Last week, something happened that rocked my world. If you have been reading my blogs, you will know that last month a dear friend passed over. His name is Gary Hastie. His beloved wife Yomo (also a close friend of mine) called me shortly after he passed. “I didn’t know who else to call,” she said, as she cradled Gary in her arms. In the amazing void of that experience we call death, I comforted Yomo and honoured the passing of this great giant with a sacred ceremony involving crystals, oils and drumming.

Did you enjoy last year’s affirmations? It’s such a beautiful way to remind yourself of what’s important, and an opportunity to gift yourself a moment of “mindfulness” as you connect with the affirmation of the day. A few years ago, I came up with a very powerful set of 9 affirmations as my New Year’s Resolution.As I reflect on the year just gone and the new year to come, I realise that these affirmations are in fact a "code" we can live by, to guide us like a compass through these very turbulent and unusual times we're in, so I want to share them again in 2022. Intuitively pick a number between 1 and 9, and see which affirmation is choosing you today... As a...
Today I heard that a dear friend of mine has passed over. His name is Gary. It happened only a matter of hours ago, and Gary’s wife (who’s also a close friend of mine) called me in tears. His body was stretched out beside her, and she was holding him as we spoke, and sobbing. Whilst he’d had many health challenges (including being on dialysis), his mind and Spirit have always been so strong. He and his wife had just spent one of the most magical weekends together in the mountains with friends. Gary had taken a nap this morning and hadn’t woken up. I’m 10 hours’ drive from them, and not in a position to drop everything and drive...
It was more than thirty years ago when I read the book The Road Less Travelled, by M. Scott Peck. It was my first personal development book, and I remember coming away from that book going, “This is me!!! I’m on the road less travelled!” It was one of those “ah ha” moments in my life, when first I really “got” that I am here on this Planet to walk a spiritual path. But what does that actually mean? It is certainly not a path chosen by the masses. It is a path underpinned by consciousness and self-awareness. It is a path that involves learning, study and personal development. But all the reading and study in the world will only...
Did you enjoy last month’s affirmations? They were gems of wisdom from one of my favourite uplifting books, Chicken Soup for the Soul by Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen.There are so many gems in this beautiful book that I wanted to share Part 2 with you today, also inspired by Chicken Soup for the Soul. If you love these words of inspiration, treat yourself to a copy of the book. Reading a few pages at night is a beautiful way to move into a heart space before sleep. Intuitively pick a number between 1 and 9, and see which inspired quote is choosing you today. As a special treat, I’ve also included a Young Living oil blend to partner with your affirmation:...
