i am blessed to be on Pixie Campbell's Soulodge 
i am learning things that make my bones happy...

that coming home kind of learning that makes me feel like i am where i am meant to be and all is unfolding as it should

I have had some amazing things happen to me while journeying and learning from this generous and loving and funny woman...

above are some feather wands i made under Pixie's instruction... i laid all the equipment out on the tea trolley which belonged to my Grandma, having her there with me was good..  and made these wands for smudging ... the magic of the feathers captivated me and i was thinking about how i need to learn more about the feathers and the birds....

about 2 months before the soulodge started my husband was driving a rural road came across a kahu that had been hit by a car and had its wing severed.  We have an amazing bird recovery centre here in Whangarei and Simon took the kahu and his severed wing up to Robert who runs the place.  I couldn't imagine how hideous it must have been for the bird to be injured like that, what his chances were... and then i got a picture in my head of Pixie using a wing wand to smudge.  It felt like Simon had found the bird to help it and i felt like maybe i should ask for the wing.... but i didn't know how to treat it so trusted that this was not the right time    

I had been toying with the idea of going up to see and asking Robert if he could share some of his knowledge with me -- we have been up there when the children were little and watched him as he was holding and patting a kahu (a native hawk) that he had gotten only the day before... the bird totally trusted him it was a miracle to me...

And there, today, in the supermarket, after a long and frustrating trip to town with lots of seemingly unnecessary interruptions was Robert!  I felt like i was being pushed forward with a "what are you waiting for"...  i asked him and he said he would be happy to talk with me.

things could have gone more smoothly in town and i would have been home earlier and not seen Robert.
Simon could have taken a different road that day.

But i choose to see signposts.

And i am choosing to take those paths...

i don't know where they are going to lead but is that really the point

when synchronicity happens 

i prick up my ears like a thirsty horse that has heard a faint babble from a stream and i start to trot....
