This was quite a while ago now, in myspace (a place I hardly visit any more). I've just looked back at the blog I wrote in response to that challenge and decided to bring it here and to, step by step, over time, expand on each of the things I shared, though one or two tell the whole story.<br /> So, here are the 10 things I chose to reveal about myself...</p> <p>1. I love this life! We're each blessed with the ability to face every challenge this life presents to us. The trick is to recognise that ability within yourself. Once you've done that the world is your oyster and the opportunities for joy are literally unlimited! – Not that it isn't hard work, it is, but the rewards for you effort are enormous. :o)</p> <p>2. I am a spiritual being enjoying a human journey.</p> <p>3. I have 3 stunningly beautiful nieces. I love those girls more than anything else. My life would be full and blessed without them, with them my joy and blessings are boundless!</p> <p>4. I believe in Angels… Earth Angels take on human form and walk with us, Heavenly Angels guide us spiritually.</p> <p>5. I am astounded at some of the connections I've made around the world thanks to the internet. I am so grateful to have you all in my life and continue to be amazed at the way you each touch my life! Thank you!</p> <p>6. I need to paint more – to make the time to be creative, simply because splashing colour around can be so much fun and I don't do it often enough!</p> <p>7. I love to play! - To fly kites and build sand-castles and to run fast for the sake of running fast…. Laughing breathlessly is FUN!</p> <p>8. I feel a deep connection with nature- especially with birds and with trees… Kind of like a kinship with them. I long ago discovered the consciousness of trees when a group of us went to a stone circle called Long Meg and her Daughters (or is that sisters?!? ). I stood in the kind of curved indent of the trunk of an ancient yew tree while my friends tried to count the number of stones in the circle – it's impossible to get the same number twice… Really! – and as they counted and I watched, the tree 'showed' me its history. I stood there for ages (literally?) absorbing images of druid council meeting, of women being sought for advice and wisdom, of men taking decisions for the whole clan…. Amazing! I was still there when my friends decided it was time to leave and started looking for me. I was right in front of them, but they didn't see me until I broke physical contact with the tree! True story! :o)</p> <p>9. I've always been a spiritual person, but it wasn't until I stopped smoking that my spirit really opened up. That's when I began to grow (and heal) in ways I'd never even imagined were possible before. I stopped smoking about 18 months ago. (Now closer to three years.)</p> <p>10. Politics, and the way the world is run, by whom, and for what purpose are also very important to me. I believe we can achieve peace in this world, healing for this world, but I believe that we have to know where to direct our healing energies… And, of course, what to write in all those letters and emails we send to our MP's and Congress-people! That's right people, I'm asking you to get your pens out! ;o) </p>
