I do believe in an everyday sort of magic — the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we’re alone. Charles de Lint Hello, Lovelies! This Quarter I will be using the Wisdom […]
The Road To Sedona
“Take wrong turns. Talk to strangers. Open unmarked doors. And if you see a group of people in a field, go find out what they are doing. Do things without always knowing how they’ll turn out. You’re curious and smart and bored, and all you see is the choice between working hard and slacking off. […]
Is it time to revisit a dream that failed or that never even was?
“Sometimes the things we do second time around are better and hold more value because we take the time to reflect and review, and revive them through a higher love. Don’t be afraid to try again and do-over with greater wisdom, a fresh set of eyes, and a renewed hope. Life is not a straight […]
A Heart-Gladdening Walk
“I only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in.” ~ John Muir I felt raw yesterday, raw and exhausted and all used up. (not sure why, read this post) I tried to sit at my desk and work, but couldn’t find […]
Sitting In The Dark With A Stranger
“We feel most alive when we are closest to death.” ~ Nenia Campbell I’m in Adelaide right now, staying on my own while I write and work and attend a conference. After dining with friends last night I went back to my hotel and, on a whim, decided to go and check out the outside pool […]
Help Can Come From Anywhere
“I do believe in an everyday sort of magic — the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we’re alone.” ~ Charles de Lint The other morning, as the house slumbered on, I quietly […]
This is How The Universe Works…
“There are no ordinary moments. There is always something going on.” ~ Peaceful Warrior “Everything around us is made up of energy. To attract positive things in your life, start by giving off positive energy.” ~ Celestine Chua A few days ago, as I sat at my desk early, early, early in the morning, looking at my […]
Direction or Destination?
“A ship is safe in harbor, but that’s not what ships are for.” ~ William G.T. Shedd Right now is a terrific time for planning. 2015 is almost upon us, and as the Captain of our own ship we get to choose where we will sail next year. Some of you might already have a specific […]
That Strange Wise Universe
“All things entail rising and falling timing. You must be able to discern this.“ ~ Miyamoto Musashi Sometimes things don’t go to plan. We’ve had a lot of rain here at the farm. Lots actually. Think floods. Last Saturday, after having been flooded in overnight, the causeway dropped and Ben decided we’d make a run […]
Goth Boots and New Beginnings
“We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibres connect us with our fellow men; and among those fibres, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects.” ~ Herman Melville Have you ever found yourself in the right place at just the right time, even though it […]
Inviting Help into Your Life
“I do believe in an everyday sort of magic — the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we’re alone.” ~ Charles de Lint Divine Guidance. Signs. Help. Answers to prayers. Last-minute […]
Wrong Numbers and New Friends
“Sometimes wrong numbers are the right numbers.” ~ Cecelia Ahern, The Time of My Life Late yesterday afternoon I tried to call my sister. My new drugs are kicking in and so my eyes were all twitchy and I was having problems seeing. Somehow I put in one wrong digit. “Hello?” An older woman’s voice, surprised, answered […]
How Synchronicity Happens
“I do believe in an everyday sort of magic — the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we’re alone.” ~ Charles de Lint Have you ever wondered how synchronicity happens? It’s a […]
The Joys of a Shared Table
“The shared meal elevates eating from a mechanical process of fueling the body to a ritual of family and community, from the mere animal biology to an act of culture.” ~ Michael Pollan If you had asked me to create a memorable meal when I was younger I would have had the cookbooks out in a […]
Life’s Spontaneous Adventures…
Much to my mother’s ‘sense of style’ mortification, I drive an old Hilux Ute (a pickup for my non-Aussie readers). One thing I have found to be a truth in this life – when you have a ute you have friends. Friends who need to move things. I have also found that having a ute […]
Patience and Right Timing
The two most powerful warriors are patience and time. ~ Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy If you read yesterday’s post, you’ll know that I am a big fan of trusting in two things: Universal Wisdom and Right Timing. You might wonder what that has to do with patience? Everything, my friends, everything! Why? Well, when we are […]
Please excuse me…
Some of you might have read recently about my use of affirmations (My embarrassing affirmation confession), so you’ll know that one of my favourites is ‘Something wonderful will happen to me today…’ So that was exactly what I was affirming to myself this morning, from the comfort of my nice warm bed, around 4 am, […]
Manifesting New Directions and Opportunities
If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with success unexpected in common hours. Henry David Thoreau It still amazes me how writing and visualising can create a magnetic pull in your life that attracts relationships, synchronicities and opportunities to […]
