The Secret

[gypsie]

Ok I am going to keep this simple, yet again the heartfelt post just disappeared as the computer decided to turn off...Tannis I really got the concept the words were for me, but I can't even remember the words I wrote

Harry's mother had a stroke, two nights ago he has just returned from Melbourne and they assure him it is very mild, she asked after you PP when I spoke to her hesterday, bawling like a child. Out of the blue "how is your friend who lives in the woods in Canada, you must visit Deb" the mind is a strange thing, I thought where did that come from

I must post a healing request for her she is such a lovely woman very optimistic with a zest for life like I have never seen, my favorite saying of Pats is "OH RUBARB"

Pet I will wait until your all moved in and send the skirt, can you PM me your new address...

Love to all who visit here Gypsie

[lilly]

Dear Gypsie Deb,
I'll send prayer's for Pat. Full recovery is not unusual these days. Love and (((hugs))) to you.

[Petra Wilson]

I'll pray for your mum Gypsie! How is she now?

Pet I will wait until your all moved in and send the skirt, can you PM me your new address...

I feel a sense of déja vue coming on!!

After that move, I shan't be moving for at least 5 years!! plus I took off weight, so I'll probably fit into it??

Love Pet XXX

Hi Pet,
I've missed you on the board...your wonderful personality shines and makes everyone happy. You're loved very much.

{{{{{{{ HELLO EVERYONE}}}}}}}}

I think we must have all left the planet for awhile,,,so I'll make it official and re-open Gypsies coffee shop....

lots of room in the parking lot.....

ok,,,I'm in now,,,,and putting the fresh coffee, tea, chai's and any special orders I hear coming through....

I see a crowd coming.....



I got so excited I hit the submit button

well one person is on the way,,,,so think I'll do up some cheese scones



oh dang,,,,I just did it again,,,,(hit the submit button)

but more are arriving.....

(he was a little slow)

how lovely to see you all again.....

catchin up on the news,,,,,and seeing everyone has come through their latest struggles,,,,,,

There is a crowd now,,,,so if anyone would like to lend a hand in the kitchen,,,,these scones are definitely not going to be enough....

I brought my new Great Nephew too (just wish I could post a pic),,,but he's a sweetie (and aren't all new babies),,,good thing he's quiet...


Just went back and read the last two pages of posts to see what was happening,,,,and if there was more....

but we seem to have gone silent since Apr 21,,,

so I sure hope everyone is doing 'better',,,,Pet and Gypsie inparticular...

news has been coming around though and since the beginning of this new year,,,,it seems like we're all being 'tested'....put through the wringer is more like it....

but speaking for myself,,,,I know it's all made me stronger....


If any of you remember,,,last summer I attended a meditation up in the Canadian Rockies,,,that was linked to "The Gathering of One" which was held in Yellowstone...

well through this past year,,,Caroline and I have been finding people 'of like mind and heart',,,,we had our gathering planned for last November, but the only person on the Island who could do it,,,,wasn't able to due to a death in her family.....

so we slogged it through the worst winter this Island has ever seen,,,,

3 months of snow,,,,that once it started,,,it didn't stop....well,,,it stopped me,,,I wasn't driving in those road conditions especially since most of the time I couldn't even get down my own driveway....

during one of my 'escapes' I brought an old friend home who stayed with me for the 'duration' and abit beyond......it was a good time and a bad time.....for it definitely showed me ,,,lets just say,,, many lessons...

I think 'spring' happened,,,although you can't tell by our night temperatures,,,,we are still in the 'cold' zone....with the very odd,,,HOT few days....now the late spring rains are here which makes the damp seep in.....here we are May 12th,,,and I built a fire last night to get the damp out of the house and my bones.....

well, on with the story,,,,,all of a sudden we had the full group of 7 that we needed to have our gathering....and we flew a lady out from Nova Scotia to 'officiate'.....

the best news of all,,,,is that dear Memawlaura,,,,at the last minute (almost),,,,,came up from Oregon.....she actually came up the week before,,,and stayed for a week afterwards....

and I COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT HER!!!!

What a blessing

and what a blessing we were all given,,,,during our gathering,,,another 7 came together,,,and the following day we had another gathering of which Laura was part of....

picture this,,,,me and Laura start off on a Sat (Allan was home that weekend and got to meet her too,,,then we had to take him to the airport on Tues ,,,,last minute preparations, pick up Margaret at the airport on Wed ,,,,one more joined us in the evening and stayed for a week....the next day another one arrived for 5 days,,,then 4 more arrived,,,so there were 9 ladies staying over,,,we were sleeping on beds, couches, and airmattresses...

on the day of the second gathering,,,most of the first group left,,,but for the better part of one day we had 16 people gathered here together...

what a group,,,,everyone brought coolers with food,,,we laid out the dining room table like a buffet and you ate when you were hungry...everyone pitched in with any cooking,,,,coffee/tea making...

it was a huge celebration

Laura and I took Margaret back to the airport,, ,,in the wee hrs of the morning,,,,she had a long flight back across Canada,,,,then Laura and I had another couple of days before she had to return home....

That was a sad day for me...I felt like my right arm had been removed...so back to Victoria we go,,,this time She got her car into the vehicle waiting area,,,and they told her she could only leave for 1/2 hr....so we drove together in my car,,,down to Dallas Rd, where we could see Port Angeles in the distance across the Straights of Georgia,,,I took her to see the tallest totem in the world,,,then we had to get back to the ferry terminal,,,,,4 minutes to spare....and I had to leave here there....

I came back to a very quiet and empty home,,,,well,,,ok,,,no people anyway....but full of our loving Father and Mothers energy....

now in the few days after,,,,,we're seeing with incredible 'clarity' the difference in ourselves and others.....no judgements,,,,just clarity....

through the week,,,I'll be posting on some of the other threads about some of our experiences.....(with their permission of course)...

I 'see' a few more people have come in,,,,so I'll go back to the kitchen now,,,and whip up a few more cheese scones and tea....

love and blessings to everyone...

Good Morning!!!
Can't wait to hear about your experiences with the group. It would have been nice to see Laura and have her staying with you.
I almost posted here on the weekend and was thinking of you, my brother photographed an eagle flying above him last week as he was walking. I immediately thought of you as it's one of your avatars. He also saved a tiny bird caught in a spider's web....it's mate was distressed. They flew off together. He was looking through his camera lense and happened to see it high up....he got a long branch and hooked it out.
I have missed you very much and with the studying have been a bit frazzled myself. I'm enjoying it all the same.
Our loving friends are very much around as I discovered on the weekend whilst meditating. We are the one's who forget. lol I'll come back later and have a cup of tea and a scone with you.
Love lilly xoxox

[Sandy]

Hello PP!!!!

Did my heart good to read your post. I can still smell the cheese scones..hmmm that might be a good thing for supper tonight. Can George have one too?

I enjoyed hearing about you and Laura and your wonderful spiritual adventures... am tickled pink that you and Laura got to share this time together!

My house too is feeling a little too quiet and a bit empty as Beaver left us for her return flight to Canada in the wee hours Tuesday morning. We heard from her today and she is safely home again among family and friends.

Petra is waiting to get hooked up on Orange which is the internet service in Corsica I think. Until then she is stuck with short visits to the internet cafe and can only pop on briefly. The last I heard from her she was still happy as clams in her wonderful new apartment with the fabulous view of the Sea.

Thanks for all you do ... PP...Lilly... what would we ever do without you. guys...each of you and I am speaking of everyone who posts here ...touches my hearts and grounds me in this place so far from my roots.
I sometimes feel like a cut flower...Okay a smelly old marigold ... nothing fancy... that is cut and placed in a vase and expected to stay fresh and lovely...but sometimes the water needs changin, huh?... Anyway...I'll add a few anzac biscuits to the buffet and some Belgium chocolates the kids gave me for Mothers day.. I can't seem to stay out of them!

Love you all to bits!
Sandy

...and I would be a daisy! Or sunflower? Who wants fancy? Marigolds are very important in India aren't they? So, forget smelly old marigold...Yogananda would have a fit! hahaha I know what you mean though!

Up and running now ladies. This old trout is back in the thick of it.
The apartment is whitewashed, spacious, quite grand, spectacular views of the Med, mountains and town's cobbled streets & cathedral. There's a lot of action in this town, a lot of pious catholics singing their hearts out during mass and it's quite beautiful. Pity a few of them aren't so christian after the services...I shan't eloborate, not worth it!

Hey PP, I did often wonder what was happening with you! I thought you were so overwhelmed being a mod you stayed away! hahaha! Kidding, of course.
That Gathering thing sounds awesome..(and I never use that word unless I really mean it, you know how it is so overused?) It's funny, I have felt Mother Nebadonia several times. Got my 606 prompts along with the positive feelings. My kid's are learning about the damage we are still doing to Earth and it really moves them. Now they use water as sparingly as possible and turn out their lights etc without my nagging them.

Gypsie, I heard you were back in the hospital, but that was a while ago. Here's the address: Mme P Wilson/ ETG 1/ Piazza San Teramu/20221 Cervione/Corsica/France
There must be about 4 different versions of this address, but we always get our mail. Apparently our reputation proceeded us. Felt like being famous, LOL! Folk would utter: "Ahh, so you're that English family with the Volvo!" "Hey! I bet you prefer it here to Forci??"
Me: "Who the hell are you???"
I'm working with Phil again, but it gets sooo hot when the sun's out. I'm not being funny PP, but you can have some of this weather and I'll welcome yours any day. How I miss rainy Wales. (But not too often).

OK, I've finished my tea...oh, get this! Phil brought over his Granny's best china, ancient antiquey stuff and now I enjoy my tea in paperthin porcelain cups with saucers. Cucumber sandwiches too. Very English...it's what I have left of good old Blighty, eh??

Massive warm hugs to you all!

Hello Ladies,

It seems we're all back. YEA! Even though I don't write often, I've missed you all.

You inspired me Petra, I'm going to make a pot of tea in my antique tea pot today. (I may put some ice in it though, it's getting hot here too )

Today is an important day for me.

Thirty-two years ago today I made the best and most important decision of my entire life. I married Gordon Grotts. There is not a man in this world with more integrity and compassion than my husband. I am so immensely bless to have him not only as my husband and lover but my closest and dearest friend. He knows and understands me better than I know myself. Anyone who knows me understands, he has to have the patience of a saint to have lived with me for thirty-two years.

I declare this for all the world to know. I love Gordon Grotts with all my heart, mind and soul and it is my intention to live a long and glorious life with him on this world and then to continue our love together into eternity.

Ok, enough of that.

We're going to San Francisco to stay with friends and go to Heart's Castle on Saturday. This is my birthday celebration. My son, Matthew, calls May "Mom's Month" because I have Mother's Day, our Wedding Anniversary, and my birthday. I have to admit, May is usually a pretty good time for me.

My love to all and, please, let's all keep in touch,

Sher

[peacockplume]

whoooooo hooooooo,,,

it must be 'home week',,,,,we're filtering back in....just too GREAT for words...

No Pet, I didn't take offence,,,:love:

Hey PP, I did often wonder what was happening with you! I thought you were so overwhelmed being a mod you stayed away! hahaha! Kidding, of course.

honestly,,,I was thinking the same thing myself....

What the hey!!! (this is me thinking),,,,you just become a mod and now you can't answer on the mb....what's up with that ???

but I figured it out....just alot of other stuff that I had to figure out...sort out....and get prepared for.....(but I was starting to feel a tad guilty)...

I'm sooooo happy for you,,,,,now whilst you're sipping tea in your fine porcelain tea cups,,,,you can look back on your journey with different eyes too.... interesting isn't it !!!

one of our talks during the two weeks of company was about 'nurturing ourselves' and why we don't do more of it.......we need to do some things that make us feel {{{{{gooooood}}}}}},,,,

I have some of my grams favourite porcelain cups too....sitting nicely within a glass enclosed hutch....but now I'm going to use them....thanks to you...and try not to break any...

have a special pamper time in the morning,,,,and you know I'll be thinking of you while I'm having my tea.....in fact,,,,I'll put a few on the shelf here.....

Just a guess,,,,but I'll bet that Gypsie is resting from her 'rest'....getting ready for the AU winter,,,,

we have the sun today so I can let the fire go out - see how long it lasts....perhaps you did send some my way Pet - thanks,,,much appreciated....I do enjoy 'some' of the rainy days,,,,the soft gentle stuff can actually be pleasant....it's been our temperature here though,,,we even had a frost the other morning....in May????? c'mon now...nuff's e'nuff....it's starting to be like the rest of Canada,,,,danged cold....

in 92,,,,I planted in March,,,,,this year all the flower buds didn't bud out as normal....we were a month behind,,,,,we're still a month behind,,,

perhaps we'll get a longer summer,,,,like an extra months worth this year....well,,,we'll see,,,,I do not wish for the extra hot summer though,,,then you're always worried about the forests....

it's good to hear your children are tuned in to mother earth,,,they'll teach others....they are the future....Bless their Hearts xoxo

OK,,,it's brekkie time,,,,actually brunch time here,,,,so I'll put on some omlettes with cheese,,,,maybe just a tad of bacon....someone bring some fruit and croissants and we'll share a meal together....

loves to all
pp
xoxo

[peacockplume]

Greetings dear Sher,,,,

Your right,,,,Pet has been an inspiration today to both of us....

I was writing while you were,,,,and me being rather long winded posted in two minutes after you....so I missed your post....

so I had to write back,,,immediately,,,to say...

CONGRATULATIONS,,,,MAY IS YOUR MONTH AND A SPECIAL HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOO

I'm sure you'll enjoy your very special day in San Fransico....with your soul mate and friends.....as you intend,,,so shall it be...

Congratulations once again....

Sending the 'call' out,,,once again....

c'mon in for some tea,,,,,this time in 'good' cups...

love and blessings,
pp

[Petra Wilson]

Hello Sher, PP and ALL, aw Sher! I got a lump in my throat from your post.
May is good for me too as Phil asked me to marry him on the 1st on that old volcano you see on the Volvic water bottles. I was sooooo happy, he laid it on as a big surprise! Champagne in his rucksack, alas, we drank out of the bottle, the ring and everything. We married 2 years later on the 28th! Hang on? Or is that the 27th? Gawd, I'm always forgetting it!! He'll kill me if I forget again...
We had a few major problems some years back but we stuck it out..."In sickness and in health" and all them promises we made! Today we're like a pair of loved-up teenagers. My son can't stand it he says, Runs off making vomit noises.

I'm going to have my second pot of tea with the less antiquey cups. Hand painted ivy cups, very English countryside!

Take care everyone,

LOVE, Petra xxxx May is beautiful here...so many wonderful blossomy smells in the air, quite heady.

[lilly]

Hi Everyone,
What a beautiful bunch of roses you all are...I mean it!!! It's made my day seeing you all here again. I'm so happy for all of you.
Love lilly xxxxox

I had a wierd experience last night...it was like sleep paralysis but I was suspended in mid air. Didn't panic, but it felt like an eternity till I came out of it....errrr woke me up too. My mind was crystal clear and I knew what was happening...but couldn't move or make a sound.
I rang my close friend today, who lives a couple of blocks away from me and one of the first things she said was..."I had a sleep paralysis thing happen to me last night". what a coincidence that was.
Before I went to sleep I got an 11.11 prompt as well.

[peacockplume]

Mornin ladies and any 'lurking gents',,,

Pet,,,I got a chuckle out of your post,,,there's a commercial on TV, where the parents are snuggling up,,,and the teenager comes into the room and groans...and says...oooooh!!! get a room !!!! and runs out...

that's what we need as we move on in life,,,,more snuggles....

thought I was going to get 'snuggles' yesterday....

allan was supposed to fly in around noon....he actually got home (to the airport) at 10 pm....he had a direct flight from Toronto to Victoria,,,which took 3 planes to get him here...

some direct flight that was.......mechanical failure....stopped the direct flight....then they shuffled all the passengers around to other flights,,,

in Winnipeg,,,,something else happened ???? more delay,,,,

a 3 hr stop over in Calgary....he phoned my niece who saw the call was from a pay phone,,,,and Allan said hello,,,it's Allan,,,and she said,,,you've got the wrong #....and almost hung up until he said her name... then he talked to my sister for an hr....so at least he had some distraction...

I get to the airport to find his flight from Calgary due in at 9:03 pm was delayed till 9:51....so it was almost 11:30 pm before we got home...

now he's 'tuckered'....so while he rests and sleeps to catch up today I thought I could answer some mails....


Lilly, I've heard of people having those kinds of dreams....perhaps if you start a thread there'll be others who'll write in about them...


well, we have overcast and light rain for today,,,,glad I got some sun yesterday....

this is our May long weekend,,,,lots of campers out in not so good weather this year....it's the first 'official campout' of the season,,,and isn't usually the best weather for camping....we used to do it,,,but haven't in many years now....

living out in the woods,,,,who needs to go camping!!!!

have a beautiful day, wherever you all are...

love and blessings,

pp

[Petra Wilson]

Bloody hell PP, you need some sunshine!! You know? Here in Corsica for the last 10 years the weather has been a lot wetter. They were in the process of raking in government money for waterworks, but there's been no problems since of draught. The only thing they need to do is modernize their 19th century water tanks. There's plenty water in the mountains now! It depresses the locals though, they despise rain! I run dancing in it!

I love you all, always!

Here's a line from Bob Marley: "Don't worry.......About a thing......Coz every little thing.....Is gonna be all right!!.......
It is, you know.

[Sandy]

Hello everyone!

Okay...I'll put my favorite burgandy teddy bear mug aside for once and try the tea in an official tea cup, saucer and all. Could be nice change of pace I suppose.

Oh Sher!!! That was the most beautiful, romantic thing I have ever heard anyone say about their spouse. You and Gordon are both so lucky to have found such a timeless love... and we're all beaming a little brighter because of you sharing it with us.
Happy Anniversary!!!!

Thanks for the Bob Marley quote, Pet, you "old trout". Good to have you back!

Here's a line from Bob Marley: "Don't worry.......About a thing......Coz every little thing.....Is gonna be all right!!.......
It is, you know.

I will try to keep those wise words in mind. (((HUGS))))

Lilly, I believe Airik has dealt with sleep paralysis before. A couple years ago he was telling me of some of his experiences and it sounds a bit unnerving. How odd that both you and your friend had the same experience the same night.... very strange...

PP, I bet your woods will be beautiful soon if they aren't already! I hope the weather soon brightens a bit for you poor beleaguered Vancouver Islanders. haha I just heard a song..."The sun will come up tomorrow." hmmm a good thing for me to remember as well. Think I will take a peek at the lyrics.

Have any of you ever made Tahini milk? I just made some chocolate Tahini milk today and it was really good. It's supposed to be high in protein. Actually the recipe calls for carob powder in place of chocolate but with my indescriminant taste buds I couldn't tell the difference.

Love you guys!
Sandy

[George]

Gordon Grotts

He is REALLY something !!!!!!!

I know, because I'm a grumpy old man !

and loving it.

Hugs.....

[Petra Wilson]

George, there was an old TV series I remember called just that: Grumpy Old Men! It was hilarious listening to their opinions on modern things! Phil's like a 90 year old most of the time. A right bleedin' English Pom! lol I'm 6 years older, but clearly 35 years younger mentally, haha!!

Well, I'm supposed to be attempting Stillness and I'm still here! Still here? Haha!! I've been catching up and I just love this KEYBOARD!!
Anyway, here's a video clip ofManny and he says HI to everyone! He also says, "mum's not fair! She won't let me go on the 'puter!!"

Love, Pet XXX

[Sandy]

HI Manny! Loved the video!
Love,
Sandy

[memawlaura]

Good Morning everyone,
I have sure been a busy beaver lately and miss sharing with all of you. I've got lots of family coming this week for a memorial service for my brother who passed last summer. I'm sure glad I went to see PP and gain all that I have from that experience to get me through this one.

The sun is out and were going swimming in the creek today, its been so cold and gloomy up here it will be a special treat. There's nothing better than the outdoors on a beautiful sun shiney day.

How's the weather in Austrailia George and Sandy, I know your months are opposite of ours, whats it fall out there?

Hello, Pet it sounds like your in a beautiful place now over looking the sea, it sounds dreamy. PP and I need to start manifesting some more travels and come see all our beautiful 11:11 family.

Is Gypsy back in the hospital again? Oh where, Oh where can my little Gypsy be!!

Sher, you have a great time in San Fransisco, the weather should be just wonderful for your visit. Have a wonderful time you deserve it.

To everyone else I love you and hope "all is well in your world".

Loves and Hugs to you all.

[George]

Hi All

Just got back, one month PHEW! Everything went so well and my time was spent on getting well, from the inside out.... Where I went was based on Pia Melody and many other wonderful people's insight into self healing. The soul is lighter and faith has returned, it is such a gift faith?

George you are not grumpy, not with that smile

Willl jump on in the morning and really catch up

Love to all and thank God you are all here Gypsie

[George]

Good to see you back here, Gypsie !

We kept a place open for you.

Grrr.

[gypsie]

Thanks George

Funny i was just about to turn off the computer but looked up and saw your name, it's great to be back and I mean really back that Inner Child work is hard but it's such a relief to place a few more pieces to the puzzle together Met some amazing light workers and at times I could feel my soul being held with love One beautiful therapist said to me during a process "Deborah you realize many others were in this room" Oh George it was wonderful and I feel blessed to have been guided to a place to heal from within rather than the big hospital being pumped with toxins...

We are lucky to have such a spritually minded group of healers gathered in Australia, for many to trust the process. I thought of you all often while there and felt blessed to have a place in the 11:11 family

love Gypsie

[George]

Hi Gypsie,

We now have a string of 11:11 healers, too. 130 of them, and an association with a large group of Mentori.

Keep an eye on what RedShift will be posting in the next few days, I suggest.

Hugs......
