There is
so much kindness in the world and it makes living a joy. I have just spent almost two hours replying
to all the kind messages that came in following my soulful spirit post
yesterday. Death is not an easy subject
to write about and not one I had anticipated writing about during this year
long project. It has been impossible to
avoid with two tragic deaths in as many weeks so I tackled the subject with
some trepidation. It would appear, from
the feedback, that my words were welcomed and helpful so I am, of course,
relieved and pleased both at the same time.
Paul's candle remained lit all day and well into the night. In the darkness it looked truly beautiful and
I can't help thinking that rather captured his soul.
The kindness
continues as pieces of writings are coming in for the launch of one soul many hearts. Not only is it kind of you to
share your stories but many of you are kind in your words for me. They are really not necessary as I consider
it a privilege to be the editor of a site that hopes to share all that is good
and positive in the world. I am working
hard at promoting the site and about to enter the world of squidoo which is
already proving an interesting experience as I grapple with their
software. I am quite sure everyone else
manages quite well but sometimes my brain just can't compute. With a good dollop of determination I am
almost ready to publish and will post the link here. I do wonder if I might ask a favour? The best way to promote this new site is one
email link at a time that is targeted to friends or family who you believe will
appreciate what we are trying to do. If
every one of you could send such an email the site might get more readers once
it launches and I might get more people willing to share their experiences
and/or creativity.
And still more kindness......
The kindness came wrapped up in cushions this morning when Me Postman delivered two wonderful butterfly cushions handmade by the lovely Di. The larger one is for a raffle prize at our final fundraising event for the butterfly tree charity and the smaller one is a gift for me. I am not sure Di's kindness knows any boundaries and I am most certainly blessed to have her back in my life. There was a little tear shed for this kindness before the maker in me starting looking closely to see what stitches she had used on the detailing! Thank you so much Di and my little cushion will be going in my little studio.
So with
all this kindness a girl can not help but be lifted and for that I will be
eternally grateful. Even last night when
I was tired and feeling a bit emotional a brilliant facebook banter broke out
with two of my old school friends and I giggled my way through the rest of the
evening. Paul and I used to laugh so much
so it was a very fitting end to a day that blessed him as he takes his next
journey.
I worked
my way through yesterday because that was the only way I knew how to cope and,
as a result, got much done. I have begun
the huge task of creating a Pinterest board of my favourite photographs from
the Scottish island project. I am only
back to the beginning of July but take a look and see what you think. The point of the board is for it to act as a
memory board that we can all visit from time to remind us of the year with
Scottish island mum. Pinterest will be a
major feature on my new site one soul many hearts as this board will aim to
share ideas, projects and inspiration that may be of use to the readers. This board is also underway so have a look to
see how it is shaping up. This board
will be changing constantly but the link will always be on the right menu of
the home page.
Moving
forward my homework this week for my course with Waverly Fitzgerald is all bout
seasonal wreaths so I am creating a piece that I can also share here. Wreaths are my complete passion and as we
start to prepare to launch whimsical wreaths they are in the front of my
mind. A timely homework and something I
look forward to sharing.
I am on
my best behaviour at the moment because Molly's boyfriend, Scott, is visiting. Need I say more?.......
Until
tomorrow. Xx
