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"

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.
