THE MOON

I would like to share an inspirational story dedicated to my dearest mom who passed away on the 27th January, 2013.

My mom was a firm believer in the energies of the full moon and used to do a full moon meditation each month.  The time of her passing was one could say by co-incidence, but I believe planned by her.  She passed at the full moon as it was shining brightly in the sky.

We gathered as a family on her birthday, at the cliff paths in our gorgeous little town to lay her ashes- her favourite place to walk.  The moon was so full and shining so brightly over the sea and there wasn't a breath of wind.  We wrote on floating lanterns and set them off into the sky.  Ending with the OM sound and saying her favourite  -" The Great Invocation".  Truly the most incredible ceremony, which left me feeling on a high for a while.

What a wonderful reminder each month of my beautiful mom.

Hamba kakuhle mama wam, siyathanda kakuhle!............go well on your journey my mother, we love you!

NATURAL REMEDIES FOR A VERY ACTIVE CHILD

 My 6 year old son is very active!  He is not really a TV guy and responds well when given chores to do.  He gets really involved in the project at hand and becomes a real delight.  I have discovered that he has a passion for helping me in the garden.  I think too many children are classified as being ADD when really all they are wanting is some positive stimulation.  I also read him a story before bed, do reflexology on his little feet (which he loves) and play some soothing music.

MY EARTH-FRIENDLY CLEANING PRODUCTS

Last week some of the children in my daughter's class was asked to bring cleaners to school to clean their desks, in preparation for the exams.  (My daughter wasn't one of them!)  Of course, all kinds of harmful cleaning products were used.  My daughter who is 14 said she had such a headache and couldn't breathe properly from all the cleaners used.  She told me how lucky she feels to live in a home where we only use environmentally friendly products.

EVER FEEL UNBALANCED AND UNGROUNDED?

Yes, I am a very positive person, but I am human!  Last week, I was feeling very unbalanced and ungrounded.  I called upon a dear friend and expressed my feelings to her.  She told me to get down on my hands and knees and imagine my hands, knees and feet being firmly planted like roots into the earth.  She told me to ask "Mother Earth" to support me. 

I have been doing this for the past week and it is really helping.

DON'T LET THE RECESSION GET YOU DOWN

We all find ourselves surrounded at times by people talking about the recession and how bad the economy is...it is in situations like these that we must pick ourselves up and focus on all the good and blessings in our lives.  This energy will help to raise the good vibrations across our planet.

HOW CUTE IS THIS SAYING?

I am not keen on the use of antibiotics and would only use them on myself and my children in extreme cases.  My 5 year old son clearly knows this and the other day he said to his grandfather "my friend is always sick and he is always on antibiogrophies".  This is just the cutest thing I have heard in ages..
