There is a wonderful oracle card in one of my decks called "Moonlight". It shows a little creature standing under a full moon and a vibrant purple sky. In the background are mountains representing life's challenges and at his feet are flowers in the shape of stars as a sign of hope and healing. In... Continue Reading →
Above the clouds
Today's 'hug from spirit' is a lovely quote. Even when we are going through tough times, the sun hasn't gone away. It might be hiding above the clouds but it is still there, ready and waiting to come out. https://youtu.be/6kXomK5q3SY?si=frquPmeybDBxTsab
Shine your light
It's the start of a new week and a 'hug from spirit' with a reminder to shine your light. This might be as simple as a smile to brighten someone's day, or offering a friendly listening ear where needed. It could even be sharing your musical, sporting, or crafting talents to uplift others, or cooking... Continue Reading →
Waves of life
Have you ever been on a boat ride? One that springs to mind for me is a trip in the Mediterranean. The sun was shining and the sky a brilliant and vibrant blue colour, without a single cloud to be seen. We had been bobbing along on the waves when all of a sudden we... Continue Reading →

Lessons from nature
When Wordsworth wrote this beautiful poem, I'm guessing he didn't have a dog with him. On a walk yesterday I spotted a single solitary daffodil in the distance. It looked stunning with the sun shining on its vibrant yellow petals so I went over to investigate. My dog followed but suddenly, and out of nowhere,... Continue Reading →
Lost in thought
Don't you think this is one of the hardest things to do? To forget the "blunders and absurdities" of the day, put them behind you, and move forward. Perhaps you've had words with someone and are replaying the conversation in your head. Thinking about what you could have said and regretting what came out of... Continue Reading →
Map of life
Shakespeare said, "the course of true love never did run smooth". But the same could be said about life. It's never plain sailing. We can be bobbing along in our boat down the stream of life. The sun's out and everything feels great. Then all of a sudden along comes a storm, threatening to capsize... Continue Reading →
A life manual
Wouldn't it be great if the answers to life were in the back of a book, just like Charlie Brown ponders in this quote. Or would it? I recently got interested in Sudoku puzzles. I've been finding them quite relaxing and a way to unwind, taking my mind off what's gone on during the day.... Continue Reading →
Path to peace
I read somewhere that our brains process about 70,000 thoughts a day. That's quite shocking when you think about it (no pun intended!) but actually it seems about right. I don't know about you, but my brain is a busy highway. Thoughts, ideas, nonsense and gibberish fly through like speeding cars. In all honesty it's... Continue Reading →
