taking care of business

so much to catch up on since the black cloud descended but thankfully it seems to be shifting. I was worried there for awhile that it would be here forever. I didn't seem to be able to move it along. Firstly, I want to thank each of you for your loving support, e-cards, emails and comments. I felt I was wrapped in a snuggly cocoon. I am blessed.
so being super sleuth, I hunted down an online support group for survivors of women's cancer - it is called Women Conquering Cancer & I began to feel that I was ok. I wasn't wrong in feeling the way I was - you see sometimes I feel very guilty when I complain about my cancer as I know there are many worse of than me. But these gals, told me to own my feelings - to take a dip in the pity pool (that is what they call it), sometimes we need to do this. I also have linked with a few Australian girls which is good. So my 'cancer head' has moved on again thank God.

yesterday, I was outside and a tiny baby honey-eater was trapped on my verandah. I gently caught it with a plastic rake and it sat on the prongs, just getting its breath - then it started to sing & chirp. I was entranced. I put it into one of my camellia bushes to get its breath back and to recover from the stress and it eventually flew off. When it was sitting on the rake, I had a thought that it could be a faery ! being sent to me to heal me. And I was. what do you think?

Then I had packages that had been delivered during the last few weeks - and they were waiting patiently for me to unpack. I cannot believe that I had lost interest. But it was like Christmas!
I received my ebay win from Colette cecibeau and she had included a package of wonderful ephemera. Thankyou sweet girl - you are one of life's treasures, you really are.

I have also received two of my 6 X 6 blocks from my daisy-lupin friendship piece - one from Daisy herself - along with a podling! I was so excited and she also sent me a kitchen angel block * the other was from Lottie - a gorgeous block. I do have photos but blogger is under a dark cloud today, guess because Mercury is in damn retrograde.

I also received my order from Peggy & Ms*diva - I ordered alot of soap in Christmas fragrances - to place in a basket at my door to give out during the yule season. Peggy had packaged each soap up into little brown packages - to go with my daily parcels theme. Peggy - I love that! I also received my soap of the month from her - a pomegranate fragrance. go and see Peggy at her etsy shop - the link is on my sidebar.
I also have a dilemma: to beta-blogger or not to beta-blogger? that is the question (that I keep asking myself) - I have noticed some of you have switched to the beta system. But I have also noticed that it has many bugs. One is that some of us can't comment if we switch. what to do? I don't know.

I have finished my sacral chakra chapter - it was a difficult one to do - but it was really healing & cleansing for me -which is a good thing. Tomorrow I will post my thoughts so beware - it is not for everyone.

I am also trying to visit you all - I promise I will get there over the next few days - I have so many to catch up on.

blessings, bliss & Beltane blossoms xo
