I have an idea around astrology that is slowly germinating inside me. Something I am planning on adding as a practice when the shop is up and running... Astrology, as I may have mentioned, is something that has become a large part of how I see the world, make sense of it but, maybe thanks… Continue reading Star struck
My title is somewhat tongue in cheek. I am sure you've gathered by now that I like to play with words and especially their meaning. Today I'm in the UK's ultimate marketplace, Oxford Street. Technically Bond Street but it is has the same feel. I am endeavouring to keep myself in the mind of my… Continue reading Service to humanity
Something I will always be grateful for is the feeling of energy and renewal that I get the day I feel myself again. I am still sniffling but no longer sneezing and I can almost feel my cells jiggling about again after they've been stuck in icky, lethargic mode. But I have learnt (much to… Continue reading Renewed resources
I visited my shop today. On the etheric plane. Today was the first day of the year I've spent completely on my own. At first I was out of the rhythm of it after having my other half with me, and the company of other special souls, for the last two weeks. I woke up,… Continue reading Soft tingles, warm whispers
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
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
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
If ever I had an affirmation about following this journey where ever it may lead it was last night. Another work Christmas party for me and a chance to spend time connecting with colleagues and inevitably the question comes up from them about my plans for next year. Throughout my time exploring these unknown "unsciencey"… Continue reading Adverse reaction
Whilst nursing my red wine hangover I've been thinking about the power of community today. Not a community interest based or geographical, rather the sense of community. At the dinner last night I felt it. I am blessed that the people I work with have a close connection, almost familial. I not only watched that… Continue reading Feeling the love
Our sitting room is full of boxes and half wrapped gifts today. That coupled with various accroutrements that have gathered over the week has created a little bit of a chaotic living environment. So what better day to start thinking about space. Another theme in my life or even another watchword of mine is space. … Continue reading Sacred space and the City
