Is Patience a virtue?

Tue, 6 June 2017

I don’t know if you are aware of what has been happening in my life over the past couple of months. Luke (my husband) and I decided to go ahead and have a family – due to circumstances I won’t go into here and after a lot of different options we opted for surrogacy in the Ukraine. Our son Hector was born on 7th April 2017 and he is a source of constant delight and joy.

There is a lot of paperwork and officialdom to get a passport for Hector and we needed to do a DNA test before the passport is issued. We did the first test at the end of April while living in Kiev and then decided to travel to Odessa (which is by the sea to wait for the passport and get out of the city) 10 days later we heard that the Ukrainian doctors had messed up the test and it needed to be repeated – annoying, but mistakes happen. Luke and Hector flew up to Kiev for the day to repeat the test, which was then sent to the UK the results. On Friday last week the unthinkable happened when the UK company contacted us to say that the Ukrainian doctors had once again messed up the test – this simply “rocked our world” What I said I could not repeat here, but after a 10 minute swear fest we looked at how this latest travesty would affect us. It would again delay our return back to the UK. More flights to Kiev to be re-tested. I would need to travel back to the UK on my own to facilitate a planned weekend retreat. We would miss 2 funerals for much loved family members and the rising cost of rent here.

Luke and I talked through what needed to happen. We talked, breathed and put our intention to the divine to grant us more patience and grace. Realising we needed to have more faith that whatever happens will be perfect… to let go of our agenda and need to control the outcome and surrender to the divine’s plan. So do I think and feel patience is a virtue – yes I do.

Wild Women, wow, what an awesome weekend away with some truly inspiring women. I've never experienced anything like it before and I'm grateful to have been there. I can't believe the difference it's made in my life, I feel renewed. The processes were so amazing, empowering and beautiful. When Pennie, Tracey and Jill took part in all of them it was wonderful to see them inspire us all. The fire ceremony was the highlight for me as you could feel the sacred space created for us to run with the wolves and howl at the moon it helped me get in touch with my inner feminine power - what a rush!!! Pennie you are a shaman of magical proportions I will definitely be back again, and I cannot thank you enough

I recently attended the Acorn to Oak online training Clear the Ancestral Trauma of the 7 Generations. It was a great day, filled with insights, healing and remembrance of who I authentically am. At the end of the training I could feel the change within me and felt so good to accept it. Highly recommend the course.
