Angels, Connecting, Creating, Bead Babies and Protein Balls
November was an interesting month. This is a little journey with me, on which I hope you find something that can assist you in some way…
I was recently asked if I would help out with some fund raising here in my home suburb of Tascott, NSW, where I have my peaceful Kinesiology treatment space.
Yes of course, I said I would love to help out by baking some goodies to sell at the cake stall.
This stall in the past was organised, manned, and baked for by an amazing lady called Nicole Falconer, an athlete from Tascott. Sadly, she was unable to do the stall this year due to a relapse in her breast cancer.
So, the whole community came together and planned the cake stall in her honour, which she was more than happy for her name to be used to support it this year.
It was planned for Saturday 2nd December at the fantastic local supportive locomotive station café.
Tasks were dished out to all those who so kindly gave their time and resources.
All the preparations were going well.
So many cakes were being baked, and many were baked in advance and frozen in preparation.
I had planned to make some protein balls and chocolate bean cake on the Friday night before.
The First Angel Gets Her Wings
Sadly, on the Tuesday in the week leading up to the stall, a message went out to the cake group that Nicole had passed away.
There was shock, disbelief, tears, and a well of emotion around someone so young dying.
The well of emotions drove everyone onwards even more, to make this cake stall something truly special to honour her memory.
Then, on the Wednesday that week, I received another message…
Another Angel‘s Powerful Love
My ice skating coach, previous client, a young mother of 2 teenage boys and a 15month old daughter had also passed away.
I had heard on the ice skating grapevine that she had cancer. However not once did I imagine she might not survive due to her thriving spirit.
After my shock, disbelieving tears and larger well of emotion, I needed to meet, understand and do what I needed to do, to assist my emotions so I could be present and clear for my clients and for the bake off.
I put on the oil diffuser, I sat down, I relaxed, I journaled, I meditated, I held acupressure points.
I did whatever I needed to do to be able to process my feelings, thoughts, emotions, and understand what was going on in my body.
Thank goodness I did.
The clarity and understanding that came from doing this helped me significantly.
I was able to… hear my questions of why… comfort my discomfort… and… open my heart to embrace what was truly special… what I had now…
I could sense her gifts of love, feel the power of her love, and listen to powerful and wise guidance.
I was first guided to dedicate my first creative group, the following Wednesday evening, in Christine’s honour. I would gift and share it with ice skating friends who knew and loved her*.
Magic In The Protein Balls
Secondly, that evening, when I was making the protein balls, I thought of Christine and Nicole, and why I was making them.
I had already spent some of the week activating the nuts to raise their energy, and make them bio-available and easier on the digestive system. After a last minute run to Aldi for more dates, I began…
It was like I could feel a massive pair of wings warming my back, as if Christine’s spirit was there with me, infusing her love into the balls.
She’d always made her and her family bliss balls, as she called them. Healthy options, was something she valued, and strived to look after her and her family with.
Like Nicole, both of them were athletes. Although I didn’t really know Nicole, I have heard she aimed for healthy options, to fuel her and her passion of running.
I’m not kidding you, I have been making proteins balls for years, just see the date of my other recipes, and ask my friend who’s made and swears by them!
However… it was as if these balls were produced with magic!
I relaxed, I centred myself, I breathed in the Magnify Your PurposeTM essential oil diffusing softly in the background. I went with my inner guidance and the warm glow from Angel Christine, and together we made our recipe.
I wrote down ingredient by ingredient (thankfully!), so I could replicate them to be good enough to sell.
(The recent batch I had made, came out a little like fudge. They were delicious, however, were a little sticky, and I wanted to avoid a trail of fingerprints at the stall!)
I remained in my calm centre, ignoring the fast disappearing time, enjoying the process as I trusted.
When it came to rolling out the balls… crunch time… yay, they worked!
So, here is the recipe for those who want to have a go at making these yummy creations yourself and see how you feel when you connect to your heart and soul. Click on the following highlighted words (the link)… Angel Christine’s protein balls.
As one, Angel Christine and me managed to make 70 consistent large sized balls, that stuck together neatly, and held together! Firm not solid, soft not gooey, and they tasted alive and vibrant.
I even managed to throw together a quick batch of Cacao Bean Cakes just because I had said I would. For the first time, dolloping the mixture out into pastry cases rather than my usual pyrex square dish cake. My cases just happened to be pink, what a score!
I wanted to ensure there was a good selection for the Gluten Free, Raw Sugar free, Dairy free people, giving more options. I knew there would be lots of vegan cakes there because Nicole was a vegan, so others were baking those for the first time in her honour, more brave souls.
Before going off to bed, I put some organic coconut cream into a glass container in the fridge, as I had high hopes of icing the cup cakes to make them look pretty enough to buy!
The morning came, I woke up at 6am thinking about how I could have a go at turning the icing pink with some organic dried beetroot I had in the fridge. After an hour, and soggy icing blobs later, I decided to abort that idea and left them plain. I thought I could just gift them to volunteers to chomp on and keep them going.
Finding my calm centre once more, and opening my heart and soul, I managed to find pink cake tins that I had never used, the exact size and shape I needed to transport and present all the goodies in. Another score!
Off I went, and ended up adding the cup cakes to the fundraising sale, after they had the tick of approval from my tasters!
What a wonderful group of community members that came together as a team for Nicole’s cakes for cancer support stall. All of the cakes went, due to the huge support from locals and others who travelled near and far to support this worthy cause. It was a very heart warming event to be a part of.
There was also a raffle which included local businesses gifting their time, skills, beautiful artwork or funds, and also locals donating vouchers, it truly was a treasure trove.
I gifted a Kinesiology session, which was won by a very special recipient. I found myself called upon many a time to explain what Kinesiology is, whilst performing my role as a door marshal, gently asking people to wait until the numbers reduce inside the café space, until…
A Third Angel Is Reunited With His Love
I had to excuse myself during the morning when I saw who was ringing me.
The shock wave hit, followed by a very deep breath.
Peter, my vibrational therapist from NZ whom I had known for years, and began my healing of chronic fatigue, had just died on Thursday.
Another deep breath in… then deeper out.
I focused once more on centring myself and feeling my energy.
I was determined to hold it together for the event at hand, to be present for those around me, until I was back home and could then allow the emotions to be heard.
When I was able to acknowledge and empty out all of the emotions of the day, I imagined, and felt him smiling at me.
It made me smile when feeling his powerful energy, rather than focusing on his loss. May he rest in peace, now he can dance once again with his beloved Diane.
Staying connected was definitely an assistant and teacher here.
Keep Calm Connect And Create With Kinesiology Group
* The plans began for the following Wednesday evening’s group, I stayed centred and connected as the invitations went out.
The evening dedicated to Christine’s memory, was a beautiful tribute and an apt beginning to these groups. Having had her attend my previous groups, I felt her beautiful spirit was there with us, watching over our truly heartfelt gathering.
It was a safe space to acknowledge emotions, gain comfort, reminisce, create, and relax.
There was Kinesiology, peaceful relaxation techniques, calming tuning fork sounding, divine essential oil, oracle assistant card, colouring in, cutting out, drawings, and needed self-expression.
During the evening, the group selected pink Italian rods of glass.
These glass rods sat in the centre of the table to soak up the energy of the group, along with lavender flowers from someone’s garden, and other significant objects.
Birthing of Bead Babies
A couple of days later, I settled myself in front of my hothead torch as the evening’s selected essential oil was diffusing.
With my own evening’s creation in front of me, I once again called upon the loving warmth of Angel Christine.
Each glass Bead Baby was then birthed out of the infused glass rods within the fire, being sculpted into individualised memorial pink hearts for group members and her close family.
A very beautiful keepsake of the love she gave us all, and now shares with all her loved ones always.
My second eventful week then ended in a trip to Emergency with a slice cut out of my foot, but that’s another story! I am learning what I need to from this little trauma, and have emptied out and settled nicely, and now healing well, thank you xo.
