Loss And Grief

In Memory of those whose love has touched my life…

May grief be a reminder of the height, depths and breadth of the love you’ve been blessed to share.

Strength Flowing through New Growth

I love growing my garden from seeds! This morning a new beet shoot popped out of the seedbed carrying with it this small stone. Seeing this led to a wonderful realisation about the strength inherent in new growth.

Fragile?

No. The new shoots of growth are flexible and want to endure.

Life is a series of new beginnings. Thriving requires understanding our inner power and cultivating patience and diligence. Daring to plant and consciously attend a new seed of starstuff (any decision) is well worth the wait. Witnessing the beauty and blessings that emerge fills me with gratitude.

Renewal

It’s been 35-years today since my 2nd NDE, the day I was given the choice to go hOMe, or stay. Staying meant making a promise to remember, and share everything. It was a simple decision, but it has not always been easy. Today I renewed that choice, and promised to stay, grateful beyond words for the opportunity to be of service.

The Proust Questionnaire

Vanity Fair has long been my favourite airplane read, the airport bookstore my first stop after checking in for a flight. The first page I turned to, past tense given that I’ve not been on a plane for two years, was always the same, the Proust Questionnaire.

Recently excavating my computer on a quest for an old document, I found my responses to these simple questions in a miscellaneous folder. It was interesting how what it pulled up from deep inside me in 2012, was still true, even though it feels like we are living in a different universe.

My responses:

1 What is your idea of perfect happiness?

Knowing I’m safe to experience and appropriately express what I’m feeling in the moment.

2.  What is your greatest fear?

Knowing it’s unsafe to experience or appropriately express what I’m feeling in the moment.

3. What is the trait you most deplore in yourself?

Failing to recognise when patience is no longer a virtue.

4. What is the trait you most deplore in others?

Hypocrisy.

5. Which living person(s) do you most admire?

Alessio Morassut & DAR

6. What is your greatest extravagance?

Chocolate (daily) & cashmere (when I can afford it!)

7. What is your current state of mind?

Focused.

8. What do you consider the most overrated virtue?

Hope.

9. On what occasion do you lie?

I choose silence rather than buying the lie that lying keeps another from being hurt.

10. What do you most dislike about your appearance?

That the holes in my pierced ears have stretched.

11. Which living person do you most despise?

I despise a person’s behaviour, not any person.

12. What is the quality you most like in a man?

Authentically listening, hearing, understanding, accepting, seeing, and responding from the source of Love.

13. What is the quality you most like in a woman?

Authentically listening, hearing, understanding, accepting, seeing, and responding from the source of Love.

14. Which words or phrases do you most overuse?

“Ya think?”

15. What or who is the greatest love of your life?

The knowledge that shows how science and spirit are naturally connected.  

How would you answer these questions?

Changing

The changing seasons are something of a paradox this year. Usually as the weather cools and the sun rises earlier and sets later as we turn the clocks back, my body, heart, brain and soul follow suit.

Not this year.

Everything seems clearer, more vibrant. It feels like the fluidity of Time is changing, the Cosmic Clock’s jeweled mechanisms re-synchronizing so its hands spin faster, churning space inside and out.

Today’s most essential exercise?

To intentionally breathe.

Warmed by The Mother

Today it’s been 33 years + 1 year + 1 day since the life altering race over the frigid Alps in a hot air balloon. It’s 16℃, a bit warmer in the sun, and after working in the veggie garden planting watermelon and cherry tomatoes, I cut an avocado and decided it was the perfect time to take an afternoon nap on Mother Earth. After an hour of bliss my heart is flooded with gratitude, deeply appreciating my peace of sky.

Be kind to yourself today and take a few moments to appreciate every breath.

Doing so is magical.

New Knowledge from Ancient Wisdom.

Coming soon!

What if...

If this is true what it says about our inner and inter-connections is that with love and purity of intent for all sentient life, conscious co-operation makes anything possible 💜

Honour the Diversity that Makes Unity True

KARMA: KISS OR BITE?

Living my life Purpose on purpose for over 30-years has not been easy. I’ve learned that each of us is the only person authorised to be the author of our life story. Our choices write the script. We audition and hire the cast of characters who play every role. Like a Jungian dream, we are every scene. We are every player and their lines or lies are an echo of what’s true for us.

Our choices —those we make, those we take, and those we decide to abdicate— determine the quality of our lives and every relationship. 

Authenticity.

It’s ours to own or abandon. Either way, shaming and blaming someone else for our decisions is bogus.

Disregarding facts puts our lives and the lives of others at risk.

Karma kisses, but karma also bites. Hard.

Anxiety And Awaiting

When faced with a choice, consider how it might affect your health and heart. When choices are aligned with your values -your reasons for living- they don’t cause anxiety, eat your time or mess up your priorities. A decision that benefits you and others is a best decision. When you dare to say “Yes”, surrender and allow Love to grow.

Remember that every breath is a gift, and know that health, ‘wellth’ and happiness are experiences that follow wisdom.
