Dumbfounded At This Latest Message
Yesterday I received one of the most unhelpful and toxic-thinking messages I’ve ever received. But it wasn’t deliberately abusive. It was sent with loving intentions.
Quiet Time: And why I am doing it
My latest journey has taken me places I never expected to go. Let me explain…
Clarity
Isn’t it funny how everything is a mess one minute, and then suddenly it all falls together!
The Quiet Experiment
I didn’t expect that slowing down might also mean a bit of falling apart too…
Enhancing connection to your sense of smell
Smell is a potent wizard that transports you across thousands of miles and all the years you have lived. The odors of fruits waft me to my southern home, to my childhood frolics in the peach orchard. Other odors, instantaneous and fleeting, cause my heart to dilate joyously or contract with remembered grief. Even […]
Three Good Watery Things
Self care is important for everyone, but especially so for highly sensitive souls. Here’s how my last few days have been well supported.

A Question For You About Stories
Good things take time. Great things take a little longer. ~ Some wise anonymous person Hey, Lovelies. As you know, I had a crazy and slightly disturbing dream yesterday, the echoes of which are still rattling around in my head. I had planned to share that dream with you today, and I began writing it, […]
The Curious Dream
A book is a dream that you hold in your hands. ― Neil Gaiman Hello, Lovelies. I’m a little late to the page this morning. I had the most curious dream last night. This morning, as I sat in meditation, it continued. The images, the messengers, the conversations. To be honest, it freaked me out […]
The Reading I Did For Myself
And you? When will you begin that long journey into yourself? ― Rumi Hey, Lovelies. Every year I do two card readings for myself that guide my decisions and actions for the months ahead. One of them is the 10 Card Helpful Energies Spread that you’ll find in my Journeymaker’s Planner. The other is my […]

Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself. ― George Bernard Shaw Hey, Lovelies! Here’s my odd assortment of updates for you this early Friday morning, with a heatwave bearing down on us… Our new stove has been installed. Finally. Sort of. It is connected to gas and electricity, but the cabinetmaker still needs […]
Sleeping in, or trying to!
A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures in the doctor’s book. – Irish Proverb Hey, Lovelies. I had really hoped to nap yesterday, after my night of zero sleep, but it just didn’t happen. By day’s end I was so full of adrenalin that I knew it would be late before […]
The Bad Night
Sometimes life will tear your house apart so you can see the cracks in the foundation. ―Vanessa Ooms Hey, Lovelies. I didn’t sleep a wink last night. At first I thought it was because of stress. Then I thought it might have been the one decaf coffee I drank early that morning. So, I meditated. […]
The Old Boyfriend
Reunions are the first day of school all over again. Time casts away familiarity and replaces it with warm confusion. Seeing how the years have frayed the friends of our youth reminds us that we too have irrevocably changed and can never return to a state of innocence again. ― Stewart Stafford Hey, Lovelies. I’ve […]

The View From My Bedroom Window
Every morning I am reminded of the magic all around us. It’s right here outside my bedroom window.
My Ten Point Survival Plan for Sensitive Souls
“There are certain children who are told they are too sensitive, and there are certain adults who believe sensitivity is a problem that can be fixed in the way that crooked teeth can be fixed and made straight. And when these two come together you get a fairytale, a kind of story with hopelessness in […]
Me And The Moon
Dreams are like the old stories where wolves are seekers always running, and women carry fire in their bare hands and light the dark paths before them. Old stories hold that the birds will fly all the miles of the world to tell your secrets to the rising moon, and men will walk over […]
Questions To Ask Yourself As You Are Re-Adjusting
Change can be unsettling – and it can leave you feeling rubbish. Here are some simple ways to tune in to the possibilities that are open to you right now as you shift and grow.
Sometimes Rest Is Needed To Facilitate Shift

The Boy With The Sore Finger

Why are you so awkward about your Spiritual Practice?
The things that matter stay with you, seep into your skin. ~Christina Baker Kline Hey, Lovelies. I want to have a quiet chat with you today. I want to reassure you. Your spiritual practice matters.

I’m Back!
There is a lot to be said for time off, meditation and crystals!
What To Do When It Just Feels ‘Off’
When you notice someone does something toxic the first time, don’t wait for the second time before you address it or cut them off. Many survivors are used to the “wait and see” tactic which only leaves them vulnerable to a second attack. As your boundaries get stronger, the wait time gets shorter. You […]
Why You Need To Rest – An Important Message for Empaths, Intuitives, Creatives, Highly Sensitive Souls and Psychics
I made a nap this afternoon. I made it out of two pillows, a bed, a sheet, a blanket, and exhaustion. ~ Jarod Kintz Hey, Lovelies. Last week I discussed the idea of emotional luxury, and many of you wrote to me to tell me that your idea of luxury is to rest. Awesome, but […]

Do you have a regular spiritual practice? I know, many of you have told me that you want to, but that you’re already so busy, so tired, […]
Searching For Elders
Long before I wrote stories, I listened for stories. Listening for them is something more acute than listening to them. I suppose it’s an early form of participation in what goes on. Listening children know stories are there. When their elders sit and begin, children are just waiting and hoping for one to come out, […]
Enrolment is Open for my Free 30 Day Challenge!

It’s Not Enough For Me to Have the WooWoo without the Grit
To my mind, ‘magic’ is the hard-to-define quality of the things that stir up mystical feelings like amazement, curiosity, imagination, and above all wonder. Magic is that which renders something beautiful in a spiritual sense. It is that which makes one feel as if the world is more than it is presently understood to be, […]
Ready for some warm-up activities before our Free 30 Day Planner Challenge?
The best thing for being sad,” replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, “is to learn something. That’s the only thing that never fails.

Wearing My Best Perfume
Odors have a power of persuasion stronger than that of words, appearances, emotions, or will.

You know, I don’t […]

Back In The Saddle

Managing My Unrealistic Expectations
A wonderful gift may not be wrapped as you expect. Jonathan Lockwood Huie Hey, Lovelies. So, here I am, back at my desk. (For those of you not sure what this is about read this.) Not back at work. Not yet. Just back at my desk for a short visit, to write an update for […]

Totally Distracted By Crystal Grids
The Wounded Inner Child is the primary gateway to healing and integration. When you invite your woundedness out of subversiveness and into your awareness you finally begin to honor the past pain.
