As I sit here in my dark lounge room, I am mesmerized by the Christmas tree lights that fill me with a sense of peace and warmth, as the different colours of the tree lights flicker. I love this time of night when everything is quiet, and one can just be. Tomorrow is Epiphany Day and as perContinue reading “Anticipation!”

It is time to embrace truth and a stop believing the lies of “Happily Ever After Fairytales” or the ‘Happiness and Prosperity Doctrine, as these set us up for disillusionment which affects our mental health and overall wellbeing. Our worldview of life creates our interpretation of our reality. Unfortunately many of us, including me, thinkContinue reading “Life: The Art of Transforming Pain & Suffering into Wisdom.”

Becoming the Sage has not been an easy journey and as stated in part one, to be a Sage one requires knowledge and experience combined with a curiosity of the unknown.

Today I know I am writing about the images from my Life’s roadmap, but how do I tellContinue reading “Becoming the Sage”

Tonight is a music tribute as there is so much wisdom that can be gained through the creative arts of song, poetry, stories and dance. I love it when situations and thoughts just interweave together to form a beautiful tapestry, serendipitous moments that bring synchronicity.  Serendipity is an unplanned fortunate discovery. This morning I went into the shopContinue reading “Serendipitously: Theology and Psychology intertwining in Song”

In yesterday’s blog I promised I would share daily, the seven momentous moments in my time and how each of come to transpire; the moment in time that these visions became my reality.  Having these mind pictures has helped me to set goals in a new way or is it ‘as old as time’? As a counsellor IContinue reading “Spiritually Inspired Goals”

My prayer became “Open the eyes of my heart Lord, remove the veil of darkness and ignorance with respect to divine and spiritual things. Remove the scales from my eyes so that I can discern the spiritual things contained in both the Bible and the Apocrypha”.  I have attached the verses to the end of thisContinue reading “Angel Uriel; Fire of God”

On the 4th day of Christmas my true love said to me; “It’s time to introduce your angels and ancestors. The debate between theology and experiential cannot be explained or reasoned away; it’s time for you to speak your truth and share a few of your experiences.”  Following up on the story of the ofContinue reading “My Grandmother’s Voice”

I have spent the day procrastinating, finding other things to do rather than sit down and write. What am I so scared of? What is it that I don’t want to face? It is fear, fear of standing out, fear of saying the wrong thing, fear of condemnation and fear of rejection and fear ofContinue reading “Day 3: Arise Sleeping Beauty”
