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[…]
