People say we are made up of the dark and the light. People say we must embrace both sides, and that to be whole, we cannot be just one, to be balanced we must be both. Tell me … if you set a bright light down in an empty dark room, could that light create[…]
I said to someone, about 6 weeks ago ‘I just can’t find the ground’. And I meant it. I had been through so many life changes, and I couldn’t find any ground beneath my feet—I don’t mean literally! I know what you’re thinking “Were you needing to ‘ground’, Robyn?” Answer: “Yes!” I was certainly not[…]
Sometimes our journey changes … we move from seeking outwards to seeking inwards. For me this began (a few years back) after I had completed a spiritual weekend. I had reached a point where it felt as if my Soul was crying out to be free. It’s not that I was not free, but rather[…]

Life presents many opportunities to us, and some of them we turn down out of fear, fear of failure, fear of being hurt. Fear stops us dead in our tracks. Fear keeps us trapped and limited, safe in the confines of the known. What I have come to understand lately is, sometimes there are things[…]
In words, I find myself. Why? How? I told a person once that ‘I am a Communicator’, and I did not mean that I like to talk talk talk (even though I am well known for it), rather that I am a cosmic communicator from the vast expanse of myself. Since childhood I have loved[…]
Though we may often see the beauty of this world, there is also much to see that is not beautiful Though we may often feel the joy of this world, there is also much to feel that is not joyful Though we may often hear the beautiful sounds of this world, there is also much[…]
Change is inevitable. In fact, the only constant (aside from death and taxes!) is ‘change’. I talked previously about how gut-churningly scary it can all be when we are in the midst of it. What I want to share with you now is how, when you reach that most terrifying part, when you expected to[…]
Change is not always easy… It can feel as if we are being demolished on the inside, ready for renovation. Sometimes in the midst of making a change that we know is right, fear can well up inside us so powerfully that we can barely breathe. Our heart aches, our sternum aches, our guts aches[…]
Two days a week I work in a metaphysical shop, and yesterday a man came in to buy a gay pride necklace and a gay pride ring. He was in his fifties, and was so upset by the Orlando shootings that he wanted to do something, anything … and for him, it was to[…]
Hands up everyone who found May a really really tough month? If I had to use one word to define the month, it might be ‘stormy’. But … the reason things happen, the reason they come up is because we are ready to deal with them. Or, we are ready to support someone else to[…]
Welcome to my newly re-designed website. Welcome to my first public admission of who I am and how I work. Welcome to this space in which authenticity is guaranteed. For most of my life I have sought to understand this world, and to understand myself. That journey took me outward, searching, seeking, reading, studying, practising,[…]
On Saturday 12th March I gave a talk on Soul & the Art of Writing – Where they meet and where they dance. I am not going to brag…but…I totally rocked that talk! I was ‘on fire’. Why? Because I was in my passion, speaking from my heart and soul. It was a beautiful experience[…]
For me writing is a way of opening up, allowing, connecting to something beyond myself. It is not the making up of story, but the revealing of a story. I have always loved story, it is the oldest form of teaching. And so it is no surprise that it is story that makes a beautiful[…]
It has been quite a journey from decision to self publish to actually having the books in my hands. And like a proud mother, I am very excited to share her with the world. My gift to you is Chalice. Chalice’s gift to me is the understanding of what I, as a writer, am doing.[…]
On Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th September I will be at the Body Mind Spirit Festival here in Christchurch (NZ). If you are here in Christchurch on those days I extend a personal invitation to you to come along to the Festival and say ‘Hi’. I will be promoting and sharing my visionary novel, CHALICE,[…]
The BMW Z3 went against all the styling principles of the 90s. It stepped away from formulaic, number crunched boredom, it left the ‘let’s do what everyone else is doing’ approach, and it created something the market had not seen for 40 years! A car with true, sleek, sexy style! The typical modern car is,[…]
I love my jobs!!! How does this happen? How does a 53 year old woman end up working part time in a cycle shop? Simple! I am incredibly immature! And I may be a little bit crazy. Though I am a passionate cyclist, I am, first and foremost, a writer. It’s in the blood, the[…]
It is a simple concept and an undervalued concept. You rush through life so fast that you barely have time to taste the food you eat, or notice that which is around you. What would happen if you slowed down and performed every single act of your day with reverence? You would rise from your[…]
Meeting a person, beginning a new path, opening up to new ventures…it truly is all about timing. When the time is right, it will happen. When you are meant to meet, it will happen. And no sooner. Your impatience, your frustrations, these are merely your Soul feeling that which is coming, that which is in[…]
It is not easy living in the world. You are subject to many things, and you take on board so much that is not who you are, and yet you allow it to define you in so many ways. You are mistreated, and this teaches you to feel valueless. You are hurt, and this teaches[…]
When we are in a space of pain, we see the world through that pain, we respond to the world through that pain. When we are in a state of peace, we see the world through that peace, we respond to the world through that peace. When we are in a state of joy, we[…]
Dreams. Do we dare to admit them, to chase them? Or do we merely take comfort in the idea of the dream? There is nothing wrong with taking comfort in the idea, but why do you do that? Why don’t you pursue the dream? Why don’t you try? Most likely, if you look beneath the[…]
We stay within our comfort zone because it is safe. It asks nothing more of us than what we are comfortable doing or being. We can, quite peacefully, remain living within that comfort zone for the rest of our lives. But, if we desire to grow, to expand, to know ourselves, then there will come[…]
If your thoughts create your world, what world are you creating? If your thoughts create your environment, what environment are you creating? If your thoughts create your day, what kind of day are you creating? There was a time when I did not understand this, and though the concept seemed great, I did not really[…]
It has been an incredible time for me lately. The growing awareness of universal principles of life that have been revealing themselves to me with such clarity. So often I, like many other people, have ‘wanted’ this or that, and have waited for it. I speak of things as simple as being in a state[…]
