“Travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.” ~ Miriam Beard Thailand; truly a land of smiles. Here are some of the random memory-making moments of my trip thus far. – Breakfast, and novel editing, overlooking the hotel pool in […]
Remembering Nana…
My beloved Nana passed away, quietly, gently, while I was far away from home. She took her last breath peacefully on the morning of November 16. 2012. Slipping gracefully from her body, she flew off on her fairy wings (everyone who knew Joycie knew she had fairy wings!) to join all of our loved ones […]
A Psychic Kind of Day
“To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.” ~ Leo Buscaglia Just over a week ago, on my last day in Brisbane as I was running […]

Rambo, the Celebrity Dog of MBK Thailand
“The reason a dog has so many friends is that he wags his tail instead of his tongue” ~ Anonymous Those of you who read my blog will know that I have a soft spot for dogs. Although I love to travel, I eventually find myself missing my own animals, so when I’m away I […]
A Bangkok Kind of Day
“One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.” ~ Henry Miller So here I am, on holidays. My morning started early, as always, with meditation. Bangkok is the kind of place that starts late and finishes as I am waking up. So at 6am I was roaming the almost empty streets, […]
Packing My Bags. Destination? Adventure!
It’s official. NO more sleeps ’til I begin my holiday! Of course that doesn’t mean I’ve packed. Right now my house looks like a bomb’s hit it. But I trust that in a few hours everything will have been put back into some semblance of order, I shall have found my passport, my swim suit […]
Platypus Dreaming
I have a special place down on the river where I go to meditate sometimes. I walked down there this morning, just as the sky was softening with the first gentle fingers of light. There were still stars twinkling in the sky, and the cows called to me as I walked by. I settled down […]
Strengthening Intuition Week 7 – Tuning in to Energetic Preferences
“Learn to let your intuition—gut instinct—tell you when the food, the relationship, the job isn’t good for you (and conversely, when what you’re doing is just right).” ~ Oprah Winfrey So far, in our Strengthening Intuition Program, we’ve learned how to activate our hand chakras, and how to use our hands to sense energy in objects, people, […]
Not where I’d expected to be…
I keep trying to write a post, and nothing comes out right. I keep trying to explain what’s in my heart and there are no words. But that’s okay. Words will come later. I’m standing at the wheel of life, watching it turn, and knowing it will keep on turning. Nothing I can do to […]
I’m off to run a Spagyrics Workshop…
“All you have to do is contemplate a simple grain of sand, and you will see in it all the marvels of creation. Listen to your heart. It knows all things, because it came from the Soul of the World, and it will one day return there.” The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho “Courage is the quality most […]
