A surprise in the mailbox :)


When I started this blog about 3 months ago I didn't know how important it would become for me. In fact, I created this almost 3 years ago, started writing a couple of posts and couldn't bring myself to let them out in the open and ended up deleting them. It just wasn't the right moment. But I liked the name and kept the blog (closed to all but to myself).

Then one day, it seemed right. I can't tell how or when I decided to reopen this and start blogging about my little things--my creations, my life, my illness and getting back to being healthy. Yes, because even if it's only been a week since radiation ended I know my health is coming back.

And I'm so glad that I did!

Have you ever heard of Synchronicity? I first read about it in Jean Shinoda Bolen's book "The Tao of Psychology - Syncronicity and Self". It's a fantastic book, like all her other books, definitely worth reading. To make a long story short, I think this is what happened here. 

I started blogging at the right time.  When I needed something to hold on to, that would make me feel good.

Remember this post?

Yes, you're right. Today I got mail again!


I thought I recognized the handwriting on the envelope and the Royal Air Mail stamp rang a bell and when I opened it there it was, MemeRose's beautiful potholder!





My mouth dropped open when I saw it, this totally inexpected gift... of course I recognized it at once!


There it was, perfectly wrapped in lavender tissue paper and with a sweet card with a cat  on it (made me think of my Smartie...) and some lovely words on finishing my battle again. 


And doesn't it look perfect in my new kitchen, next to the "Lenço dos Namorados" dish towel I just got?


Do I need to say anything? My heart is completely full, right now.


With this blog I have met the most wonderful people, people I would be so happy to meet in person one day--people I hope to meet in person, some day! 


From all over the World, from close and from far, I've had so much support and encouragement throughout these past few months. Thank you all, my dear friends! I like to think I've been able to support someone too (my dear friend Marjo). If this isn't synchronicity working, I don't know what it is...


I have learned and seen gorgeous things you all make and share with all of us. And hopefully will be able to make a few of my own, too.


So... thank you, MeMe Rose, this is a most treasured gift and I will think of you every time I see it (nooooooo I don't dare use it!!! lol) and than all of my e-friends who have been here with me for the past 3 months.  You're precious and I'm such a lucky girl! 


And I promise tomorrow I will be sharing some more pictures of my new kitchen :)

    Don't you just love to know positive people!. I'm going to look for the book. Sounds interesting. You can't MAKE synchronicity!

  5. Wow, that arrived quickly... I only posted it Tuesday! I posted it before I read your comment saying you liked it and also
    saying they are too nice to use. If I'm honest I'm very pleased my first potholder has found a new home where it will not be used!! I'm happy I was able to send you a little surprise and your post has brought a tear to my eye. x
