On this day last year I had an urge to write. At this stage I had no thoughts about a blog but after a long Christmas break I had an intense desire to put fingers to ipad screen and start writing. I just re-read it today and realised what it actually was. My dream starting… Continue reading 365 days ago
So here it is 2015. 304 days to go before I open my shop. I've just spent the last five minutes contemplating that sentence. Those simple few words have an incomprehensible vastness about them. It deserved a little time to just be with it and immerse. This is because today I woke up with my… Continue reading The word
Gratitude. That word sums up my year up to this very point. My present. Today I am grateful that I have built up enough stamina and physical energy to go out tonight to welcome in the New Year. In fact I am excited about the prospect rather than secretly worrying if I can make it… Continue reading The Year of Living Gratefully
Not quite the end of the month but as tomorrow is New Year's Eve I'm going to follow tradition and do what most people do on this day and look back over my year. Which leaves today to continue my own tradition of reflecting on the guidance received throughout December. From the top... 1. When… Continue reading Enjoying the view once more
For my 40th birthday two good friends, independently of each other, got me cake stands. Cake stands, for someone who doesn't bake but may like to eat the odd cake or two, usually at an afternoon tea provided by other people. As I said, home-maker, chef or baker I am not. This Christmas I opened… Continue reading Let them (not) eat cake
Today has been booked in for a dossing day or duvet day for a slightly more flattering term. In reverence to my healing space I managed a little bit of housework but mainly today has been about feeling safe and comfortable in my retreat. I've been thinking today about an area of astrology which is… Continue reading IC Me
Back to another precious space today. My home. Christmas festivities with our friends have come to an end and we have now returned to our sanctuary. I've never been someone you would call a homebody and have always been happy to spend time at other people's homes, thanks to the Piscean go-with-the-flow, Aries enthusiasm and… Continue reading Home help
As I think about what to write today the only phrase that comes to mind is "ravages of excess" otherwise known as Boxing Day in the UK. I am now wondering who said it first as according to the Google it appears to be a common phrase used by journalists and health care professionals, mainly… Continue reading Excess philosophy
I'm fairly full of Christmas dinner and just a snifter of wine and champagne (ahem) so in the spirit of drunk dialling/tweeting/status updating and now blogging I'm going to keep this short... Today I received a beautiful shove from the universe delivered by one of its earthly ambassadors, otherwise known as my other half. This...… Continue reading Christmas signs
Still encased in that magical space today which am now fairly sure is emanating from my amber pendant. Space really is a state of mind. I have realised too that like any friendship regular communication of love and care strengthens the relationship you can have with a crystal. Also like a friendship it takes a… Continue reading Reason, Season, Lifetime
