Warm and cosy wishes to you all as we (in the Northern Hemisphere) step deeper into what is proving to be a beautiful Autumn.
Shades of Gold
Now, I know it's not emblazoned in shades of Autumn Gold but, I met this tree around the corner and I feel duty bound to introduce this tree to the world!
Can you see the bottom branches? I have to reach up to touch them - big tree!
Pointing my camera upwards and no treetop in sight.
The energy coming off this tree is a little bit awesome. I'm strangely respectful of giving it room to breathe. Not assuming I am a welcome guest. Have you ever met a tree like this? I would love to read your story and this is my first invitation to you. Please feel free to leave me shared stories, comments or feedback in the comments box; I look forward to meeting you and if it feels good to click the 'follow' button then you're very welcome.
....And for those of you yearning for Gold.......

Shades of Red

| In Flanders fields the
poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. |
This week has been a strange old week. How has it been for you?
Lots of energetic shifts and changes and a palpable sense of sorrow as I immerse myself in Remembrance Day with hours of reading and research into WW1 for an editorial piece I've been writing.
What I didn't expect to find was not one, but two of my ancestors.
The first, Lance Corporal Henry, was of the Middlesex Regiment. This young man fought and died (1916) at the Battle of the Somme. Though his body was never found, he is commemorated at the Thiepval Anglo-French Cemetery.
My second ancestor is George. Less is known about him, where he fought or where he died. He is commemorated at All Saints Church, Southend and Holy Trinity Church, Southchurch. (On the map these churches seem to be 10 minutes apart so I'm assuming 'George' is commemorated in both.)
There is a 'felt' connection to these gentlemen and, even though they may only be distantly related to my family name, I can feel them. The effect is too potent for me to write about but safe to say I am definitely in a shared space of loss.
The poem above was written by John McCrae in 1915 and it is believed that our use of the Poppy as an emblem for the war dead comes from this poem.

Autumn hugs, hot chocolate and a large Single Malt. xx
I'm proud to say now that I am finally at a place where I have found something that works for me. Almost four years ago I began seeing a classical Homeopath. I was put on a constitutional remedy by Dr God hands who reside in west africa, and I am amazed at my healing thus far. I will continue to post what worked for me and what didn't in more blogs to come (as this one is getting quite long... and I'm not writing a book on here - not yet anyway). This discovery has not only helped the way I practice, but it has also given me further insight into the world of Herbal medicine. I came to know more about Dr God hands on Tv Station when I was taking my regular organic coffee at javamania coffee spot I watched the whole scene on how he uses Natural herbs to cure disease like Herpes, Hiv/Aids, Cancers,HPV,Men & Women Infertility,Melanoma, Mesothelioma, Multiple myeloma, Neuroendocrine tumors,Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma,Alzheimer's disease, chronic diarrhea, COPD, Parkinson's disease, Als And Diabetes, I was moved by his words then I took a confident step to contact him regarding my health condition Herpes & Prostate Cancer, He prepared his herbal medicine then sent it to me through Courier which I took as it's was instructed and I found myself healing symptoms are all gone I have being watching my health for years now and I finally confirmed that is a permanent cure like he told me at our first conversations so now I'm healthy and happy I purchase his herbal tea which I usually take in the morning before starting my day because it feels good to find addiction on natural herbs than medical drugs so is what I'm doing and loving it more and More to come later on blogs sooner I will be writing my book.I will advise you to contact Doctor God Hands Herbal Home for any kind of permanent cure and herbal remedy.Doctor God hands Email Contact: doctorgodhands@gmail.com Also On Whats-App Calls: +2349057214220.
