Monday 30th.

What say you? Is it truth do we choose drama and trauma? 
Do we choose to have this human experience? What else is possible if we do choose?

I will write 30blogs to see what changes happen within me as I walk through a mantra.

Are we nuturing, creative, beings? What creative energy can I be that will allow me earn a living creatively.

Hi – Welcome to Sunday 29^th April.
Just for today .... be grateful for the blessing of breath
Asthma teaches one to be so grateful for a “normal” breath

What would it take to have normal breath, well it takes, concentration and practise. Sound familiar?

Out of adversity and we’ve all had adversity, in differing degrees perhaps, yet is it the same for each? How can we tell?

Rape, teaches one to become either a victim or better aware and stronger at defence.
Being cheated on, teaches one to become either a victim or  to be more aware of the partners discussions with others.

Violence as a child, leaves serious scars as an adult. How would it be possible for this never to happen again?

Just for today ... Love the one who’s there in the room. They may not do everything you expect, yet they are there. Being alone, teaches the joy of friendship and loving.

Once upon a time there was a beautiful girl, her father hurt her and her mother drank to heal from the guilt. The beautiful girl was never seen again as the darkness filled her and she began to drink to hide her pain. One day the girl grew up and had a child of her own. The child of the beautiful girl grew up and hated what she saw in the mirror. How can we change this from happening?

Hi from Essence of Helen.
I'd really like to recieve your input on my blog ....

Today 28th April - Saturday. We vote for local council today.

Personally I've always believed in give and receive and I have endeavoured to live my life at least for the adult part of it with a consciousness of .... "in the giving there is ALWAYS receiving"

 

Way too often we're into negativity and blame ... particularly of ourselves and those we love

... Why is this happening to me (blame and negative)

... Why are you being .... (blame and negative)

It’s not anyone’s fault (no blame - no judgement, that's negative) ... it’s just the way things have been for many years .... often learned behaviour ...... Because we’re human we pass it on.

There’s a shift in this consciousness happening all over the world.

Positive thought creates positive action.

The universe has answers that are way beyond our current thoughts or beliefs

 

Try more open questions  to receive more open answers.

What would it take so this experience works out way better than I can imagine?

What would it take this "situation" work out way better than I can imagine?

How do I uncreate and destroy these thought limitations placed on this situation ?

 

Do you want things to change for the better or are you addicted to negativity and blame?

Yes ... the it takes effort on your part to change.

 

As always it's a choice. no blame. life experience is just that. choice and consequence

Hi - Welcome to Friday 27th - as usual for me I'm awake and writing. I've been working on a book for a couple of years. It is nearly finished. At the beginning I had no idea the journey would take so long, however like all things one can not predict the outcome until it arrives. Today I would share with you a peom I wrote in January 2012.

Essence of Helen – Jan 2012

... Droplet in the sun

The rain drops fell heavily within the mist of time and space unknown

Watching them fall through magical lights they seemed to come alive to these eyes

Down and down they came and what I felt was balance and harmony remain

I drew in my breath slowly with determination to understand what it meant to feel right

They all seems to stop mid air to me and look one directly deep within my being

Within this visionary space there were many fragmented moments of gentleness

Deepening my internal breaths slowing my thoughts keeping my knowledge of kindness

I remained still breathing deeply caught in each droplet as if it was part of who I am

They brought a gift a presence a moment of the deep peace we all seem to search for

While I stood and remained my gratitude for life replenished by each droplet

Did you ever question the purpose for life your reason for being on this planet

I have questioned I have felt unwanted I have felt of no value and I known unworthiness

There standing I watch the rain for what seemed no time at all yet others passed before me

When had it come to be that I had felt so invisible to those that were before

Dare I change dare I grasp the droplet dare I reach out to these freely given gifts

I held out my hand and felt peace deep within I walked forward and was drowned by rain

Then wet and empty of pain I stopped and looked beyond to a tree that had stood before me

Where had it come from it had not been there before           Do trees just appear

Destiny before me I realised it had always been I was just too clouded for it to be revealed

I had journeyed through the darkness through the fire through the hate and now I stood wet & clean

The flames had been extinguished the pain had been replaced with kindness

Why had it taken so long for this to occur         Where were these gifts before this moment

Don’t you know little one, they were always there   it was your journey yours alone to find them

I realised like lightning crashing the ground it was me it was my life and me    the tree

Then suddenly I noticed the droplets upon the leaves of this great tree

Where there had been darkness and scars from the fire there was now light and great gentleness

Darkness had diminished external light shed it’s rays and even the scars looked good looked softer

I watched the sun through the droplets and noticed the rainbow of colour it caught

The sphere of each small wet drop was perfect and beautiful and as they should be

Why had it taken all this time I watched and the answer came the droplet shed a light on me

Dark fills one until one has journeyed to kindness the road unsteady until one finds their own truth

I understood the meaning and for the first time I realised I was also the precious droplet in the sun.

Hi. I didn't post yesterday as a mark of respect for the men and women that enabled us to have. I personally am grateful to each one. Thank you.

Today 26th April.  .. I share ....
My aunt, my mother's younger sister ... I simply called her Aunty.
She was diagnosed with lymphatic cancer in 2005 and her prognosis was not good, 6 months at best, they said. It was suggested to her by one who loved her to eat fresh food and take 1/4 teaspoon of Manuka honey every day. Aunty did not like honey, yet, she took it as suggested, face squinched every day. This, along with her very positive attitued enabled her 5 great healthy years. On her transition bed and I call it that as, in my opinion, she simply left this realm. I was there standing beside her, my hands on her body to reasure her through touch, she was loved, we those of us that loved her and stood at her side, gave her permission to leave. "It's ok ... you may go now ... so you no longer have pain". It was 1pm in the afternoon, it was a fine sunny day outside. The room went dark as if a light was turned off, her breath went from her body and Aunty shrunk just a little. That moment a beautiful white teardrop light about the size of a new baby simply left the room.

From Essence of Helen
I feel honoured to have known her, and, blessed to have been part of her transition.

Just for today ... love the ones you can
Just for today ... kiss one more kiss
Just for today ... ask "What else is possible"
Orange hybiscus blooming in the garden as I write.     .... How does it get better than that?

Hi. Day 2 at Blogging.
What would it take to know I'm getting it right here?

Currently thinking outside the square. ... Thoughts ... on doing a video recording of stories that have been written by me, or comments heard, or items of interest to me.

What else is possible? What process is required to enable this to actually take place?

... I'm not "normal" and it's a good thing ... Introducing myself means to me taking a good look at what's going on inside my head and heart ... taking a step back and a moment to reflect if it's of interest to others and if yes ... passing it on.

At this moment in time my head is filled with questions. What if I can help? How do I go about it? What if people are interested in what I have to say? Who do I tell to find others who are like minded or need the info? My heart is as always filled with Empathy, Compassion and Love. Yes Love ... Love because it is possible to love other humans and other creatures. Love like the first time one sees a new baby or watches a flower open. Sure I'm a little afraid of being judged poorly by those that do not know me, yet I feel compelled to try. Who is it that said ... the greatest job in this world is to become all one is capable of and for this reason info is placed here.

My place to begin is here and for me, magic is real, like the sun light caught in a raindrop and the prism visible to those who have eyes to see it.

Welcome to 24th April 2012. First time Blog from Helen.
Intro.  The reason for the Name ... DragonFly News.
Once a very long time ago, there was a fish tank, it housed simple gold fish. The tank lived in a kitchen where one spent many hours enjoing cooking and the sunlight that always seemed to be in that room. One day a mysterious little green swimmer was found in the tank, fascinated ... one watched until a beautiful prism coloured set of wings emerged, flew around the kitchen and out into the garden. Since that day one has always had a soft spot for a DragonFly and in thoughts of creating a name for this blog it seemed natural. I am Helen I hope in sharing we become friends.
