Good Afternoon,

It is cloudy here today. Yesterday we had thunder! My head is all snoozy but I have been listening to Harry Potter audio books and so the gentle activities with plenty of rest helps. Just briefly today as energy has mainly been spent on 1. my book 2. working on healing boxes charity being officially set up 3. managing being ill / pain/ day to day living etc. More news on 1 and 2 when I have it!

I made lovely soul journal cards. It was very peaceful and enjoyable. These are just cards they have not grown into part of a deck yet. I am enjoying working right now with just the images and my changing relationship, associations and enjoyment of them and what they express. I usually work mainly with words even on vision cards and boards etc I have words with my pictures or associated journalling and stories so this is new for me and I am exploring it.

Here are the cards!

They are quite rough but I do the best I can rather than holding off for a perfection I may never achieve as it may not be real. I enjoyed making them and I like looking at them now

Holiday pictures:

We went to Symonds Yat Rock and saw peregrine falcons and a buzzard soaring

We had a lovely tent in the forest

We rested under the trees and had gentle adapted yoga with the sunset, blissful

under the copper beeches…..

amazing sunsets, no hills like in wales so such big skies and skyscape views! 

sweet bertie dog

We went to the fab scultpure trail. http://www.forestofdean-sculpture.org.uk/

There were some problems, they said it was wheelchair accessable and we found it truly wasn’t. So they kindly drove us around it and are changing the website and leaflets. It may be suitable for powerchairs but not for me! I hope it is made truly accessable one day soon….

this lovely lady from the forestry commission Judith took us around

these are carved railroad sleepers…

I love this one, a hugs fir cone and cup sculpture. there are sculptures scattered through the forest, some are not marked on the map, secret ones people just come across…

This sculpture is an echo of the old stone quarry behind it. Some of the pictures are far away as they were taken from the car, I wasn’t well enough to get out of the car for them all and not all there accessable anyway, we got to see lots of them though.

This is my favorite! The Cathedral! A huge stained glass window showing scenes from the Forest. Its just in the middle of the trees. Magical

this picture is for scale. that is linus and bertie underneath! even we didn’t realise how big it was before we saw this photo, the scale is lost in the scale of the forest but wow it is massive and gorgeous

and on the way home I painted a vase at Taurus Crafts. It arrived in the post today after being fired and glazed. Tommorrow a friend is coming over to help me and I am looking forward to her picking some flowers to go in it from the hedge next to our house, I think some honeysuckle would be beautiful there!

It was a fabulous holiday, I can’t say that some of the illness/ pain/ access disabilitty stuff wasn’t tough and challening as it was but we loved it. An amazing time, living a dream of sleeping in the woods, relaxing and returning to a de cluttered home ( see http://basicmissions.com/?page_id=206 appreciate and be free)

We are looking forward to going again and resting lots to recover from this trip

Tons of love and thanks for reading, see you soon and over at basicmissions.com

all love, Grace and Linus xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hello to lovely you there,

Wonderful blogging fun, writing energy has been going towards my page on the wonderful www.basicmissions.com. Please visit my page ‘Grace’ there for info and inspiration on dressing for success when healing, appreciating all the healing good in your life…forget ‘To-Do Lists’, terribly old hat, it is all about ‘Done’ lists now! Also manifesting and a meditation written by the wonderful Linus, my darling true love.

Also we have been on holiday! Yes, first holiday in 8 years, it was wonderful. I can’t say that the accessability/ illness issues were tough at times. Although it was just nice to rest and to well, as I am ill it is nice to have a new view to look at and new surroundings during it…hope that makes some sense!  Holiday pictures will be posted soon…

I am excitedly taking part in the SoulCollage® Blog Party at True North Arts.
