IT’S EXCITING &
IT IS A BLESSING,
It is home.
OCTOBER.
October, much is happening this month in my
world. The largest of which is my move.
move the property forward, to open, expand and use
it in all the ways Mum so desired for it to be used.
I am moving to Berry in to the
house that used to be my parents.
I am experiencing quite a variety of
emotion with this move.
It will be a blending of desires and dreams. New
smells will be introduced, new friends will join us
around the fire pit and we will share stories and
raise our glasses, offering our thanks to all that
came before.
There is much excitement within me, the thrill of
moving (I love moving!), the blessing of moving
to such a divine property and of course the idea
of being close to my Mother as I move throughout
her property that was her sanctuary, her passion
and her life.
It’s exciting and it is a blessing, it is home.
There is also the sadness that comes with the
understanding that the house will never be used in
the same way again. The nights around the fire pit
drinking wine and eating burnt sausages will not
be shared with Mum and Dave, the rooms in the
house will no longer be called by the names of my
sisters and slowly the familiar smells associated
with my parents living there will change.
There is the feeling of overwhelm about how to
manage such a large property with so many various
established gardens (will be needing your help there
Mum!), but most of all, there is a feeling of it all being
alright. The feeling that this step will not only move
me and my family forward, but it will continue to

The mall works should be completed by the end
of this month which is cause for great celebration
amongst the team here at Lotus. Already the
sight of trees outside our windows is a very
welcome sight and to have all that space to walk
through at the lower end of the mall once more,
wow! We won’t know ourselves!
I invite you to join us this month, come in to
Wollongong and see for yourself the changes that
are taking place. If you have been hibernating a
little over winter, come on in and experience a
meditation class, yoga class or tai chi class with
us. Allow yourself to emerge slowly from your
hibernation and let us guide you to nurture and
nourish your way to expansion.
With love,
Delyse
