Well time has passed and many challenges with it since I last blogged up in here.
hmm I have had a massive self journey since I last blogged. Many learning curves have occurred and some not so easy to learn from but none the less all important in helping me get better for the next stages of our campaign.
As one door may close new ones have opened and these doors are a breath of fresh air and they are opening them to me for the right reasons - not for their own selfish gain. It will be interesting to see what I can create with these opportunities that are now crossing my path - rather exciting for me I think. With the freedom from certain agitators I find myself for the first time since they got involved with me I am now able to move forward again instead of always getting dragged down by them and thier own selfish agenda's. They have served their purpose with me and I have served mine with them. It is time to move on and take what I and Icarus Falls have created into new heights.
Our vision is getting clearer every day and there are some great ideas getting tossed around right now for the Aussie Queens OZ and NZ Queen Fan club and also for the fan site. I think I am finally starting to look back on what I have here instead of only looking forward. Through some time out this month, I have gotten to find my place in this again and am comfortable in the shoes I am now walking in. I know this - my work to get Queen down under is far from finished I still have heaps more to do to make this all happen - and I will keep on pursuing this until I hear an official "no" from Queen management. I accept the pluses and the minuses of the campaign and all those that may not have been working in the same direction as me or the faction of the fan base that was behind me and next to me in this Quest. It is kind of a nice feeling to come to this point on my Quest as I have a feeling of self growth and calmness - something I have not felt for some time in this journey as there were always hurdles put in front of me to keep on jumping over. I think the most important thing I have realised in this is that as I jumped the last hurdle for what I thought was the final hurdle in this game it was not. I was also happy to have the fans that supported me on this Quest jump over what I thought was tthe final hurdle with me. After some free time to mill around and sort out what next - I have finally found the next doorway I must get through to secure this tour here. I am sure I have been through the hardest part of the Quest and I look forward to some of the exciting things that are happening in the next doorway I have just entered. Yes this time no back doors for me this stuff is front doors and those opening them for me now are those that have watched me from afar and saw my struggles out there and have come in now at the 3/4 mark to join me for discussions at my own table not anyone else’s. I am grateful that these people have watched my journey and are impressed and are not laying down the law. They are aware of my hardships and challenges out there and the next stage I am about to embark on and how I see it is that this is meant to be in a way - almost as if it was fate that our paths have crossed. It can only be great news for Queen and the Aussie Queens fan club members and for me too.
Seeing a life coach at this point in time is also a blessing in disguise - as I won these life coaching sessions with Margaret at the AQ last meetup. I did not know what life coaching was about and thought it was a lame first prize - but I was quiet wrong with my assumptions and my sessions with Margaret has totally injected some really positive things into this quest. In some way it has helped me over come the negative experiences I went through on this quest that were not easy for me to accept that people could be like this - I feel that I am ready to reach my full potential and get the end result that we all want - Queen down under.
It is nice to know that on this quest that the hard challenges were necessary in order for me to reach this point of self growth - without them I do not think I would be as well equipped as I am now to finish this quest off. Somehow I have the feeling I will be on this quest for some time still - but I am making changes out there and all for the good of Queen and the fans that are following me or have joined me on this quest. If anything no matter what happens the greatest gift Queen ever gave me was this opportunity for me to find new aspects and strength to myself - I am sure they will never realise it but it is a gift I appreciate and hold close to my heart.
I must tell you all it saddened me today when I came across a certain post out there in from a small faction of Queen fan base where much attacking and defaming was going on towards Jim Beach, Roger Taylor, Brian May and even John Deacon. It amazes me how there are people out there in the Queen circles that can manipulate the fan base for their own selfish gain and then step away after instigating such mood towards Bri, Rog, John and Jim leaving these guys to cop the heat. Just goes to show that even within Bands not all that surrounds them is there for the benefit of the name of neither Queen nor the band members. Well I have seen this before and I am sure that their true colours will show sooner or later. Just bad luck that many innocent people are getting sucked in by their candy coated words. Well this one is not my battle to fight but I am watching and all I can tell the fan base out there – is: think before you leap or you may be leaping into the fire.
Well got to get a move on I have a newsletter to put out.
Hugs Isis
