One of the few constants in our life is change. We are changing every second of the day. In that moment in time, our hair grows longer, we shed some of our skin and we get a little older!

 We can either fight against these changes or accept that they do exist and get on with living our lives with Dignity, Gratitude, Compassion, Optimism and Surrender to Love.

 When I was younger, I lived my life fighting against change. I was incredibly unhappy and unsatisfied with life. However, this is what I knew and I thought that this was ’my lot in life’!

 Unfortunately in my 20’s, I experienced a time of surviving day by day, moment by moment with loneliness and severe depression . Unfortunately, I experienced a few suicide attempts because I couldn’t see a way out of my pain; my life.

 I reached a point of total desperation, when I came to believe that I wasn’t even ‘good enough or smart enough to be able to kill myself’!

 After a serious car crash on the 3^rd of November 1983, 

I had a moment of sanity and decided “For things to change for me, I must change!”

 That life-changing moment started me on a journey of embracing change and transformation.

 I decided that if I was going to live, I may as well pursue happiness and find things in my life brought me joy.

 I didn’t know it then, but I now know that I was moving on to a path where I would live with Optimism, Gratitude and Compassion. I was learning to Surrender to Love and to live with Dignity.

 Connection became a vitally important part of my transformation. I went out of my way to connect with others who had experienced similar challenges and together we would encourage each other, be honest with each other, be open with each other ... and together we had the opportunity to change and transform our lives.

I connected with a power greater than my ego self, which I now know to be my Higher Self. I began to look back over my life and be grateful for the tiniest of gifts of positive connection that I had experienced.

 Fortunately, I connected with some older, wise women who saw something in me that I didn’t see in myself. They nurtured me and loved me and encouraged me. They confirmed to me that it was important to be willing to change. They encouraged me to continue to transform and embrace my new life of health and freedom.  They were living lives of dignity, where they were respected and loved... and I wanted that aswell.

 They taught me the value of Connection .......... Connection to my Community, Connection to my Self and Connection to my Higher Self.

 As we move into 2010, a time of great change and transformation, it is vitally important that we ensure Connection with others who are walking a similar path of consciousness and healing - People who will support us, encourage us and guide us – as those wonderful women did with me.

 I am so pleased to say that The Healing House has become a wonderful community of support and love.

 Through Reiki, the Meditation Circles, Retreats, and Workshops there is a wonderful welcoming sense of community where support and loving connection is offered freely.  There is a conscious connection of support, to grow and change together, with love as the key and constant.

 One of my favourite sayings is - “Only I can do It, but I can’t do it alone”.... It is one of my favourites because I know that only I could change the attitudes and beliefs that ran my life, however I needed loving input from others to see another way!

 May you be blessed with Connection to your opportunity for change and transformation with Healing – and delight in its opportunity for you.

Wishing you Love, Light and a Peaceful Heart,

Gill
