HAPPY EASTER AUNTY AND ALL...

 
Bright Colored Easter Eggs remind me of Aunty! Everyone in the family knows that Easter was always one of Aunty’s favorite Holidays.

We couldn’t get enough of her cookies and eggplant which she loved to make for the holiday. She prevented family feuds by always making extra! But, like me, Aunty was a kid at heart and loved the candy, and coloring the Easter Eggs. I can still see her face and feel that joy that she radiated at this special Holiday, and, for us a Holy Day.

 Recently Aunty’s grandchildren were keeping up her tradition of coloring Easter Eggs. They had planned to make the pink, purple, blue, yellow and green ones like she did.  When one of the children lifted the egg out of the coloring….well, Nana Helen (Aunty to me) was so happy in spirit that she was being remembered by all her great grandchildren carrying on one of her many holiday traditions, she made sure one of the eggs had her name on it! Here is the picture they sent me. Aunty’s name is Helen and suddenly there was (what appeared to be) a Big "H" emblazoned on the Pink Egg.

Happy Easter to all….

Aunty you bring us all joy. Remembering you and carrying on in your name is the greatest privilege and how I chose to live my life now.


Eternally…

Renee Faith and your beloved family….

MOVING ON UP...

On the Steps of MIT
 
Those of you who have been following Ageless with Aunty for a while now may remember that back in the summer of 2011 I started talking about pulling a rabbit out of my hat! I said I had something BIG up my sleeves! Well, I was all geared up for something pretty spectacular and then my entire world collapsed with the news of Aunty’s illness and subsequent death. I can tell you now that it has taken a long time to heal with such a loss. However, you may also remember me saying that I vow to live out Aunty’s Legacy of Love and to steep my life into EVERYTHING that is GOOD just like Aunty did. So, I am super pleased and excited to say that I am MOVING ON UP. HERE I AM on the steps of MIT in Cambridge. I was attending a meeting for people like me who invent things. This is not for MIT students but a group that meets there. All that wonderful energy that surrounded me back in the summer of 2011 is here tenfold. I am going to do something amazing and make a product that the whole wide world will love and it’s all for and in the name of Aunty! She saw what I was creating before she passed and I have her blessings and beyond. Or, shall I say from beyond. I am not able to disclose what I am making as yet, but, I will soon enough.
I share this all with you because for anyone who has had to put a dream on hold for various reasons, NOW IS THE TIME TO get back to work. If the dream is meant to be you must start taking action TODAY! Those who know me well tell me I am the poster girl for PERSERVERENCE. I am starting to have my success now. I decided it was time. I have called upon Angel Aunty and she hears me Loud and Clear. I am living into my dreams and it feels quite extraordinary. To be more specific. For anyone going to see the new film OZ the Great and Powerful look for, or remember a scene when the Wizard is floating in a huge iridescent bubble over and across the land. That would give you an idea of what it feels like when you are true to yourself and follow your heart!
You soar. And soaring is pretty special if you ask me. And, best of all I am closer to Aunty. Magic would be one good way to describe it.
