Sometimes we feel blue. Sometimes we just cannot contain sadness. The emotions overwhelm and spill over, filling the eyes, the heart may feel heavy, and the body filled with sighs. Sometimes we feel blue and there is nothing we can do. We can take stimulants, drink coffee, exercise, distract, and then we have a moment of silence, of quiet and the blues return again.

You felt excited, invigorated, full of potential; you smelled the scent of new in the air. Full of vigour, you marched forward into 2013. Expecting…
View PostI made a promise to myself in 2013 to practise an attitude of gratitude daily. Admittedly, 2013 has not started the way I imagined it would, and gratitude has been far from my mind. With physical curve balls, emotional curve balls and fear curve balls all showing up at the same time my ego said ‘Gratitude?! YEAH RIGHT!’. 1. Today, Mike took me for a walk (wide grin – I sound…
View PostWhere does our need to help come from as humans? Do we help when we see someone hurting or in trouble? What is help? When does help become unwanted or intrusive?

View PostIt it seems the path of the heart is what we all genuinely desire, deep down within us. Home, Source, God, Creator – whatever we name or label the energy that creates all things has always resided within us. Yet most of us have been so easily distracted by the trappings of the ego, the mind and the desire of the surface self, that we’ve missed out on the…

View PostAfter grappling with something this week I recognised that it is time to be proud of my uniqueness. I browse around countless other sites on-line, blogs, websites, You Tube channels, Facebook pages etc etc.. and I sit and wonder: ‘Why do they have so many followers? What do they do that I do not?’ And so it began, a thought process. Mike helped me understand some of it this morning. He said when…
View PostAre you bossy? Controlling? Manipulative? Arrogant? Patronising? Sarcastic? Naughty? Rebellious?.. When you beat yourself up for these qualities did you know that you may be imposing limits on who you are? Have you considered that certain personality traits seen as flaws or weaknesses simply require your loving acceptance? Have you ever met a person who doesn’t give a damn what anybody else thinks of them? ‘Flaws’ and all?…
