Closing Down Stock Clearance
It is with great sadness that I am closing down my Online Shop. I have been running it for over three years now. Sales have dried up over the last six months and I have decided to cut my losses and concentrate on my Complementary Business. I am having a massive stock clearance so if you fancy grabbing a bargin check it out.

Not only are they beautiful they are powerfully charged. The most popular being love, healing and prosperity (not surprising in the current financial climate.)

I am finding it hard to remain positive today, my husbands MS is bad at the moment and the news on his Tysabri Treatments is not good. I find it so difficult to talk to anyone without upsetting them in the process. I am desperately trying to occupy myself but it's getting more difficult. When will they find a drug that can help slow down MS without having a side effect of...Death, or PML as it is otherwise known.
After a morning spent on the computer messing around with HTML codes and with little really achieved. I would like to get someone else to do it but at £50 a pop, it's cheaper to do it myself. Anyway, about to enter the garden where my time is better spent, just finding it hard to get going. Feel so tired and drained. Wish in some respects I had a 9-5 job, but the way things are going at the moment there is no way I could work and care for my husband. I love my work as a complementary therapists but work is sporadic at best. Why is there no help for carers out there, we can't work 9-5 because we're so often needed at home. I have a degree in English and History and have no way of using it for any type of job near me, it is so frustrating.

Working hard at the moment, seem to be busy in the garden now the warmer weather has arrived. Planted out some more veg, and tried to salvage the half eaten Brussels Sprouts. My father in law has very kindly made a cold frame from the remnants of his knocked down conservatory. I am still on the lookout for some pots to home my herbs for this year, seem to be running out of space in the raised beds.
I am nursing a stiff neck today, massaged five people last week and cricked my neck. I have written to several GP practices, I was surprised to find out that there are no complementary services offered by most practices. When I had a frozen shoulder last year, I was in agony I rang my GP to try and find a local therapists they had no information and suggested pain killers. This seems like response given to many, take two painkillers and come back if it's not better. Massage is such an effective tool for musculo-skeletal problems such as bad backs and stiff shoulders. Surely it could save them money in the long run if they referred patients to see a local therapist. The same goes for ear syringing, it is less painfull and more effective to have Thermal Auricular Therapy (or ear candling) I understand many people are sceptical but these treatments do work and given prescription charges today, would be cheaper in the long run.

Halloween
So halloween is nearly here again, I have harvested the pumpkin from the garden and all that is left is to rummage the box of decorations out of the attic. I love halloween perhaps more than my daughter, each year we dress up and tell spooky stories by candlight, only thing is this year she is going to a party and I will perhaps have to act like a grown up for a change.
I have always been interested in history and mythology and any pagan events are so steeped with both. I am lucky in the fact that I have a very open minded husband who tolerates me. I have always felt a part of nature, and I believe in the cycle of life in the fact that everything is connected. I believe we should take the time to aknowledge our respect of the world we live in. Samhain marked the first day of winter when the hearders led the cattle and sheep down from their summer hillside pastures to the shelter of stable and byre. The hay that would feed them during the winter must be stored, tied down securely against storms. Those destined for the table were slaughtered. Familes would work together baking, salting meat, and making preserves for the winter. Life was so much harder, but people were more connected with the world they lived in.
All of this meant that the ancient cultures were all too aware of life and death, Samhain was a time when the veil between life and death was fragile, a time when spirits could come through and communicate with the living. So strong was the people’s allegiance with Samhain that the Christian Church renamed it All Saints Day, in later times the day following Samhain became known as All Souls or All Hallows. As well as all the other traditions on All Hallows Eve such as, carving a pumpkin, apple bobbing, Trick or Treating.
Whatever your beliefs Halloween is a time for family, we no longer have to gather in food or animals but I doesn't mean we can't appreciate the struggles we all overcome in life to be together.
