Gordy's back and so is *** Jack***

Seasonal Snowy Greetings to you all! Firstly, my sincere apologies for the very long delay since my last post way back in October. I have been doing a lot of 'self-work' since then, a large part of which, I now realise, was shedding past programming. This, as you can imagine, went back a very long way, as it does with all of us!

Last Hogmanay I went completely teetotal. Alchohol and healing/psychic work do not tend to marry well but experience had also taught me that, for an exorcist, this is a definite no-no.

Having been brought up in a hotel, alchohol had always been part of my life and now, 35 fun-filled years {and a few casks!} later I had decided to totally detox.

Now firstly, let me say that I've always despised reformed letchers, so this is post is not a sermon. I've always loved good wine and various liquors-I'd just decided 7 months before turning 50 that that was it for me.

You may ask yourself:

Will I miss it? Honestly?... strangely, and surprisingly for me, not at all.

Has it enhanced my psychic/healing work?....Beyond my wildest dreams.

Will I feel any better?....Be prepared for a lifetime of 'stuff' you've suppressed coming out, mentally, physically and spiritually over some months and wade through it-you'll come out the other end, and you'll be 'as a child again' a clean, clear , pure beam of lightness!

The Tao of Spider- Patience, Perseverance, Peace.

If you feel your life consists of worrying over a never-ending mountain of 'things that must be done' then it is worth remembering the following:

Don't add yesterday's regrets to tomorrow's worries and carry them today-you can only live in the 'now'.

Yesterday is history, tomorrow a mystery, TODAY is the gift!

Do not look to the distant horizon before you complete the task that lies clearly at hand.

Do your best, then let it rest {Let go and let God..}

You are like an hourglass-only one grain of sand, one task at a time, can pass through the middle of that hourglass.

Luisa's studio open for visitors

Saturday is the start of year 3 of Perthshire Open Studios! Founded in 2008 by my partner, Luisa Ramazzotti, this event has grown almost exponentially to include artists and makers from all over Perthshire opening their doors to the public from 11th-19th September. People will have the opportunity to see everything from woodturning, jewellery, soapmaking, printing, glass, ceramics and textiles to various painting techniques and disciplines. {perthshireopenstudios.com}

On the spiritual front, I have been busy [thus the too-long delay in posting an up-to-date blog!]. The Scottish Healing Centre is running Level 2 in Advanced Healing Techniques at Ethereal Light at The Wellgate Centre in Dundee 0n Sun 19th September 1130 till 1700.

I intend to re-explore the more earth-centered {Gaia} theme of nature soon-just require to get busy with the camera again.

Lunga on cherry blossom

This is Lunga, our wee dachshund, captured at a daft angle. She's quite photogenic as you can see and full of love. She is very sociable and especially enjoys talking to bees and butterflies whom she doesn't understand, but tries to strike up a rapport with them by barking at them. Large beetles also enjoy Lunga's affections, at least up to the point when she can't contain her enthusiasm any longer and absorbs them into her energy field by lovingly eating them. Occasionally, we rescue toads and baby rabbits from the same passionate fate as her appetite seems to know no bounds, extending even to slugs, deer poo [a favourite], horse and cow manure, rabbit droppings and...we also keep chickens! It's hard to believe, I know, that lurking beneath that playful, cute, fluffy countenance is the heart of a ruthless toilet ferret who will stop at nothing to access the most disgusting fare imaginable and consume it with such manic speed and relish as to make you wince. But she is rather cute...don't you think?

Ok, I know it's been a while since I last posted anything sensible {2nd August}. I turned 50 on August the 5th and Luisa organised a big party for me, complete with an ex-Black Watch Piper, so everybody had a few large drams to the tune of 'Heilan Laddie' The Black Bear' 'Farewell to the Rock' etc. All in all a very Scottish celebration. Since then it's been very busy--The McNeill-Wilkie Clinic is now 'The Scottish Healing Centre' and we've just run two capacity workshops in Cleansing, Clearing and Psychic Protection and Advanced Healing Techniques level 1 at Cat McGillvery's wonderful holistic shop and therapy room at ETHEREAL LIGHT in The Wellgate, Dundee. The next workshop is Advanced Healing Techniques level 2 on Sun 19th Sept 1130 till 1700 [full details and costs on Cat's website]. A huge thankyou goes to Phil Brammer of IVY COTTAGE INDUSTRIES for all his help in keeping me to time and procuring good, healthy scotch pies and doughnuts to help me put on some unnecessary weight!

Speccy Nerds comparing dentistry

This is Luisa and I inspecting each other's new 'one-size-fits-all' plastic dentures which we ordered online from Tibet. They come quite soft and malleable in a curious sticky gum which needs to be soaked overnight in petrol to remove any traces of negative energies imbued by frustrated exploited workers. It is very important to insert the dentures correctly the right way up at the first attempt otherwise you have to chew on your tongue to make it soft again. I will attempt to post a proper sensible blog soon.

Meaningless Mental Meanderings In The Meadow.

I've been so busy that my blogging discipline has been blown away in the draught created by my frenetic rush to get nowhere in particular. This is a sorry state of affairs and urgently needs addressing as it's really all about personal discipline, an area I am normally strong in-actually that's rubbish; in fact I am so seduced by my own self-created transient delusions of efficiency that I fail to notice the subtle but obvious signs that Gordy is losing the plot-namely, posting another dull photo of a plant I can't remember the name of, and then wittering on about my rapidly deteriorating state of mind. I really must take some proper interesting photos that people whom have actually got a life take and then say something of interest, hopefully....soon.
