Welcome back to the latest revamp

Well, here you are, at my website again. This site changes almost every year, every time I get itchy with its design and I get chance to rebuild it all. That's what happened again for 2009. This is my new website. So, this should give you some idea about me and who I am.

I'm 29 now having had my 29th birthday in April, I have no idea where the time goes or what I've been doing but time just goes faster and faster every year. I don't know where the time goes, I honestly don't.

Anyone out there that knows about animal guides should probably understand me a bit more when they read this, anyone else, I don't really believe in things like that too much, I think there's something in Tarot and Medicine Cards but not sure how much. What I do know is that my cards came out to be pretty insightful about me. These summary's should give you a bit of an idea and warning about me, my cards were "skunk" and "owl".

Skunk

Due to its distinctive behaviour, humans give this animal a wide berth, the key word being 'respect'. The skunk doesn't threaten your life but instead, threatens your senses. In observing the habit patterns of the skunk it is easy to notice the playfulness and nonchalance of its natural behaviour. The 'I dare you' attitude commands you to respect its space by mere reputation alone. By respecting yourself you will create a position of strength and honoured reputation, there is no need to bully or torment when your sense of 'self' is intact.  Self esteem and energy are instantly recognised on an extra sensory level by this animal.

As the odour of the skunk attracts others of its kind, it repels those who do not respect its space. Skunk medicine people have the ability to attract others and they are very charismatic. At the same time, their natural power to repel those who seek to take energy from them without recycling the gifts they have taken. Skunk medicine people also know how to use the energy flow that will attract a lover. It can be dangerous to leak this energy as it puts them in a games condition which can feed their ego but they may not have an interest in their attractee, this can cause hard feelings when the truth comes out.

Owl

 Owl medicine is usually associated with clairvoyance, astral projection and magic. Otherwise known as Night Eagle, Owl sits in the East the place of illumination waiting for the first crack of light. Night is the Owls friend, the own can hunt in the night as well as see in the dark allowing them to pinpoint any sound or movement. Owls are night hunters and native people are fearful of the own, calling its features 'deceiver feathers' as its feathers are silent. You cannot hear an own when it flies but its prey knowns when its strikes with its beak  and razor sharp talons.

Owl is usually associated with sorcerers and witches and those who pull an Owl card will be drawn to magic and possibly the dark arts. It is essential you resist the temptation of black magic or any art that draws energy and power away from another person or being. These fellow night birds will be drawn to you and recognise a kinship.

Is it any wonder that an on is the symbols of wisdom in so many cultures? An owl can see what others cannot, this is the essence of true wisdom, the owl knows and see what is truly there. It is for this reason Athena, the Greek goddess had a companion owl to show her what she could not see, speaking the truth and whole truth to her.

Own card people cannot be deceived by others about what they are doing, no matter how hard they try to disguise it. For this reason you may be frightening to be around as so many others have ulterior motives which you will see straight through. An own medicine person knows more about an individuals inner life than the person knows about him or herself.

The owl brings messages in the night through dreams. Pay attention to signals and omens and use your powers wisely.

Jake and I

Jake and I have recently moved from Walsall in the West Midlands having completely renovated our flat to buy my Nan's old house around the corner from my mum and dad, in the same village I grew up in Chester, after loosing her at the age of 95 last July. We've now finally found a way from renting to owning our own house. I know my Nan would be over the moon that we've moved in and started to do the house up (keep up to date with the renovation page). There's a lot of work and every single room needs gutting but we will make the most of the house in time.

Jake and I met on the internet in 2003 and since then, we've grown closer day by day and I couldn't do without him. At the time we met, Jake was living in Walsall, I was still living in Manchester, in a huge, but council-owned flat in Salford.

Every week, I would take the train down to Birmingham after work on Friday and then Virgin decided in their infinite wisdom to suddenly hike their fares by 93%! I couldn't afford it and so opted to start using National Express, the only downside to that being that I had to leave Canal Street depot at 21:00 and three hours later, at midnight, I finally used to arrive at Digbeth bus station.

Finally, after a year of doing that, I had reached an impasse at work and the travelling didn't go down well. Jake and I were getting on so well, we took the plunge and he surprisingly asked me if I wanted to move in, so, I took the plunge and moved to the Midlands and this is where I spent the next few years and got a job for the University of Wolverhampton IT Services department.

Now that we've moved, I now work and Jake has just started his new job as a Fitness Instructor in Warrington.

Before leaving home in 2003, I lived in Tarvin in Chester, before that, Onehouse in Suffolk, so yeah, I've been about a bit!

Jake and I have completed our Personal Trainer's certification and while I haven't done anything about my qualification, Jake has now got a job in the industry.
