Well, let me tell you how excited I am to be introducing one of my all time favourite people in this universe!
My best friend Chantel a.k.a my earth goddess, mother of nature, lover of all things light, the most loving person I have met in my entire human existence.

I first met this beautiful woman at a local shopping centre nestled in the Western suburbs about 11years ago.
It was after I had lost my mum, I was searching for guidance and literally looking for anything that would give me any feeling of my mum being around, the shop Angels Realm is where our paths connected.
I walked into the shop and there she was in her own little world fluttering around the shop like a fairy tending to its garden. Except that, she looked more goddess like, this slender, olive skin, green eyed woman with crazy long curls with a bounce that sprayed out sunshine.

I automatically felt loved without even speaking to her, and that’s all I wanted to do. Speak to her. I introduced myself, told her what I had been through and where I was at and she shed light on things that I could do with compassion that I had never felt before.
Before I know it, I was doing meditation circles & meeting everyone that was in her circle. Including her beautiful mother Grace.
Chantel and Grace, gave me a sense of home and I began to open up spiritually with each encounter. We had some precious moments in those days and times I will never forget.

As time went on, I was focusing on changing my world for the better and I didn’t spend much time at the shop, but Chantel and I kept in contact from time to time.
But as I was focusing on my life and trying to discover my path, Chantel was thrown a curve ball.
This is where I believe Chantel and my journey started to form solid.
Though a little background will shed some light.
Chantel was married and had a beautiful baby boy, she had a relationship with her mother like no other. To the tune of basically doing life together.

Grace was always by Chantels side through absolutely everything and vice-versa.
Chantel has told me stories about her and her mum and how Grace had spiritual gifts that were passed on to Chantel.
Grace was a spiritual Shaman and taught Chantel not to be afraid of spirit but instead embrace them. She taught her the art of compassion and how to dance spiritually and physically.

They had been through so much together emotionally due to family dynamics, they travelled parts of the world, uprooting there lives and moving to Spain for Chantels Dad’s work for a year and half.
They experienced countless paranormal experiences together & Grace taught Chantel how to protect and honour her own spirit through these times.
But that’s not all they experienced together, they also experienced illness together.
You see, Grace was diagnosed when she was 35 years of age with breast cancer, she fought the beast off twice and was in remission. But, after many years, the beast returned this time in her pancrease. That was mid year of 2011.

Upon finding out that her mothers illness had return, in these months Chantel discovered she was pregnant with Twins.
On the 25th January 2012, Grace gave her last breath and with saying good bye to her best friend and mother, Chantel also had lost one of her twins shortly before. Ava Grace.
As you could imagine, Chantel had her soul completely ripped out and stripped. Everything she knew and felt disappeared. She spiraled down the grief path and she shut down her soul for a very, very long time.
The only strength she could provide was to try her best to look after her family and her new son to the best of her ability but this was a journey that challenged her mental well being and physical health.
From seeing this goddess like woman go down the only road I knew at the time and in which her and mother helped me steer a new direction, was soul shattering.
I decided that it was my mission to get her through these times of despair & to eventually get her back where she needed to be. But as we all know everything takes time and we all handle things differently.
Her journey will be continued in her next piece.
