Flying is Daring
I came to my desk at around 5AM again. I made the drawing that you see here. I wrote what parts of the drawing conveyed to me. I scrambled the sentences and rewrote them in a new order. I read. It did not make much sense to me, so I left it on the desk,…
There is More in This World Than We Know…
Last night I awoke at 3.33am, thirsty for a glass of water… I enjoy seeing numbers all lined up; it feels part of life’s magic and a little like the wondrous intricate patterns of a crop circle; unexplained synchronicity within friendship meetings, happenings, occurrences that amaze us – and symmetry, mirrors, things ‘happening at the…
Even Therapists Need to Look After Their Mental Health and Wellbeing – Part 2 of 2
Last week I shared the start of my journey from feeling overwhelmed and powerless to creating greater balance and wellbeing. Having explored the inner wisdom behind what I was feeling I started to work on the underlying emotions and beliefs using EFT. I also picked out some power cards to see what insight and support…
Big in Love
Another month passed by in New Jersey, with the highway noise bleeding into the background of my consciousness as I unraveled this person I had been. And almost every day and evening I wrote, adding sentences to my novel from an unknown place. “Writing this book is hard,” I scribbled in my journal. “It’s hard…
Walking in the Rain is the Right Thing To Do
I sat at my desk at 5 in the morning. I slept well till then and it made a big difference. As I made the lines in this drawing I knew that I was very patient and that I listened to every line as it was made. There was no decision about where the line…
Chaos to Calm: Random Act of Awkwardness…
I spent some time yesterday at Panera between a meeting and a client appointment. Standing at the tea counter, I found myself doing a “happy dance,” you know: wiggling around, singing to myself, generally exhibiting joy? I was excited to see my upcoming client, discovered that I had a new seminar to write and was…
Reiki and Emotional Healing at Christmas
My reiki practise continues alongside all the other chaos in my life at present. You know what I mean: husband, children, domestic challenges, family challenges, work and all the rest. I never really took time to learn what reiki healing is all about before I started my journey. I used to think that it was…
New Life
The cherries are here again… shiny pink, clusters of new life. They are hanging happily from the trees in the garden of Teide restaurant where Anadi and I have shared many cafe con leche’s since we started visiting Spain three years ago. Last summer, these beautiful trees became well acquainted with my Zen runners; we…

Compassion of a Broken Heart
The summer rain came and went; the cars on the nearby New Jersey highway hummed incessantly; and the fast paced East Coast life continued as I lived with my parents in an effort to heal the pain in my hip. I found work as an assistant editor and writer for an Irish magazine whose offices…
Autumn is a Feminine Season
Autumn has wonderful colours and a very soothing energy that is very conducive for women to reconnect with their body and feminine essence. In autumn, when Nature starts slowing down, the temperature gets cooler and the daylight starts reducing, we tend to slow down our social activities and spend more time at home. This is…
The Greens That Look So Real
I haven’t written for the blog for a while. I kept drawing every day and reading my drawings. Sometimes I drew more times than in other days. Basically these are all processes that you have seen me doing before. Discovering blockages and dissolving them, expressing experiences of expanded states, asking intuition and getting answers. Doing…
