Little Things To Remind Me Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Tuesday, February 05, 2013

God, Thank You For Providing Me Your Hands To Walk Me Through


There are times that I doubt about my gift.  Sometimes, I feel that I have gone a little insane, a little egoistical.  But, time and time again, there will be little messages (and they mean a great deal to me) that I will receive to remind me that I am still a normal person.  It is, such little message, that makes me to realize how much God loves me.  How much He cares and takes care of my desire to live my life.

I often desire to live a fulfilling peaceful life.  A life that not only can keep me to breathe the air of serenity, the air of tranquility but, above all, I want a peaceful life that is constantly connected with the Universe.  A life that can bridge Heaven and Earth.  A life that connects every being.  A life that is simply understood and it embodies the energy of love.  The energy of everything possible and everything positive.  I want to live a life that makes me to be fully aware and fully conscious with the language of the Universe.

Why Do We Count Our Blessings Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Friday, March 30, 2012

Peace is the person who finds fault with himself instead of finding fault with others.  Love is its own reward.


My words may not express the exact magnitude of my gratitude, of being in sincere thankfulness and appreciation for all the things that I have experienced in life.  Nor my words can easily justify my intuition as to recognize the will of God for His blessings upon me.  What I totally feel deep within me has no boundaries but yet words can be limited.  My words often do a poor job of expressing just how blessed I am.

It is, somewhat, harder than I thought to thank God enough.  Fact is, I am appreciative of the good things that I have received. Fact is, I am appreciative of the bad things that I have received too.  Together, they have helped my insight and intuition in recognizing God's presence to let me to experience His ways, the Divine Way.  Together, it is the way He is taking care of me, allowing me to understand what is Life about.  Together, it leads me to an acceptance about life that requires hope, faith and love.

What A Wonderful, Wonderful ... Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Thursday, June 16, 2011

Today is manana.

Yup, it was a wonderful week last week.  The past several days had been really filled with blessings.  Yes! that much I would want to feel, that much I would want to acknowledge.  Yes, this much I make no bones about the layers of tranquility that each passing day had greeted me.  Though there were not much of activities and excitement nor that I had taken any vacations - they were just any other days, but my soul was inundated with joy of the extraordinaire.  I felt so much peaceful with myself and there was a greeting sense of life.

Words can hardly describe the blissful state of my mind that I was experiencing.  To some, they would probably pass a remark that I had gone kinda mad.  Kinda weird.  Kinda scary.  There would always be a value judgment related to all aspect of living and it would be of no difference with what I had in mind to share it here.  It is a natural one's first emotional judgement about such 'ab-normality' (if one is to choose along this thinking pattern) long before the capacity to rationally judge such an occurence to be related with the Law of the Universe.  That our soul evolves, and should always evolve with time.

Last week, somehow, I felt an elevation with the way I viewed things around me.  When someone was talking to me, I felt there was a three-dimensional personality of that individual.  There was the presence of his physical Being, his Ego and his Higher Self appearing simultaneously at the same time.  I could literally 'see' these three energies of him appearing separately.  To my surprise, as I engaged in the conversation, I could literally 'hear' my Being, my Ego and my Higher Self.

LUP works in progress, just outside Reiki Sanctuary

Then, there was a division of two worlds in and out of Reiki Sanctuary.  When I felt so much accomplished inside, there was a world of confusion outside.  The Lift Upgrading Project (LUP as HDB named it) had just started on my area.  Dust and noise were unbearable daily occurences with so much hacking and drilling works could start as early as eight in the morning.  For an OCD like me, this was a disruption and that I should even feel more so to spruce up Reiki Sanctuary.  But, it amazed me at how I could calmly accept it and letting the activities outside to be a non-weighty entity separated from my soul.

Interestingly, during a group outing to Singapore Flyer (gratitude to JH to arrange it), I saw this signage.  For unknown Universal nudge, I snapped it and today, it just makes sense.  Ironically, the 'Arrow' points upwards -- hmm, Elevated Journey begins?

Somehow, my mind went through a process of taking isolated ideas and consolidating them into a unified whole.  It was taking, and importantly accepting, little things that I knew and making a bigger picture out of them.  It was good just to observe the situations and not to be influenced internally and emotionally.  I was, in the metaphysical view of thoughts, went through a state of emotional integration.  It was, as though, all that I had known become a simple emotional evaluation about every aspects of life.

The week started with a decision that I had finally made.  It was not easy but it was greatly encouraged and motivated by a group of loving individuals.  I was overwhelmed by, and deeply grateful to, these few individuals who really radiated their true souls and shining bright.  Who deserved to be loved and to be highly respected.  I was deeply touched by their love.  I should count on my blessings. 

Last week, I decided to go through a minor surgery to remove a lipoma, a fatty tumor, on the elbow of my left hand.  I had been having it for the past ten years or so.  Started from just a small growth, it was about 5 by 5 cm when it was finally removed on 8th of June.  I knew it was non-cancerous as I had it examined before.  But, little that I knew, the growth was growing to such a big scale.

The MRI report showed that the growth was not from a nerve though it had grown so huge and pressing on the nerves below it.  This lab report eased my mind as I would not want to go through a surgery should it had been related to my nerves.  Obviously, I had my own reasons and these reasons may not sound logical and rational.  Another lab report came back, after the surgery, that the lipoma confirmed to be benign.

I had endured the pains on my left hand for months.  Sometimes it could be rather intensed from the shoulder area and all the way to my wrist.  Somehow, the lipoma had pressed on the nerves beneath it that it triggered pains to other parts of my body too.  The pain gravitated all the way to my lower back and the left leg. 

Perhaps, the changes - this emotional integration, that I had been going through had to do with the surgery.  It had to do with the letting go of my own resistance.  Of my silent fear.  Ironically, a day before the surgery, I had an interesting conversation with another friend.  It was as though the Universe had arranged it for me to receive some words of wisdom.  It was a scene that exemplify as a conversation with God.

This friend shared with me about her personal problems.  She was sharing with me about her life progress but she insisted it was more a regression.  It was interesting just to hear her that day.  For whatever she was sharing, she knew and cited the Law of Opposites.  She accepted that every out must have an in, every low swing must have a high swing, what rises must fall and what falls must rise.

That afternoon, our meeting reminded me of Neal Donald Walsch's book "Happier Than God".  In his book, he identified the five great Principles of Life:

01.  The Energy of Attraction, which gives us power

02. The Law of Opposites, which gives us opportunity

03.  The Gift of Wisdom, which gives us discernment

04.  The Joy of Wonder, which gives us imagination

05.  The Presence of Cycles, which gives us eternity.

What made it more real was when she actualized with what Neal wrote, "The Law of Opposites works in perfect harmony with the Energy of Attraction.  This principle states that no sooner will you call something into your reality than it's exact opposite will also appear, and always first".

That afternoon, I felt that I had been given a chance to engage with God's light which came through her.  For once, in many of my counselling sessions, I didn't have to do much but just listening.  At the end of the meeting, she made a remarkable remark that stayed with me - "Perhaps, I had been focussing so much on the mistakes, that I have been making, that I pushed away the bigger pictures of what I had been wanting to achieve".

That sentence somehow struck me.  It was, as though, she had been sent by God to give me a tight slap on my face to wake up.  It was a pure co-incidental moment since I had just made the decision to go through with the surgery.  Perhaps, it was the synchronicity of all these events that changed my soul vibrations.  I remembered waking up two hours later from the general anaesthesia, which was administered before the surgery, that there was something that had been released out of my soul, out of my body.  Something that did not belong to me and had set me free.  Though, I had a passing feeling where something was missing  but yet, for the bigger picture, I knew it was for good reasons.

I exercised on what my friend's wisdom again when my friends and I went for the PC show the other day.  Perhaps, the Universe had arranged it for me to experience my new lesson.  Perhaps, the Universe had wanted to see how much I had understood the process towards integration.  Afterall, words without exercising nor owning them  would just be words - plain useless.  The knowledge, when one felt could change life, must be integrated by fundamentals or, otherwise, it would not be useful.

It made a big difference.  It was said that the show would be crowded, and it was.  There were others who told me to avoid going since it was the last day of the show.  It was a Sunday.  The wisdom that I had wanted to learn brought a new height of understanding and clarity about reality.

When I told myself to focus on the bigger picture (of getting the things we wanted to get) and not on the crowd, my friends and I managed to get all the stuffs without hassles.  It actually surprised me when my friends and I were out of the Singtel booth with our purchases within fifteen minutes.  We managed to get other things without having to queue.  Importantly, amidst the huge crowd, we were served well and all our queries about the products that we wanted to get were addressed effectively at every booths.  We were out of the show within two hours.

Looking back, it was a lesson where many of us would, probably and likely, to go through life not capable to make emotional evaluations for our higher purpose.  Unconsciously, we allow this process to form in our subconscious level.  It becomes an automatic process where we equate good and bad to be life virtues without having an understanding to take isolated ideas and consolidating them into a bigger unified whole.  We all feel emotions.  We have all experienced them - Love, hate, fear, envy.  But we fail to allow our experiences to form a higher value, of higher fundamentals, to what we feel.  We fail to place a belief and the understanding for knowing how to integrate.

As I flipped open on the Book of Insight - A Guide for the Advanced Soul, this page came to reassure me:

"Peace of mind comes from not wanting to change others, but by simply accepting them as they are.  True acceptance is always without demands and expectations."  

Gerald G Jampolsky on Love is Letting Go Of Fear

"The snow goose need not bathe to make itself white.  Neither need you do anything but be yourself"
Lao-Tse

I have constantly believed that everything that is to happen, happens for VERY good reasons.  And, on this note, YES! I have indeed changed.  It may be uncomfortable to others, it may be taken and viewed wrongly by others. 

My dearest indigo friend, JH once said that I have become rather 'harsh' with my words and has constantly asked "Are you alright?" whenever we chat.  I believe that it has to do with my changing energetical vibrations that made him, unconsciously, feels that there is something wrong, when there are actually changes only for the very good reasons.  Without him realizing it, his Higher Self just wants to make sure that my soul is comfortable.   I have highest respect for him - a soul that is always full of love.

I Am So Thankful Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Wednesday, October 13, 2010

You, my readers, make me proud.  I am just feeling so thankful.  Little I expect that I have quite a large readership.

First, forgive me for not checking my email from VOX's account.  After I migrated my blog here in Blogger on 4 September 2010, I thought that email address would no longer be active.  I have to create a new email address when I registered with Blogger.

If not for the personal messages from two forummers at Renovation Forum and one from Doggie Forum, I would probably still be in the dark.  To these people, my apologies for not checking my PM Box any earlier.

What I thought that had been done correctly isn't the way things come out.  Just after I migrated to Blogger, I posted a note to re-direct my blog here.  What I didn't realize, when VOX finally drew the curtain down, it re-directed my VOX url, http://reikisanctuary.vox.com to Typepad.

Typepad was my temporary site.  It was a site chosen by VOX Team to help bloggers migrate our data.

I don't quite like Typepad.  It is just personal.  I don't feel good blogging in a platform that has both the free and paid versions.  It gives me a sense of inflexibility and limited freedom when I am using the free version.  The mind will simply tell me that I could get much better things unless I start to pay for the full paid version.  To continue blogging using a free hosted platform serves me well.

Readership in October, 2010

 I shall continue to pray for us to grow together.  I am respectful for those who enjoy visiting and reading my posts.  "Thank You" from the bottom of my heart.

Journey Home Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Monday, October 19, 2009

This is for my friends, ML and KC.

It was an unexpected twist for an eventful Saturday; the evening of 17th October was spent to uncover our journey.  The Journey Home.

Like the two of you, I am still warped with unexplained emotions.  Like the two of you, I am inspired too.  Like the two of you, "I love you" too. 

I am all tears reading your emails.  "Thank You" my friends.

It was a night, that wonderful night, bringing the three of us home.  In all appropriateness for the time and the energy of completion, that our journey home had been written to be spent that way.  It had taken us so long to rediscover.  Yet, it was better late than never.

We laughed.  We cried; ok I cried.  We labeled each other yet there was still just so much love and tenderness, connected in unspoken understanding.  Filled in invisible nuances of love.  We laughed even louder.  We let our naked souls to speak.  We were not ashamed.  We were not restricted.  And, we seriously and openly bared it all.  There was a complete exposure of our inner truths.

That same place, the same day of the week and same time where the scene of Entrapment took place about two months ago.  This time around, it was more profound.  We engaged in a marvelous ascension with honesty and integrity.  As you said KC, it was a reunion of soul mates.  We poured our hearty laughter accepting, and recognizing, our S-Factor that separated us from our peers.  It was such a beautiful symphony glowed with so much emotions.  Conducted in a divine orchestra with interdimensional attributes where so much intuitive energies were revealed.

We tied-up our loose ends.  We deserved to hear each other, one after another, and fitted into a balanced system.  Everything said and done with profound acts of love.  I was swamped with so much admiration.  The two of you brought upon your lights that sailed the night with an ascended vibration that fitted in very well for the three of us to see things better.  To sense the beauty of a reason to live.  It was a journey home of yin and yang, the dark and the light.

I felt honoured to be part of the big thing. 

The light house, and the divine life uniquely owned within the two of you, comforted the thought of death and my spiritual demise.  We made our transition and untangled all emotions that had been placed into our fabrics of life.  We laid and opened each others' path and formed yet another sacred geometry to our friendship.  Surely, it was not just a coincidence that had taken place that night, for opening a quest to our journey home vivid with the sacredness of free choice.  It was, as though, God was sitting amongst us that night giving little vignette and tiny snapshot of what will happen next.  What He did was to pour consciousness in our drinks and provided the energy of organization and form in such a peaceful and understanding veil of the evening.  Each one of you ascended to be an angelic being and wise teachers.

The lessons revealed within were truly revolutionary to our common way of thinking.  Our willingness to share, and the marvelous mindful of simple spiritual truths and insights of these two friends, have the power to change my life forever.

There was, and will be, just so much more to life as we unveiled our personal secrets.  The night just glowed.  A bright light was being lit.  In the invisible and silent entities of angels around, a choir sang a song that could be heard all over the universe.  What remained, three individuals were awakened.  A life would remain on this earth only this time to continue the journey.


The Journey Home

It has to be a journey, so we committed, a sacred one yet staple to the way things work.  We know that we will be walking through challenges, the drama, the difficulties, the denials, the lies but it would be a journey of divine consciousness.  It would be home with the potential of a perfect walk with God.  A brisk one with no ending.  Whatever life gives us, we shall take our light and transform it into what serves us and those around us.

My Gratitude

Now I know why you cried so much on The Journey Home, KC.  That Saturday oscillated our past and future and provided spiritual enlightenment of the changes we are facing.  Of knowing that God resides within us and that we are an eternal part of His universal plan.  Indeed, you were touched by His light.

I pray for you, M.  For that masterhood that is within you.  Your spiritual enlightenment is not about following any human being but the light within you.  You just have to passion play the consciousness.  Stay in your own integrity and don't look to others to define your beliefs.  The truth is that your divinity is within you.

I knew we went home knowing each one of us was sending blessings to one another.  Thank You for a night of honor, logic and divine purpose.  Thank You for the grace of your existence in my life.  Thank You for the essence of God which drives all (our) creation.  Thank You for being my brother and sister during the frontline of my battle.

Cherish Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Friday, October 02, 2009

03 October 1987: 
22 years ago, on this date, we decided on a journey.  It was a day where we took the choice to end the pursuit to happiness in life and making it a reality.  It became the beginning.  The birth of a shared vision to bring in the true nature of life to grow.  It is in our human nature to bond with another and, in the words of Aristotle, "Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence".  We ended our ignorance and preoccupied our wants for matters of great importance.  Of a better quality of life that will bring us to the grave.

We deliberately, at our conscious level, sought out happiness within and never allowed to think it was just as an external acquisition.  Perhaps, we are soul mate and even if that was so, we learned to savour and appreciated the basic pleasures being a companion to each other.  For soul mates to survive, it must be mixed with a different set of ingredients.  It needed the realization through experiences for knowledge.  For passion.  There must be a burning desire to ease each other out from confusion, from pain and from sufferings.  We learned to achieve our unique virtures and strengths and employed them to enhance our lives.  All, because we wanted to find a deep sense of fulfillment for that meaningful life.

It reminds me so much the writing of Morris L West in "A View From The Ridge" on being full human - the journey that we wanted to walk this life, side by side:

"It takes so much to be a full human being that there are very few who have the enlightenment or the courage to pay the price. One has to abandon altogether the search for security and reach out to the risk of living with both arms. One has to embrace the world like a lover. One has to accept pain as a condition of existence. One has to court doubt and darkness as the cost of knowing. One needs a will stubborn in conflict, but apt always to total acceptance of every consequence of living and dying."

I just love you because I do.  I can't change it.  I am thankful for all the patience and tolerance.  Above all, I am grateful that we desire to create mutual understanding to maintain peace and harmony.  To form a partnership of two individuals and that this partnership is enriched and enhanced when it allows our personalities involved to grow.

Indeed, we grew and developed gradually from understanding.  From true loyalty and not just sheer indulgence.  We provided a fine basis for development and taken delightful association, of two different individuals, to be nurtured.  To be free from loneliness and deprivation.  We strived to develop a complementary role, giving strength and moral courage to one another.  Each manifesting a supportive and appreciative recognition of the other's strengths and weaknesses in caring and providing for the quality of life we had been searching for.

I am in bliss with a partnership of equality.  Of gentleness.  Of generosity.  Of calm.  Of dedication.  Of pure sharing and trust.  Never that you asked how much you can get but how much you can give.  When my youth starts to fade away, you lay no emphasis but stayed true in your heart and mind, not in what you see.  Thank you for never neglecting me even in sickness.

We succeeded to stay true to the reality of wanting to be together.  Taken to harmonize our lives by minimizing whatever differences we may have between us.  To share all our pains and pleasures and consoling each other and minimized our grievances.  I am thankful that we have the strength to stay strong will power to reduce our burdens and misunderstandings.

John J Robinson, in his book "of Suchness" wrote:

"Somehow, when you find the right one, you know it in your heart. It is not just an infatuation of the moment. But the powerful urges of sex drive a young person headlong into blind acts and one cannot trust his feelings too much. This is especially true if one drinks and get befuddled; the lousiest slut in a dark bar can look like a Venus then, and her charms become irresistible. Love is much more than sex though; it is the biological foundation between a man and a woman; love and sex get all inter-twined and mixed up".

I am thankful that I just know that you are the right one.  And, I thank God that I met you not when I was drunk nor with a befuddled state of mind.

Today, I am praying for your health.  For peace within your heart and mind.  For all the joy that will always keep you company.

I am blessed to know, and have, you.  For the friendship, love, wisdom, joy, inner peace, wholeness, salvation, enlightenment.  A connection to the source of things.  And experience of the ground of being.

This is the song that used to accompany us:

Always

Atlantic Starr

.. and for the many more years ahead.
I just love you.

The Sanity Of The Mind Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Sunday, March 22, 2009

One big lesson that Ruby is providing, with her departure, is about the reality of us being a human.  That, it is so hard to let go.  That, with such a loss, we can easily rack into the past.  That, imperfections are so big.  And guilt is so hard to wipe out.

The mind keeps wondering.  We question our actions.  We ask the limits of intention.  We doubt the validation of deeds.  Beyond all, we express upon the truth of all purposes.

The day we can reconcile it all, Ruby will be very proud of us.  In the silence of communication, there are messages.  You taught us to look out for subtle meanings and the significance of events.  You have made us to seek for higher awareness.  For signs that will release us of our fears.  Of worries.  And eradicate the uncertainty of thoughts.  Only to lead a life with an affection that transcends all mortal feelings.  To become a love born of devotion to one's soul and spirit.

For now, we are still deeply drowned in sorrow.  Unfortunately, we are not coping well.  It is the empty room in our surrounding.  In our hearts.  In Reiki Sanctuary.  It is the loss of a dear companion, and a very precious one.  It is the broken relationship.  It is the loneliness in the heart.  Flashes of the past magnify. 

The emotional pangs of pains can be rather unbearable.  We dearly miss her physical touch.  We miss her adorable ways to make us smile.  We miss just having her next to us and watching her sleep.  The tenderness that goldfielded a mercy worthy of our relationship.  That, constantly, reminds us of sacredness and its manifold gifts to humanity and spiritual union.

Your loss is a great pain to us.  We had fooled ourselves that the day will come later.  Much later.  We are just refusing to allow our mind to that decision, sending you to the Vet, was the strength and courage you had chosen.  You knew we would be very lost should you take your last breath in our presence at home.  You knew those are actions that must be done.  You had actually communicated with us.  Showing the unusual quiet trip to the clinic.  Not even barking and struggling as you would always do.  What you wanted was for us to give you the means to the strength that you had lost.  And all your dignity.

The white light that came to connect with you on such a beautiful day, Friday 20 March, was a great blessing.  The weather, throughout the day, was just lovely.  You even had arranged for some people to be with us.  You just knew we needed them.  And the day, it was Saturday  21 March at 3 pm, as your earthly body was cremated, the sky cried.  And so were we and our friends.  It marked an earthly closure between us.  It was the beginning for eternal re-membrance.

We are deeply thankful ...

-  To Dr Quek who tried his best.  To the Lab Technician, Robert, who took great care of the body.

-  Thank You to all our families, relatives and friends that sent condolences, love and prayers.

-  Special thanks to Jian for offering us transport on Thursday.
-  Special thanks to dear Penny, Joanne and Nel for accompanying us on Friday. 
-  Our heartfelt gratitude to our true friends, Ann and Pat,  who sacrificed their time, to be around us at all time.  For their time at the Vet on Friday to the cremation on Saturday afternoon.  For all your time accompanying us throughout the night and trying hard not to make us cry.  And, for constantly bringing back sanity into our minds.

Thank you for the constant prayers.

-  Our appreciation to Pat who accompanied us to collect the ash on Sunday.  And then, sacrificing your work, to spend with us the whole afternoon.

-  To Mr Osman, at the Cremation, who provided us the compassion and the respect final goodbye.

My little request:

I believe in the power of prayer.  I am asking for everyone's prayers as you read this blog.  For a little prayer to Ruby.  For her soul to rest in peace .. For her spirit live on forever.

Thank you all.  May God be with you.

As The Curtain Falls Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Saturday, October 18, 2008

This is my last entry from Hertford.  Soon, my PC will be switched off and time for me to open up the chasis and clean all the internal hardware.  It is the usual ritual - all items from Hertford must go through a 'good bath', sort of a cleansing and detoxification ritual, before they are moved to the new Reiki Sanctuary.

I love you, Hertford.  I just love you.  Nothing will change it.  Nothing will change that.

It has been a wonderful 20 years here living in Hertford.  This is the place where I grow - a place where you allowed me to grow.  This is the place that I walk into my spiritual life - a place where you opened the Heaven's Gate.  This is the place that I learn about love.  About relationship.  About celestial insights.  Hertford provides it all.  Quietly, she opens all kinds of life experiences.  She has been very unconditional.

I have no regrets.  She came to me when I wanted to grow.  When I wanted to gain my independent.  When I wanted to reward myself.  She allowed me to experience life, to take small steps as I moved on.  Over the years, she heightened my awareness.  Going through all emotions and the challenging senses of my mind.  I embraced love.  Hate.  Joy.  Sorrow.  Peace.  Solitude.  They are life greatest values.

I learned about family value too.  The importance to love my late parents - and respecting them without judgement.  To be grateful for who they were.  I learned how to love.  How to appreciate another being.  And, accepting each one of us to be a teacher.  To learn from each other.  To learn to let go my expectations.

As I bid my farewell, in all my sadness, you will stay forever in my heart.  I am praying for you. 

For the next few months, you will house new souls.  I am sure you will provide shelter to these people.  You will continue to give your love to them.  It will be no less because you are just you.  And when the day comes that you will be gone forever, to give way to new development, I pray that it shall be without pain.  That you, by that time, have reached your earthly time.  What shall remain is your earthly delights.  A place where life starts.  A beginning for better things to all the souls that you housed.

Thank you for everything, Hertford!! 

I am sure you have sensed my thoughts and emotions for the last few months.  You stood tall for me.  You provided strength.  You kept me peaceful.  You processed new linings of hopes.  You conceived my magnificent path ahead.  You just wanted to keep me safe.

When the new day starts, as I wake up in the new Reiki Sanctuary, it will just be memories.  It will, definitely, be a good one for me.  I will continue to grow but it will be different this time.  What you have put in my heart shall serve for better purpose.  My deepest gratitude and love to you.

Thank you for loving me, Hertford!

Thank You Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Saturday, October 04, 2008

Dear Families and Friends,

We don't expect the Universe to send us so much love from the people around us.  The connecting passage far and near.  From families to friends.  Families that pray for us.  Friends that we have not heard for so long.  Through all the phone calls, emails and visits, we are truly touched. 

Words would not be enough to say how much we deeply appreciate the kindness and love that are being given to us for the last few days.

The last few days, each one of you play a big part.  You take in our frustrations, listen to our negativities and, importantly, put sense and give us hope.  You put up with us and kindly offer your kind assistance.  Even with your busy schedule, in your physical tiredness, in your limited time - they are less important but to make sure we go through this period.

'Thank You! Thank You!'  However, we want to say it, again, that we are handling the situation well.  Admittedly, we are just physically, emotionally and mentally drained.  We know that everything will end soon.  We know that everything will have a good reason.

As mentioned, we will shout, we will yell when we need help.  And, when that happens, we are grateful that you will be around.

We will, definitely, remember these loving gestures. You are loved.  We are praying for your well being too.

The Big Day Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Saturday, March 15, 2008

Our search for a new house ended today.  It will be a new beginning, a new settlement.  It ends months of unsettled decisions.

The opportunity that was bestowed upon us made us to review our future strategy.  20 years ago, we bought our first property and it had served us well.  We didn't expect to move out.  We always felt that we could live here a little longer - at least for the next few years till one of us reach 55.  Then, it would  be the time where we ought to plan for our retirement.

We built our nest in Hertford.  It would always be a place that we shall remember very dearly and a place that we MUST, as we moved ahead, looked back with gratitude.  We grew up there - we were hardly 30 then.  There were many stories, many events, many twists and turns, many laughters and sorrows too, many guests, many parties .. - above all, we managed to keep each other company for bad and for good.  It was a place where human foundation was built on.

Hertford, we will always love you.


You were a blessed sanctuary for us.  With your shelter, together we grew - where each day filled with life lessons.  You were the abundance behind our peace and joy.
