Dear Yogis… have you seen this, have you thought about it?

In order to be born, you needed:

• 2 parents
• 4 grandparents
• 8 great-grandparents
• 16 second great-grandparents
• 32 third great-grandparents
• 64 fourth great-grandparents
• 128 fifth great-grandparents
• 256 sixth great-grandparents
• 512 seventh great-grandparents
• 1,024 eighth great-grandparents
• 2,048 ninth great-grandparents

For you to be born today from 12 previous generations, you needed a total sum of 4,094 ancestors over the last 400 years.

Think for a moment – How many struggles? How many battles? How many difficulties? How much sadness? How much happiness? How many love stories? How many expressions of hope for the future? – did your ancestors have to undergo for you to exist in this present moment…

 

SATURDAY….

I had a lot of fun, we did a try-on of my garments for the fashion parade, because my inspirations are McQueen and Ralph, I wondered if they would be enjoyed.  When I unveiled them, there was surprise, but when they were worn, WOW! what an impact they made.  So I have great hopes for the parade.  They are not the usual “tie-dye”.  These are great, these are UP-CYCLED GARMENTS inspired by couture…. I think I have cracked it!  Please come along and support us.  Saturday 15th July at 1pm at Jubilee Hall in Macedon (next to The Mount Theatre).

The photo on the left is actually a McQueen creation from the latest exhibition at The National Gallery – unfortunately, there will be no armadas in this show from me – maybe the next one.  This is very Marie Antionette don’t you think?

Art to Wear flyer 2023   If you want to come to the parade you will need a ticket.

Dear Yogis,

As the economy gets more difficult, clients are booking for the Tarot.  Thank goodness the need for “tall dark and handsome” persons has diminished in favour of “resources, challenges and lessons”.  If you want clues about moving forward, please make an appointment – give me a couple of options.

I am here most days, and can be available on the weekends and on zoom.  email: yogafirst2@bigpond.com

You can also find me at The Mount Macedon Art Gallery (down the lane beside The Trading Post) on Sunday the 2nd July between 10am and 1pm. I am on the desk, so no tarot readings, but you can touch base and book.

YOGA

Unexpectedly more students enquiring for class, and I have both classes full on Monday… Wednesday class is stable at the moment.

NEW CLASS?  How about Thursday morning for a 10am yoga class here at the studio?

Dear Yogis,

Wednesday, Wednesday…. the days pass so quickly. Terms end – almost.

Things are changing – couples spitting, homes selling, people passing on… everything making for big change.  When there is a separation and divorce (whatever form it may take) keep in mind that the person you are leaving, you asked to be with you (when you yourself were on “the other side”),  so that you could learn the things you can’t learn on your own, patience, calm, or whatever… I am doing more “past life” readings and tarot as people seek the next step.

Sometimes you need to return to earth with a special angel who will do the things needed to teach you the lessons nothing else could teach you.  What would Jesus be without Judas for instance?  You may not like the lessons you need, and it may take you a very long time to learn them, but don’t hate your teacher – honour him/her, and “may you always be friends” as it says in the Hindu wedding ceremony.  No “till death do us part” for them, they are much too realistic and forgiving.

If you don’t learn, if you don’t want to learn, or if you don’t know there are things to learn, you will get to come back and try again.  Lucky you!

The lady in the photo is a gypsy (or a witch), hence the black hat.  She may have had a broom which was a sign of a “brewster” –  a lady brewer.  These courageous stalwarts of communities who made brews when village water was dangerous and dispensed herbal remedies, were so successful that they were burned and dunked by the church or jealous men.  Nothing much changes does it?

ART

Here is the painting I am restoring – looks a whole lot better don’t you think.   You could hardly tell there was a painting there in the beginning – you could just see the tip of the mountain peak through all the grime.  Now you can see that it is in fact a mountain scene.  Painted by a New Zealand artist from the 1920’s, I think it is going to look splendid when it is reframed.

Now for the frame.  I will show you when it is completed.  If you have a painting that needs restoring, come see me.
