The Essence

Hello Beautiful Soul As I continue to walk my path, literally and figuratively, I find the greatest experiences come from simply being me. The real me. The real me that I have unbound from all the stories that I have believed from outside. And all the stories that I continue to unravel that I have written for me. For me, this is the real work that I am here to do. It doesn’t matter what my profession or title may be, I am here to uncover the essence of me. To allow her to come through and...

Hello Beautiful Soul Thank you for bearing with me and for learning to listen to your own beautiful Soul. As we each walk our own expansive path it becomes ever easier to know which way to go. With ever greater certainty. As we become more confident at listening to our inner world and the guidance it provides. For sometimes the guidance is subtle. A knowing. A feeling. A sense of something. And it is through learning to recognise and trust these more subtle signposts that we open up a whole...

Hello Beautiful Soul On this ever unfolding journey of mine, I have considered many times what home means to me, and how that definition changes and unfolds. How nowadays it is more of a recognition where I feel authentically aligned. Without as well as within. It is a further dismantling of old ideas. Things that no longer serve me even if they did once upon a time. It is also the invitation to create the idea or concept of home from this new space. From the new space that I find myself in....

Hello Beautiful Soul You find me in a beautiful part of the world. This week I am writing to you from the mountains of Northern California. I am taking part in a training within a beautiful community of lightworkers. As a further extension of respect for myself and my process, I am turning things on their head this week. As the saying goes – a picture tells a thousand words – and so I invite you to join me on this most magical journey by immersing yourself in the energy and vibration of the...

Hello Beautiful Soul Here we are once again at the start of a new week and what feels like a very potent one. One filled with portent. Of which I know not yet. Maybe you can feel it too manifesting as an internal call of some sort for your attention. After a week of travel and visiting different places I am grateful to be still again, further north in California, staying with friends. An ideal opportunity to integrate what has come before to allow space to be freed up for what is yet to come....

Hello Beautiful Soul I have exchanged the noise and clamour of the city for a very different environment. One in which my nervous system is beginning to reset. To step down from high alert. And re-member that it is safe. I began to notice this on Friday morning. With my luggage loaded in my hire car I experienced the city in a whole new way. A way I hadn’t felt before. I had the distinct feeling of safety. This was a huge sigh of relief which was invigorating as I made my way slowly towards...

Hello Beautiful Soul And Welcome to California! Thank you for sharing this ride with me and for walking your own beautiful road as I walk mine. I am feeling a little weary as I sit and write to you this afternoon. I am seated in a beautiful hotel lobby for some peace and some secure WiFi. Having recognised how last week took its toll, I spent the greater part of my first two days being still. Resting. I am still acclimatising to being in a big city again. The assault on the senses has been...

Hola Beautiful Soul And welcome to the last edition of The Road from Mexico. It seems strange knowing I am leaving in a couple of days. It doesn’t seem real right now. It’s re-minding me of other closures. Endings before new beginnings and, as always, what Divine and perfect timing. I hadn’t realised when I booked my flight that I would be travelling under the energy of a Full Moon. What makes it even more pertinent, and feeling much more personal, is the sign. For it’s the Full Moon in...

Hola Beautiful Soul It has been quite a week in my world. A real shedding of the old even with the influence of last week’s New Moon. Maybe it would be more apt to say that the new is marking a clearer way through, and I am seeing more clearly what it is that continues to fall away. Re-membering that we need not carry anything that we do not desire to carry. Anything or anyone. We are here to evolve through stripping away everything. To lay ourselves bare. To the true beauty and raw essence...

Hola Beautiful Soul I am blessed. I know I am. To be travelling the world. Doing what I Love. Following my heart. Following my JoY. Following my bliss. At the same time, when life delivered me a truck load of lemons one day, I had a choice. Initially I collapsed under the weight. I fell into and out of fear and even experienced abject terror. Yet through my willingness, and the grace of the passage of time, I began to see that there was another way. Even though I couldn't recognise it at...
