So for my 105 days on Hive, As much as I wanted to participate in last weeks LOH community contest #2, I could just not find the time to tell you all what was on my ever growing bucket list.
So in this weeks contest, organised by 
Question 1: Will you show us your 'Mask'?
An opportunity for those who are… “Selfie Shy”, so why not got with the opposite of last week’s contest 
So, in this photo taken just a couple of months ago, I was protected against all things including but not limited to- Frostbite, winter, the sun, turning to ashes in the sunlight, Zombies, the paparazzi, Corona Virus, werewolves, vampires, the other zombies, the government and life. 🤣😂😅😆😁
And then this mask is one of my 170 designs from my #Redbubble Shop here https://www.redbubble.com/people/CHOCOLATESCORPI/shop But this one is my absolute favourite and is special to me because this was the wreath made for my Mum's funeral. And I know that some of you may think that me using the wreath as a design is morbid, when infact it was the last moment I had on this earth with my Mum before she was buried and I know that she would have absolutely adored the entire wreath as much as I do, and as much as I adore her, so When I wear it, I wear it with so many wonderful memories of her- and not just the memories of her being alive, but also good memories (to wash away the bad) of her in her death.
And I know that some of you are going to think that that statement is pretty bizarre too, but I watched the colour drain from her face as my mum took her last breaths (which was NOT a pretty sight, but an honour and a privilege to be there with her till the end) and so in death, I now have the happier memory to wash away that one, as I painted her nails purple for the last time, Put make up on her face- pink eye shadow to match her lilac outfit and her Scottish tartan cap, plus a whole bunch of photos, cards, sentimental jewelry, the icing flowerettes from her 50th wedding anniversary cake and her birds green feathers everywhere to fly her home. I then laid my gorgeous Cat Chad- who was in a deep freezer for about 12 months (That's another story) on her feet to keep her company in their afterlife.
And Mum, like me, loved her bright colours, her reds, pinks and purples...Ha and her blues, greens and yellow too... too and took pride in her appearance and loved to dress up as much as I do, so I know that she would have loved the wreath and would be happy with me wearing it around now too.

Now for Question 2: If you celebrate Halloween/Day of the Dead (Día de Muertos) how will you go about doing so under the Covid19 backdrop?
As I don't celebrate Halloween cause it's Halloween, I celebrate my birthday which happens to be All Hallows Eve- the 30th Oct, so Halloween and I tend to go hand in hand....😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁🤣🤣

I will move onto Question #3: Do you have a special quiet place to go to be by yourself to think about things, or make important decisions?
The Change in seasons often equates to important decisions. I have a lovely, peaceful place to go to meditate, think, and pray when I am faced with hard decisions. For example, a place like: a Beach spot, Park bench, a City scape or river side view?
I do have many places that I can go to think, but there only 2 where I can find total solitude in, and this is one- which is my secret rainforest right in the heart of the city here and believe it or not, I am usually lucky enough that I do get it all to myself as some people just walk though it and keep going, but most others walk right past it and don't even look in. Can you believe it?

BUT, the place that ticks all of the boxes for me- that special quiet place to go to be by yourself to think about things, or make important decisions is here- Home sweet home. (which is actually quite lucky cause I've pretty much been locked up in her for the past 7 months...)
And this place is MY sanctuary away from the silliness. My own nano rainforest in amongst the gray concrete jungle.

And here- the ultimate of havens away from all hell...my cocoon, my think tank, my retreat, my absolute inner sanctum is here
And I look up to this as I'm laying down thinking, planning, dreaming, deciding.
And I look up to the truth. The truth in me and all of you- that I am love and light and so are all of you.

YOU are ALL LOVE and LIGHT too! So when you look up to the skies, say that to yourself every day and you will become love and light to yourself and then to the earth. (this was for a grief therapy exercise- a mantra given to me by an amazing woman by the name of #LorettaHoneychurch who is a healer and a personal life coach, among many other things this highly talented lady is known for https://www.lorettahoneychurch.com/biofield-tuning
Anyway, I hope that you enjoyed my submission for the #LadiesOFHive contest #3 by
