Celebration cupcakes

As 2011 draws to a close the usual voices are saying “where has this year gone?”  This year for me (Ros) commenced in January strutting this beautiful body through 25 sessions of radiation therapy.  It was a blast – pardon the pun!!!  I got to know the staff personally and there is no hiding, so crystals, meditation and relaxing music were the order of the day and I would drift off to somewhere else for the 5 or so minutes this machine would take aim and zap what once was my breast area.

I was very fortunate to have a wonderful human angel in the name of Todd - he made the day, and we would have joke and chat.  On the last day -hugs.  Cupcakes became a big theme during my treatments.  Mum would create decorative cupcakes for me to deliver to staff and patients.  3 times we did this - people loved it. 

Last treatment day Aug 11.

Overall my body withstood the bombardment of chemo/radiation/herceptin extremely well.  The occasional tummy cramp (went after a few hours), loss of taste for a week each treatment, hair loss (eye brows/lashes remained intact) but overall a champion.  August saw the completion and great scans showing all-clear.  I believe in the alternative therapies (Reiki, acupuncture, massage, herbal tablets and positive attitude) medical assistance and Divine guidance – I was very blessed.  So off that subject - I had a great support team.

While I was going through my own personal healing Mother Earth unleased some energy of her own.   Many experienced global natural disasters (Queensland floods, Victorian bushfires, Christchurch earthquake & Japanese Tsunami) just to name a few, with devastating impacts on our world.  This was a test for the human spirit which experienced this, with some losing loved ones, homes, belongings, livelihoods but they rose above adversity.  What it showed was the possible achievements that can be realise when we join together as a community.  Our prayers and support continue to make this world a better place for us to live in.

The most wonderful place in the world I have been was, for 2 weeks in April, Hawaii.  9 ladies from Australia enjoyed many wonderful things on the Big Island, awesome food & drink, swimming with the dolphins & manta rays, visiting a volcano, bus trip and enjoying the healing energy of the island.  In October I had time with friends Paulette & Simon in their new home near Byron Bay reading, visited Crystal Castle (it was on the bucket list) enjoyed the waterfall & in November had a surprise trip to Japan with David.  Visited Toyko Disneyland, race track, had traditional Japanese meals and got to know the subway well.  I love Japan – hope to go again.

Dolphin swim in Kona, Big Island

I have assisted my parents move home in the past month. They have downsized as the garden was a big job with lots of pruning.  So after 35 years they moved down the mountain near to my brother Stevie and family.  This has been wonderful as it has bought the family closer together and we have had some fun times.

I have also had my first substantial pay packet this week since leaving the golf club 2 years ago.  I perform clerical/administration duties for a UK based firm, working on a contract basis for 5 months assisting a review of railways in Australia.  I am Sydney office ~ it is for a friend that David went to school/uni and had lost contact up until a year ago. Weird how things work, but great.  This has been a new learning curve and stepping out of my comfort zone.  It has been good.

Mt Fuji

Over the past couple of months my family have come together as a joyful unit and this has been wonderful especially for my Mum. After many years of strain and hurt she now is enjoying her time with more grandchildren. Unfortunately, my mum has also experienced a couple of accidents, one a fall where she hit her head and again a car hitting her and two other family members on Christmas eve and they ended up in hospital.  Fortunately, the outcome was only a few bruises, pain which will go in time ~ this was a good result from a bad situation.  Angels intervened...

My work in the holistic field has continued and I have met more and more people. So many wonderful friendships have come into my life, others have gone a separate direction and it has really taught me the lesson of “Reason, Season or Life time” relationships.   I launched my website earlier this year with clients purchasing Angel guidance card readings, hands on healing sessions and I created 3 youtube video clips with http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LB-MRxpOL9M Tina of Inner Delight based in Holland.  October commenced a monthly blogtalkradio http://shellyrwilson.wordpress.com/2011/12/05/life-enhancement-with-ros-and-shelly-on-believe-in-believing-segment-3/ “Believe in Believing” with Ros & Shelly Wilson. I continued writing on my blog, and my facebook page http://www.facebook.com/Findingurwings has continued to grow with 3,600 people following. With my regular visits through the year to the hospital I have spoken to many patients & staff to increase awareness of the benefits that complimentary therapies and positive thinking can do to assist their own healing.  There is no magic pill or someone to wave a magic wand and you will be fixed. I believe that to heal you must commit to and participate in your own healing..... NO ONE CAN DO IT FOR YOU. 

I have learnt it is important to:-

Listen ~ to your body and the messages from your inner knowing.

Act ~ if you receive a guiding message, act on it.

Trust ~ in the Divine source.

Believe ~ “that this too shall pass” and everything is possible.

Forgive ~ yourself and others.

LOVE ~ yourself unconditionally.

As 2012 approaches, I am open to all new opportunities and possibilities that are out there, but just cannot see yet.  I embrace Living, loving and being happy. 

Thank you for sharing the journey and my wish for you is that 2012 be amazing and that you are finding your own wings to soar.

Discovering Tokyo....

Believe in the creation of our dreams.....

A few weeks ago I had a wonderful opportunity to stay with friends who have had a sea change. Since I have known them 4 years now, their wish was to leave the city life and head to a rural environment.  A place where they can breathe in fresh air, create a vegetable patch, work at a slower pace, enjoy cooking and sewing, amongst other things.  This year they made this dream a reality.

While I was spending a week with them in October we talked about what places in the world we would like to see.  We discussed Japan. They didn’t have any desire to go, but I have enjoyed my 2 visits, one in 1983 and the other 2009. It interests me the different culture of Japan and many aspects about this country.  So to my surprise, only a few weeks after this chat, an opportunity came for my husband and I to travel to Tokyo. My thoughts were how incredible was this, that I had no plans of this trip happening and here it was. The bonus was that the accommodation was also provided by our host club.... woo hooo.

My husband has enjoyed writing and taking photos of horse racing around the world. This time we were entertained by the Racing Club of Japan. The first night we went to a restaurant on the 49^th floor of one building and enjoyed a traditional Japanese meal – we had a large bowl which was on a portable gas burner in the centre of the table. Inside the bowl was a soup and then placed in the soup was all sorts of meats, seafood vegetables. We filled this up twice and then placed some noodles in the soup and enjoyed them. An assortment of other small dishes was also served to us by ladies dressed in traditional kimonos. Some very nice people shared our table from Australia, USA and Japan. I sat next to a lovely lady, who was born in Japan, but lives in Los Angeles, USA. Her husband also has Japanese heritage, though he was born in a camp in America during WW2. As I got to know Umi we discovered that we had started on a spiritual journey about the same time and we shared many experiences and stories during that evening.She also had a love of Ikebana (floral displays) and has 60 students under her guidance.

We went the next morning by coach to the race track to watch the 4 overseas horses work out.  It was interesting looking around the course and had the best view of Mt Fuji as it was so clear and its snow covered peaks was just a sight to behold...

There was some time to do sightseeing and discover the metro underground system on our own. It is a challenge at first, because of the different letters than we are used to in the west, but as you get more familiar to the colours and the number system, it is very good. People are friendly and very helpful; they find it very difficult not to give you assistance, even to the point they will take you to where you need to go. It is very clean and orderly in Tokyo. I feel very safe and there is an abundance of food, drink and things to do, see and enjoy. I have decided that the Japanese people are the biggest consumers; they love fashion and nic nacs.
Everything is presented so beautifully and the window decorations are amazing. People are so well dressed and I love that you cannot use your phones on the trains or in public. They have designated smoking areas – it is great. We travelled on the river one day which was really nice. Visited temples and I love the architecture, the layout of the towns have been well thought out and very orderly.

Another day I decided to do my own thing and visit Disneyland in Tokyo.  My husband did say that he had read there are big crowds especially on the weekend but as there was a free shuttle bus at the hotel I thought this was an opportunity to see some of Tokyo and have some fun.  Well, when you come from a country that’s total population is approx 23 million people in a country the size of USA and that this number of people live in Tokyo. I don’t really think I understood what big crowds were. Yes, it was amazing as the day went on more and more people came in the park dressed in many outfits from Alice in Wonderland, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Minnie, Mickey, Donald etc people of all ages, young and old and had some form of Disney placed on their body. The queues at most rides were a waiting time of 90 minutes.  I think the Japanese have learnt to be patient.  I did have 2 rides and walked around but people observing was more the feature of the day.  It is very clean, orderly, well run and very much Disney.

The parks in and around Tokyo are lovely and a real feeling of connection to nature, shaped bonsai trees, water fountains and planted colour. I enjoyed seeing the autumn colours of the trees the beautiful shades of golden & reds. I would listen to my meditation music or a book enjoying the peace.

I also come back with a renewed connected to Christmas. Really strange when 2% of the population is Christian but the technology of flashing lights, trees, angels, snowmen and reindeer scattered around the districts are so beautiful. As it is cool, because it is autumn and as day turns to night the beautiful lights make a very appealing sight. Here in Australia it is summer time and hearing the songs “roasting chestnuts on an open fire” and “sleigh bells” is very strange to anyone that has not grown up with fake snow and melting while cooking the traditional roast dinner . So, thank you Japan for bringing the festive season to my heart once more and giving me a wonderful holiday to remember.

Messages from beyond the veil.....

I would like to tell you of a couple of experiences that have happened over the past few days. How spirits sends us messages to show that we are still connected, they can hear and see what is happening in our life NOW.

A little bit of background my dog “Prince” a welsh corgi, passed in 1980. My grandmother “Ella” passed in 2005.

Last Thursday, I had a phone call from my father advising me my mum had gone back to hospital after a fall that she had the previous Saturday; she tripped and fell head first into a door frame. A large bump instantly appeared followed by a black eye. The stress of packing and moving to a new home after 35 years may not have assisted her. I decided to go and support them. I packed a few belongings and set off to The Mountains. We spent a day at the hospital and after rounds of tests she was discharged and we went home. I decided to stay a few days as this gave methe opportunity to say goodbye to the family home, reminisce and let go.

Even though I had only spent 5 years full time at the home and then set off on my adventures around the world, gotten married and had children, it was always there as a safe place to land if needed. Our dog “Prince” a Welsh corgi part of the family when we first arrived at this house I had a special bond with him. As I grew up, if I was feeling sad or wanted a friend he was there, my friend to tell my stories too. He would love his chest being rubbed and it would make his back leg shake uncontrollably with joy. I never got to say a proper good bye. He wasn’t well and he hadn’t been for a few days. I got a call at work as I was 18 and travelled on the train each morning to Sydney 1.5 hrs away. Mum called to say he had passed and by the time I got home in the evening Dad had buried him. I think of him often and a few years ago I was preparing to run my first workshop “You have the power within”. I stayed at a friend who had organised the event and so taught me about crystals, auro soma and had been in the field for 20 years. She did an auro soma reading for me and she got this little dog as a vision. I told her about “Prince” she said he is holding his paw out to give you part of your soul back” she said she had not had this before. He watches over you and is returning part of your soul ~ I am not allowed near. It was very emotional moment. Time went bye and another medium has also seen Prince, it was funny because he was not real comfortable with dogs (the medium) and prince went running past him. So I know he is around me and I often feel him and sometime see him in my third eye.

Anyway, I was talking to Prince over the few days saying that he will be the only one of the family left at the house to look after the new family and this and that. Then yesterday speaking to my Mum as I had returned home 2 days before the big move she tells me a strange story. On speaking with the insurance company to tell them of the changes and to see if they are insured while in transit, the girl gets out the paper work and asks “will you be taking the DOG?” Mum replies “how old is your paper work the dog passed in 1980”. To me it was a way of telling me that he is around.....

My grandmother “Ella Kelly” also lived for 8 months with my parents at their home and I think my Dad was a favourite ~ I know that is not the said thing when you have 5 children but they had a good bond. I also learnt some major lessons through my relationship with my nanna especially at the end of her life. I spent 10 days with her just prior to her passing at a hospital very close to my home. I would nurse her/feed/ make cups of tea and we would chat about her life. I got to learn a lot over that 10 days and I learnt the lesson of forgiveness with her. She often made me feel inadequate as a child but as I know now it was that I allowed those feelings of self worth or more accurately “lack of” it was my own inner dialogue that created the feelings and with that I forgave her and myself. This was a big healing. When I said “goodbye” at the hospital I knew that this was my last time I would see her alive. We hugged and said “I love you” and I watched the ambulance go out of sight one week later I was at her funeral.

So while I was at the family home this past weekend I would again chat with Nanna, my dad had to dispose of 2 chairs that belonged to his mum and he enjoyed sitting in the garage to read the paper or experience the day. They also spent time together when she lived there for the 8 months to have to dispose of them was difficult for him and he said he apologised to her.
As we were packing clothing on the Sunday my dad bought in a suitcase and when we opened it there was a full case of her belongings. Pictures of the family and her, coins $301, 2 half pennies and a coin with a bald eagle, jumpers, hankies, new pairs of stockings and more...... again I took this as a sign she was here with us and I looked up the 301 in the Angel Numbers book ~ Doreen Virtue.

301 ~ God and the ascended masters ask you to keep your thoughts filled with love and focused upon the positive.

We are always connected and they to me are watching and guiding us on our journey.

I hope you are finding ur wings .....

KARMA.... cause and effect.

For every action (energy shift) there are repercussions in your life, some of them instant, some will come later. You cannot escape this, because energy is always looking to balance itself out. So be careful of your thoughts, actions, feelings & intentions..... they will come back, this is the Law of Karma. What we perceive good, bad, positive, negative, happy, sad.

I would like to tell you a true story told regarding my daughter’s friend......

This young lady was asked to housesit a friend’s family home, they had a dog and wished for the house to be looked after.

On arriving at the house she was greeted with the dog lying still on the floor, lifeless. Oh, my.....the dog has died. This unsettled her awfully, she found the name of a vet and rang for them to come and collect the body. The vet advised they couldn’t collect until the following day. Oh no, she couldn’t spend the night with a dead dog in the house.

They said that she could bring the dog straight away to the surgery and drop off the dead animal.

So with this decision the young lady decided to place the dog’s body in a suitcase and as she didn’t have a car of her own she had to catch the train. As she got on the train with the suitcase and it was a little heavy with the weight of the dog, she was struggling a little. Now on board the train, a guy nearby noticed that she was having difficulty and asked “do you need a hand?”

“ No, its fine” (not wishing to draw attention to her predicament ) she said, “this is my brother’s DJ equipment and I am fine”.

As they approached the next station the doors opened and the man grabbed the suitcase and ran off the train with bag in hand.


I would love to seen the look on that guys face when he opened the suitcase ....... now that’s KARMA.

Stepping into a new way of living......

Our friends Paulette & Simon who lived near to us in the city have made a life change and in July headed out of the city in search of a more rural and peaceful life style. They had this on their vision board since I met them 4 years ago. To me unless you put some action into the vision it is just a picture on cardboard. Last Christmas they finally started seeking a good rural setting they wished to rent, which is a good option to make sure that it is what you want. A couple of months ago a suitable home was located and the move took place. I was sad to see them go, but this was the right thing to do for them and I wish them much happiness.

An opportunity opened for me to visit them with my reconstructive surgery being moved to another time, so I took the chance to travel with Paulette on her journey back to their new home after they returned from a wonderful holiday in Africa.

On the road trip, we had a great 10 hrs travelling, chatting, stopping for a bite to eat and when we arrived, what a setting it was, 5 acres high on a hill, a newly created vegie patch, 5 bedrooms (2 of which have become craft rooms and an office) a lovely meditation type room to enjoy the view of rolling hills and trees, enjoy reading a book or meditate. It is a wonderful home and feels so peaceful.

Over the past few years the call of nature and its beauty have just beckoned me more and more... so to have time away, with trees, grassy hills, rainforest and waterfalls it was an idyllic way to spend a week and relax...

Very close by is Crystal Castle, which offers a wonderful array of experiences aimed to enrich your mind, body and spirit.

It includes:

The Buddha Walk ~ ½ kilometre of spectacular views of Byron, Hinderland, mystic statues, terraced lawns with plenty of shaded spots to sit and reflect. Buddha in his lotus pond - awesome.

The labyrinth ~ it is an ancient invitation for walk of spiritual reflection.

Rainforest Walk, a playground and the most amazing pieces of crystals I have seen of amethyst, rose quartz & clear crystal scattered around with a wonderful collection of statues.
This was a highlight of the trip for me and even with the light falling rain it was a real treat...I recommend it to anyone who enjoys tranquillity, peace and crystals.

81 Monet Drive, Mullumbimby NSW ~ Australia.

It was a wonderful setting to reflect and relax and in these times of change a way to recharge the batteries. I returned by plane after my 8 days and time to put many new things into practice and create even more wonderful opportunities now......

Enjoy your living and embrace what gives you a warm and vibrate glow inside and out.

Live, love and be happy..... Ros ~ findingurwings.

Believe in Believing.....

This morning I had another example of “Believe in Believing” ~ my parents have been in the process of selling their home of 35 years.... They placed the house on the market in August as it was time to downsize, reduce the clutter and have a new beginning, also a little extra income to put into the kitty. A few parties went through and then one family was very taken with the house. Negotiations took place and a sale was agreed. The universe brought about a new home not too far from where they are and it was giving them what they required on the check list.

Yesterday, my parents signed the papers and there were still a few hours for the other people to sign to complete the process of sale. I spoke to my dad yesterday - he was worrying about “what if it goes wrong etc? With my belief system it is keep positive and trust...

This morning I spoke to my mum and she advised that the people didn’t sign and couldn’t get the finance yesterday. I could hear the concern in her voice “we had lost money to different things” now they had to go back to stage 1 and what about the other house they wish to buy and move into, so much doubt ~ understandably. I said to her go and focus on your craft work and ask “how can this work out best for us?” Keep positive and visualise the move with your belongings going into the house new house.

I have just received a call from my mum to tell me that the people who wished to buy their house have got the finances through and they have signed to go ahead... WOOOOO HOOOOO. The right outcome will work out if you just believe and trust, just stay positive we cannot see the big picture but it is working for us if we allow it to manifest and develop.

Surprises.....

I would like to share an event that happened to me this morning as I went to the local shopping centre..... I had just dropped my daughter at work and I decided to collect the dry cleaning and purchase a couple of items from the supermarket.

I pulled into the underground car park, where there is a tight bend which brings you to 2 boom gates. As I was not in any particular hurry, I decided to wait behind the car in front rather than doing the more difficult manoeuvre across to the other gate. It was moving fast enough.... then all of a sudden I heard this loud horn noise come from behind me.... I ignored it and moving up to the gate, the car behind, that had sounded their horn, was alongside me.

Aggressively, she stared at me across the way from her car and then the gates opened together. I gestured for her to move first. I was not buying into her drama and what I observed was interesting, many cars started pulling out in front of her slowing her path. As I parked up and walked up the ramp to the centre I saw the lady again. We looked at each other and then, what happened next surprised me – she said “I’m sorry”......

It is nice when we are surprised .....

Notice the signs......

The start of a new adventure... Through my reflections of what was a journey of discovery.

Finding balance, joy, happiness and Love in all situations. Challenges will always arrive and it is not that they come into your life but how you handle them when they do...

Affirmation:

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you being part of my journey.

Have a wonderful day...... finding your own wings.

Changing your thoughts from NEGATIVE to POSITIVE...

Since my diagnosis of Breast Cancer on the 10th May 2010, my mindset has been only positive. A conscious decision that “I am on a healing journey through to wellness” this has never changed, waived or something I have feared, if anything I have gotten stronger in my outlook. My determination to share with as many people as possible and give a different way of think that “Cancer is only a word, not a sentence”, has been a major part of this healing journey... first and foremost it is about Love. Just as the song says “All you need is love”, “Love will keep us together” there are countless titles about Love. LOVE , LOVE, LOVE , but it is not about others loving you, it is about SELF LOVE, that unconditional love that we find so difficult to do from a realistic/conditioning mind.

EGO ~ everything good outside of you. I would rather think as LOVE ~ limitless Om Vibrates Eternal.

Many people have been conditioned to think negative about themself ~ not good enough , don’t do well enough, haven’t gotten enough, and the list goes on..... I will let you into a little secret; I had that t-shirt too..... I bought into that illusion that has been feed to us as a society most of my life. Blame others, jealousy, envy, sadness, settle for mediocrity because that is all you deserve..... what a crock.!!! For the first time in my life I was going to be the captain of this ship...... yes, I needed people to support me, assist me, have opinions, take care of me, listen to me, hug me, but at the end of the day I was choosing to take responsibility for where and how this journey was going to play out. I was not prepared to be the victim any longer, not for anyone ~ especially not ME....

I didn’t buy into the “PITY PARTY”, my thoughts were take it elsewhere..... Yes, the EGO loves it, it thrives on it, because then it doesn’t have to stand up and take responsibility for the thoughts, actions and fears that it has generated all in the name of CONTROL... Control is powerful and used in the wrong way destroying of souls. Spirit wishes to EMPOWER you, not control.

What I believe is that LOVING who you are unconditionally, with no judgement. Speaking to yourself in a positive and nurturing way is going to assist you to be healthier, more content. If you are looking for happiness outside of you, you will not find it. To have happiness you must BE HAPPY it comes from within you.

"Don't Quit" - author unknown

Today, marks the start of radiation treatment for me. In all I will undergo 25 sessions only having the weekends off. I was given the following verse by a friend during the Christmas break and I would like to share it with you, an appropriate day I thought!!

'Don't Quit'

"When things go wrong as they sometimes will;
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill;
When the funds are low, and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but have to sigh;
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but do not quit.

Success is failure turned inside out;
The silver lining of the clouds of doubt;
And you never can tell how close you are
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit
It's when things go wrong that you must not quit."

NEW YEARS GREETINGS

WELCOME 2011 - Happy New Year

Rather than making resolutions, set intentions for abundance, happiness, health, joy and love for 2011!

What will you be creating for 2011?
