Yesterday I had a chat with the woman who I'd made/drawn a Christmas card for. It's the only one I've given in years; because its not a tradition I see much point in. All that paper, cardboard, printing inks, and trucks involved in making and distributing the cards. Then all of the trucks, vans...
This morning I still had a fair amount of muscle soreness from Wednesday's PT session. He introduced me to supersets. Very efficient, and a fresh take on doing exercises for me. My PT congratulated me at the end of the session, as we did 4 sets per exercise, and finished with HIIT on the rowing...
I gave it my all during today's 1:1 PT session at the gym. It was tough, but he was happy that I kept going until I couldn't go anymore. When the muscles tire, my brain goes "I can't do this" and yet, somehow it's possible to complete the set. Today we did 4 sets instead of 3, and the weights...
Gym session went well. Given how sore my muscles were, I'm surprised that I could do 3 sets of 10 reps on all but 1 exercise - where i managed 9, then 8 then 5. But i wasn't going to be silly about it. If the muscle had nothing left to give for that exercise, I'm going to listen to my body.
I...
This muscle soreness is going to make today's first solo gym session a case of mind over matter.
I emailed my PT yesterday and he kindly uploaded an 8 exercise - 1 hour routine. I'll then finish up with some swimming and then some meditation in the sauna.
The first month will have my body...
I give an offering of some of my water each time I visit the old oak tree. Respect your elders. I thank it for peace and strength. Hippie alert.
My guide has prompted me to purchase some instruments for my upcoming meditations and trance. In recent days I've learned that my guide was from the...
Waiting and worthiness are the 2 big lessons my next relationship will teach me.
I'm happy to say that I've improved with waiting; as it's destroyed me with anxiety in the past. Being away from a person triggered separation anxiety, and waiting for them to respond online - the longer the wait...
Today I drove a service user and their family to the Motorhome & Caravan show at the NEC in Birmingham. It was a lovely day out - and I enjoyed the driving. We also went to numerous places yesterday as well.
It's presented all sorts of unique challenges, and after my shift has finished I've...
The second medium circle last Wednesday was nice. A few less than the previous week, but a nice energy. We did another guided meditation along with drawing 2 cards from 2 different tarot.
From the Medicine Cards I got 43 (my lucky number) and the animal was a spider. What it spoke of was...
Received a nomination for employee of the month where I work. Whilst I didn't win, I did receive an email congratulating me. It included the message from whoever recommended me. They wrote some lovely things, and it was very uplifting to read.
My gut knew a few weeks ago that I'd get a...
Had my first meeting at the circle to begin training as a medium. Friends have joked that it sounded like a cult. The reality is it's a medium leading a group of spiritual people on a path to develop their abilities in a safe and practical way.
The people I met were lovely. It was fascinating...

Really craved McDonald's this morning. But that's just about the worst way to start the day.
So I got some eggu's and used up what was in the fridge to make something infinitely healthier.

As I went on my walk I asked if I could find something. My guides asked me what I wanted to find. I laughed to myself as I did not know, and thought perhaps I should've known before asking.
I jokingly asked to find a treasure. As I carried on walking I found a large bird of prey feather.
I...
Had my one-to-one with a very talented medium this morning. So much wonderful information confirming my path as a healer and light worker. She also said I was in the right job, and that I should look to step up to a team leader position; as I am more than able.
I then enjoyed a visit to Ely...
It's been several years, but tonight I decided to go for a long walk in the Fens at night. The first and last 15 minutes of the walk are along lit streets. But the 90 minutes in-between is out in the Fens, with no lights. I don't use a torch, as I like to navigate in the darkness. The moon...
Tonight's medium was excellent, and I was lucky enough to get a reading with her.
For me she took messages from her guides, as opposed to relaying information from dead family or friends coming forward. She delivered new topics unprompted by myself.
She spoke of my deep love of art. And how...
Ran out of weed yesterday and had no intention to buy more. This morning is day 1 proper without weed, as I had my last smoke yesterday morning.
Recently I've been making sure I drink enough water each day, and shying away from the usual comfort eating with unhealthy foods and snacks.
Still...
I've experienced the symptoms of burnout for years.
Now I'm working more hours than I've ever worked before. In my free time I sink into deep depressions and loneliness.
And now a week of insomnia. Sleep was the only thing not affected by 20+ years with anxiety and depression, and now it too...
