Me time

Today's 'hug from spirit' is a card which shows a figure who has climbed a very tall tree. He is sitting happily on one of the branches, far up high and away from the world below, reading a book. The title of the book is "Time for You". How much time do you take for... Continue Reading →

Cratered by imperfections

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 →

Shine your light

It's the start of a new week and a 'hug from spirit' with a reminder to shine your light.

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 →

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 →

True colours

My head is like a busy radio. I wouldn't say it's stuck on just one station though and instead flits between one thing to another constantly. Sometimes it is thinking about mundane stuff, like what to have for dinner, other times it's unpicking a conversation I had with someone earlier. As well as all the... Continue Reading →
