So, 2020 - you were a delight weren't you?? Well, actually in a weird
way yes you were to me. I've always been a creative little hippy soul
who's happier picking daisies than growing show-stopping roses with fancy names
and oddly the chaos forced me to re-evaluate my life, my dreams, my hopes and
examine what is it I really want?? You know as a kid teachers ask 'so,
Angela, what do you want to be when you grow up??' Don't think you were
supposed to ask erm do I have to grow up?? Why?? And please don't think
me trying to find the positives is negating in any way the truly awful year
that 2020 has been in so many ways for so many people around the world, the devastating
effects will be felt for many years, if not decades to come and only time will
tell what the true cost to the world it's caused.
So back to the question of what do you want to be when you grow up, I
always wanted to be either a writer or an artist but I didn't quite know what
sort and that's because I'd not been introduced to the world of glass fusing as
a child. I was fortunate enough to meet some incredibly talented people
and they taught me bits and it just set off a chain of wonder that has never
quite been resolved, until now. Due to the pandemic and all the world
slowly shutting down I recognized very quickly that without some creative
outlet and self-imposed routine I would, ever so slowly, go completely mad
(hecklers that know me in real life can pipe down at the back!!) I did some
research and purchased a kiln, I then spent many months learning, testing,
trying, improving until I was at the point that actually I have some pretty
decent ideas and the quality is good.
There are other aspects to my character some may not be familiar
with. Since my late teens I have read tarot and been aware of the other
worlds that merge into ours like auras, crystals, Angels, tarot and many other
disciplines. Some kindly pat me on the head as this little pixie of
hippyness wrapped up in paint-covered dungarees but knowing deep down I'm very
happy in my own little world.
I was fortunate enough to attend a psychic development course at Equinox locally and
this helped me gain confidence to use Angels, understand their place and help
for us and also started to expand my ideas of work I could make in 2021.
I've always been drawn to colours, to chakras and always known I hear things
that aren't necessarily there but it's just me and as they say in Practical
Magic, you can't practice magic while you're looking down your nose at it so
one of my things this year is be more open about that side of my life and how
it influences me.
My personal card for the year is the Ace of Cups, and it didn't really
come as a shock.
She is the start of an emotional journey and I think she represents my creative journey and the fact that I'll have to believe in myself more and more as I go along and that's ok, that's a good thing. Feelings that aren't quite explained yet but will be in time which is why I like it. And the blog will document my interest in Angels, in nature, in colour, in self healing and in making fun things as we go through this new year. I hope everyone has managed to find some positives from last year even if right now they may still be hard to find, especially for those grieving people they've lost, look after each other,
