The message of February’s ‘SURRENDER AND RELEASE’ reminds us of the power in “letting go”, of shedding the parts of our self (and our life) that are no longer working, nor contributing to the good of our Highest Self. When you surrender it means you can stop forcing something that may not be divine [...]
The soul’s journey is one of a peaceful existence. We listen to and allow the many ways in which the soul speaks quietly, purposefully to us and we are gently moved in the ways of spirit. What does your heart say that honours your spirit best? This is how you best guide your next actions [...]
How do we HOLD life? What does it mean to uphold a value or a core belief? How do you hold true to your word or honour the path of your chosen life purpose when there is always SO MUCH influencing our every action? ‘HOLDING Life’ is a means of sharing in it’s abundance; of [...]

What if you began to acknowledge and appreciate each of the smaller moments of life as experiences to celebrate? How would this free you to explore and journey in a different path than before? What honour and joy would you find in all of the simple moments: the sounds of crickets loudly chirping their ‘songs’ in [...]
SIGNS are one way of receiving divine guidance. Rather than resist what comes before you, consider it as a sign – a message of spirit that invites you to see another way – another path – a path that is even more perfect than the one you might have been on. Signs are important ways [...]
Spiritual growth is what happens as we begin to examine our ‘self’ by going within…often in quiet contemplation or meditation … and realizing that we are much more than the physical being that we see. Just as winter may hold a space in our lives for the ‘hibernation’ of inner observance and examination; the season of spring offers an impetus [...]
Earth Hour is a worldwide event that is organized by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF)* and is held on the last Saturday of March annually, encouraging households and businesses to turn off their non-essential lights for one hour to raise awareness about the need to take action on climate change. BUT IT’S [...]
As human beings, we have a fundamental and inherent need to experience love. Whether it manifests itself as an unconscious desire to have others like and accept us (and so our behaviour becomes motivated by this need); or an deliberate drive to experience love through our relationships, the truth is….we all seek love. Never before in the history of the [...]
It is no surprise International Women’s Day falls on my Father’s birthday. He has raised me to be my own advocate, to stand proud of my abilities and accomplishments, to seek any goal that I may choose, and to see myself as capable and equal to all of humanity. We might choose to be reminded of any [...]
The idea of deliberate f o c u s for this new month suggests not simply an ability to bring attention to something, rather a deliberate calling to have clarity – to be clear about what it is that you want – and to keep this focus clear and precise as you manifest it. What gives us [...]
We are all divinely guided. We all have the capacity for greatness: of being greatness as our true nature as beings of spirit and of love. Whether or not you believe in a higher consciousness (something we typically refer to as god): receiving divine guidance simply means that you are able to exist outside of the [...]
There is an element of love in us all that… when we bring this freely into our conscious state we become it. We exude love by the nature of our kind actions and generous spirit. Love is contagious. It frees us to be our true self and to experience the true nature of others as [...]
In November, my suggestion for an inward focus was BALANCE. Consider how balance comes to play in your life at this moment. What insights or discoveries do you make when you keep BALANCE in mind during your day? Has your definition and appreciation of balance changed to include a gentler, more loving way of living life? I am a first born. [...]
There are important reasons for knowing how to generate love from within. When you learn the process for loving SELF, you no longer require or depend on others to love you. (It is wonderful that you feel loved by others, but you no longer live in search of someone to love you). You also learn that love originates from [...]
