Is Patience a virtue?

Tue, 6 June 2017

I don’t know if you are aware of what has been happening in my life over the past couple of months. Luke (my husband) and I decided to go ahead and have a family – due to circumstances I won’t go into here and after a lot of different options we opted for surrogacy in the Ukraine. Our son Hector was born on 7th April 2017 and he is a source of constant delight and joy.

There is a lot of paperwork and officialdom to get a passport for Hector and we needed to do a DNA test before the passport is issued. We did the first test at the end of April while living in Kiev and then decided to travel to Odessa (which is by the sea to wait for the passport and get out of the city) 10 days later we heard that the Ukrainian doctors had messed up the test and it needed to be repeated – annoying, but mistakes happen. Luke and Hector flew up to Kiev for the day to repeat the test, which was then sent to the UK the results. On Friday last week the unthinkable happened when the UK company contacted us to say that the Ukrainian doctors had once again messed up the test – this simply “rocked our world” What I said I could not repeat here, but after a 10 minute swear fest we looked at how this latest travesty would affect us. It would again delay our return back to the UK. More flights to Kiev to be re-tested. I would need to travel back to the UK on my own to facilitate a planned weekend retreat. We would miss 2 funerals for much loved family members and the rising cost of rent here.

Luke and I talked through what needed to happen. We talked, breathed and put our intention to the divine to grant us more patience and grace. Realising we needed to have more faith that whatever happens will be perfect… to let go of our agenda and need to control the outcome and surrender to the divine’s plan. So do I think and feel patience is a virtue – yes I do.

I just wanted to congratulate you for putting on an amazing course, so full off learning, fun and amazing opportunities to grow. Thank you.

David Thorn, Leisure Manager

"I have learned so much from working with Pennie and gained confidence, renewed clarity and have moved forward in my life in extraordinary ways. When I look back at how I looked and felt even 5 years ago, I now feel more energetic and focused and people regularly tell me that I appear much younger than my years. Life still brings challenges, however I have some excellent tools to support me with those, and continued support from Pennie and the Acorn to Oak team whenever I need it and that makes a real difference to me every day." "Breath4Life Breath Work has been a brilliant discovery for me ... It quite literally has changed my life, from living in fear and depression to thriving and living a very full and joyful life." "The residential courses run by Acorn to Oak always bring amazing opportunities for self discovery and change. They are filled with joy and laughter, many and varied processes undertaken individually or as a group. The Inner Balance weekend has men and women learning so much about each other's way of viewing the world, speaking and thinking, allowing a greater closeness between the sexes, as well as giving both experiences which explore the inner male/female in both. It is a true celebration of feminine and masculine. The Mining the Gold Within intensive retreats offer a unique opportunity to make real and lasting changes and progress in your life. I have attended three of these and each time, my life moves forward in leaps and bounds and I feel increasingly in touch with my true nature and expression. Based in Breath4Life Breath Work and other unique processes, every participant gains huge healing - for me the proof of this has been in my daily life and relationships. I could not recommend these courses more highly."
