A short time ago I decided to challenge myself. That original challenge was of blogging every other day, and today I was unsure if I would make it or not, but here I am, better late than not at all, I hope.
For those who follow me, and those who may, I have been plagued by a migraine for a wee while. They are not so unusual I’m afraid, they come with a little too much frequency for my peace of mind. It’s not an excuse, however, the weather plays a part in my migraines, as well as stress, and we are all subject to both.

This blog, which I have changed the focus of just slightly, is my ‘weapon’ to combat those all too frequent days when I find it hard to find the energy or motivation to move beyond a minimum. I’ve realised that, despite what I may have thought originally, everything we do has an element of spirituality in it. The reason why is simple. I am motivated by my heart. I believe we all are. So, my blog is now about Life, Love, Spirituality and the Odd Catastrophe. Not much of a change and yet a huge one.
My blog will try to remain heart centered, and before it happens, I will also say that I can fall flat on my face at times. That’s so that when I seem to be off track you will all know I am simply human and whilst I may seem negative, it is all part of who I am as a total human being. I am BEing a spirit in human form.

So today I have a new challenge, one I’ve been putting off for some time. Since my car accident I have been unable to do my tapestry or craft work as it played havoc with my neck and hence my headaches. I’ve been promising myself I would get back into it and it was still packaged away where I had put it, untouched and safely out of mind. So you see, in one way or another it’s easy to put off so many things. That way, when Mum passed away and I inherited all her craft materials I carefully packed everything away for the future.
That wonderful challenge, was to make something from nothing, but that is not what I’m doing. I’m BEing heart centered and I will complete the last tapestry my mother ever began. It is beautiful and I am including those pictures here. It’s not going to be easy but I am so full of gratitude that I have been motivated to at least try, I really could cry.
I am also going to finish the Princess I started so long ago.
So, to Nicole Cody who has inspired me to get back into my much-loved craft work, thank you. It may not be new, or from nothing, although there is little done on Mum’s tapestry, but it is momentous for me.
