Strewth! Can somebody help me! It has taken me almost a week to figger out how to 'log on' to this infernal machine! But by hook or by crook, I will do it! My appologies to admin, I didn't plan to get infamous before the fact!
So, hello, folks, They call me The Gypsy. I am a 64 year old independant individualist with 40 years experience in the health and wellbeing industry and descendant of an Irish traditional clan matchmaker/wisewoman. I have spanned two centuries and wish I could be here for a third. I cannot say I have 'seen it all', for I am still looking, but I have made some monumental bloopers in my life and collected well earned wisdom because of it. Is it all to go to waste? Am I out of fashion because I believe that love not only exists, but is screaming out to be found! Will you judge me inept because I was too busy holding hearts in my hands in the operating theatre to take a computer course ?
Hopefully you will be tolerent and forgive me if I push the wrong buttons til I get the hang of it. Hopefully I will be usefull, I know 'stuff'. I am known in Mystic circles as a 'shepperd of the gate', in the health service I am, among other things, a cancer/palliative specialist RN. Was it just chance that my physical path led me to align with my mystical calling? Am I really quallifed to counsel beyond book learned platitudes? My 44 year old son died in my arms of that dreadful disease despite all my abilities and efforts. I do not deal in false wisdom or useless platitudes. And Yes, I still potter in the health field, presently working with teenagers. I work, because I love my work. I also moonlight as a palmreader and travel with the psychic expo just to honor my heritage. I believe in magic and I am a realist.
I expressly joined the health service at a young age to disprove my Grannies 'hocus pocus'. She won, of course, Magic wins when science gives up every time! So it can't be proven, so what? You can FEEL it! and when you can't, that is when life ceases to be worth the trouble of living it. Love, itself, is 'just a feeling', and that is everything. Do you agree?
I like people. I ride a motorbike on long range trips and I write bush verse and collect strays. Have had two failed marriages and 11 greatgrand kids. I just got a computer and have never used one outside of work applications, which I resented as a dreadful innovation to the detriment of patient care! I am revising my opinion provisionally, but it depends on whether I can put it to some good use. Can it help me to help others, which has been my life's work. I do not wish to retire from the human race, only slog. So do you have a question for me? Is this my forum? I wish you well, The Gypsy.
