New Moon, new you...

Hello Beautiful Soul If you have been with me for a while you know that I am a fan of astrology. The real science rather than those daily generic horoscopes you might have seen. It is something that fascinates me. And it fascinates me more, the more I explore it and the wisdom that it contains. For I have found it to be a great mirror for me. A great way for me to understand myself at a deeper level than ever before. My understanding is unfolding and deepening completely naturally, as it...

Hello Beautiful Soul I have started writing again on Medium1. It’s been something I’ve been meaning to do for a while. To get into a new rhythm and share more of my work with the world. I’d been put off by the tech side. That part of me that said “I don’t know how to do this.” It felt like every time I looked at it, something had moved or was different. Like the goal posts were moving too fast. Until my determination kicked in. And I was energetically in the right space. An aligned...

Hello Beautiful Soul It’s Sunday morning as I write to you. There is a stillness in the air after last night’s storm. A dramatic affair with lightning criss crossing and cracking against the sky. Today marks a special occasion for me. A moment of consideration. Reflection. And recognition. Five years ago today, I sent out the first edition of this newsletter. Originally entitled ‘Manifesting Miracles’ it has evolved as I have. A perfect reflection of my own journey for all the world to see....

Hello Beautiful Soul Is it time to re-member to breathe, to pause, to let out a long slow exhale? The energy has felt intense the last few days. Like an unexplained urgency pushing forwards, requiring action. And as much as we all always have things that we need to do, more often than not there are few that require our urgent attention. It has felt very elemental. The energy of fire that wishes to create, burn, transform. And yet what is it really time for? Maybe what it’s really time for is...

Hello Beautiful Soul Each day brings something different. Energetically and otherwise. I’d like to think I’m getting better at recognising what this is and yet I’m not sure about this. Not to dismiss myself or my capabilities in any way, merely a recognition that there is still a long way to go. In terms of learning. Growth. Expansion. The never ending road. Right now I am ready for the road to slow down or stop. And with that intention, desire and absolute necessity, I am putting down some...

Hello Beautiful Soul Today there is determination. There is a strength rising up that hasn’t been there for a couple of days. Maybe all week. A re-minder of my resilience. The resilience that is inherent within me that has been born out of so many things. My lifetime to date. And probably many others too. It is the recognition of the old adage that this too shall pass. That truly nothing remains the same. And as much as we can feel anything from anxious to downright desperate in any given...

Hello Beautiful Soul The Universe works in mysterious ways, of that there is no doubt. Yet what if that is simply an expression of our lack of understanding. Or more accurately our capacity to understand. To make sense of something so vast and interconnected from the tools and resources that we contain. With that comes a huge amount of freedom if we choose to embrace it. To walk in deeper trust and fuller surrender. Knowing that we will be shown what we need to know when we need to know it....

the mountains of Montana

Hello Beautiful Soul As I progress along my path, I am noticing how I am being called to step into the unknown more and more. Like a new level of surrender is being asked of me. Releasing any threads that I may still be clinging on to. Highlighted this past week in a very human sense as I made my way from Montana to New England. An anticipated one day trip that turned into two. Asking me to release yet more, any expectation of knowing where I am meant to be. It feels like life is asking me to...

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...
