I had the lovely privilege of attending the most beautifully done funeral service of the partner of my dear friend Mary-Anne this last week... cried when her lovely granddaughter, Courtney, sang, "Jealous of the Angels"... had to be the most beautiful version of the song I have ever heard... I was deeply touched by that. And then my son and I spent another special day visiting with Mary-Anne on Sunday.

Henry was the wonderful man who, with some assistance from Mary-Anne's dear old dad, made my most treasured little fairy house in 2016, to help me fulfill one of my most longed for childhood dreams.

(A person never really gets over the things they longed for as a child, so it's good to make all dreams come true whenever possible, even in adulthood... why not! I still have one more BIG childhood dreams to fulfill, and that, being for a REAL microscope... but that's a TOO expensive one for now... maybe one day when I'm rich and famous I can make that one come true.  I had a good microscope when I was a little girl.  It had been given to me by one of my mother's boyfriends.  I loved that microscope so much and used to escape into its "MAGIC WORLD" so often... I would love to share that wonderful magic with my grandchildren today)

Anyway, I can't even begin to tell you how much "Patty", my inner child, danced with joy when I received that incredible fairy house gift from Mary-Anne when she visited. It was the sweetest thing ever with real pebble stone walls.  It had a wooden door that opened and had two little windows and a light that could be turned on inside... it looked so beautiful at night with the light shining through the windows onto the beautiful garden scene. It even had four little fairies that had wings that flapped when I pushed a button.

What more could any little girl ask for! I LOVED IT SO MUCH and that HAPPY memory is forever with me now.

My childhood dream had come true... And THEN, the little girl next door saw it and really, really wanted it, and I wanted her to know the joy of her little fairy house dream also coming true without having to wait as long as I did, so I let her take it and I was completely okay with that.

OH JOY!!!

So... a few months ago, I registered for a Sacred Dying Doula course and paid for the first module, but I had done no study yet.  After this last week with saying goodbye to Henry and spending time with my dear friend Mary-Anne, I have been totally inspired to begin my study at last. I printed out the study manual yesterday morning, and with it being quiet at work right now, even though we have just launched our first new online Logotherapy course (Logotherapy for Optimal Living) and learning platform (www.vfisa.co.za), I began my Doula study yesterday. I'm on page 16 of the manual and feel fired up to keep going. I'll keep you all updated on that one.  Having sat with many a dying person, having the absolute privilege of assisting them to cross over to the other side of the veil, and experiencing that as a sacred honour, I wish to continue this work that is so beautiful to my soul.

Rest in Peace dear kind Henry. Thank you for my beautiful fairy house. I love you for doing that for Patty!  It was a most healing gift of love that filled a certain hole in my soul.

With gratitude ~ Panayiota

    Since as far back as I can remember, family, friends, complete strangers and strangely even animals (birds included) have come to me for help and comfort and I have always felt the calling to be there for others in any way that I possibly can.
