Ever increasing circles...

Have you ever noticed how when you start to address things in your own life, optimistic, positive, sorted people start to arrive in your circle of friends to help? Since the start of the year, and perhaps even earlier, that's whats been happening to us, and it's terrific! Especially because we're aware of it. Maybe we're more tuned into it now. The negative factions have simply disappeared from our own personal guest lists. Well, that's enough of the Lunicorn philosophy nuggets for now, onto what we've been up to, as we've recently discovered people are actually reading this. Body & Soul at Glasgow's Royal Concert Hall was superb, as ever, though one Lunicorn does seem to spend her time indulging herself with various treatments and therapies. Sweetie shop/kid does come to mind. Thanks to Heidi and her healing fingers! And thank you to Agenes and Donald for looking after another Lunicorn who was feeling a bit poorly. We had a lovely time with Doreen and Michael on Saturday night in Lang's before we headed off to treat ourself to a bite to eat. We popped into Pavarotti Trattoria on Cambridge Street and very quickly departed again, having been talked to quite rudely, when we made a simple request for a number of starters (all on the menu). We feltin a tapas mood, and thought we could share. Not to be. At this point, as we were walking homewards thinking we would just grab a pizza from the freezer, we spyed a wee place on Great Western Road called Enjoy. And enjoy we did. We had it to ourselves to start with, and the husband and wife team cook everything fresh. Nothing was any bother, and it had such a great vibe. And guess what, they're starting to offer tapas on Friday nights. So we took some of their leaflets and distributed them in our bags the next day at Body & Soul.
You may recall us mentioning our friends Rachael and James (the ones who have just returned from travelling the world)? Last week, we kind of invited ourselves for dinner at Rachael's mum and dad's - Pat & Bernard. Poor Pat was charged with the task of creating a veggie meal. And we can truly say, she can outcook Delia anyday. It was fantastic, and nice to be fed. And Pat & Bernard are great amiable hosts. I can just see us phoning up Rachael soon and asking if her mum and dad are coming out to play!
The big news is that we did our first adult workshop in Kelty on Sunday. Yes, ten real live grown-up people who know a thing or more about reikki. No pressure then! The feedback was good, I think they enjoyed it. Our workshop has a strong fun element to it, whilst also including the more serious side.
On Saturday Pippa Gather was strutting her stuff on the streets of the West End telling everyone about The Marketplace which was going on inside. Lots of people came for a browse, and thank you Maggie for the corks. Good to see Andy, Fraser, John and of course Great Auntie Merle.
Some friends are spending their first day at that big new building across the river at Pacific Quay. I had the joy of seeing it myself last week, and it has to be said, it is impressive. It's a good job that I no longer have to ensconce myself in said place as the restaurant is indeed licensed. Back to the kid/sweetie shop analogy.
The month of June is taken up with a variety of corporate visits, PTAs and Rainbow Guide's events before we get back into the spiritual side of things with Witchfest in July. Don't forget Nikki's mediumship demonstration at Gather on 4th June - 7.45pm. Not to be missed. And if you haven't got your copy of The Witch Hiker's Guide yet, then check out their website and let them know. We do have some copies here too.
So in the meantime, here's to circles merging, circles widening and circles over-lapping. It's great fun, if somewhat olympic.

Missing a syllable...

Yes, it would seem we are now becoming known as Laura Lunicorn and Lyn Lunicorn, except folks call us collectively Laura Lunicorn, as apparently, it 'slips off the tongue' easier. Well since Lyn Lunicorn is actually Marilyn Lunicorn, maybe that would work? But then we lose the whole 'L's Belles' malarky. Do give us your thoughts, happy to consider deed poll alterations etc. in the name of Lunicorn.
So what HAVE we been up to since last we blogged.
Well, the Mystic and Holistic day in Hamilton was rather good, we met lots of tuned in folks and June, as ever, was fab. Then popped into Tir na nOg for an impromptu barbeque and inadvertently started the veggie sausage wars.
And we launched our new pull-up banner (stop yawning!). It's very exciting and KallKwik on Great Western Road have been SO good with us. We also now can boast of Lunicorn gift vouchers -very sparkly, very magical - just what you always wanted for that friend you have who loves unicorns but you can't think what to buy?
And we'd like to thank another Laura - Lucky Cats Laura, who has been a source of objective suggestions for us, and sellophane! And cool masks!
Then we were off to New Lanark for their May Day Food and Gift Fair and a Unicorns, Fairies & Wizards children's workshop. Speaking of which, good ole Pippa at Gather in Glasgow has only gone and booked us in for another one of aforementioned on 15th July. See her website (and ours!) for details.
We had a very interesting platform sesh with renowned medium Nikki MacKay last week. Spooky dooky or what. Her accuracy left many in tears, in a good way. We believe the next date is 4th June at Gather in Glasgow at 7.45pm.
Meanwhile the Witch Hiker's guide goes from strength to strength, we heard reports of customers actually scrapping over the last copy in a Byres Road shop recently.
We hosted our stall at Tir na nOg's increasingly wonderful Craft Fair last weekend, and this weekend, it's ta da - Body & Soul at the Concert Hall in Glasgow. Always a good one for us, and well, now we do have our new pull up and stuff.
Also, for one particular collaborative writing project, we made a major leap this week. Watch this space, all will be revealed very very soon. Oooooh, isn't it all very exciting? The vibes are good. Although the common trend of thought seems to be (and we would agree) that Mercury is having a laugh. It's not supposed to turn retro till 15th June, but hmmmmm, for us shower/toaster/outside lights all blew this week, and all of our friends have had similar glitches. Well, maybe we're just being tested. Till next week.
