Not a day goes by without me thinking of her
- Miss Robyn
- here I am in a little cottage that evokes the energies of my ancestral lands - a cottage on the moors of Cornwall, or on the cliff tops of Ireland or Scotland. It has a hearth. I am a hedge witch {of sorts}. I wear upcycled clothes, patchouli oil and Redback boots. I am a gypsy; an eccentric and a mystic [I often live with a foot in two worlds]. I serve my guests, tea from an old silver teapot. I love Vervain, yarrow, chamomile & mint. Star watcher and Moon gazer. story cloth weaver. keeper of family dreams and wishes. good friend and creator of life. herbal tea drinker and potion maker.

that's me in the spotlight...
I must say. that I am absolutely loving the Vivienne McMaster workshop - You are Your Own Muse. I am still finding it difficult to see myself in photos and I am very critical. it is getting easier to play to the camera though!
this week.. 'taking a soundtrack of my life right now & creating a CD cover..'
I woke early this morning and wanted to take a snap of how i looked.. old pjams and all. hair not done.. hugging myself.. loving myself.. the song by R.E.M came into my mind when I saw this photo... yes, it has been doctored a little in PicniK... but fun !!
..."so you look into the land and it will tell you a story" - Great Southern Land by IceHouse
this afternoon, I took myself up to Olympian Rock lookout. it was freezing and blowing a gale and quite difficult to take self portraits.. but this one shows that I live in a beautiful, sacred place. I do believe this place is on a Ley Line connected to Glastonbury.... do you like my new beanie?
tomorrow, Joe and I are off on a little bike ride. for the weekend. - out west - to a town called Dubbo.. visiting a Zoo where we can ride pushbikes around ... midwinter here and expecting snow somewhere... brrrr..

what have I been up to?
what the soul is,
and where hidden,
and what shape.
Though I play at the edges of knowing,
truly I know
our part is not knowing,
but looking, and touching, and loving
words by Mary Oliver
I have been cooking alot. experimenting with lots of spices. eating lots of vegies and fruit.
creating smoothies made with
rice milk
cinnamon and honey
yoghurt
a banana
hemp oil & flaxseed oil [stone ground of course]
spirulina & chia seeds.
and taking lots of photos..... [I find it dreadfully difficult, near impossible, to take and display photos of myself. I am learning how to love myself. how to not be so critical of this body.. loving and accepting and yes, honouring, all the things that I see as flaws. all the silly things.. like the crinkly neck, crooked teeth, dark circles under my eyes.. these all make up the person who is ME. I am learning to love me.]
