MEEKATHARRA WORLD FOCUSED HEALING

Flood responses SES

2009-02-26T17:57:00.000-08:00

Penny was on her way to Burringuarrah when she was told the roads were flooded and she couldn't continue.

As our SES role is responding to floods, we usually cheak the roads for people that are often trapped due to the closure of roads after they have started their journey.

We welcomed Penny to come with us, As she could not be convinced as to why she couldn't continue, after all it was dry in Meekatharra.

However please take note if the shire & main roads close the roads, then there is a reason and people will be fined if found driving on them.

so you will see Penny accomplishing her 2nd water crossing, she was so excited when she reached the other side, the first crossing we walked her through while she drove, so she could gain confidence.

you'll see Rick as he demonstrates how to walk through the water first to cheak for safety, it was way to high to continue. We set up breafast on the side of the road and then returned to Meekatharra.

Once Penny experienced the water herself, she then understood why she couldn't continue her trip by road and it took some weeks before the water subsided. A plane was organised for her & her children to fly to Burrguarrah. We made a life long friend that day. : )
As she travelled from Burringurrah to Meekatharra often she had to use her water crossing experience many times and was grateful to have had this oppertunity.

The other portion of the clip was a truck delivering furniture who had driven passed the turn off to it's destination , into the floods and got bogged.

Rick & Paul went out to the truck & organised a grader that was in the area to help free them.

The first part of the video shows the truck recovery.

Never under estimate the outback. enjoy this clip

Greening the Desert

2009-01-30T18:25:00.000-08:00

I came across a site that focuses on permaculture & havesting water
there are some great videos on the projects created.

ie: food forests that become no dig gardens :), gardens that defend themselves from pests and above all a healing enviroment on many levels. I am sure that you would find something there that interests you.

Do yourself a favour and be inspired by Geoff & Nadia Lawson who are making a difference to the world in practical ways that you yourself can impliment

have a great day

whats been happening

2009-01-30T17:59:00.000-08:00

Once I had a vision of what could lift Meekatharra, I drafted an outline of my plan, then spoke to locals of the various projects and generated interest from what they wanted and their ideas.
I looked at the various funding structures and set about to encourage what was already in place.
what has stopped me is that people get interested and fall away. To overcome that fear.

I believed I had to start with myself and my part of Meekatharra.
I started my healing business up as well as I invite different services to town and promote their arrival.
We currently have bueaticans visit once a month from Perth, who service Cue & Mt Magnet on the way. Great for both men, woman and the youth.
we do require a hairdresser : )

There is a child playgroup started by a local group and we now have a hardware where we can purchase plants and irrigation supplies. the Blue light discos have restarted by Police and their have been attempts to address the issues of "children after dark"

I have 3 projects in mind.
the first being a healing park, a place where local artists create features, musicans can come and play their tunes all amongest an enviroment that is growing plants, that sooth, heal & feed.

there are a couple of areas around town that will be ideal. my next step other than more research is to survey the town of what others want or what they want to contribute.

Personally I am creating a healing garden in my back yard.
we have 3 emus that were little babies left without parents, & two large dogs.
The emus need a watering hole to bath in and I have noticed the marked difference in the soil since we have created this.
They wake up, do their exercises, then come to the back door to let me know that they are ready to eat. I feed them and fill their watering hole and so we have 3 content emus.

Added to this I brought a birdhouse which I filled with wild bird seed and I also hung a block of seed in a tree. it took a while but every day I get a moderate variety of birds that come and feed and drink. we also place 2 bird baths.

Next I need to create plants that provide more shade than whats there already.

so yes the focus is still on healing Meekatharra and these are only a few things that I can comment on at present.

Have a good day

The Latest on Tidy Town 2008

2008-10-15T08:18:00.000-07:00

There have been a few projects completed for this years Tidy Town, We may need to apply for 2009 as most projects identified involve dealing with agencies, departments and indivuals that require many negotiations and co-ordination.

What has been achieved so far has been inspiring.

Meeka held a Garden competition. the winners have as yet to be announced Publicly.
The local Hardware had a variety of plants & products to be creative with.
Most gardens need another few months to see the long term results. It was pleasing to witness the creativity & Pride in our town.

There was a community effort one weekend in cleaning the town of Litter and a competition to see whom picked up the most, It was very successful.

An Aborginal Corporation in town, had focused on enhancing their yards with Lawns, Plants and other items that made the work areas a pleasent enviroment to visit.
The horticultural divison grew Vegatables, herbs & Plants, in such a way, that a stroll in their gardens was a soothing experience.

I personally decided to start a Self Help Business, that encourages Practitioners, services & resources into Meekatharra so that our town could have choices to learn, pamper or experience with.

The Tidy Town Judges came through, and the announcements of the winners will be held at the end of this month in Three Springs
Meekatharra has been invited to hold a presentation of its projects at that meeting, I am sure we will be represented even though it is a few hundred Kms away.

To end this entry I would like to mention that, The topic of "Tidy Town", has had people thinking creativity again and so inspiring themselves. Great to witness, better to be part of.

Enjoy your Backyard

Another Community

2008-05-31T23:49:00.000-07:00

I was stolling through non profit sites, when I came across this inspiring group of people.

Take a look and see how they have aided in the growth of their town

I just want to thank everybody : )

2008-05-29T05:18:00.000-07:00

Thank you everyone, for the ongoing healing, support, upliftment & practical help.

There are so many of you that have joined the healing of the outback town Meekatharra.

The majority of townsfolk are exited and making the effort to be part of the various projects that are going on in town.

Even the people whom cannot get out of their homes and those away from our town, have helped so much.
There are so many skills, talants and creative ability coming to create a successful enviroment.

I am so grateful to you all

Thanks

I am a Grandmother

2008-05-20T06:26:00.000-07:00

I have been away, so sorry for the lack of up dated blog entries.

I have become a grandmother for the first time and it is one of those times in my life where time stands still. I am so overwhelmed.

Meekatharra is a family orientated place, where the men are over protective of family.
It is often considered a negative aspect of human nature, but over the years I have come to respect a man that has attitude enough to stand up for the family, regardless of wether the family is right or wrong.

The family support is strong in our town and it is through the strength of families that I believe our town will pull together and lift Meekatharra to it's heights to win "Tidy Town" WA and continue on going support for those that travel through it.

There are some great clips on "You Tube" regarding Meekatharra. You may want to view. We are very unique.
I was asked, "What’s great about Meekatharra"? I was stumped, I guess because I am so content to live here, The Life style is mainly what I like.

Apart from the Government businesses you would consider yourself away from civilization and that is pleasing for those that need to be reminded of reality and heal themselves.

Meekatharra is a place to reflect on what life is really all about and where do you want to journey to next.

Those of us that live here for years, enjoy the variety of humanity that passes through and that covers many variations including wildlife.

There are those that choose to reside here and then there are those that use the excuse of work. I say excuse because I believe that Meekatharra is a place to heal oneself, it is a magnetic place on a vibrational level as well as a practical level. Those that come here to work, leave with a different perception on life, as most know it.

Either way, the family unit is tested to the limits and those that wish to grow will.

I read a story about a family of 8 that travelled around Australia with the outcome " To gain more positive happy family Memories" It was a mothers solution to a family that was at each other. They lived in a city and obviously the environment was not catering to the family dynamics, so this mother decided a year of going bush was the answer to bring happiness and strength to the family.
It worked, although she admitted that the first 6 months were trying for all. The outcome was a success, family unity and respect for each other.

If 1 family can make a change that would impact their future, than so can the families of our town.

We have a committee that is meeting to improve Meekatharra’s positive abilities to impact others.
I hope to report more of our actions after that meeting.

In the meantime, I would appreciate any hints or support to help lift the vibration & wellbeing of our town.

Take care

Getting ready for Anzac

2008-04-21T23:36:00.000-07:00

This is a special time for Meekatharra; most of us rise early, drive down the road to Paddy’s flat which is run by the Veterans Legion of Australia and remind ourselves of the ones we lost. The NZ contingent is there as well.
I find it a very proud time in our town, as the guys prepare the flag posts & the rose garden. and now they have taken the statue from the main street and erected it in the centre where the ceremony takes place.

I popped down their earlier today and everything is blooming even the road into paddy’s flat has fresh tar & stones laid, the neighbors or most of them have mowed the lawns & weeded the gardens. It looks great.

Many old faces show themselves around this time, all those prospectors that go out bush return for this 1-day event.
Even though Meekatharra is a small town, you don’t see people for months at a time, until Anzac morning.
I love it when our men & woman wear their medals and in uniform, the way they salute and put pride where it is deserved.

After the ceremony we have a Breakfast together, the guys cook, and it’s great to catch up, then we socialize & drink all day.

This is one area of town we don’t have to worry about when it comes to “Tidy Town”
These guys help anyone that helps themselves’ and I respect them all.
The amount of volunteer hours they give is amazing.

The issue that the town has with this area is that they get broken into by local children that have no respect and the guys repair the damage & clean up time after time.

That’s why the town I live in needs so much focus and why I choose this time to encourage the towns many projects to lift the town from the poor image it currently has throughout Australia.

If you feel like traveling somewhere different now’s the time, as tourist season is about to start. If you pass through town on Anzac, come to Paddy’s flat at day break and join in the crowd.

Otherwise I hope you have a special place where you can be to remember those that defended us.

People Coming Back

2008-04-17T05:52:00.000-07:00

There are people coming back to Meekatharra that have been away awhile.
Good to see.

I went to a meeting

2008-04-16T06:22:00.000-07:00

Earlier today I meet 2 women travelling that were involved with youth art, that’s one of requirements for my map. Instinctively we are drawing the right energy around us. Very pleasing

I went to a meeting today, it was basically a report of what support & resources were available. I could see those that are looking for hope and they weren't all from my town.
I walked away grateful for the contacts.

It's hard for me to contain myself as I can foresee what is to come, inspiring this town is taking little effort, and ideas are manifesting as they are spoken.

We have a "Tidy Town" committee; I'll hang in with them. It'll keep me focused. Their deadline is July 12 weeks away. Plenty of time to create miracles : )

I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings

Meekatharra needs Healing energy

2008-04-16T06:13:00.000-07:00

Dear Readers
Thank you for coming

We require Extreme & Intense focus from everyone around the world
Meekatharra requires as many Healers as the world has to offer
and Every Belief System focused
we need the Strongest Energy Raising ideas.

I believe that there is a lack of love & respect which causes issues in our town. There is hardly any privacy, no “my” spaces or somewhere to take the family. It’s like being in 4 walls.

I rode my bike & walked all over the town the other day, it was the strangest day I have ever had, but it felt as if I was being lead.

I realized that I drew in a lot of negative energy and then healing certain individuals as I came across them.
I also said things I usually do not say to people, and it was pretty intense, but it was like they got shock treatment of love or healing. Weird day truly. I even got a phone call to ask if I was all right.

The next day within 24hrs a lot of energy had changed. There were hardly any men at work and so we had a woman’s day. We were being very productive and dined with the best of food, danced, told stories, made plans, It was 1 great work day for everyone.

Focused energy is what we need to heal ourselves and make our town shine.

I love living here so much; It amazes me how people think that this place is shit.

Meekatharra is a lifestyle to be enjoyed.

If I can draw the right energy, support & resources, I know this change will go in the history books, as the town that “Set the Standards”, I guess that’s better than “Tidy Town Award”.

As in The Secret I am asking the universe for help and unlimited resources in any form.

Please help me, help my own Backyard, Meekatharra.

I have a sound Operational Map constructed.

If you have any Questions please don't hesitate to contact me, it’s a small town : )

and for those of you that doubt

JUST WATCH ME!!!!!!
