Patience visited me
And it reminded me
That good things take time to come to fruition
And grow slowly with stability
Peace visited me
And it reminded me
That I may remain calm through the storms of life
Regardless of the chaos surrounding me

Surrender Is relief.
Surrender is strength.
Surrender means it’s over.
I have learned to love this space.
Walking away from confrontation, argumentative attitudes and bloated egos brings peace - it just feels better. And when that little voice in our he
I owe myself an apology
For all the times
I tore myself apart.
When I neglected my own needs
Lowered my standards
Berated myself
And put myself down.
For the self-sabotage
I continually inflicted upon myself
And the times when I apologized
For being
Pause.
Curl this blessing
beneath your head
for a pillow.
Wrap it about yourself
for a blanket.
Lay it across your eyes
and for this moment
cease thinking about
what comes next,
what you will do
when you rise.
Let this blessing
gather itself to you

THE LOSS OF A MOTHER
Is an inevitable part of our life.
We know it will come around
and we know the day will hurt
but we are not prepared,
never prepared
for the tearing.
The tearing of a part of our soul
from its very seams

Big Lesson
Today it feels so simple:
we are here to take care of each other.
How could we ever forget?
As if soil could forget
it is here to feed the trees.
As if trees could forget
they are here to feed the soil.
How could anything

One Consciousness
God’s consciousness fills the universe.
Everything contains and expresses it.
The world is alive, awake, aware,
loving, and breathtakingly intelligent.
We each share this consciousness
though we wrap it in personal iden
WHEN WE’RE OLDER
When we’re older,
let’s meet every Sunday at 4,
in that cute little cafe we love.
Let’s laugh at our foibles,
our mishaps and then,
release our mistakes to above.
We can share our new wrinkles,
each hair that’s turned grey,

DON’T MISS YOUR OWN PARTY
You know that feeling, when you have daily cleaned, cooked and prepared for a big family get-together or party?
You bustle around doing everything and making sure everyone has a wonderful time and when you finally do get the

MAYBE PEOPLE DON’T WANT TO STOP GRIEVING…
Maybe they are terrified,
that the grief they feel is the last thing they have left of that person.
That if they move on from the grief,
they will lose the final connection.
The only t
Make no mistake, it was women like you, like me, who burned on those pyres for their ‘witchcraft’.
Women who listened to their instincts, who connected with other souls on unseen levels.
Women who healed, who loved fiercely and who saw what some e

NO WAITING ROOM
What if you didn’t wake up tomorrow and your soul is watching down thinking of all the things you didn’t get to do yet because you were too scared, or too shy, or too worried about money. And all the th

WHEN YOU CANNOT BEAR YOUR BODY
The days when you cannot bear to exist within your own body, are the days you must really sit there and feel the vessel you live in.
Consider its structure, the layers, the
« Pourquoi aimer les animaux?
Parce qu'ils vous donnent tout, sans rien demander.
Parce que contre le pouvoir de l'homme armé, ils sont sans défense.
Parce qu'ils sont des enfants éternels, Parce qu'ils ne savent pas ce qu'est la haine ou la guerre.

Condolences to all friends in the UK and throughout the Commonwealth on the passing of Queen Elizabeth. She was a goodly Queen, who championed joy and dignity and who handled adversity with grit and grace.

JOY
Joy does not arrive with a fanfare,
on a red carpet strewn with the flowers of a perfect life.
Joy sneaks in, as you pour a cup of coffee,
watching the sun hit your favourite tree, just right.
And you usher joy away,

Anti-ageing creams,
pills and potions,
anti-ageing masks,
scrubs and lotions,
put them on your skin,
to smooth away the years,
pat around your eyes,
your neck up to your ears.
And don’t forget your hands,
they will give the game away,
