I recently attended a business seminar ang got chatting to one of the other participants. We were talking about the concept of making friends. As I shared my own process of connecting with people and developing friendships, I received a vision or analogy that seems very fitting, and I'd like to share with you. When people ask me to describe myself, I say that I’m “multidimensional” This is because I have so many facets to me, like the most beautiful crystal. No matter what angle you look at this crystal from, you will discover something new and wonderful. The beauty is in the variety. Some aspects of the crystal may look dirty or terrifying…yet when viewed as a whole, the...
Sometimes the most precious things are sitting in plain view, and we are blind to them. That happened to me a few weeks ago. A friend invited me to meet a new crystal wholesaler in the area, and I spent a wonderful hour browsing his shop, selecting a handful of goodies. I was sitting, waiting to pay, when I heard someone asking about one of the larger crystal clusters on display. “That’s apophyllite,” the wholesaler said, “from Poona in India.” Immediately my radar went up as high as it could. Apophyllite? Wow, it’s been years since apophyllite has crossed my path. In fact, for the past 10 years I’ve had a very tiny apophyllite crystal sitting with me on my...
I love how animals come into our consciousness at the perfect time. It’s not that they weren’t there before…it’s just that they make themselves known to us in an energetic way, so that we suddenly wake up and pay attention to them. This has happened to me this past few weeks around Water Dragons. What’s a Water Dragon, you might ask? It’s similar to a Bearded Dragon (a large lizard), except that it’s water loving. In fact, I have one Water Dragon that lives around my property. It will race for my salt water pool and dive into the water if I catch it by surprise. It happily swims around on the bottom of the pool, or clings to...
In my blog “The Silent Warriors”, I shared about a little possum who had found shelter in the garage of a property that’s about to be sold. This property has been in my family for 75 years, and by the time you read this, it will have already been sold. I’d been thinking about this possum a lot since that first encounter, wondering if she was still living in her makeshift cardboard nest in the old garage. Finally, the day arrived. It was time for me to travel to Brisbane to pack up all my belongings, prior to the removalists arriving the following morning. It was a Sunday afternoon, and as the sun started to cool a little, I ventured...
Once we’ve let go of the past, we are ready to welcome new beginnings into our life, and embrace exciting new adventures. Intuitively pick a number between 1 and 9, and see which affirmation is choosing you today: 1. I stand in trust, knowing that I’m exactly where I need to be in this very moment 2. A one degree shift in mindset is all that it takes to change this reality for something even better. 3. I receive more of what I’m grateful for. In this moment let me be grateful for every gift that life has given me, and every lesson that has helped to mould me into who I am today. 4. In the blink of an eye...
