I found one of my notebooks on clearing out our attic yesterday and in it my morning pages (a stream of consciousness) from last november which in reflection seems to be about the <a href="http://the2012scenario.com/2011/10/on-to-the-global-impact-of-the-11-11-11-stargate/">11.11.11 Time portal/Stargate </a>. On reflecting about the past year and the way many people have been pushed into living their truth, in other words not hiding from what they feel is the right and true way for them, i really do think that deep changes and big shifts have been happening.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
"Stargate- the opening, the awakening, the portal. A clear wide open channel/doorway for utter connection, total renewal, transformation, a wholeness and healing on every level including the old mental attitudes shed and new whole ones formed, a new way, a new walk, an old remembrance a remembrance of the old way. Vulnerabilities, vulnerability stepping out, arms wide open, free, new direction threatens the old, but it has reached a tipping point, the new way is stronger than the old so it will break down the walls and previous borders and boundaries will shift or will be removed all together. Wide open, transparent, new wave is the new way. Trust, honesty, truth will be the the new tenants to stand by-people know the truth because they sense it, they will listen to this/these feelings and go where their intuition says it is safe and reliable to go. No more capitalist lies and greed. It is all about the community, the common good, working together for the greater good-support, relationships, a process of community, family and relation that makes everyone accountable/responsible. We all need to step up to create the world we want to see and live in."<br />

A few days before, this was in my morning pages:<br />

Gems to keep, to protect, to value, to use, to heal, to seal, to place on broken damaged unhealed elements, parts, places in people. They glimmer they are in reach, you touch them, feel their light, their energy. You grasp them in your arms, holding them all to your chest, each one slowly disappearing into you, pop, pop, pop and your mouth opens and you sing. Your body, your light body opens, a bright shining light, to reveal energy of all colours dancing and merging and moving with vibrance and health. They are spiralling through your whole body waking up every cell as they go deep deep into every part of your body, waking up the blood, the tissue, the lymph, the organs, each part down to the smallest element, around your digestion, your heart. Kicking out a whole lot of rubbish and unneeded things at your throat and on up into your head, your brain, clearing out all the pathways, the old unuseful ways of thinking. Lighting up some areas so that you are vibrant, go getting, risk taking and whooshing with creativity and bounce......"<br />

Time to write, time to dream, time to be the mother i would like to be! Things run on and as i look back i realise that although many dreams of how i wanted to be as a mother had to change due to energetic circumstances and in some ways i could say therefore fell short of my ideals, many things have by far surpassed anything i thought possible and i am proud oh so proud to be saying that. I struggled with M.E for many years before having children, struggling to function in a normal way and needing endless recovery time (as just one part of the experience) yet i didn't want to wait to 'get better' fully before having children because i felt at the time that this may never happen or it may take a looong time, i also had no idea about what was involved...selfish probably but wow what a journey and one i would not change for the world. When i so easily became pregnant in the first month i was seriously thrilled but i also panicked about exactly how i would cope and then for sure when i had my second that i would not make it. Throughout the last 4 years i have been so stretched emotionally and physically (and especially having moved abroad when my eldest son was 4 months old taking away any support network which is so vital) that sometimes i thought it was not possible to go on, yet i've done it/am doing it and along the way i have learnt so much (wow what a serious spiritual lesson and learning about oneself and others having children is) and the boys have been such a joy. I've also had some serious opportunities to heal further namely being intuitively led into a high raw food way of eating, being the beneficiary of some incredible, infact mind blowing <a href="http://www.life-alignment.com/Pages/gb/home-page.html">Life Alignment Therapy</a> from <a href="http://www.carolinemanncoaching.co.uk/">my incredible mum</a> ( i love her <a href="http://www.carolinemanncoaching.co.uk/blog">recent blog post</a>) and some other wonderful healers including the beautiful Alice and really recently finding that the natural approach to healing my severe Thyroid issue was as simple as the raw food diet with high doses of Dr.Vogels Kelp tablets, this has taken the edge off the raw, mind numbing dragging myself through the day exhaustion and the horrendous depression and anger that came with it. I am seriously happy and healthy right now and i have two bright happy boys, I am doing it, i am being a mum with all the energetic demands that that makes and i realise that i am well, i am coping and although there are a few things that i have had to compromise due to my energy levels i feel that is is pretty darn amazing to be here and to be coping so well. I am a full time mum right now and that is just such bliss, i feel very lucky to be doing exactly that ( i wonder what throwing work into the mix would be like) and i hope i have the courage to keep going against the Norwegian system by keeping my children at home for longer than the norm. There is a fabulous book that helps to inspire one to do just this: <a href="http://www.themothermagazine.co.uk/bookshop/">"Life Without School: The Quiet Revolution"</a> (or on amazon <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Life-Without-School-Quiet-Revolution/dp/095603442X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1339623175&sr=8-1">here</a>)- i am slowly working my way through the whole <a href="http://www.themothermagazine.co.uk/bookshop/">Mother Magazine book list </a>which is just a blissful journey as is the<a href="http://www.themothermagazine.co.uk/"> bi monthly magazine</a>!Motherhood is a blissful, mind expanding, stretching and life changing experience and golly i love those boys to bits and pieces:<br />

This image makes me smile it gives me the feeling of waking up on a sunny morning full of bounce and zing, that utter happiness that i remember from my childhood when the holidays lasted for ever and we knew we were free to play in the fields and woods all day. It comes from the <a href="http://howtorawlove.tumblr.com/">How to Raw Love blog</a> which is also filled with images of delicious raw food.<br />

If you'd been up at 7am this morning and peeking over our hedge you would have seen my youngest son and i upended in the garden picking nettles and dandelion leaves to make our morning juice. Washed and bunged straight into the juicer with an orange and hey presto a pretty cheap and definately zinging juice. The boys actually fought over who was going to drink the last dregs from the jug.<br />
It was after happening upon <a href="http://tv.naturalnews.com/v.asp?v=0A4CA60B28DDCED1F167E2AEE01BC02E">Christian Bates video</a> about wild greens that we thought again about how much there is out there to forage for free, starting with the 'weeds' in our garden. Here in Norway it isn't too easy to find a variety of organic greens, you pretty much have to buy in bulk when they come into the shop otherwise you are left with pretty uninspiring iceberg lettuces or at best Romaine. (<a href="http://www.helios.no/?CatId=1447">Helios</a> sometimes sells bags of delicious greens, but you have to be quick when they come in as they sell out fast.) Tomorrow we're heading into the forest to see what we can find......pretty exciting and great for the boys and i to learn a bit more about nature.<br />

<br />
There is a whole heap of information out there as to why organic wild food/raw greens is so good for you but a fabulous book which includes this information is Shazzies book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Detox-your-World-Shazzie/dp/0954397703">"Detox your world"</a> and her <a href="http://www.detoxyourworld.com/">website</a> of the same name is also worth checking out. I highly recommend the book as a brilliant resource about simplifying our lives in order to heal and become the best version of ourselves.<br />
You can also see Megan Elizabeths recent video on 'The benefits of being raw' <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPtcU50OqBQ&feature=digest_sat">here</a>.<br />

Somehow there always seems to be some leftover porridge on mornings when i make it for the boys (with their green smoothies on the side) and i hate throwing it out, so today i made some yummy biscuits from the leftovers:<br />
<br />
<b style="text-decoration: underline;">Oatie Porridge Biscuits </b>(adapted from the <a href="http://veggie.buntch.net/oatie-porridge-cookies/">Veggie Buntch website</a> recipe)<br />
<br />
Ingredients- makes 12 biscuits<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8-dSsUn3vKGemhLPdwqdT5DweZoEjrZ1DRZrs110-5m68DhpWiF4BfJP7QFm8reQRTahG32zBOApqZTkFAUuw9Lz2EpwZEPBAQARnWEq7iA8XrA8chV8PInkKPvaKXrO10e_Mq9PQJNw/s1600/Oatmeal_Muffin_CleoCoyle.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="306" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8-dSsUn3vKGemhLPdwqdT5DweZoEjrZ1DRZrs110-5m68DhpWiF4BfJP7QFm8reQRTahG32zBOApqZTkFAUuw9Lz2EpwZEPBAQARnWEq7iA8XrA8chV8PInkKPvaKXrO10e_Mq9PQJNw/s320/Oatmeal_Muffin_CleoCoyle.JPG" width="320" /></a><br />
Roughly 1 cup of cooked porridge (or whatever you have left)<br />
1 egg<br />
1/2 cup of ordinary/Gluten Free flour (you should add more if your oats are not stodgy already. If you want them to be more fluffy use self raising flour)<br />
2-3 tablespoons of honey (or brown sugar).<br />
2 tablespoons of raisins (or other dried fruit).<br />
Good sprinkling of sesame seeds and dessicated coconut.<br />
2-3 teaspoons of ginger powder or a knob of fresh ginger grated instead.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Instructions</u></b><br />
<br />
Mix the porridge, egg and flour together. Add the dried fruit, seeds etc and the ginger. Now add the honey and taste to see if it is sweet enough for your liking. The consistency should be quite sticky, NOT runny.<br />
<br />
Use a tablespoon to dollop onto a greased tray and press down with a fork to make each biscuit. Or you can put them in individual muffin cases. Place in the oven at 180 C until done (+/- 20 mins)<br />
<b><u><br /></u></b><br />
<b><u>Alternative Ingredients </u></b><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #ebeadb;">Green pumpkin seeds, cranberries, grated apple, coconut, figs etc </span><br />

I love the raw foodie <a href="http://www.meganelizabeth.com/">Megan Elizabeth</a> because she shows so wonderfully how transforming and healing raw food can be. She climbed out of a complete breakdown in health by eating raw foods and she looks completely radiant, energetic, happy and ultimately so comfortable with who she is as a result. I have dipped in and out of raw food eating over the last few years knowing that it had a profound affect on my energy and my mood the first time i tried it in a big way, but not staying 100% raw because ultimately for me it feels too strict a way to live my life, i want more balance and flow. More raw food in my diet does result in a big shift in mood and energy and has me convinced that eating a largely vegan raw food diet is crucial for feeling truly happy and healthy. I realise that often depression, exhaustion and feelings of stalemate/inability to see out or move forward is usually transformed by eating more raw food (and of course sleeeeeeep, running, fun/seeing friends etc etc !!) The energy flows, things open up and the feeling of joy for life just comes flooding back in, i can deal better with things that come my way, the anger/erggg feeling goes down from high to zero and needless to say the world therefore opens up with new promise and hope and my healing practice goes to another level. Yeah for greens and the rest!<br />
There are so many inspiring raw foodies out there but i'm loving Megan's videos right now because they just make sense. (One of the first raw foodies not to rely heavily on expensive raw foods or nuts, just simple, easy and delicious). I came across her through Mila Ilina of <a href="http://raw-radiance.blogspot.com/">Raw Radiance</a> who is also an awesome Raw foodie/cheftress because of a wonderful video of Megan's that she posted on how to make your own <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNqZsAFXhZ0">Raw Organic Makeup</a> (and the updated video <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mH0JVtdyUmI&src_vid=GNqZsAFXhZ0&annotation_id=annotation_503411&feature=iv">here</a>). I am always looking for new organic/natural products to use because my skin is so sensitive and you could not get more natural than organic fruit and vegetables. Crucially she looks wonderful with it and you know it is both kind to your wallet and your body, what could be better!<br />

<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">I experimented with frozen blueberries first and was suprised by how beautiful the effect was, but after a few days i've come to the conclusion that beetroot on my cheeks and lips is a better look for me, infact i think i'm completey converted. I haven't quite got the mascara look down yet but when i use a mascara brush i think things will improve and i also want to figure out how to do it while travelling, but for now at home it's easy and i'm loving it....my skin is improving too.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">“Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly, and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love – for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment is it perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you from misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labours and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.” </span><br />

are the ones who <span style="background-color: white;">serve the Light. They "inspire, uplift and flow with Grace, embodying All That Is and mirroring that back to everyone and everything. It means Love, in all its potently infused, flitting and eternal forms. It means showing up and responding whenever Source calls, however that manifests itself in whatever reality. In my own expression, it often means blogging, teaching, painting, writing, and transmitting energy through words, gestures, vibration or intention. It definitely means lovemaking — but not just sexual — lovemaking in the sense of experiencing intimacy with the Earth and all her creatures, as well as the Stars, Galactics, Angels, and beyond. It means pouring Love into the dark spots and holding Love even when the world resists. It means becoming such a vibrational match to Love that everything else can re-member and revisit itself as Love." </span><a href="http://laurabruno.wordpress.com/2012/02/17/what-is-a-lightworker/" style="background-color: white;">Laura Bruno</a><br />

<span style="background-color: white;">But is that really possible and what does that actually mean on a daily basis? Well i feel that we are all light workers in some way but being a full time mum at this point in time i often feel far away from any of this and far away from the ideal </span><span style="background-color: white;">joyful, relaxed and creative mother that i would like to be, let alone the spirited healer. I am often </span><span style="background-color: white;">crabby, grumpy and desperate for a little space and sleep. I feel daily that tomorrow i must start anew and really make this day better than the last. To try harder to make things work or respond better to those around me. I want nothing more than to be the one with my children every day, experiencing things with them, keeping a home for them and trying to create a nurturing space and i know that this is the (spiritual) work, this is the journey, this is the challenge and the delight and somewhere in there good stuff is happening and joyful moments are being created. But it can also be hard to see it and to know that you are doing a good job, that you are sending out some good and some light into the world rather than feeling that it is rather relentless and you need to cry into the nappy bucket because you feel far away from being a good mother ( friend etc etc ). Thank goodness my boys are so utterley scrumptious that i want to be better for them and that when they come and cuddle up on my lap or when they squeal with delight at discovering something or when they called me mama for the first time, my heart melts and i realise even more so that this is it, this is where it all is, this is where i m meant and want to be and that i do shine the light into the darkness and i do hold that space no matter what is thrown at me because i love and ultimately that makes me a better person and a better light worker too.</span><br />

....aaah and back to the blogging world. I have to say i am really happy to have left January behind, it was a long month of chickenpox quarantines ( sadly no one was up for a chicken pox party) and illness starting with chickenpox for the youngest on New Years Eve and seemingly endless rounds of flu and viruses since, with each boy taking it in turns and Andreas and i succumbing eventually too. The quote that has been keeping me going through the tough stuff is <span style="color: red;"><u>"ONE DAY YOU WILL"</u></span> and some fabulous blogs <a href="http://gentlemothering.blogspot.com/2011/11/growing-habits.html">like "Taking Time</a>" and <a href="http://soulemama.typepad.com/">Soule Mama</a> ( i also have Amanda Soules wonderful book <a href="http://www.soulemama.com/handmade_home/">"Handmade Home"</a> and next on my list is her book <a href="http://www.soulemama.com/the_rhythm_of_family/">"Rhythm of Family"</a>) as well as some sweet dvds like <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Brother-Bear-DVD-Joaquin-Phoenix/dp/B0001MIQZ8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1329506982&sr=8-1">Brother Bear</a> and a fabulous friend who has been checking in with me almost every day and sending me funny things to keep me going <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Put-Bright-Early-Board-Books/dp/0375812156/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1325716041&sr=8-1">like this</a>, thank you Nicole you are amazing. But i have to say for the most part i have, dare i say it, been an uber mum/nurse thinking of endless activities for the various stages of sickness and making lovely herbal and natural tonics and healing juices and foods. But now i am done i want to get out, have some fun and a change of scene. I want to see people and i want to feel good about me.<br />

So i was lucky enough to book flights to zip over to the UK for my dads 60th birthday party on my own, a first since Sebastian was born ( time to read, sleep and party on my own and come home to my lovely boys refreshed and bouncing again) and vainly that led to fantasies about getting a new haircut. But having been to quite a few places in Oslo since moving here and ending up disappointed i wondered where i could go without feeling completely let down after parting with a huge wad of cash and feeling that the hairdresser hadn't listened to me at all. After a chance conversation a friend recommended <a href="http://www.adamogeva.no/adamogeva.html">Adam and Eva</a> in Grønland. I was sceptical, but i loved the place and Maria actually listened to what i wanted and seemed to tailor it to me and what suited me. I LOVED it and i still love it a few weeks later. Yeah!<br />

This is the smoothie that is getting Sebastian (10 months) and i chirpey and buzzing and our tummies happy and healthy. Its a version of the green smoothie that we had in Stockholm at the weekend when we happened upon this fabulous Green/Natural/Raw food place called <a href="http://www.asfaltblomman.se/hermans-ekohandel-5827645">EAT! Eco Affaren</a> (Eco Affair) <span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Tegnérgatan 3, Normalm, Stockholm.</span></span> Take a look at their website <a href="http://ekoaffaren.se/">here</a>. It is a delicious, creamy, filling smoothie and my body just seems to come alive at the mere thought of it. Sebastian too as he glugged down two large glasses of it this morning.<br />

"<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: palatino, 'times new roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">It's no exaggeration to say the Burning Man festival is one of the world's hippest and most mind-blowing gatherings.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: palatino, 'times new roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: palatino, 'times new roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">It's not quite an art festival, not quite a desert rave, and not quite a social experiment, but something of all three.

</div><div style="font-family: Arial; text-align: center;">This is a wonderful piece by the inspirational writer Clarissa Pinkola Estes for these challenging times.</div><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: 28pt;">You Were Made For This</span></b></div><div style="font-family: Arial; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 16pt;"><strong>By Clarissa Pinkola Estes</strong></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 6pt;"><br />
</span><b>My friends, do not lose heart. We were made for these times. I have heard from so many recently who are deeply and properly bewildered. They are concerned about the state of affairs in our world now. Ours is a time of almost daily astonishment and often righteous rage over the latest degradations of what matters most to civilized, visionary people. </b><br />
<br />
You are right in your assessments. The lustre and hubris some have aspired to while endorsing acts so heinous against children, elders, everyday people, the poor, the unguarded, the helpless, is breathtaking. Yet, I urge you, ask you, gentle you, to please not spend your spirit dry by bewailing these difficult times. Especially do not lose hope. Most particularly because, the fact is that we were made for these times. Yes. For years, we have been learning, practicing, been in training for and just waiting to meet on this exact plain of engagement.<br />
<br />
I grew up on the Great Lakes and recognize a seaworthy vessel when I see one. Regarding awakened souls, there have never been more able vessels in the waters than there are right now across the world. And they are fully provisioned and able to signal one another as never before in the history of humankind.</div><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-align: justify;">Look out over the prow; there are millions of boats of righteous souls on the waters with you. Even though your veneers may shiver from every wave in this stormy roil, I assure you that the long timbers composing your prow and rudder come from a greater forest. That long-grained lumber is known to withstand storms, to hold together, to hold its own, and to advance, regardless.<br />
<br />
In any dark time, there is a tendency to veer toward fainting over how much is wrong or unmended in the world. Do not focus on that. There is a tendency, too, to fall into being weakened by dwelling on what is outside your reach, by what cannot yet be. Do not focus there. That is spending the wind without raising the sails.</div><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYiCSt1BU0XWVHXa9uNlqu-CaOpBQZjgay_P1KgdbLR31k3iibD3tLg_y1y3IAw93VMa88U2WqWtxihTLy7dM_q7CDv4LjIeLypKE5oKQSwtolQmJNA86g1pkE1JQN9qQ6Xal6b47toWIU/s1600/Love_Light_Synthesis_Reiki.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYiCSt1BU0XWVHXa9uNlqu-CaOpBQZjgay_P1KgdbLR31k3iibD3tLg_y1y3IAw93VMa88U2WqWtxihTLy7dM_q7CDv4LjIeLypKE5oKQSwtolQmJNA86g1pkE1JQN9qQ6Xal6b47toWIU/s320/Love_Light_Synthesis_Reiki.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-align: justify;">We are needed, that is all we can know. And though we meet resistance, we more so will meet great souls who will hail us, love us and guide us, and we will know them when they appear. Didn't you say you were a believer? Didn't you say you pledged to listen to a voice greater? Didn't you ask for grace? Don't you remember that to be in grace means to submit to the voice greater?<br />
<br />
<b>Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world all at once, but of stretching out to mend the part of the world that is within our reach. Any small, calm thing that one soul can do to help another soul, to assist some portion of this poor suffering world, will help immensely. It is not given to us to know which acts or by whom, will cause the critical mass to tip toward an enduring good.</b></div><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-align: justify;"><b>What is needed for dramatic change is an accumulation of acts, adding, adding to, adding more, continuing. We know that it does not take everyone on Earth to bring justice and peace, but only a small, determined group who will not give up during the first, second, or hundredth gale.<br />
<br />
One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul. Soul on deck shines like gold in dark times. The light of the soul throws sparks, can send up flares, builds signal fires, causes proper matters to catch fire. To display the lantern of soul in shadowy times like these – to be fierce and to show mercy toward others; both are acts of immense bravery and greatest necessity.</b></div><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-align: justify;">Struggling souls catch light from other souls who are fully lit and willing to show it. If you would help to calm the tumult, this is one of the strongest things you can do. </div><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-align: justify;"><br />

There will always be times when you feel discouraged. I too have felt despair many times in my life, but I do not keep a chair for it. I will not entertain it. It is not allowed to eat from my plate.</div><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-align: justify;">The reason is this: In my uttermost bones I know something, as do you. It is that there can be no despair when you remember why you came to Earth, who you serve, and who sent you here. The good words we say and the good deeds we do are not ours. They are the words and deeds of the One who brought us here. In that spirit, I hope you will write this on your wall: When a great ship is in harbor and moored, it is safe, there can be no doubt. <u>But that is not what great ships are built for</u>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><a href="http://media-cdn.pinterest.com/upload/211247038740916078_hDLorgUT_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://media-cdn.pinterest.com/upload/211247038740916078_hDLorgUT_c.jpg" width="240" /></a>"Stuck, stupefied, brain fog, exhaustion, unfocused, unclear........ but these things will shift, waiting in the wings is great clarity, great hope, great success. Light will pour down through your whole being. You are a clear channel and we are waiting until Sebastian is old enough to allow you to fly again with your healing career. For now you need to be cocooned in this space, to be learning, being a mother, being completely in the moment, present and wholly there for him and Theodore. It is not the time just yet for great launches out into the world. When the time is right the people will come, they will flood, they will pour in from every direction for the light and wisdom that you carry is ancient and will help unlock, to empower and to liberate others who will come for help. You don't need to understand it you just need to let it flow through you. You are spirit learning to be human. It can be a rough road but a joyous one full of inspiration, heart connection and many different souls with many different lessons. Look on them all and any situation that presents itself as your teacher. What can i learn from this? What can i do with what i've been given? How can i use what i have learnt? Have faith that life is a magical mystery with occasional glimpses/full on vistas of the whole picture. You are looked after on so many levels, nurture the light, paint the soul paintings, eat the soul food, listen to soul music, dance, walk in nature and love-art is your passion and the further unlocking of your gifts, your power is in the use of your hands in healing, in creation of art work, art pieces that hold the awakening healing energy, the matrix, the geometric grid, the sacred hologram. Sing the light, be the light, dance the light, become the light.<a href="http://alittlelightonlife.blogspot.com/2011/10/life-alignment-oslo-march-2012.html"> Life Alignment</a> will take you to another level.Your guides believe you should make art, soul art to unlock your full potential-decorate your house with art work that brings absolute joy, healing and complete protection from magnetic smog. The depression is your life long deplesion through electromagnetic smog. You need to protect yourself from this to be able to stay fully in that zinging joyful energised state, that is your natural state. You are shoved off centre each day by these elements.You know it, you are so sensitive that you can feel it wherever you are. Geometric, sacred geometric patterns will help. Start small and build. You will be a huge success-go for it. Allow it to happen, heal as you go. Be the example and you will attract all you need. Joy, Light, Spirit, Hope."<br />

</div>I put these personal morning pages into my blog to show that we all have days when we feel out of balance and our thoughts and way of being is not perhaps as we would like, but if we can tune in and step out of this we can get great guidance and can often refocus and align again. This reminded me that i am going in the right direction, but everything has its time and place.</div><div><div><br />

Nearly 10 years ago it was exceptionally hard to get hold of products or to eat out with options, but now all supermarkets have gluten and dairy free products and a whole heap of restaurants and cafes have also cottened on and are serving a few glutenfree things if you ask, especially glutenfree pizza. There is a list of some of the places in Oslo <a href="http://www.glutenfri.org/eating_out/eating_out.php?county_id=12.">here</a>, one of my favourites being <a href="http://www.villaparadiso.no/">Villa Paradiso in Grunnerløkka.</a><br />

There is a wonderful <a href="http://www.facebook.com/groups/159858708942">Gluten free bakery/cafe</a> called <a href="http://www.bakefri.no/">Bakefri</a> in the city centre which has a whole heap of amazing gluten free breads, rolls, quiches, cakes and more.

But at the same time it can be very lonely, can strip you bare, stretch you beyond anything you can imagine and can be unrelenting in its intensity of need. Reading the article <a href="http://www.quantumparenting.com/articles/17/">"A Mother's Call to Healing"</a> by Marcy Axness she writes so brilliantly about the depression that can follow the birth of your baby but also how <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">"</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #f7f6eb; color: #38761d; line-height: 20px;">the healing call of mothering has carved out of me my true Self, who daily, gloriously, feels life against her soul."</span><br />
