		<description>Dear Thelma and Annie

I am sitting at my laptop, my barefeet are tapping as I type, music is all around me, and the composor is greek!!!, and I look forward to dancing with you, but forget judging how good or how bad a dancer you or I are deemed to be, it is how the music makes your Soul dance, there are many ways to get to Heaven.

The music that has just played on my radio...

Lots of love, 
Pandora</description>

		<description>Dear Hildegard, I can really connect to what you say about being non attached to others visions... It is quite like that, although it takes a certain awareness, realization  a subtle detachment from others visions, thoughts, and once we are aware, this changes the energy and makes it easier to detach.

This is strongest towards our families because we love them and feel very close to them and at the same time, can&#039;t believe that they can do that, and this conflict is what causes us to take it as negative energy as I called it.

have fun with your Sulfur Annie!

Love and Kisses.</description>

		<description>Dear, Dear Dear Thelma and Annie

To be Young at Heart can be no bad thing surely???  Who wants to be Old at Heart?  The Soul doesn&#039;t understand time, I agree, so don&#039;t let your heart be fooled:

Fairy tales can come true
It can happen to you
If you&#039;re young at heart

For its hard you will find
To be narrow of mind
If you&#039;re young at heart

http://www.web2txt.co.uk/wap/v3/lyrics.php?artist=frank_sinatra&amp;title=young_at_heart

(Frank Sinatra - who seems to be haunting me at the minute...)

Fate, is decided but Destiny is different, in that we have free will to accept, or decline.  If we decline, are we made to repeat again, more than likely in my opinion and experience of past lives...

(see Paulo&#039;s workshop on the Alchemist Fate vs Destiny)

Lots of love
XXX

p.s.  I am practising my Greek dancing with the beautiful CD you gave me....  we can dance together.</description>

		<description>The wisdom that comes from trying, living, and making mistakes along the way, is the most liberating form of knowledge. It allows us to accept the responsibility that comes with our freedom to seek happiness.</description>

		<description>oh so true.. that the path to wisdom is not being afraid to make mistakes.. BUT what does wisdom in today&#039;s cruel and fast-going world is worth? what does it give us? ok so we are smarter - more wise and so? nobody is gonna bless us for that, nobody is gonna pay us for that, we wont get an award or something.. unfortunately wisdom has lost a lot from its value today... and i say unfortunately cause i really believe in wisdom, and we have all made mistakes in our lives and we will continue to make them.. but not all of us have learnt from them? so does that makes our wiser as well? no offence its just a thought i have...</description>

		<description>Dear Thelma

I have a very good friend who was born on the cusp of Libra, but was told she was a Libran, because of this fact, she felt that she had to be fair and equal to everyone, and lived life in an unhappy marriage for many years, trying to be fair to everyone, but not actually being fair to herself.

I did her chart and it revealed that she was in fact a Scorpio, she was completely shocked and delighted, a little while later she left her husband (who immediately started a relationshp with a younger woman), had a beautiful love affair, moved to the country and has become interested in all things metaphysical.

		<description>It seems that my &#039;lesson&#039; in this life is to learn how to ... allow myself to make mistakes!! I have spent my life holding the ... Scales, up and down... Not for finding the best solution for myself, but not to cause unhappiness to others..
So I do not really have found out what the .. less trodden path was going to offer me!!!
Over- &#039;cautious&#039;,  an uncle of mine has &#039;seen&#039; in my palm and then I have read somewhere that &#039;non-action&#039; is a.. devilish advice!! ;-]
I am, for sure, neither a .. Winner, nor a ...Looser!!

		<description>Yes, Annie... Savita too and all the wol&#039;s are making this an online home, where we indeed do get to the core of what life is all about. There is nothing like it in real life, where somebody will listen to all the crap we&#039;re pouring out here hehe.

Annie! Go to India! You will LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it. I visited Calcutta for 2 months, and it is probably the most adventurous journey I ever did. Perhaps you could even meet Aditya?  Oh,... now I will not stop bugging you till you go :)

Yes, you can look for &#039;Interior Castle&#039; by St. Theresa of Avila. She is an example of a very courageous individual seeking serenity, to the point where she often preferred to be alone, from being together with people. Also, if you read this book. Think about it...she had vowed to be silent, she hardly talked at all, just one hour every night for recreation. To me, it is impossible to shut my mouth :)

And yes, we should surround ourselves with positivity, and shy away from all that negative energy trying to destroy us. We are only human beings, and do hurt each other sometimes even here online, most of the time unintentionally I believe.  Please do always let me know if I make the mistake to misunderstand you my dear little sister... That way we can clear the air, and keep on blossoming.

I got a post card unexpectedly from Australia today...my god people are traveling so much these days. Isn&#039;t it wonderful!!!

Love and lots of Admiration,
Heart</description>

		<description>Hi Annie, what is going on? are you leaving the blog, are you getting trouble from your family?  I missed your story but seems to be.  
Going to India sounds like a very good idea, I know you will love it there, it will be a place where you can really be free and create the music you like, away from the pressures and negating energy!  Trust me you will love it, even though I know you&#039;ll miss the blog terribly!  I will miss not seeing you here, will not be the same without you! But it will be liberating!
Love ya!

		<description>Hi dear Annie,

I just read your story about maybe going to a yogi resort in India, I just been to one on a tropical island in Thailand for 2 months and I can really recommand it! Not just this specific one, I think the bottomline is more or less the same in any of those places in Asia, but just the experience of it. Yogi people are generally very sweet and open hearted, and you&#039;ll have plenty of time and mostly PEACE to find some Happy Shiny Sparkles back within yourself again. Yoga is an excellent way to find that... I think you should go for it!
Love Mariëlle</description>

		<description>It takes &#039;wisdom&#039; to minimise the number of mistakes we make.  It all depends on the decision-making process.  We must be careful and vigilant because some mistakes could be costly e.g. emigration to another country (leaving all behind in search of a better life and then being disappointed) or in life-threatening surgical procedures ( do the benefits really outweigh the risks?)

It is only when we are satisfied that we have weighed all the pros and cons of our decision that we can go forward with our eyes open and risk making a mistake. It would be naive to do the contrary. 

If we make a mistake, no big deal, for as others have said, we learn from our mistakes and become &#039;wiser&#039; and so the cycle continues &gt; &gt; &gt;</description>

		<description>You are so right, Heart. We are blessed here every day by Annie&#039;s presence. It is hard to imagine how the exquisite beauty of such a one as this could be missed by those closest to her. 

Just remember, Annie, that you are not alone in this experience, as Jesus himself relates a similar experience in the Bible. He says: &quot;A prophet is not without honour, except in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.&quot; (Mark 6:4) It is their great loss if they do not recognize the light which shines in their presence. Dullards are bound to rail against the brilliance of that which they do not understand, but do not let their dullness dim that light which shines so clearly from within you. Shine on!!!

Much Love,
Savita</description>

		<description>Dearest Annie,

Reading your post to Thelma has touched my heart, as previously when you have talked about your relationship with your parents. Not to be accepted for the way one is, often make us think we are making mistakes, when in fact it is your parents making the mistake for not being able to appreciate the very lovely Annie, we here in the blog get to ENJOY each day.  A philosopher, Sartre said this; The enemy is the other, and what he means is nobody can understand our self better than our self. I can blame your parents for being so ignorant, they don&#039;t even see the treasure in their own daughter, but then I do the same mistake myself, judge some person, only later to find out I was wrong.  

Myself, I have had the scary opportunity to live alone, and in my daily life have time to myself, without constant opinions from the others, where I in peace and quiet can discover myself if you like.  The image of people on a spiritual journey going to the desert, to be completely alone with the Divine and Evil, is a true way to find what YOU WANT, with no influence from anybody else. So, if possible dear Annie, is there any way you could get away from your family for awhile? Just get a break from those negative forces holding you, lovely butterfly soul captured? If not, remember you can always build your &#039;Inner Castle&#039; (St Teresa of Avila), the mental place you can always retreat to, where nobody else can disturb you, your own treasure, where you are hundred percent confident you are doing just what you want to do, and what you believe is the right thing.

Fly sis, fly.....

Love and adore you every word you say,
Heart</description>

		<description>El camino hacia la sabiduría no implicaría necesariamente adquirir conocimientos, ni habilidades interpersonales,ni know how to do it.
La sabiduría sería alcanzada a través de experimentar el dicho conocimiento. Sin acción, no hay conciencia ni conocimiento verdadero. Sin acción no hay posibles errores a que temer. El pensamiento no modifica las cosas, solo las acciones tienen un resultado real sobre las cosas de este mundo. Durante nuestra vida, pues, creo que tenemos que arriesgar a experimentar y no ceder ante los fracasos. Besos!</description>

		<description>Dearest Annie, thank you for your &#039;wise&#039; comments above.. They made me look deeper into life.. It is not only our parents who are not able, sometimes, to look and love us as we are really inside.. They want us to ... respond to their ideal and image of how a daughter, a wife, a mother, a husband should be. They -and sometimes we- may want our loved ones to meet the IMAGE that we have in our minds.. Some, like you think that they are not loved..
Some, like me [in this respect, I think we are different!!!] think that others are ... blind, deaf and ... insensitive!! I never blame myself!!!! Ha, ha.. I owe this self-cconfidenceI think to my wonderful grandmother and parents!! I could feel and read into their eyes complete love, acceptance, tolerance and .. even .. adoration for whatever I was saying or doing!!! They knew also how to .. accept my failures or mistakes. They made me react with humor and ... confidence. There is nothing worst than ruined dreams and broken wings ... So this &#039;guardian protection&#039; I carry on my Aura and in my Heart, even whenever I had to face disasters.. It is the art of .. dreaming, flying and be reborn every minute. 
You KNOW your grandmother was ... adoring you. For her You were the ONE. There were no comparisons! ;-] It is hard to make children being competitive. But even harder to have a .. twin brother or sister, because comparison is ... inevitable, but wrong.. Because you may have shared the same &#039;womb&#039; for nine months but you are different Souls!
About &#039;Denial&#039; I think it is the &#039;lesson&#039; for everyone never to cease listening to our hearts!! Never to deny our true self and live the ... lives of other&#039;s Images.
Not to have our lives .. changed for ...
LOVE,
Thelma xxx</description>
