How quickly plans change

I recently read a book called “Pussy” by Regina. It was a profound book for me. Now bear with me – the name can be a bit confronting for some, but hang in there, please.

This book was about tapping in to intuition. On one night, while doing my own form of meditation, I checked in with my “intuition” and asked a very simple question, which was “What should my next move be?” This question I asked about 3 weeks before finding out that my mom had stage 4 cancer.

The answer I got back from my intuition came within around 5 minutes. And the message was clear as can be. “Go away. Clear your diary. Go now”

Wow! I mean, how could I do that? I was in the middle of launching a new website. I had just launched my membership site, and now my intuition is telling me to clear my diary? How the hell was I meant to make that a reality!

Anyway, I decided to move heaven and earth to follow through on the advice from my intuition, although I had no idea why I was doing it, or what it was meant to be for.
So I began to plan my trip. I cleared my diary, and starting letting my clients know that I would be away until the middle of January.

I made plans to drive to Queensland. I would be leaving on the 25th November and I did not plan to be back until mid-January.

I was so excited about my trip. I would be travelling without my husband and sons. It would be my very first Christmas away from them.

So, when I received the call from my uncle, on the 19th November to tell me that my mom was in hospital, and I needed to make some decisions about her care, I had nothing to cancel. I was already available to drop everything and leave.

It was on the 21st of November that I left Australia, to see my mom. Just 3 days before I was due to leave on my epic trip across Australia. Now, here I was, flying across the oceans to reach my mother.
Did my intuition know that I needed to be somewhere so important that I would clear my diary for a nearly a full two months?

I totally believe in intuition, and I believe that everything happens for a reason. Had it not been for me clearing everything, I would have been massively challenged to come to terms with dropping everything.


I now check my intuition on everything that I do. Sometimes I doubt my own wisdom, and when I do, I find myself feeling like everything is too hard. 

When I follow my intuition, I am always guided to the best outcomes for myself and those around me.

Finding Our Feet

I have zero medical experience. I have never been chronically ill. I have known people who were ill, but no-one very close to me has experienced serious illness. I guess in this way, I have been lucky to not have had to experience the pain associted with seeing a loved one hurting. The first time the 'C' word was mentioned, my heart stopped. How could this be happening to my mother. This wasn't a stranger whose post I was reading on FaceBook. This was my mother. The only woman in the world who had known me since birth and the woman who had put up with all my crap, who had always been a shoulder for me to cry on, and who had always been there when I needed her the most. It was my uncle who had said to me on the phone that I needed to make some decisions about my moms health. Me? Why me? Because I am the oldest of 3 children to my mother. That is just how it goes. Our first week in South Africa was a world wind. Thank goodness for my uncle and aunt accommodating us on...

Was I an enabler?

I have known for a long time that prescription medication has its place. And I have also for a long time doubted whether ongoing prescriptions are necessary. I mean, doesn’t the body have all it needs to heal itself? And doesn’t any illness we have, come from either abusing our bodies in some way, or not listening to the warning signs? I am not judging, and at the same time I am furious. Furious at myself, and furious at a medical system that continued to prescribe anti-depressants and seizure medication to my mother.  Not for 6 months, not for a year, or even 5. No, that would be almost understandable. 24 years of medication for conditions that were not even confirmed in the first place? That seems near on criminal to me.  Yes, initially the medication may have been required, but to my knowledge there has only been one doctor who questioned my mothers scirpts, and that was a very good friend of mine, and doctor, Nijole Lloyd.  My mom travelled to A...
