a journey of self discovery. You just never know what we might see. Is that a fairy ring under that rowan tree? Look! - a hedgewitch, I wonder what she is brewing in her cauldron today. Oh, and look at that poor menopausal soul, she needs our love & understanding. We may take a stop at the creativity school or a wander through the garden. And maybe, we will take the time machine back to the past! But wherever we go, we will always take time to stop for tea.

here I am in a little cottage that evokes the energies of my ancestral lands - a cottage on the moors of Cornwall, or on the cliff tops of Ireland or Scotland. It has a hearth. I am a hedge witch {of sorts}. I wear upcycled clothes, patchouli oil and Redback boots. I am a gypsy; an eccentric and a mystic [I often live with a foot in two worlds]. I serve my guests, tea from an old silver teapot. I love Vervain, yarrow, chamomile & mint. Star watcher and Moon gazer. story cloth weaver. keeper of family dreams and wishes. good friend and creator of life. herbal tea drinker and potion maker.

the stuff from True Balance

my cancer was in my sacral area - in my reproductive organs. I had pelvic radiation ~ something I believe is from the dark ages and is barbaric & now I have side effects. The emotional issues from this are coming up now & I am having a dreadfully hard time dealing with them. do I continue with the book, knowing that it is helping ? Or do I stop and push those emotions deeper down, ignoring them? I honestly don't know. All I know is I feel like a bitter old woman right now ~ blaming life for my problems AND that is definately not me, not who I am. I wasn't going to post all of this but it helps to get it out & I thought maybe, just maybe there is someone out there who has had pelvic radiation who can relate to how I am feeling. I am embarrassed by my side effects, they are not something that I want to put out into blog world. There are no support groups here either.
and this dear friends is really why I haven't been blogging - I feel like I have lost my 'joie de vivre'
I feel like I am constantly apologizing for not visiting your blogs, I feel like it is a one way friendship at the moment. I am deeply sorry xox

Robyn there are no apologies needed among friends. Your first concern should be to get yourself in a better place and deal with whatever it is causing your dark cloud. The light is always on so you can find your way back when you are ready.
XOXO

Robyn you must do what ever it is you need to do to get better. I don't think supressing this will help.Stop worrying about other people and what they think, do what is right for you.Only you know what you need to do

Don't feel the need to bury what you're feeling, it'll only come out one day, face it and you can start to heal. I haven't gone through anything like what you've been through, I can only imagine how scary it must be.

Are there any support groups you can find through your GP? I know the emphasis is put on support when patients are diagnosed (here at least), and although it's probably woefully inadequate, perhaps it's a start?

Don't worry about visiting. We'll be here, as I've always said before. Your health is so important, please take care of yourself! xoxo

Robyn, I think this is all stuff that has needed to come out, I get your drift about side effects. I don't think it can be healthy to try and bottle this up again now it has come to the surface. Is there no one who can take you and help you work slowly through this some holistic person. Don't worry we won't desert you.xx

(((Robyn))) you don't need to be visiting us...we know you're thinking of us:-) You said it felt good to get it all out on your post about how you're feeling...proof that your writing about it in your book is good for you. It needs to ALL come out and then maybe you can have some peace. I haven't had radiation personally but my dad did for his liver and bone cancer before he passed away 26 years ago and I remember the awful side effects on his body. You are not alone dear Robyn...we're always here for you! xox

Honey, don't push the feelings down because that will be worse in the long run. But, a big but, do take a break from all the chakra work every so often. Be gentle with yourself, do it slowly, gradually. I'm glad you reached out.

Robyn, I think I know something of what you are experiencing with the side effects of pelvic radiation. My dad had a really hard time with them when he had postrate cancer. Write to me privately if you need to. Blessings, Annie
