Your life requires your mindful presence in order to live it. Be here now.
Akiroq Brost
Hello, Lovelies!
This Quarter I am using the Nature’s Whispers Oracle Cards by Angela Hartfield, with artwork by Josephine Wall, for my weekly oracle readings.
Our card to guide us for the week ahead is 39 – CLEAR ENDEAVOR. It’s a strong reminder that, in the week ahead, we will cope better, love better, laugh better and live better by being in the moment.
CLEAR ENDEAVOR encourages us to be right here. Right here in this moment.
Not in your head.
Not stuck in the past.
Not projecting wildly into the future.
Be here. Now.
When you live in the moment magic happens. Time slows down. We notice the small details.
There is magic and meaning in everything if we choose to make it so. It’s our thoughts and intentions that give something its value. Remember when something was new, and we marvelled at it, took care of it, stayed fully present with it? That might have been a new love, a new baby, a new car, a new home – anything that was fresh and bright in our lives. Or perhaps we had newly committed to a venture, a habit, a goal. Over time, our attention waned, our level of care decreased, and we became automatic rather than engaged with our actions and presence.
This week, make each act a meditation. Take a slow calming breath and be present with each person, each task, each action. Let the sacred infuse your life in the most basic and fundamental areas.
My Top Tip For The Week Ahead:
There are miracles, beauty, inspiration and insight in every moment if only we can slow down enough to appreciate them. Slow down. What can you notice that you weren’t seeing before?
Stuck with creating a satisfying life for yourself or understanding your best direction forward? Maybe you need a session with me to bring some extra clarity and direction. Details here

One week til Christmas!
I finally sat down and planned my Christmas Day meal yesterday, with a little help from the Inner Circle members who turned up early to our Monthly Meditation. I’ll have my mum and sister here at the treehouse for Christmas lunch, and I wanted to make sure I had a few special extras. I came across an interesting Gordon Ramsay recipe for ‘Beet Wellington’ which I want to make as a lovely side dish, but I also wanted to tweak the recipe, and wondered if that was a good idea. My wonderful Inner Circle gang encouraged me to colour outside the numbers with this one – so I’ll let you know how I go.
My mum has made us a traditional plum pudding for our Christmas meal, but my sister sits firmly on the other team when it comes to anything fruit cake, so I’ve dug out a butterscotch self-saucing pudding recipe which I’ll make for her (Ben and I love this recipe too, so I doubt she’ll get to eat the entire thing on her own!)
This week I’m doing New Year’s Positioning Readings (awesome, and comes with a workbook of your card spread to help you navigate the year ahead – but only available to our Inner Circle) and some client sessions, and then we’ll close the office for two weeks. I’ll still be doing client sessions over this time, but I’ll get a short break too, which I’m excited about. Then, for me, a longer break next year, once we get through the Christmas and New Year’s rush.
Remember to grab your Journeymaker’s Planner for 2022 so you’ll be ready for my free challenge to help you make the most of the year ahead. That kicks off in mid-January.

Thanks Nicole, I really needed a reminder to focus on the present and not freak out over the future. And to try to be in my body and get out of my head. Great timing with this post!
