I simply can hardly believe its nearly the end of May. You may have noticed by the last few entries, which have been few and far between that I had set myself up with a busy Spring schedule. Well silly me!!! When I was thinking about the Spring last Fall and realized I would not be doing any of the Body Soul & Spirit Expos this Spring, I thought, well I just need to go and visit certain areas. So March saw me in Salmon Arm and Trail (driving from Salmon Arm to Trail in one day - it was quite easy). I was a little tired when I got back from Trail, but thought it was natural as I had been really busy in Salmon Arm and then had three events in two days in Trail.
Two weeks later I took off for the 'big trip'. Victoria and Vancouver. I had a couple of days in Vancouver visiting my family and friends before taking off for the Island for a few days, working and again visiting friends. Then I went back to Vancouver, where I put in long days. Sometimes leaving my friend Sonia's place (where I was staying) at 9.30 or 10.00 am and not getting back until 10.00 or even midnight one night. This resulted in me being exhausted. I was supposed to go visit Bridget's place on Keats Island, but was so exhausted I just came home once all the events were over. I don't remember being this tired. When I got home I did not even have enough energy to go grocery shopping. I shopped for a couple of necessities I needed and then just stayed home. Luckily the sun was out and I was able to sit outside and read my book.
Then my dear friend Ted came in to visit and as I told him how tired I was he said "well your heart is tired - it is a muscle you know". Well his magic healing helped and I began to feel better. (I had been too tired to even phone him for an appointment so his visit was extremely appreciated). I reduced my readings to one per day, I did not have any meditation group (due to a six week busy schedule stoppage) so that all helped. I rested. Then I went to see my chiropractor and she was doing 'heart testing' with a new program she has. I had set the appointment up before going to Vancouver as it had 'felt' the right thing to do. Well surprise, showed some heart anomalies and she put me on a product, which I must say within two days I felt much more energy.
Then came the Royal Wedding, my daughter Bridget flew up to enjoy it with me and even her Dad (who is presently living in Naramata) came and sat up with us till around 3.00am. We lasted till around 4.30am, then off to bed we went to get up again around 8.00am to watch it all again. That evening was the beginning of the Spring Festival of Awareness in Naramata, so dropped Bridget off at her Dad's and I went and became a presenter. I took it fairly easy over the weekend, hanging out a bit and facilitating my workshops, which I'm happy to say were well attended again. I did one on the Tarot and one on Past Life Regression. (Year after year, this workshop is a hit!!)
Then I had one week to get ready to go to Alberta. With stops in Calgary, Edmonton and then in Red Deer I had to ensure I had enough of everything. Again watching the 'energy' levels, as I was still not 100% I managed to get it done before leaving on the following Monday. I drove to Golden, staying the night, managing to have a Hot Tub and enjoying the late afternoon sun there. Driving into Calgary the next day I was so glad I stopped and did not try and 'push' through. The mountains were in their glory with still lots of snow on them, yet the day was wonderful. In Calgary, I did a Past Life Regression Workshop, saw a couple of clients and looked at a clients house she wanted to sell and was having trouble. (It sold within a few days). The second day the wind came up - what a wind. The wind accompanied my visit to Alberta until the 2nd last day when it finally stopped. The weather was warm (liked that) but the wind was something else.
Driving to Edmonton, I stopped and had lunch with Heather (whom I was staying with on the Red Deer) leg and we finalized some details and then soon I was with my friend Vida. Edmonton had some interesting times. I did another Past Life Regression Workshop, a psychic party and several phone consultations. I also discovered something I had been looking for for a long long time. A machine which records directly onto a CD. One of the participants at the Past Life Regression workshop told me about it - its in music stores - I phoned the largest music store in Edmonton, and yes they had one and it was on 1/2 price (as it had been returned but guaranteed to work well) it looks new to me. So that was worth the trip alone as it will save me hours of work, not having to record onto my mp3 player and then making the CD on my computer. Talk about happy!!! (Tonight for instance when I do a channeling your guide evening, it will save me about 1 hour of time.)
Now while I was away, handyman/healer Ted was fixing up my kitchen. It is just terrific. All painted, the brown cupboards now are white, around them a beige and my bright yellow top and bottom. My portable dishwasher is now built in and a small divider has gone which opens up the whole kitchen. New counter tops round off the finished look (oh yes new kitchen taps).
I got home to the long weekend, feeling refreshed and ready to go. Bridget came up for the weekend helping me restore my kitchen cupboard stuff (which were all in the living room) and then she went out to her Dad's as I was busy with clients.
She was also thrilled with the kitchen, and the outside, which Maureen had been helping me with, water the plants while I was away, make sure it all looked nice. The outside porches, especially the back one is really great to sit in now. All ready for summer and my sister Beryl's arrival - June 29th!! (After a few beautiful days, the clouds, rain and cool are back).
So my energy level seems to be coming back. I feel more like 'myself' than I have felt for some time. And I'm promising myself not to do this (the schedule) again.
Hopefully now I'm home, I can catch up with all the bits and pieces which still need doing, ie write on this blog more often, filing and getting my office and consulting room totally organized.
Also I'm hopeful in catching up a few more neglected items. I had an email from a lady who has been watching my site for a new Tarot Card for so long. So that has to be taken care off immediately too....
Enjoy!
Norma.

Toothbrush saves the day
Hi: here I am in sunny, clear skys Edmonton, Alberta. It seemed like a long journey this time, perhaps my age is catching up with me on these long drives. The last two years I have flown here, but because I also am going to be in Calgary for the Body Soul & Spirit Expo next weekend, I thought I would drive to both the expos and visit another good friend inbetween. As I have written both here and on my Facebook page since my return home from N.Z. I was super busy with clients and getting books bound (the issue of being a self publisher) and other bits and pieces when I was finally ready to leave on Monday afternoon.
After my visit to the chiropractor, and purchasing a new phone (my other cell got itself lost somewhere in my car -- or who knows) and I need to have a cell -- plus I hated that other phone so it was a good excuse to get another one -- and I like this one, it even has a camera in it - something I did not realize when I said 'that one'. So I finally left Kelowna at 3.30pm and drove on to Golden. Now I was going to stop at Revelstoke, but when I got there I thought I'm still good, so drove on to Golden and I stayed at a motel I have stayed at before (in fact I was super impressed when they actually had me in their computer - so did not even have to fill out a card). I like this hotel, its clean, reasonably priced and it has a hot tub and pool. So went right away for a hot tub, then back to the room to watch the 2 hour show of 24.
Slept well, got up the next am and looked outside. Snow!!! But that is not where the toothbrush saved the day. As I dried my hair after my shower, I realized I had not packed my hair brush in my overnight case. Had my swimming suit and beach towel, had my toothbrush and toothpaste, (packed in a nice plastic bag) had a change of clothes - but no hairbrush. What was I going to do. I brush my hair after my daily shower and it is done (thank goodness for curly hair). Then I realized my toothbrush is a brush. So I used my toothbrush on my hair (it was before I cleaned my teeth so it was dry and brittle). It did the job! I hardly could believe it. My hair was done.
Soon my teeth were brushed, I had eaten a bit of food at the complimentary breakfast, and regardless of the snow I set off. I was so grateful I had driven onto Golden the night before, otherwise I would have had the whole Rogers Pass to drive in snow. Now I only had a shorter way to drive. Luckily trucks and other cards were on the road too, and we went slow enough that it was safe so did not panic. (It was two years ago at this time that I had the worst drive through a snow storm ever and my nerves have been a bit frayed ever since - which was why I had flown the last two years) but a couple of hours later the snow went away and then everything was back to normal. One thing about Alberta is it has beautiful large roads and once you are through the Rockies fairly straight. I left Hwy 1 and bypassed Calgary to get on Hwy 2. It was the first time I drove that way. Great roads, but the scenery was one of brown rolling hills. Very brown rolling hills. Not much traffice so made good speed, but it seemed to take forever, then finally I was on Hwy 2 heading for Edmonton. Just north of Red Deer there is a rest spot. I pulled in their had a short meditation/sleep phoned Bridget to tell her where I was and then back on the road again.
I was a bit road weary when I pulled into Vida's place around 3.30pm, and just sat and ate and talked as it had been a year since Iwe had seen each other. The time just seems to go faster and faster.
This phase (the driving over) I'm now ready to get the little bits and pieces I still need for the weekend Expo and perhaps today I will go see another movie. I have a 2 hour massage booked for tomorrow. Channeling peoples guides for them (10 of them) tonight. Tomorrow is a past life workshop, so I'm up and at them now.
In the meantime, my toothbrush saved the day, in fact I thought my hair looked the best it has done for a long time.
Thanks for 'tuning in'
Lots of love to you all
Norma.
