Imagine yourself stuck, with little capacity to move, with nowhere to go, nothing to accomplish. Just you. Alone. Would you be able to be still? Would you be still enough inside to feel your spiritual hunger? Almost twenty years ago, while living in my parents’ home in New Jersey, that was my story. But being…

Are you one of the 10 million people watching, and loving, this new TV show? I wake up with the theme, message and/or metaphor in my head and heart when it’s time to blog. Today it was This Is Us. Have you noticed the sheer number of topics covered each week that focus on acceptance?…

I woke at 6am as planned and crept out to a fresh summer morning, soft brown green hills rising around me… The sun was already warming the day, but with less intensity than later on; a few people were about – running, walking, sitting on the grass…. I had a seen a lake last night,…

Have you ever written a letter to your father, or someone, with no intention of sharing it? I did, many moons ago, on Father’s Day, as I lived in my parent’s house in New Jersey, healing from physical and emotional pain. “It’s strange celebrating Father’s Day with this silence between us,” I wrote. “Your silence, your temper,…

On the 1st February we celebrated the pagan festival Imbolc. This marks the turn of the wheel, or the time of year when our short winter days begin to lengthen, and we might see the first stirrings of spring. My daughters and I have seen daffodils sprouting up in their usual places on our walk…

I have just checked out on the map exactly where I am! Maricarmen asked me this question today in my Spanish lesson… ‘I’m not totally sure..’ I replied laughing… ‘In Turkey, Manavgat; beside a really long beach…’ I have now found out that we are on the South Coast and the beach goes on and…

People tend to use the term “soul mate” loosely, generalizing its meaning to describe someone who they feel connected to or deeply in love with. All of those can describe a soul mate relationship; however, not everyone we have these feelings for is a soul mate. By the same regard, we do not fall in…

“There are so many times you have been with me, and yet I have not seen you. I feel touched, moved, overwhelmed inside this little heart of mine by the guide you have been so long—an angel so present on this earth, so alive within me, so much a part of me,” I wrote from…

Gatwick airport is our home for the morning… We came here early and I have four hours in one of my favourite venues… An airport! I have always loved this inbetween world that I experience here and on a plane… As I journey onwards and inwards, I recognise that this reflects for me finding the fulcrum in…

I was angry at my father inside my dream of almost 20 years ago. In that nighttime journey, I had discovered sculptures of Italy’s Renaissance artist Michelangelo below a pile of ice in a freezer. I was angry at my father for directing conversations toward rational conclusions that had nothing to do with the emotions…

We are in February, the month of love ‘par excellence’ and of course a very big commercial opportunity. I remember when I was a teenager and then later on a young woman how I felt when St Valentine’s would approach. All my uncertainty, self-doubt and body concerns would come up, either I had a boyfriend…
