Finding your passion?

Finding your passion.

What does that mean? Do any of us have an idea?

I know I don't. Or rather...I think I do, but it changes and what used to inspire me, suddenly doesn't.

Chinese Whispers

There has been problem with lack of communication at work for many months now.

It bothers the Human Me, as "executive" decisions are made and the bulk of the technicians are not advised. We have an assistant who gets stuck in the middle, implements the decisions, assuming that the rest of us know. The rest of us bumble along wondering what the hell is going on.

Kasbah - Ksar of Ait-Ben-Haddou, Morocco

Ksar of Ait-Ben-Haddou - the ksar, a group of earthen buildings surrounded by high walls, is a traditional pre-Saharan habitat. The houses crowd together within the defensive walls, which are reinforced by corner towers. Ait-Ben-Haddou, in Ouarzazate province, is a striking example of the architecture of southern Morocco.

Telouet Kasbah, Morocco

Telouet is a Kasbah along the former route of the caravans from the Sahara over the Atlas Mountains to Marrakech. It lies at an elevation of 1,800 metres (5,900 ft) and was the seat of the El Glaoui family's power. The palace can still be visited but it is steadily becoming more damaged and is slowly collapsing. In 2010, work was underway to restore the property.^[1]

Flirting with Life

The song Lovefool by the Cardigans has been buzzing around in my head for days.

Cos I've been busy at work, I've not had much time to wonder why. This morning I did a search on YouTube to find the lyrics.

As I was listening and reading, it hit me that this is a message to me from me. The 'old' me talking to the 'new' me.

Energetics of the mind and body

I find myself fascinated by people's minds and their energy. It has always been so.

I am constantly interacting with people day and night, on a 1:1 basis, finding out about their fears, hopes and dreams as I either wire them up for a sleep study, treat them or follow them up in clinic/on the phone. Therefore spending a great deal of time in their presence.

Kasbah - el Glaoui palace, the Taourirt Kasbah - Ouarzazate, Morocco

Ouarzazate (Berber: Warzazat ⵡⴰⵔⵣⴰⵣⴰⵝ; Arabic: ورزازات‎), nicknamed The door of the desert, is a city and capital of Ouarzazate Province in the Souss-Massa-Drâa of southern-central Morocco. Ouarzazate is at an elevation of 1,160 metres (3,810 ft) in the middle of a bare plateau south of the High Atlas Mountains. To the south of the town is the desert.

The town is chiefly inhabited by Berber-speakers, who constructed many of the prominent kasbahs (locally known as: iɣeṛman) and buildings for which the area is known. Ouarzazate is an important holiday destination in Morocco, as a base for excursions across the Draa Valley and into the desert. The fortified village (ksar) of Ait Benhaddou west of the city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The Ouarzazate area is a noted film-making location, with Morocco's biggest studios inviting many international companies to work here. Films such as Lawrence of Arabia (1962), The Living Daylights (1987), The Last Temptation of Christ (1988), The Mummy (1999), Gladiator (2000), Kingdom of Heaven (2005), Kundun (1997), Legionnaire (1998), Hanna (2011), and Salmon Fishing in the Yemen (2011) were shot here, as was part of the TV series Game of Thrones.

Atlas Mountains, Morocco

One day whilst in Marrakech in February this year, we decided to take a guided tour of the Atlas Mountains. Stunningly beautiful scenery. But oh so very cold...and yes that is snow on the mountains.

Our driver was excellent and our tour guide very knowledgeable. Both were very kind caring and generous. We had an excellent time. Nothing was too much trouble.

Out and about in Marrakech, Morocco

Marrakech, Morocco: Riad Dar Meryem

We stayed in the ancient walled city of Marrakech (medina) at a Riad called Dar Meryem.
Riad - "a large traditional house built around a central courtyard, often converted into a hotel."

Our hosts were heartwarmingly kind and generous, nothing was too much trouble...and the food was excellent.

Heart's desire pushing the "not so nice" into our face so we cannot ignore it

Monte Carlo from view point

I was thinking about Fifty Shades last night (haha...as you do!).  I've not read the books or seen the movie as I simply haven't been drawn to do so, therefore I cannot give an informed opinion and...neither do I want to. Each to his/her own.

Is it possible I was looking at this from the wrong angle?

Bam! this morning a new and different perspective hit me.

What if my hubby walk-in wasn't a walk-in and I was?!

That really fluffed my brain. After a confused foggy "What?" I sat down and thought about this "logically".

It's that time of year!

Lol...it's that time of year when we have to give our cats their annual homeopathic nosodes (small white pills that are akin to vaccinations).

Valentine's day anniversary

Today is our 28th anniversary.

We have been on a journey of laughter, happiness, joy, tears, misery but most of all LOVE.

I have an amazing husband who never faults me on anything, accepts me the way I am in any given moment and is patient beyond the realms of sainthood.

Thank you, my lovely beautiful husband.

Footloose!

I don't think I am incorrect to think that the whole world is going through a transformation that transcends anything any of us have ever experienced, throwing us all into disarray.

Again, I am going to reiterate that mostly I've always known where I am going in my life, in a vague way, but nevertheless some sort of structure has been there. It made me feel stable within myself.

Picking up where we left off

This story started in Australia March 2012.
Read the First Ceremony pre- and post the walk-in.

These last two years and a nine months has been a time of "finding our feet", an extremely "interesting" mastering of our energy as well as getting to know each other.

The entity that is Greg needed time to get used to the body with its own personality traits, find his way through the maze of emotions and finally with as much tact and love as is possible (mostly), stamp his authority. I had so much of my own to work through - grief, fear and anger at the loss of a good and loving friend - all those lovely human emotions that simmering away before "popping" to the surface, taking a person by surprise.

Ashdown Forest in Winter

Greg and I have grown to love this area and explore it regularly as it is just down the road from us. This is also Winnie the Pooh country - you will find the Hundred Aker Wood here.

Electric Universe: Birkeland currents & Mer-Ka-Ba science - Drunvalo Melchizedek

Drunvalo Melchizedek - sacred spiritual sex (tantra) and the electric universe

Drunvalo's Flower of Life workshop that I did in 1996 was a pivotal point in my life that brought about much change. But since those days, I've not really paid much attention to his work - I reckon that I got what I needed when I needed it. I came across this on FB and was drawn to listening and WOW am I glad I did. I can so relate to what he is talking about.

Enjoy.

The juicy lubrication of love

Picture taken by Greg

In the days when I was channelling Lighted Loving, they kept advising that we should love ourselves.
Yeah man, I get it.

But on reflection these days...I didn't...really.

We never know what we have until it goes missing!!

I want to know what love is

Sunrise through the trees taken by Greg this past weekend

I woke this morning with this song buzzing around in my head - Foreigner - I want to know what love is.

I know it has nothing to do with externally wanting to have love - I am surrounded by love and loved ones. This is to do with my inner planes. I want to feel the love with-in myself for myself.
