Laughter

Speaking with my sister, Amy after a couple of particularly challenging days, she came up with this:

"So.... instead of a prayer circle, what you need is a laughter circle :) All the people who love you, holding you in their hearts with joy..."

After seven years of clowning in the hospital I know how healing laughter and lightness can be. Therefore my new idea is to collect funny stuff from you via internet, via mail, via telephone or just remember me with dance in your soul and laughter in your hearts. As one of my said tasks in all this is to ask for help, I appeal to you dear friends and family to take a moment to send something funny, silly, loving laughter. I actually feel absurd asking this and am smiling as I write.

I send it back to you

Summer Solstice

With the summer solstice comes a desire for contact with you via a new post.

I am back at la maison hirondelle in France, living quietly and stepping lightly. I have felt some discouragement as by now I had hoped that I would be heralding good tidings.

I thank you for all the loving support I received after my last post, I felt the energy and believe that through this network of love we can and will heal. The possibilities are unlimited if we step out of our boundaries a little, let go of the small stuff, and recognise the divine. That said, I am still in battle for my health. My body is fortunately very strong and I wake up every morning to the birdsong and light of day with the knowledge that I have been given a gift.

I am meeting with healers and doing a lot of inner work as well as continuing on a diet of whole foods.

I find one of the lessons I must learn is to ask for help. No one knows what I am going through and my stubborn independence is not helpful in a state of ill health. My neighbor has had her own battle with cancer and has been extremely helpful in this. She asked me to knock and ask for any help I might need. Why I find this difficult I don't know.

SO what remains to be said? that whatever happens it is for the best and I am thankful for this opportunity to learn, to explore, to understand my own emotions and how they affect and contribute to my state of well being. Therein lies the choice of viewing illness, pain, sad life events as bad and moan and complain about one's lot in life, or to move forward in loving, trusting, accepting, believing that the result is not as important as the process.

I close with a quote from Albert Einstein

"Nothing is inherently bad or good . Value is how we represent it to ourselves."
