Driving in the countryside at this time of year feels like waking up from a delicious, afternoon nap; you know that you have to get up and move onto to other things but the cells in your body balk at the idea of any hurry. As you linger in the peacefulness, your senses slowly stirring, everything just feels good. That's the way I felt as I let the open road free… Read more
We celebrate Earth Day in April of each year. It's a time to raise our consciousness to hers and be mindful of our relationship. Hopefully, for even five minutes, we pause to personally thank her and perhaps reflect on whether we have been friends or foes. Do we treat her kindly or disregard her needs as she meets ours? So it felt right to let Earth speak. She reminds us that we are, without a doubt, more… Read more
"Your body is a temple, but only if you treat it as one." ~Astrid Alauda If you're a fan of Eckhart Tolle and have read his book A New Earth, you may remember the term 'pain-body'. It is a concept worth knowing that can open the mind and enable healing. However, identifying with our peacebody is far more, well, peaceful! The pain-body is anti-life.

In a short tour of some local shops my eye caught this little gem of a statement on a garden plaque: 'You are Here.' It seems like such an obvious statement doesn't it? Where else would you be?

They have been joyful, but they have pulled my energies outward into the world, while my Higher Self… Read more
Ahhhh. Mmmmm. Deeeelicious! The sun beamed into my heart, the soft breeze brushed my face, the birds made music, and my half-smile of gratitude found its permanent home on my lips. In that moment, nothing could have satisfied my soul more than this first evening walk in the welcoming spring air. No shivers, no bracing against the biting wind, no contracting from the cold; for the first time in months I felt as though I had the freedom to breathe. Winter doesn't sit well in my bones, so spring… Read more
With Valentine's Day just two days many people turn their focus turns to notions of love. Ah, the desire for romantic passion is still something we sometimes think we desire to save our lonely soul; to be swept off our feet with declarations of devotion and an until-death-us-do-part heart connection. While romance can make us swoon, it is simply a means to deepen attraction. If it is not carried on a foundation of higher love it is empty and fleeting.… Read more
