On Thursday night I got a new name. The name came from spirit and was given to Minister Janet Cookson. For a while now I have been a spiritualist and since becoming a member of the SNU I have have wanted to have a naming ceremony. And on Thursday day night it finally happened.
The name I was given was David and it is very fitting for everything that has happened over the past couple of years. When Janet gave me the name she also explained why she was guided to give me this name.
She said:
“I am inspired to give you the spirit name of David.
It’ said that David had many challenges in his life and one of his greatest was when he fought Goliath and won.
As you consider the consciousness of the name David you are reminded of the strength and tenacity which David had. He was a natural leader, his life had been difficult but he never lost his faith in himself and in God.
Connecting with the energy of David helps yow to be independent, resourceful, practical and patient.
You can be stubborn and fussy at times but always learning from your experiences.
As you are developing your spiritual awareness you will find that you will attract those who need your help, be it with a practical issue or a spiritual need.
Trust in yourself and allow the spiritual energies to guide and sustain you as you journey on in this life”.
Minister Janette Cookson

She present me with that on a little scroll and with some flowers and went on to explain why she was guided to give me the flowers she did.
I can’t remember what she said about the flowers but when I got home I put them in some fresh water in an old jam jar. That seemed better to me than to put them in a vase. Here is a picture of the little scroll
Before the service I kept wondering what my spirit name would be. Would it be an angelic name or maybe the name of a crystal or something completely different. When I was given the name David it was not something that even crossed my mind but the moment she said it, it just felt right.
I trust in spirit anyway, so I knew that what ever name they gave me, would be the right one.
A couple of other things have happened this past week and there are a few new friends I have to introduce you to.
This is Chompsky, Gnome Chompsky. He snook into a parcel that Sandra sent me. He was a bit of a streaker when he arrived as he lost all his clothes during the journey. So my fist job was to get him dressed. You can sort of tell from the picture that he likes a touch of glitter. I say a touch but its more like a bucket full.
This week Chompsky has been keeping an eye on me while I’ve been doing my tangling.
I’ve also be joining in with the Sanntangle advent calendar. Following along with a mini tile a day.
That’s it so far. Only 3 days to go then all the tiles are drawn then I need to stick them all down properly and get on with the shading. When that’s done, as long as I remember, I’ll add a picture.
The other person I need to introduce is called Dorris. Dorris is my brand spanking new sewing machine.
Isn’t she pretty. I’ve no idea where the name Dorris came from but it just jumped out at me when I was thinking about a name for her. I’ve been having a play with some of her different stitches and some of her different feet. There are all sorts of things she can do. now I just need to figure out what they are, how to do them and what the are used for. With that, only time will tell. But I am determined to learn different things about sewing.
Dorris is a bit of a Christmas present to myself. I have been saying I want a sewing machine now for a while. That’s after using Katie’s old one to make some masks but with Dorris they will be a million times better and a million times easier to to make. I just have to get on with making some now. Dorris has only been here for a couple of days so I haven’t had much time to use her and the only thing I’ve made so far is a drawstring bag to keep her cables and books and stuff in.
For the past few days I’ve spotted another visitor scurrying along the fence in the back garden.
Anyway as the days will start getting longer again now and it’s nearly Christmas I’ll leave you to it. I wish you and your loved ones all the very best for the festive season and an amazing new year filled with love, light and laughter.
All the best,
Love and light
