After a long-time of rushing around and stress, peace and tranquillity is what is needed. It comes as different phases of our lives appear. When I got to 50 I hated being around people, but then again I had been through some major traumatic stuff and needed my brain, emotions and spirit to heal as much as I needed my body to.

I still like my personal space and tranquil places but I do intersperse it with times of meeting up with people and spending time with friends and most of all family.

I had a wonderfully creative and spiritual weekend with some amazingly beautiful people, but I'm so happy to be home and taking time out to recharge my burnt out battery and reconnect with my home, garden and demanding small black furry cat, who still insists I stay up too late, even though the evening might be warm and I would be sitting with the patio door open listening to the night life.

I feel very blessed with my life, even though I haven't travelled the world as much as I would have liked, or had the children I craved for so many years. I have people who are like family, who have taken me into their hearts as I have taken them. I am an unofficial Aunt and almost surrogate mother to some and in truth, if I had children I would not have been able to focus my time and energy on the work I have done, which I understand have changed lives of people for the better. The traumas and pain I have felt have made me appreciate the wonders of life in every small, some would say insignificant, way.

I find unity and connection in your blogs, and am in some ways living life through your joy as much as my own. Love from one cousin to another xx
