A celebratory piece I created for Pride 2021 - many times our family is who we choose and those that accept us fully for who we are.

Barbara Hinske's latest in the Rosemont series, Restoring what was lost was a fantastic read. All of the Rosemont characters return and a few new characters appear. The case of the stolen books still needs to be sorted out. This brings trouble and good news at the same time. There are several lesser plot themes and together with the stolen books and you have to pay attention to keep up.. Restoring What Was Lost is an enjoyable mystery.

Oh no. Looks like Mimikyu might have been spotted.

A gift for @ask-findingfamily . I know your blog has only just started up, but I've been so happy to see a Falink blog. It all looks astounding. I am looking forward to meeting all the little ones. Tammy seems like a blast to hang with too 😆

(Oh, and I'm sorry if I didn't get all the details right for each of the members. I tried my best 😁)

“As I said all will be revealed in due time. Now before you embark on this journey however you must first pass this trail. Before you stand many who have face hardships and overcame them, you must glimpse into their past and learn from it to better yourself for the task ahead” Those words echoed in our young hero's head as he slowly made his way into the crowd of numerous pokemon before him looking around curious as to who he should choose first "So many pokemon to choose from...w-who should I pick firs- hm?"

The boy suddenly stopped in front of what appeared to be a greedent who seemed a bit larger than normal and had stripes down his back and tail. Upon closer inspection, it seemed like it was just staring into space with no expression on its face at all which caused some confusion for the young boy

"U-Umm hello? Hellooo? Anyone there? My name is Okko and I'm supposed to be learning something from you?" The boy, whose name seemed to be Okko, waved his hand in front of the mon's face a few times eventually going to reach over to poke its cheek when suddenly a bright light surrounded the both of them causing Okko to cover his eyes when he opened his eyes he saw what looked like a bunch of TV screens and each of them showed a different scene with the greedent as the star. "Whoa so this is what that voice meant when the voice said 'glimpse into their past'... so this is your life eh little bud-"

When Okko looked down to look at the greedent it was no longer there but instead a floating nameplate that read Nicholas "Nick" Kaluhiwa "dy?" Okko looked at the nameplate reading it carefully

"So Nick's your name huh? I wonder if I'll ever come across you someday...." Okko looked back at various points of Nick's life been shown before him wondering what could he possibly learn from all of this

"While this is interesting and all but I don't think I can learn anything that might help m-"

Before Okko could finish his sentence another pokemon appeared in front of him this time a sceptile wearing a blue hoodie

"A sceptile? And he's wearing a hoodie. Cool."

As Okko approached the newcomer the TV screens went blank for a moment before turning back on. Like the greedent, the screens show the sceptile's adventures, his ups as well as his downs all crystal clear for Okko to see

"Hehe looks like I found out how to change the channel" Okko looked back to see if the hoodie-wearing grass type only to find another nameplate, this one read Atzin "Another nameplate..... "

Okko was getting slightly frustrated not seeing how could looking at random pokemon's lives could be a trial, his frustration would only grow as more pokemon appeared. The first was a shiny pikachu that seemed to have rainbow hair that went by the name of Sterling, after that there was a falinks or rather falink by the name of Basalt, and finally what seemed to be a combination of a litleo, skiddo, and ekans each of them with their own names Beaker, Pipet, and Tongs. After what seemed like hours Okko sighs in defeat

"C-Come on already! How long has it been? I haven't learned a single thing since I started this so-called "trial" will I ever get out of here?!"

Maybe you should just give up...what if you fail them again?

"H-Huh? Who said that?!" Okko frantically looked around for the owner of the voice before noticing the small black cloud that was forming in front of him

Maybe you shouldn't continue any further..... It wouldn't make any sense now, would it? It was evident that the voice was coming from the cloud, it was an eerie raspy voice that caused Okko to shiver Your family....your friends....they probably don't even want to see you anymore..... "N-No that...t-that's not true..." The cloud soon began to separate into 4 smaller clouds the first of the four turning to a shadowy looking ekans that began slowly circling Okko who was slowly backing away Stay here....no one will ever see your pathetic face again...it's for the best...... The clouds follow Okko as he back away the second cloud becoming a skitty with crimson red eyes claws out and ready to strike at any moment, it seemed to be smiling ear to ear its razor-sharp teeth in full display "No! I-I need to go back to m-my family an-and friends!"

"Friends? Family? They most likely abandoned you by now This came from the third cloud who was now a dusknoir showing off its pearly whites as well though this one looked more sinister than normal like it was deteriorating which startled Okko causing him to trip and fall back to the ground allowing the evil pokemon before him to get closer, the final cloud turning to a kommo-o who like the others was also sporting a toothy grin. As they got closer and closer Okko frantically backed up as much as he could teardrops running down his face "N-No! Stay away! I-I..." I SAID STAY AWAY! Okko raised his hands a bright light shining from them blinding his pursuers, while this greatly confused Okko as to how he conjured the light he didn't dwell on it and quickly got on his feet once again running as he did before he even got here. Okko kept running not slowing down for fear the pokemon from before would find him, but as fate would have it history would repeat itself a second time as he suddenly began falling again "Not againnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn......." Meanwhile, in an unknown location, a Lucario suddenly jumps out of his sleep in a cold sweat looking around frantically before finally calming down "W-Whoever that was in my dream I hope they're ok." Prologue END (After save errors, wifi problems, and various interruptions I'm glad to be done with this! A huge thanks to all of the peeps who lent me their characters for this!

When the seemingly impossible becomes reality

Have you ever looked at a situation in your life and longed for something, but thought that it was improbable, if not entirely impossible? This is certainly what things looked like for me with regards to learning about my mother’s bloodline. My mother was given up for adoption at birth and although she had tried over the years to trace her family, she had always met dead ends. All she knew about her blood family was her birth mother’s name on her adoption certificate - Joyce E. Townsley, formerly Jennings (whatever that meant) - and that supposedly her mother was a dancer, her father a Hungarian concert pianist and she had a sister 6 years older than her. At age 72, although my mother felt curious, she was content with the upbringing and life she has lead and wasn’t pinning her hopes - or her happiness - on tracing her blood family. Personally I had many unanswered questions, especially knowing how big a role ancestral healing plays in relation to my own soul path. Over the past few years I’ve been working at clearing my maternal ancestral line. This had brought me some clearance, but nonetheless I still felt a void and deeply desired to know more about the maternal ancestral line from which I’ve come. Had it not been for the world’s slowing down this past year, all the unanswered questions may well have remained unanswered. As it happens though, after much research on both my sister’s and my father’s parts - research which they did independent of one another - they both had a lead which reached the same conclusion about my mother’s family line, based on various pieces of information they had been able to access through their meticulous researching on the internet. And so it was that in mid-April my parents located a man in the USA via facebook who they believed to be my mother’s first cousin. It was a Monday morning when my mother sent him a message explaining her story. She wasn’t expecting a response for quite some time, if at all. But within a few hours she had a reply from him. Upon waking he had seen her message and he excitedly wrote back right away, telling her that although he didn’t previously have any knowledge of her existence, everything she said matched up - including the mystery of ‘Joyce E. Townsley, formerly Jennings’. Fast-foward to today, and in addition to my mother’s cousin and his family, my family’s size has somewhat increased with living relatives (as well as a whole host of fascinating ancestors who are long gone). It turns out that not only was it true about my mother having an older sister, but she also has a younger sister. Which means I now have two awesome aunties - April and Tina - who both live in Canada, as do the rest of their families. And boy do my aunties have some incredible - and often hilarious - stories to tell. The family resemblance, particularly between my mother and my older auntie, April, is uncanny. My grandmother Joyce - or Joy as she was known - passed away about 3 decades ago, but from all we have learnt so far she was certainly quite a character and lived a fascinating life. My grandfather’s identity, along with the reason my mother was put up for adoption, remains a mystery and may always remain so. Although given how this story is unfolding, nothing would surprise me now! So many times these past weeks I’ve looked at all of this happening around me. It’s the kind of stuff that’s so obscure and unlikely that it seems like I’ve been transported into an incredible book I just can’t put down. Then I remember that this story is my real life! There have been so many incredible synchronicities in this story so far, and so many fascinating things I’m learning about my family which help me to understand parts of myself which before now I didn’t understand. And there is so, so much more to come… I'm sharing my story with you because I want to remind you that no matter how improbable something in your life looks, there is always the very real possibility of magic happening. . With all of me I know this to be true because this is what I am living. . Blessings, F xx

P.S. Did you know that I offer one-on-one Voice Healing sessions?

"I had the most magical journey with Francesca, releasing so much from my mother's family line, to be able to reconnect to my voice and the Divine Feminine. I really enjoyed the loving and supportive space Francesca created for me to be able to connect to my soul and get very important insights. The process felt really safe, and everything went really smoothly, in spite of the level of intensity of emotions coming up to the surface." - Sylvie, Switzerland .
