I was diagnosed with Cancer of the cervix. For 3 years the hospital did nothing, telling me it was only slight changes and nothing to worry about. 3 years later they had to admit they made a mistake and I was at the stage of CIN3. They wanted to give me a hysterectomy, I refused, I had a young son and although I didn’t want any more children I wasn’t going under the knife without a fight and ONLY as a last resort. The hospital told me it was a stupid decision and I should reconsider. I compromised and told them that I would do it my way for a year, then I would hand over to them. I went to the library and became obsessed with alternative medicines and therapies. I read a book by the title of ‘Does your diet cure cancer’. I turned vegetarian, fed myself a cocktail of vitamins and minerals, took Bach Flower Remedies (which I still swear by today) and hit the self help section in the book store. I was treating not only my body but my mind. It was then that I became interested in my thought process and thinking patterns that had shaped my life up until that point. I learnt about myself, my actions and reactions to things around me. I had to look at how I verbalised my feelings to others, and how I reacted to what they said to me. From there I looked into Buddhism, philosophy and psychology.

I then decided that if I was going to die I may as well do what I wanted to and take more risks in life, and although I am a pragmatist at heart, I still to this day take risks (probably a little more subtle these days), but anyway, I took out a bank loan and started my own business, never thinking I would be around long enough to pay the darn thing off!!!!
(For the record, a year later and with the minimal treatment I was given the all clear and the hospital had to eat their words!)
I took up Quilling and was one of one 3 suppliers of the cut paper in the country. I needed a job that would fit around my sons schooling and started to teach at the local college. It was only when I was asked to teach ‘Quilling’ at my local college the following September and everyone turned up with a pen! Did I take up calligraphy? I basically taught myself out of books all week, top teach the 2 hours a week on an evening. I hadn’t a clue what I was doing, but the students were patent and were adamant that they didn’t want to play with rolled up strip[s of paper called Quilling, they wanted to write! I didn’t know then that it would take me many hours and the next 10 years of my life to actually be anywhere near good at it, and probably if I knew that I wouldn’t have even started.
And can I just add here (for those who are still awake! Lol) if you’re one of those who don’t believe in synchronicity, then how do you explain it when you suddenly get someone in your head and then the phone rings and it’s that person? Possibly someone you haven’t thought about or seen for some years? Or a though comes to you, quite out of the blue and just won’t leave….then something happens that gives you the AHA factor. Quite different to coincidence. When and where and how to so see those signs and symbols?

Strangely enough it took another major health scare to drive me into action again, this time it was to be the loss of my centre vision in one of my eyes which was to propel me into starting my own business again. I decided that time was short and I had nothing to loose but everything to regret if I didn’t use the sight I had and create as much as I could while my other eye was ok. I worked with one ‘good’ eye, 3 days before I opened my new studio I had bleeds on the back of my good eye which made me loose the centre vision in that eye too, although not to the extent of the other. I (somehow – and sometimes with greater difficulty than I care to admit) manage to work with high powered magnification, really frustrating at times when you need to get close to your work and can’t because your fat head is in the way! And there are lots of things I can no longer do. I used to love Gilding and painting, I’m not an artist but could trace and paint if I put my mind to it. Now I can’t paint between 2 lines to save my life! But hey… never say never. Now crazy that this might sound (and its ok to be a crazy thinking when you are an artist – it’s what makes us creative!) but had I never had the cancer I would not be doing what I am doing today and probably on the job scrap heap for the rest of my life (my eyes are really not much use in the conventional world). Yikes! Can you imagine I would actually have to be really good at housework or something like that! The many Philosophers, who’s books I read and words of wisdom gave me hope during my darkest times have put me on my spiritual path and are the life blood of my business, as well as making me the person I am today. How crazy is life?
This year so far has been very odd for me and what I believe in. I have had no less that 6 people come back into my life from waaaayyy back. Then I’ve found work in the studio that I had totally forgotten about….again from waaaayyy back. And there are amazing amounts of stuff going on, like it’s all part of the past and has to be brought to the future. Don’t understand this right now, but I will, things just take time to germinate. Everything becomes clear eventually. If you’re following a road and it happens to be the wrong one, something will happen to make you stop and think. Try to over analyse it and you’re on a looser. Just go with it. Ignore it and sure as eggs is eggs something will happen so big you can’t avoid noticing it.

I have said that I don’t make New Year Resolutions. These are something you need to give up. I make wishes to myself. I write them down and practically forget about them. I’m usually amazed by the end of the year how near I am to achieving what I set out for the year, and this is without setting check list and going back over them. If you have read The Secret or The Laws of Attraction, it’s that kind of thing without bombarding yourself with the whys and wherefores. Some of us have been doing this for years…. We just never thought of writing a $1,000,000 best seller!!!!
Anyway, the point of this blog posting is never to give up your dreams. Take more risks, your time on earth is short. Create Art – EVERYONE is creative! Don’t sweat the small stuff. Change what you can and leave the rest alone, it will take care of itself. Be strong, knowing that you are the best person you can be. Above all, just do it now, it’s no good sitting in your rocking chair ‘wishing’ you had done things differently.

I am told that the best bloggers keep on topic and to decide what my blog is about. Is it about my work, my spiritually, my beliefs, animals, nature, philosophy???? Well I hope the above has explained that it's really hard to define where one part of my life starts and the other ends. The above makes up the whole of me. So I guess that this blog is just about that....me, myself and I. A human being with human feelings. It's my opinion that people will only read what they want to read, the decision to turn off and tune out is entirely their decision and nothing is against their free will.

In love and light and brightest blessings,

New Year, New Start and Woes

Well, I seem to be just about back in the stride of things at the studio. I was really ill during Christmas and New Year with this wretched flu that seems to have hit almost everyone in the UK. I never really get ill, but everyone was forbidden to come and see me as I didn’t want to pass it on! Ironic really, I live alone and work alone and managed to avoid it, 2 days Christmas shopping and I went down like a ton of bricks, that’s what happens when people who are ill decide to fight on. However, there are always plus points to life’s downers, and it gave me plenty of time to rest, put my feet up and think about the year ahead.
I have made plans both for myself and my business and we will see what happens on that front. Work seems to be picking up nicely and hopefully this year will be a good one.
T and I finally ended the relationship at the beginning of December. After trying for a year and a half after his initial walk out I realised that there was not enough room in his life for me and I really need someone who at least is a big part of my life, not someone who steps in and out at will. In hindsight we are very different people and it’s not fair on either of us to try to fit in with someone who is quite different. Isn't it strange that you can think someone is so perfect for you and then things can turn out quite the opposite. Perhaps we go into a relationship seeing what we want to see and then as time goes on see things as they really are. Ah well, all part of life's learning curve, and we learn more from our failures than we can ever learn from our successes. It's all part of the 'Mystery'.

I had planned to go into the studio between Christmas and New Year to make my sons Wedding Invitations, but could hardly find the energy to get off the settee so I started them this week…..here are the photos……

Invite and RSVP Card

The only real downer this year is that my Website, which T spent so much time and energy building is due to run out and as I haven’t got the passwords and haven’t the first idea on how to go about renewals etc. it looks like I will disappear. Unfortunately T decided that there was no point in staying friends, so can’t even ring him to ask for help. that's what happen when you don't do something yourself. Hopefully a meeting with my business advisor will come up with some bright ideas, even if I have to pay for it.
Such is life, lol.

But if anyone has any wise suggestions as to self build sites that are user friendly, I would very much appreciate it.

If off to my sons tonight for a takeaway....it's his 28th Birthday! And I', so looking forward to it. Can it really be 28 years since I was lying there wondering what the hell I was supposed to do with that little vulnerable bundle in my arms? My how quickly time flies!

True Love Never Dies

Awwww.... I'm trying to play catch up with some of my friends blogs and found this on Philip Carr-Gomm's weblog.
WATCH THIS

During my time taking in can caring for waifs and strays of the four legged variety has always left me with a sense of great joy and amusement. They love unconditionally and time spent with them is never wasted. They ask for very little in life, but give so much. Their needs are not based on power or control and they make excellent feet warmers in the Winter.

Turn up the volume FULL BLAST and listen to this

Stand By Me

It’s not usual for me to make New Year Resolutions, but this year I plan to make an exception: I intend to Simplify my life.

I intend to grow my own veg, spend more time doing the things I want and less of the things I don't, give more back to the world I live in and try and get involved in a project that will benefit those less fortunate, in whatever way presents itself. I will be more aware of my footprint on this planet and become as self sufficient as possible and love and laugh more and perhaps try to worry a little less about the small insignificant things that happen unless it becomes a life or death situation! .... yeah, no big changes there then, just more of the same really lol.

HOWEVER.......

In these days of perhaps impending doom and gloom, the closing of many businesses both large and small and the subsequent loosing of peoples jobs and dignity that will go with it, I think the most we can hope for in the coming year is the same as we have had over the last…..the love and support of friends and family, in return for the same.
Despite the ridiculous situation our economy seems to be heading for, I wish you hope, peace, love and friendship for the coming year ahead. Hold on to your seatbelts, it’s going to be a bumpy ride, but know that everything is easier if you have people to share it with.
For this reason, I offer the following video, sent from the heart.

Playing For Change: Song Around the World "Stand By Me"

And if I can put a teeny, tiny request out there to the universe for this coming year.... if there's a single guy out there like Mark Johnson.......I WANT ONE!!!!!! lol

Please watch this video One Love - Interview + an Unforgettable Rendition of "One Love" and pass it on.

Remember folks, at the end of our days, we will not be remembered for how much money we have accumulated, or what we have achieved, we will be remembered by what we GAVE to others. Lets at least pray for Peace, Love and One World, One Heart. Everyone enters the world being loved and the only thing we can take with us and leave behind is love....simple as that.

People come into our lives,

and softly go,

for whatever reason,

True friends are with us

forever.

To all my Blogging friends far and wide,

for your continued support and encouraging messages

both in comments and by email, I wish you

Peace, Hope and Love for 2009,

and i'll leave you with a quotation by Roald Dahl:

And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic

will never find it.'.......

Brightest of Blessings,

Sue - Aka The Purple Pixie! xxx

What's going on? Religion, Politics and Money! Be awake, be VERY afraid! lol Or at least be VERY aware and informed

Religion, Politics and Money! well worth watching, takes a few minutes to get into but please dear people, bear with it....it's well worth your time.
But be warned, you may have to pause a few times to pop that kettle on..... it's long

Hand Made Greeting Cards

It’s easy to think from my website that I only make a few cards SEE THIS LINK HERE but this was perhaps an oversight on my part of not getting my full catalogue of over 150 designs added. It’s one of those things that I was always going to get round to but for whatever reason, it never got done. After an enquiry from a client and because I haven’t a clue about adding these to my website I have added them to my other blog HERE which deals only with the business side of my life. I am in the process of finding someone who can update my website as I really need to get round to adding commissions done and my concertina card collection also other items completed for sale but which have never reached the website.

Hopefully, it will not be too far in the future, but in the meantime the blog will serve as a current and more up to date record of work. Anyone interested can reach me by my email at inspiredbyscript@yahoo.co.uk

'Nigerian' money scam: What happens when you reply?

For anyone and everyone who has had an email offering you pots of money in return for your bank details.... you really MUST read this! lol. Nice one! my sense of humour...Wish I had thought of it first!

The Scam Report Website

Hmmmm wonder what happens when you reply to the ones offering you a larger....errr.... male appendage!



On a more serious note, my brother had an email from his bank (he does a lot of online banking transactions), you think your money and details are safe? NOT SO!
His bank details, his date of birth, national insurance number along with his ID and passwords of every site he had joined was found ready for use by the Mafia in Russia!
This virus was not picked up by his 3 virus and anti spy software programmes, lurks in the background and stores and saves EVERYTHING you type into your computer. The ONLY time his national insurance number had been entered was to check for eligibility of Child Tax Credits, but his bank details were there too. While it is east to change our ID's and Passwords and even email and bank accounts, Name, Addresses and National Insurance numbers along with personal details CANNOT be changed.
Please dear people think very, very carefully before you enter any of this information on the Internet.
The virus is called: the sinowal trojan and was picked up by his bank! I would advise people to do a Google search for it.

This is what his IT guy had to say:
Because it involves the MBR, this comes with the health warning that it MIGHT screw the hard disk and lose all your data so anything important should be backed up first.

Back up and think twice before entering any personal details on line.

To be nobody – but yourself –

Another quotation in my ever growing list that I find 'speaks to me' or is useful for someone close to me that would perhaps gain some wisdom from it....

To be nobody - but yourself -
in a world which is doing its best,
night and day,
to make you everybody else -
means to fight the hardest battle
which any human being can fight,
and never stop fighting.
e.e. cummings

At times in our lives it's hard for us to just 'be' ourselves. We want to be what we consider ourselves, but society 'expects' us to look, act and behave in a certain way. Our job titles predetermine how we should act. I am one of the lucky ones, I'm sure that nutty and artist go hand in hand and could not even consider what my life would be like if I had to sit in an office all day.
To be alternative is only OK with those closest to you and others with similar alternative views.

How often are you really free to be yourself? People love you for 'who' you are not 'what you do', but in today's mixed up society, very often success is measured by wealth and possessions not personality, not unconditional love and caring for our fellow man.
Bring on the old ways. Feel free to be yourself (if you dare), make someone laugh or smile, give them a hug is they need it, and wear the clothes that reflect you! We are on this earth for such a short time, we are here to make the most of things, embrace and grab at every little piece of joy and happiness life can throw at us, so at the end we can look back and know that we lived it to the full.
Love often, play like a child, splash in puddles, roll down hills....
Ask yourself.... how differently would I live if I knew I only had 3 months to live?

You have the freedom to be yourself, who dares wins!

In love and light,

Quotation

Another Quote came in early this morning....never a true word spoken....

Some people think only intellect counts: knowing how to solve problems, knowing how to get by, knowing how to identify an advantage and seize it. But the functions of intellect are insufficient without courage, love, friendship, compassion and empathy.
Dean Koontz

On my last post I recieved a comment from Denise she says...
Came across your blog because of the google alert service, but just wanted to suggest you try a Bioflow magnetic therapy collar for your dog.

Thanks Demise for being so kind and thoughtfuk. I have contacts in the Natural/Alternative Therapy circles and will get on to this one straight away.
Love and brightest blessings to you,
