Ahh January is here!

Sun, 10 Jan 2010 14:51:41 GMT

Ahh, January is here and this has always been my least favourite month. When I was a little girl, my Mother used to keep me in for most of this month, as she always said I needed to hibernate!
Apparently I would stay in warm and snug and do creative things until my birthday at the end of the month. Then I would leap up, put on my new, gorgeous frock and be ready for my party and for the rest of the year I would be a little dynamo!
I don't actually think that much has changed and if it were at all possible, I would be doing much of the same today!

I looked back at last year's blog and I wrote about creating a mood board. I actually created two, one for health, travel and home and one for my spiritual growth and creativity. I am really surprized how much I have achieved, in ways that I didn't envision at all.
One thing I really wanted was a dedicated workshop, rather than an office, where I could experiment and create. I thought I would have to move or rent somewhere and have been looking for a long time, but it turned out to be right here and the builders managed to finish just before Christmas! It's FAB and I have spent many happy hours sorting and transferring all of my treasured 'stuff' into it. With under floor heating and a great view, I am hoping to spend many happy hours developing ideas and just being, not something I do too well.

I spent the New Year in Tynemouth and it really snowed. On first day of the year, I was having a snowball fight on the beach - amazing!

This last week I have been snowed-in and ill with a chest and throat infection. Looking out of the window at the snow filled garden and knowing that I just can't go anywhere, has done me a power of good and not only am I on the mend but I have had lots of time to think, read and explore possibilities!
Angela phone me and I was telling her about the last Jonnie Walker show on Radio 2 (he has been filling in since Terry Wogan left) and how I love the way he introduces spiritually to his shows and on 'pause for thought' there had been a reference to It Came Upon a Midnight Clear by Edmund Hamilton Sears (1849).

Angela then rang back and sang it to me and I had never realised that it was all about Angels. One line in particular sums up for me what the beginning of the year has been about and I hope that you make time in 2010 to listen to your Angels as well!

"The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the Angels sing"

Tomatoes, Corgettes and Spirituality!

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 21:20:28 GMT

I have to say that I have been very naughty and have not written for a long time.
My summer was much busier than I had intended and I became involved in all sorts of new projects, which although inspiring, left me with very little creative energy.

So with humblest apologies, I will try to make sure that it doesn't happen again.
So what is new? Well this weekend I made my first green tomato chutney, which wasn't quite as straight forward as I thought but very satisfying to see in the jars afterwards!

This is my third year of growing tomatoes and I truly think it is the most amazing experience. When those first shoots poke through and already have the delicious smell of tomato, I get so excited and can never bring myself to throw any of the seedlings away.
The last two years have been a disaster, but I've learnt and this year I grew four different varieties and they have been ripening in this wonderful late autumn sun.
The greens one were made into the chutney and the rest are waiting to be devoured, yummy!
My other success was my courgettes, although my father was unimpressed when he took them home and realised that they weren't cucumbers!

So I hear you saying; after all this time she can only talk about veggie, what is spiritual about that?
Well the great Louise Hay uses tomatoes as a metaphor for spiritual growth and beginning with one tiny seed, that is watered, tendered and given lots of sunshiny, life can grow into a magnificent plant full of fruit.

I was also on a course where we were asked to visualise a seed and then imagine where it was growing and what kind of flower it developed into. Being a florist for so many years, I though that I would come up with something exotic but no, I came up with a courgette flower!!
Of course they are magnificent in their own right, big, bold and bright and this related to your life's work - yellow is for the mind.
So... A picture of my courgette, just to remind you about the spirituality of every living thing.

Don't forget the BSSK Mind, Body and Spirit event at the Monastery in Manchester, Oct. 17th & 18th. I am giving a workshop - details are on the events page.

Visit to Stonehenge

Mon, 04 May 2009 21:45:17 GMT

Last weekend I went to Stonehenge, stopping first at Avebury. I thought the stones there were amazing and held lots of energies, set in a beautiful English setting.

Some of the stones had a gentle, soft energy whilst other had little whirlpools of energy where you could see colours and trails of energies coming from your finger tips.

We walked up onto the mound that surrounds the stone circles and saw a recent crop circle - long and arrow shaped in a rape field. There had been rumours of one appearing and there it was! I have never seen one before, so I was really excited and took lots of shots although it was far away. One excited family drove off in their camper to try and find a better view.

We arrived at Stonehenge at about 5.30 but as we had admission to the inner circle, had to wait until 6.30. I have to say that initially I was very disappointed; I thought it would be much bigger but the atmosphere built up with some of our party drumming and generally energising the stones. At one point people were standing between two particular stones, as it was an energy vortex. I have to confess that I had visions of Star Trek, with Clingons appearing at any moment!

Apparently the stones have been badly neglected and misused over the centuries and now the building of the new road has further eroded the natural energies. I got the distinct impression that these great stones needed healing and love from us and we all did our part in giving our energies.

My reward was some wonderful photos where I took the image facing the sun and it has appeared as a rainbow on the stones and my first orb - a pink one, is in the bottom of the shot. It appeared in several of these photos and in this one you can see the energy around it!

So how good was that? A perfect end to a lovely day with many thanks to Carole from Purpleraze for organising this trip, and to a great crowd of like minded people.

P.S I have also had a couple of trips to the bluebell woods. They are spectacular this year so do hurry, you have probably only got another week left to see them at their best.

Amazing shows, Newark and Elsecar

Sun, 22 Mar 2009 19:56:09 GMT

Newark.
What an amazing show!! It's one of the best we have ever had. As it was the first show of the year I could not believe how many regular customers came to see us as well as all the stallholders, who make the event so special.
It's always strange that one of my Angels changes each time before a show and this time it was Azrael. I was guided to use a special sample piece of ribbon, so it really was a one off. Joanne came and fell in love with him (definitely a male this one) and yet she had been many times to the stand to buy an Angel, but one had never called to her before. Obviously I made this one for her and I truly believe it works that way.

I'm also 'calling all Angels' for a lovely Mum and Daughter (Linda and Lindsey) who came to see me about asking the Angels for a sign as Lindsey had some definite ideas about how she wanted things to work out and it was just not happening!
Remember that sometimes, something bigger and better than we could ever imagine is waiting for us, but it is always in celestial time and not ours and is always worth the wait.
Whenever you are asking for something, always add:
'This or something better, now manifest for my highest good, in the appropriate time frame'

I launched my canvasses at this show and I have used a new technique to make them stronger and dust proof as well as enabling me to use loads more texture.
Emma bought my pink one, which was really exciting and then dear Lesley and her wonderful Mum, Vanessa, bought the large Gabriel for her birthday (which isn't till July!!!) We had so much fun as her Mum threatened to take it home and wrap it up till then!!! Needless to say, I hear it is already in Lesley's healing room!

Now Horror of horrors, another very dear customer, Debbie has gone all pink on me and if you knew her, you would also be slightly surprised by this. Debbie if you remember was working on her positivity and likes to pick a word card but we had sold out. So I wrote some words down (one being a little naughty) and she picked two out and seemed rather pleased so we will watch this space! Oh yes and the pink, well she rather likes tattoos, although you would never know by, and her next one is pink!

It was lovely to see Julie and her friend who were new to the show and we would also like to wish Carrie, Angel love and healing with her forthcoming op. Last but not least I would like to thank Vicky and all her psychic students who cleared the stall and also took part in a lovely evening of reading and healing at the Cockliffe hotel, which Katharine and I really enjoyed.

Elsecar
Another really busy show and Margaret, who only stopped to pick a word card, decided to treat herself to the orange deva canvas. My thanks also to Tracey and Dot and Lisa for being such lovely customers and to Maxine, Jayne and Sue who are so supportive and kind. My thanks also to Karen for all her help on the stall and of course to Katharine and Angela without whose help I could not do these fairs.
I am also sending Angel blessing to Carol, who helps voluntarily at all the BSSK shows, and is waiting to hear if she is going to be made redundant.

Next show is Wollaton Hall and there are new products on the website....xxx

My Birthday and Snow

Tue, 03 Feb 2009 21:34:48 GMT

It was my birthday last week-end and I was spoilt rotten!

I had some wonderful gifts that my friends and family had really put a lot of thought into and I shall always treasure them.
We went out to dinner and my other half (whose birthday is on the same day!) chose a wine called Two Hands Angels Share. There was a lovely explanation on the bottle, which I bought home so that I could share it with you.
Apparently Angel Share refers to the small amount of wine that evaporates from oak barrels and medieval winemakers assumed that Angels watched over the wines and that they took their share!
I must confess that they had very little chance to take any of ours that night!!!

It made me aware though, of how much Angels feature in my life and the creativity that comes from that. I was reading this week, that being creative in any form is a great way of meditating and I think it is very true. By concentrating and enjoying the NOW of doing any kind of activity, from gardening, cooking, sewing to any form of artistic or musical expression is great for resting the mind and soul.

What about the snow?
I saw in one of the papers that they had split the page into two entitled the good and the bad. Now I know it can cause chaos and inconvenience, but I thought that the snow was magical and as I travelled home on Monday, everywhere looked like Narnia. There were snowmen and kids sleighing and many people not being able to resist a snowball or two! I rushed into the garden to take some photos and I would like to share one of these with you.

It always used to snow on my birthday when I was a little girl; in fact it snowed when I was born so it was even more special to me.

Each of the seasons has special Angels so working with them can help us to connect with cycles of nature. Angels of Winter have haloes of snowflakes and shimmering wings and can help with matters relating to the home, savings and improvements (very topical) and letting go of any fears, guilt or bad habits.
White is the colour that gives you space - a moment to reflect and rest before the renewal of spring.

The snowdrops are almost there so it won't be long before I am going on about my walks again. Ah well......!

PS Beware of merry Angels x

An Angelic New Year

Wed, 07 Jan 2009 15:19:23 GMT

Well, we are really into the New Year now and although I had a very hectic Christmas, the run up to New Year was much quieter, with a trip up to Tynemouth and long walks on the beach - cold but wonderful. New Years Eve was even quieter and I ended up going to bed at 11.00!!

I decided to look through my journal that I have been writing all year. I had written about these key areas of my life - health and body, relationships, home, work, creative expression, travel and adventure, possessions, spiritual and how I wanted to improve and develop them.

As I read, I realised that I had achieved some of these things but not as many as I would have liked so I have made these my resolutions and turned them into mood boards with affirmations, Angels and words. I have been wanting to do this all year and had been collecting pictures, ideas etc for ages.
It took me 3 days but I really enjoyed it and was like a woman possessed. I have them hanging up where I can see them all the time and it has helped clarify my aims and ambitions.

A simple mood board , is really easy to get started - just collect lots of pictures, words, symbols etc. of things that you feel you would like to have in your life. Then arrange them on a board and hang or place where you can see it.
I am going to organise a course to do a more complex version, so if you are interested, please email me at sharon@naturesworkshop.co.uk . Angela and I used to do this when we first started and everyone really enjoyed them.

Talking of Angela, she has written a new poem that I thought you might like to read. So that's all for now and I would like to wish you all a fabulous 2009 xx

An Angelic New Year

Ring out the bells
to greet the New Year.
May the angels be with you
releasing all fear.
Welcome the new
say farewell to the old
enter this year feeling
cool, brave & bold.
Remember the good times
leave behind the bad,
this is not the time
for your heart to be sad.
Let laughter and love
now fill your life,
the angels are here
so let go of all strife.
Ring out the bells
to greet the New Year,
the angels surround you
with comfort and cheer.
Feel the warmth of their wings
holding you tight,
loving, caring and full of light.
Ring out the bells
to greet the New Year,
your life will be bright
the angels are near. A.G.

Christmas message

Mon, 22 Dec 2008 22:06:50 GMT

Well it's almost here, but despite being really well organised (I started shopping weeks ago), I have been really stressed. Today I have to admit I have been in the foulest mood and have tried to fall out with everyone I know!!

I tried to look at this from a spiritual point of view and remain calm, focused and full of gratitude BUT what I really found worked was having a whisky in my coffee, putting on a really sad CD and having a good cry and rant!!!

This time of year can bring its share of sadness, as well as the happy expectations of a child and it's a time when memories of loved ones are so vivid that in almost everything you do, you share a special memory.

There are also the disappointments along with the surprises and a feeling that you are doing everything that everyone else wants to do. Remember to cherish yourself a little this year, and even put a gift from yourself under the tree!

Sonia Choquette said this in her newsletter:

"It's creative and fun to make plans, to set intentions, and to look forward to things. But it is also important to be OK with whatever unfolds, go with the flow, and recognize all the blessings and accept all the gifts life brings about no matter what."

So with all this wisdom in mind, have a very merry Christmas, full of Angel blessings and when the going get tough - get out the whisky or the sherry or....xxx

Gossip from Lincoln

Sun, 16 Nov 2008 18:07:39 GMT

I always love this show, as not only do I have the chance to meet up with the all the stallholders but also with lots of my favourite customers.
Katharine was poorly; in fact she is in hospital so please send her lots of healing and hopefully she will be out soon. I've just been talking to her and she is going slightly stir crazy, in between visualising and calling in the boys ( as she calls the Archangels)
Philippa, a wonderful healer and friend has been sending her healing and asked the Angels to be with her and was told in no uncertain terms that they already are! So just send lots of love and good thoughts for Katharine's recovery and we will soon have her back on her feet.

On the Sunday it was really busy and my dear customers, Maxine and Jane, who are now lovely friends, helped me out on the stand and also let me go to listen to Lucinda Drayton of Bliss, who sang songs from her new album 'The Mirror' and then finished off with 'A Hundred Thousand Angels', one of my favourites. It was indeed Bliss and if you haven't heard her music go to the website:
http://www.blissfulmusic.com/ where you can listen to extracts - you'll be hooked.

So now for the gos!!

Debbie had me in fits of laughter over her attempts to become more positive (she had picked that Angel Word Card at the last show). Debbie has everyone at work trying to look on the positive side of life and as she works in a busy hospital, they all need to keep their spirits up. I have to say, she looked great and the word this time was peace.

Jules came to say hello and she came to one of my talks a couple of years ago. Since then she has trained in Reiki and is hoping to develop her skills and is growing in confidence all the time.

I had a wonderful talk to Anne, who like me is a huge Hay House Radio fan and we were so excited about some of the programmes and I must admit I can't believe that everyone isn't listening, so do tune in, it's fabulous!
http://www.hayhouseradio.com/

We had lots of synchronicity with the word cards and Angel scrolls, it is amazing how accurate they are. Why not have a go?

Well I think that is all for now
Love, Light and Angel Blessings

Swimming the Channel!

Thu, 30 Oct 2008 21:48:51 GMT

One of my New Year's resolutions was to get fitter and I saw this challenge at my local gym:

The Aspire Channel Swim.
This seemed such a good idea when I first saw the leaflet. How hard could it be? (it even said this on the leaflet) - 22 miles in 12 weeks, which in my pool is 1416 lengths!

After a difficult start, I have now completed 580 lengths and feel that it is achievable and this is where you come in!
Aspire works with people with spinal cord injuries, providing practical solutions to help them live independently, so I was wondering if anyone would like to sponsor me.

I have a web page on the Aspire site so that you can read all about my exploits during this marathon and also pay your donations on this page. It doesn't matter how small, I will be very grateful that you have shown your support.
http://www.justgiving.com/sharondewick

I am also very busy making Angels for a show, that I have been invited to do at the last minute. It is taking place at the East Midlands Conference Centre in the University of Nottingham NG7 2RJ, so it is very easy to find and there is parking.
Spirit of Life Events is running this Festival of Fire, with over 100 stalls and talks and entertainment to feed the spiritual soul. I am really looking forward to it.
The show is on Saturday 1st - Sunday 2nd November 10.30 -5.00 and costs �4.00.

As I haven't done a show for some time, I have really enjoyed getting creative (it's my happy place) so there should be a super selection of Angels and gifts for Christmas.
Well I can't stay and chat as I have some half-dressed Angels to finish.....

Hope to see you there x

Gossip from Newark

Fri, 19 Sep 2008 21:15:34 GMT

Although I was only at Newark for one day, I had a great time and it was lovely to see so many friends. I really love the stories you all tell me about your experiences, angelic or otherwise.

Thank-you to all of those who came to my talk on GRATITUDE! It was so good that all of you were willing to join in with the activities and even the singing, so there will be no stopping me now!

After the talk, Paul and Jackie came to the stand to talk about various aspects of the talk. Jackie decided to pick an Angel card and guess what she got - Gratitude!! It did make us laugh but it also reminds us that when you are open and focusing on a quality, it shows up in your life in many ways and this confirms that you are on the right path.

So don't forget to be open and look for signs and messages from the Angelic Realms.

Maxine, Jayne and Sue kept me company and looked after the stand to let me have one of those delicious lunches they serve at Newark. You guys are so great and it is always a pleasure to see you at the shows.

My thanks also to Carol who looks after the stand when I am giving my talk and loves advising and helping customers with their Angel choice.

So a couple of final thoughts...

"Feeling grateful or appreciative of someone or something in your life actually attracts more of the things that you appreciate and value into your life."

Christiane Northrup

I just love this! The Gratitude Dance by the Gratidudes - I have put a link on to their web site and you must watch these two short videos - it will make you laugh out loud!

Matthew Ashdown and Brad Morris, the GratiDudes, first appeared on the world stage on August 22^nd, 2007, when the Gratitude Dance they created was launched on YouTube.com. The Gratidudes live a life that they have created through embracing an attitude of gratitude towards all that they have manifested, and they share with others how to harness the power of gratitude to Manifest Awesomeness in their lives too. Gratitude is a powerful vibration and virtue and if you have not experienced its power then spend a little time with the Gratidudes.

Devon, Scillies, Wales

Tue, 12 Aug 2008 12:12:41 GMT

Well I am back from my trip to Devon, Cornwall, Scillies and Wales!
I had a wonderful time and gorgeous weather, and despite walking miles, sailing and even taking a sea dip, I have managed to put on half a stone!
I was blown away by some of the scenery and flowers - in fact I was in Heaven. The Agapanthus growing wild in the sand dunes on the Scilly Isles was so unexpected that I couldn't believe it and I could hardly take photographs quickly enough, before another vista opened up in front of me.
In Wales, I saw Sea Holly growing for the first time and Sea Lavender stretching as far as the eye could see upon the salt marshes, on an amazing walk through the dunes, Pine forests and woodland. The air by the coast is so invigorating and sleep inducing and is wonderful for cleansing the aura.

The colour healing workshop that I went on, was so good that I stayed an extra two days to do the teacher training course. The course involved the use of colour keys, flowers, meditations and energies. I am really excited about this and along with the 'I Can Do It' experience in Vegas; I feel I can bring a new dimension to my workshops and talks, the first of which is at Newark
I am in the process of planning a series of workshops for 2009 and details will be on the website in the Autumn.
So get ready to move those hips and sing along as well as experiencing the magical world of nature, colour and Angels.

So I will leave you with this thought:
An elderly Welsh man, who was a member of a very famous Male Voice Choir, said to me "LOVE is a Bloody big thing" in a fine Welsh lilt as he drew a large circle with his arms as if to envelop everything and everybody!

Vegas!

Mon, 14 Jul 2008 21:55:24 GMT

Well I don't know where to start! I have just come back from the 'I Can Do It' conference, which was really an amazing experience. I think the thing that struck me most was how professional, passionate and truly inspirational, all the speakers were. I am hoping to include some of the techniques into my own workshops and talks and so if we suddenly start singing, moving and having lots of fun, blame it on Vegas!
I loved Vegas and everyone should go, as you can't actually imagine it until you have been. An adult's Disney World!

I wrote this on the plane on the way home:
'A spiritual journey starting in the most unspiritual of places, an oasis in the desert of both life and Nevada'

I am also off on another course very soon, to develop my colour knowledge and to bring in my 21 years of floristry and love of nature by expanding my knowledge of Scent, Colour and Flower readings.

I am also going to spend some time by the coast, as the sea has always been a huge inspiration to me and I adore walking barefoot along the shore with the waves lapping beneath my feet.

After that....well I need to knuckle down and do some work!

A little late!

Wed, 25 Jun 2008 09:04:58 GMT

A little late posting this one, but I have been really busy and am just about to jet off to Las Vegas to the 'I can do it' conference. I am so excited as I have really felt the need to go on some courses and have some me time and as I am not doing any shows this summer, decided to grab the opportunity to go (lots of synchronicity at work). I have booked into lots of workshops so hope to come back full of inspiration, which of course I will pass on to you. I am also doing a flower/colour-healing course in Devon later, which I hope I will be able to use in conjunction with my Angels.

I am also going to get very creative this summer and I have a couple of projects in mind, so I can hardly wait!

I know I said that I wouldn't talk about any more walks, but there is one I need to mention. Katharine and I went to see the most amazing poppy field, took along a couple of chairs and just sat and chatted, photographed and breathe in the amazing colour, interspersed with cornflowers and wild roses and daisies in the hedgerows.
I'm providing a link to this one, but you will have to hurry to see it at it's best but it is well worth the effort.
http://www.naturescape.co.uk/

So I am going to sign off now and resume my packing and I will tell you all of the news in the next blog and I will leave you with this (it was for sale at the Wild Flower Farm)

Dear Angels - so far today I've done OK
I haven't gossiped or lost my temper.
I haven't been grumpy, nasty or selfish,
But in a few minutes I'm going to get out of bed,
And that's when I'm going to need all the help I can get!

Keep asking those Angels......

Gossip from Barnsley, Mind Body Spirit Show

Tue, 27 May 2008 10:11:31 GMT

I have never done this particular show before and the hall was a good size with a tented ceiling and a varied selection of stands bringing together old friends and new. I was in-between the hydro therapy stand and the foot spa lady, where the water from some of those feet was so disgusting (it wasn't the feet but the release of heavy metals and toxins from the body) that it was enough to make you want to detox forever! I also had the lovely reflexology ladies opposite as well as the Iridology ladies behind.

So on to the gossip - Annmarie came to show me her beautiful photos of the bluebell wood she had felt compelled to visit after reading my blog. Thank-you for coming on to the site and paying attention and for taking the time to show me the pictures!

I also sold my first canvas to Kath and Jim, who apart from being very good customers are really the most lovely couple and they are sharing the Angels with their family and friends- thank you.
Their friends are Ann and Toren, who have also become customers. Ann is an extremely brave lady who has recovered from 3 bouts of cancer and looks amazingly fit, healthy and happy. Toren, her husband is developing his Reiki skills and is going to be doing some voluntary work at a hospice - fantastic.

My thanks to Karen for helping me this weekend and letting me stay with her and Chris and even getting 'pack-up' for both days!!! Karen is a very gifted healer and she works with parents and children who have problems attending school. She has set up a crystal workshop at lunchtimes for these kids, who as you can imagine, love it! More schools need to do this.

So where was Katharine? Well my dear friend is still recovering from a recent stay in hospital as she has been in a lot of pain. For those of you that don't know, Katharine, who helps me at shows and makes all the beautiful cards, bookmarks, beadlings etc., has a rare form of cancer, but she is one tough cookie and along with her Angels is holding her own. When she first become ill, she chose a Gabriel to go into hospital with her and he has never been far from her side (although he is extremely bedraggled!) So for anyone reading this, please send healing and light to Katharine to give her the boost she needs.

With this in mind and a need to have time to be creative and develop my range, I am having the summer off from shows. Lincoln will be my last one until the autumn but you can buy online and keep in touch via the blog and the newsletter.

Bluebells

Wed, 07 May 2008 14:55:29 GMT

I have just been for an amazing walk in a bluebell wood, which I really wanted to share, but I promise after this entry, I will stop harping on about woodland walks.

I have never seen such a spectacular display of bluebells and I was completely surrounded by the most amazing scent and every hue of blue imaginable.

Their colour brings a sense of calm, serenity and security.
People who were out walking, just stood there transfixed as they obviously didn't realise they were there - It was just so beautiful.

A week earlier I had been in the wood checking on the bluebells, when I saw a sea of white along a windy path. When I went to investigate I saw a mass of wood anemones, something I had never seen before and it was a truly magical experience.

The plant is named from the Greek legend in which Anemos, the wind, sends his namesakes the anemones, in the earliest spring days, as heralds of his coming: hence its other common name of 'windflower'.

So it's not too late to get out into your nearest bluebell wood this week-end and see Mother Nature at her best!

Gossip from Alfreton, Mind Body Spirit Show

Wed, 30 Apr 2008 21:13:28 GMT

It was a lovely show at the week-end and it was great to meet so many new customers as well as friends and I was thrilled that so many people came to my talk.

That morning, even though I had been to a wine tasting the night before, I was up and awake at six! I felt totally inspired and proceeded to rewrite the talk that I had originally planned and the theme was very elemental with a tree meditation.

I love trees and their bark and often like to feel their energies. If you would like to try this, just hold your hand a few inches away and see if you can feel a tingle. From this you can often gently bounce the energy but also be aware of the texture of the trunk and bark and try to imagine and feel the strength of this tree.

You may well get an insight from this or just a feeling as well as a few funny looks from other people!!

One of the ladies at my talk came up to me afterwards to say that she too, had been up really early and looked out of her hotel window and saw this amazing tree that had a very unusual shape. She felt compelled to take a photograph and showed it to me. She was therefore suprized to discover that I had based my talk aound this!

Another lovely lady also came to me to say that she had also got up very early that morning with a very strong feeling to come and give me a message, which was in the form of a book called 'God Calling' and she also bought a copy for Angela, who writes the beautiful poems on the site.
Thank-you Maggie for such a lovely thought.

Two customers, Karen and Lynn came onto the stand and told me the following story.

At the last show they had both been to my stand and Karen had bought Archangel Anael and Lynn, who had really wanted Archangel Raphael was a little unsure of the whole Angel bit and so I gave her a Raphael bookmark.They also took a pack each that I had made up with a newsletter and an Angel word inside. Both of them forgot about the Angel word until later that night and when they opened them, Karen had Anael and Lynn had healing!!

Thrilled by this, Lynn rushed to the stand, held Raphael to check the energies and was just about to buy him (definately a male) when a bright red Angel, Sammael, caught her eye and she decided that this had to be the one! Lynn was starting to learn Reiki and so this was a perfect Angel to get her moving and get on with the course. When she has completed her training, Raphael will assist her with her healing.
Good luck Lynn and thanks to you both for such a good giggle!

When you pick an Angel card, it is always the right card for you at that moment and it doesn't matter what pack you use. It's a great way for the Angels to give you messages.
Don't forget to try my free Angel card readings and do email me if you have a story.

I have just sent out the Spring Newsletter so I thought I would put an extract on the Blog so that you can read the sort of things that I include in each of the issues.

If you would like to recieve the newsletter please register with this link.

Well, Spring is truly here now and there has been the most amazing display of daffodils, which I have been photographing at every opportunity.
Daffodils represent this time of year - a time for new ideas and plans. The golden vibrations of this flower help with communication, creativity and optimism.

This is a great time to clear away the old and 'spring clean' areas of your life, leaving room for wonderful new ideas and inspiration. If you don't know where to start, do something small such as sorting out a drawer or the papers on your desk.
Call in the Angel of Release to help to de-clutter your life and to bring about peace and clarity.

The Angel of Spring is Archangel Raphael. The words associated with this Archangel are:
Healing, Communication, Knowledge and Vision.

This Angel encourages you to communicate and share you inner wisdom to heal with thoughts, words and creativity and you should call on this Angel if you are doing group work or wishing to exchange knowledge and ideas.

Welcome to my Blog!

Well I was just sitting here at my computer when my web guy emailed to say the Blog was up and running! Being very new to this I am hoping that this will be a way of sharing all the lovely Angel stories that I hear, as well as my own struggle along the way and that of my dear friends. As spiritual growth seems to be hampered by everyday life, I will try and share my own experiences and growth, inspirational teachings and hopefully some little gems of wisdom with the odd poem thrown in!
