Whitsand Meditation

I've been going to Whitsand Beach a lot lately...its close to home so I dont have to drive far and I do love it there.
Its a long walk from one end of the beach to the other and the hike back up the cliff is pretty strenuous, so that makes me feel I've achieved something. Its peaceful and I can clear my head....I usually go into a meditative kind of space when I'm there..its just that kind of place.

Two beaches down two very steep paths.....there was nothing of interest to photograph! The highlight of my afternoon was a much needed cup of tea at the Cafe!

'Oneness' 17th/18th July 2010

Its Oneness Weekend...I ask that you spread a little peace and light on the World. You dont have to do much....just close your eyes and imagine that you are standing on top of the world shinning a bright light on to it. If enough of us do this then you never know we might lift the vibrations and create a better place for us all to live in.

Yes, I know I'm an idealist but hey...someone has to be! But  I do believe that together we can make a difference.

Thank You

Archangel Gabriel says.....you only attract what is in your conciousness. So think on.... :)

A Little Bit of Wisdom

I decided that the 'problems' were not going to be 'problems' any longer. I sat quietly and emptied my head of all thoughts and then I let them go.

Since I have done this I feel much stronger. Allowing myself to rise above the negative influences of others has been cathartic. I have had to remind myself that I am a 'Free Spirit,' that my life is just that...MY LIFE. I live with my own concience, I know what is right or wrong for me and for my children. I am reponsible for my life. 'to err is to be human' I cant remember who said that but its true. None of us is perfect though some people want to believe that they are.  I have made lots of mistakes over the years, bad choices, wrong decisions, bad realationships, allowed myself to be vulnerable.... but I have learned from all that and I have come too far in my life to allow others to knock me back again.

An Ending

Today was the last day of college for this Academic Year. I have mixed feelings...I'm really happy because I was given my highest grade of the year for my final project 'Connections'.....but I am also feeling 'flat'.....it has been a wonderful year full of opportunities, hard work, inspiration, encouragment and the joy of learning.....everything I had hoped it would be. I guess its not surprising that I feel a little low....I will miss everything about the college..the people...the ambience...the learning...the art....but I also have to admit that I am glad of a break. I need to re-charge my batteries...have some fun...and a change of pace.

Having said that though, I am not resting on my laurels.....I have already given myself a goal....I have decided to expand my 'Connections' project and make it into a 'Photographic/Story Book. I've already started writing and have much more to do. It is to be a book of photos mirroring the emotions of my journey. I have much to think about but I am enjoying the process...I'm excited about it!

I have, for a long time, wanted to do this but never before had an idea for the content.

My book will be a continuation of my Lockerbie journey. The following are the images from my final project, exhibited at Plymouth Art College

These eight images are dedicated to the memory of my friend Yvonne Owen, her baby daughter Bryony, and the 268 lives taken with them on 21st December 1988 at Lockerbie.
They are also my way of Thanking the people of Lockerbie for creating a place of beauty out of devastation, peace from turmoil and serenity from chaos.

So with a little determination and some more hard work

I hope that my very first book will be available in the not too distant future.
