For twenty-one years I called Great Northern Gardens my work home 💞
So it is always a pleasure to find myself back at Great Northern Garden of Remembrance helping a beautiful family say farewell to their beloved wife, mother, mother-in-law, Grandmother, Great Grandmother, Sister, Aunt and friend to many🥰
While I am there I always take a moment to say hi 👋 to my beautiful mother-in-law and brother-in-law 🥰
Memories are golden precious and rare always in our hearts 💕

Another great morning of networking at Ocean Network today hearing from the lovely Pat Armitage and Bev Ryan you never know until you are in the room and hear there story just how connected you are to someone. Hearing Bev’s story of her yachting adventure and realising you had seen the start of her race and was over the moon to know that the all woman’s team had won that year 💞 During my many years as a funeral director I had also worked a lot with RedKite as I organised funerals for children with Cancer. Another beautiful is with Pat I first met her when we were part of a book completion “Touch by Breast Cancer” with Trish Springsteen 💞
Thanks again Kirsty Fields and Leanne Blaney for putting together another great networking meeting 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

The lighting of a candle is a special way to remember your loved one. 💞
Each service I do for a family I offer them a memorial candle that has been specially made for me. It incorporates my crystals and the fragrance has been designed for me by my candle maker the lovely Shirlee Green of Starfish Collective. 💞
A candle is a prayer to the Universe to take care of your loved one and for us to continue to honour, love and remember their memory. 💞

Springtime is one of my favourite times of the year 🌺🌼🌷🌹Today I am off to “Create a Fond Farewell” for a beautiful lady who loved gardening 👩‍🌾 in her honour I chose my favourite dress that has leaves 🍃 on it as I am not much of a floral person 🌺 Who else does little touches to honour the persons passions 💞

Did you know that 10th of September is International GYNAE Awareness Day🧐
In 1984 at the age of 26 years, I was diagnosed with Cervix Cancer. I was grateful 🥲 it was picked up early and dealt with 🙏🏼 I knew I had to have yearly smear tests to ensure I stayed cancer free. It was In 1999 I had a hysterectomy due to heavy bleeding and as the doctor put it I had the Uterus of a sixty year old. Since my hysterectomy I have continue with the smear test however now I am post menopause have been told I didn’t need them any more.
What I didn’t know was all the other stuff that can go wrong 😑 Such as lichen sclerosus, which can lead to cancer of the vulvar cancer. Most women would put the itching that can come from lichen sclerous to thrush. So on this day I ask all my women friends do you know what goes on under the hood. Until I had heard a talk given by the lovely Kath Mazzella at our Soroptimist International MoretonNorth Inc. (SIMNI) I did not have a clue and it made me go for a checkup.
