Nice to see you!

Three major events occurred for me last year (2010), all in the space of about 2 weeks. I turned 50. The following day I got married. Two weeks later, my oldest daughter became pregnant with her first child and my first grandchild.

Most middle-aged people will tell you that in their minds, they still feel 20 something. It's the same for me.

Wasn't it only yesterday that I was planning a night out with guys from the surf club? That gorgeous new perm. Flaired, cuffed denims and the red t-shirt with the off-the-shoulder frill. Corked platform wedgies. **sigh**

Suddenly I'm looking in the mirror and wondering how 30 years can flash by so damned quickly!

So here I am in cyberspace, sharing my genuine shock and horror with anyone who'll listen and maybe I'll even meet some other over 50s who find themselves in the same predicament!

Welcome to my dilemna!!

Women’s Healing

It has been a long, healing, inspiring, sharing, fun and life affirming kind of day.

Nine of us attended the Women’s Healing Retreat at Dallarnil.

We meditated.

We floated to the sound of crystal singing bowls.

We practised Qi Gong to the most beautiful music that made my skin tingle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enefKWxp4ZE.

We shared our powers and our vices and epiphanies.

We coloured in.

We wrote inspiring messages to each other.

We received beautiful blessings.

We gave each other loving affirmations.

We ate fresh, healthful, vegetarian food made by each of us with love.

It was a beautiful day.

This was my fourth retreat run by The Gypsy and each one is better than the last. She runs these retreats as a free service but has a donation box at the door. I willingly popped $70 into the box and still feel the day was worth more. If I’d taken my wallet with me, I’d have put more in at the end of the day.

When your heart and mind are open to healing, these days are truly exhilarating. 

I arrived home at 5.30pm and, thanks to my forethought and Adoring Husband’s barbecuing skills, dinner was served ten minutes later.

As tired as I was, I watched a movie on Netflix before coming to bed.

Now I’m well and truly ready for bed and sleep.






Nite all.
