Keeping up a blog for a year is no mean feat, and I put other things ahead of keeping this blog going last year. After returning from Thailand. I went house-hunting, visited family in the UK, bought a house with my partner and moved in, went to the UK again for almost three months to be with my mum, dad and family through mum's tragic illness and death, then came home and quietly enjoyed our new home surrounded by nature while allowing the grief of losing a parent to ebb and flow through me as I digested last year's experiences bit by bit. Of course, it is an ongoing process, but being consistent in my qi cultivation practices has helped me to keep an even keel and remain grateful for all the wondrous things that life has and is providing to me and those around me.
Revisiting this photo gives me so much joy. The life force of this ancient being is so steady and sturdy, and runs deep. I draw on the example of elephant qi today to give me the strength and majesty to meet all my daily tasks efficiently and graciously!
And I draw on the love of my mother, now and always ..................................
