snow!
Wednesday, January 24, 2007
I ambled sleepily to the french windows this morning, tea in hand and pushed back the curtains to find the garden full of snow! Only a few inches, but fresh and beautiful. I wish I hadn't given the camera away, I would take a picture!
Good news, I think I have found a new place, with a lovely friend who I have done shows with, who is a vicar, so I would be living in the vicarage! Big house, lovely dining room and garden, the furniture in the lounge is really really old fashioned but I suppose appropriate for him to meet the old parishioners. Oh and a sheepdog, no cat (!) but a nice sheepdog and I would feel safe with him in the house if alone, I suppose. He is 12, so pretty mellow, maybe I could push for a cat later, I think a cat would revive his youth...

Thanks to reading everyone's spine-chingling pop culture moments at the Roundtable, I finally found the title of my favourite Stevie Wonder song - the chorus has been chasing around in my head on and off for ages. I am going to go out and buy the cd. I just love the lyrics:
Just for two, though you never knew you were my reason
Ive gone much too far for you now to say
That Ive got to throw my castle away
Over dreams, I have picked out a perfect come true
Though you never knew it was of you Ive been dreaming
The sandman has come from too far away
For you to say come back some other day
And though you dont believe that they do
They do come true
For did my dreams
Come true when I looked at you
And maybe too, if you would believe
You too might be
Overjoyed, over loved, over me
Over hearts, I have painfully turned every stone
Just to find, I had found what Ive searched to discover
Ive come much too far for me now to find
The love that Ive sought can never be mine
And though you dont believe that they do
They do come true
For did my dreams
Come true when I looked at you
And maybe too, if you would believe
You too might be
Overjoyed, over loved, over me
And though the odds say improbable
What do they know
For in romance
All true love needs is a chance
And maybe with a chance you will find
You too like i
Overjoyed, over loved, over you, over you

I want to form a women's group. This idea has been at the back of my mind for years now, but really coming forward as I have been reading so many self help books lately. So many people I know have read the books and watched the films and have been inspired. But for how long? I find the words stay with me for a day, a few days perhaps. I have participated in singing workshops, drama workshops, healing workshops, meditation groups, and find that their energetic imprint goes deeper, and longer-lasting. But there is usually a high cost involved. Worth it, once every 6 months or year, but I would love to have this input once a week! Why does one have to be a recovering Alcoholic to get such amazing support? Why have we isolated ourselves so much from our community?
I am going through a challenging time, as you all know. And you all have been amazing, I just wish I could speak with you more often, and in person. The energy of being all together in a group, all committed to self-growth is amazing. So I want to start this conversation. Maybe it is happening on the web somewhere, but if not it should be. Maybe I should found it... like MySpace, but NOT about advertising your band, or dating, or some of the other lovely but different hobbies/common interest groups. Where you could put in your postal code or zip code and find a group in your area to meet and talk on a weekly or fortnightly basis. Basically free, or just money to cover drinks/tea and healthy snacks. And the groups I guess would vary according to that community's/member's needs. But I want my group to be:
- Female only to start, around 10 people, sort of 30's and above.
- Women really 'on the path' of self-growth, pro-actively learning to know and love their true selves with stories to tell about their paths, eg discussing books they are reading and really digesting (doing the exercises and meditations in the books and/or thinking/writing/discussing themes)
- Taking responsibility for their physical health, with a healthy diet,exercise, using holistic and conventional medicine as appropriate
- Willing to listen without judgment, also able to speak one's own truth, look at things positively, also able to be angry or sad but try to recognise when anger and sadness are a healthy release and when it is attention seeking or remaining stuck or control or fear of freedom.
