Claudia, Good to hear you too Cinthia.Thanks for your comment Paul
We've just got back from Wales and had a super time, the weather has
been very kind to us. It did actually rain on the last day, as if to
say, Have you got to go home?
My son and I took the dog on the beach at Abergeley (I think I've
spelt that right) and we made some sand angels which was great fun,
even though we did get loads of sand in our hair. The only problem
was, that as fast as we were making the angels, the wind was so
strong, it was pushing the sand hard, and our lovely angels were
being covered very quickly. Robin, our dog, was barking at us as if
to say, What on earth are you up to, I want to play ball!!.
Thank you Katie for helping me to get in touch with my inner child.
She came through loudly while on holiday. I bought the film "Bee"
which I was asked to buy, it was really good,plus it had a moral story
in it. We need nature as much as nature needs us.
For me, the high light of the holiday, was finding lost friends I
hadn't seen for forty years.
When I was nine, I went to a boarding school called Loreto convent in
Llandudno. I decided as we were in the area, I couldn't go home
without visiting the old school and possibily seeing the sisters who
used to run it. The convent is now a conference centre, but they've
changed the interior completely. It's truly beautiful. I was very
lucky to meet a lady who kindly took me round some areas of the school
as I remembered it, and filled her in some parts of the past she
didn't know about. Showing her where my dormitory and class room used
to be. It brought back so many wonderful memeories, even though I was
the most unhappiest child there due to homesickness, I say wonderful
memories, because of the friends I made there.
When the visit finished, I asked the question, were any of the nuns
still around that used to be here? You can imagine my surprise and
delight when Ann said yes, they were in the other house which use to
be the junior school area where I stayed. Ann asked me if I
remembered a sister Antonia, I replied yes. She used to used to be my
head mistress. Sister Antonia is ninety three and still going
strong.! When I met her she gave me a lovely big hug and remembered
me. I also so met a couple of other sisters who were around the same
time I was. It was like meeting my old family again, it was both
emotional and exciting. I spent half an hour with them. Then to put
the cherry on the cake so to speak. Sister Antonia put me back in
contact with a dear friend I hadn't seen or spoken to for over twenty
years. We were at school together, and she gave her address and phone
number. I have since left a message on her answer phone to contact
me.
The beatuiful thing about seeing the convent again and learning about
how it's chnged into a conference centre and what it can do for others
within a community, is that any one can visit it. Sanctuary of Angels
could go there and have a workshop there if they wanted too. I
explained to sisters what I was following and doing with my life and
what I'd joined, when I told them of this group they were deeply
touched and thought what we were doing was beautiful.
I felt the visit to the conference centre was a guided path that day,
to see and meet old friends and have guidance from the sisters. I
will be going back there again, as they hold old girl reunions each
year, I've added my name to the list.
It was a wonderful day, I came out feeling very happy, strong,
confident, and certainly guided. I felt like I was being given
extra encouragement from both the Angels and the sisters to carry on
meeting my goal. This is to teach drama and continue my involvement
with acting, and using the acting to carry messages within my acting
about caring for others and teaching both adults and children drama to
either act if they wish, but to mainly become more confident within
them selves both spiritually and mentally.
This group is certainly doing that for me. Like I said a while ago.
We're a family.
in love and light,
Deborah. xxxxxxxxxxxxxx :)
