The Writing Process, Do You Need a Guide?

Encouraging pen to paper, conceptual dreaming editors, meticulous detail line editors and publishing as a bottom-line business kind of guides. From my humble start in 1998 contributing a column to a  London Yoga magazine to two publishers, their editors and an agent later. The last two and a half decades of my writing journey appeared in my mind’s eye.

Journal Prompts for Full Moon, Solar Eclipse and Spring Equinox

Today is a full moon.

Spring Equinox, Full Moon and a Lunar Eclipse— what does this beautiful spring time hold?

As many of you know I love to follow the moon cycles. In my daily journal I record where the moon is in it’s monthly rotation. When I follow the cycles I can be more aware of a new Moon (begin again), waxing Moon (building energies), full Moon (surf the wave) or waning Moon (revision energies) and also to be more compassionate with myself and others during high intensity lunar periods, such as a full Moon or eclipses.

Keep A Wider Perspective, Peace Comes From Within You

Do you remember the days when we didn’t have a cell phone? When Ron and I were out to dinner I left the restaurant’s telephone number with the babysitter in case of an emergency. These days I carry my cell phone with me most of the day. Often distracted by the ding of a text coming through, and 99% of the time it’s not urgent.

I feel now more than ever how essential it is to step back each day and see myself, and my relationship to others from another perspective, a different view— a wider lens. 

Through a new vision to see and FEEL more peace, compassion and joy.

How to Write a Book

I believe everyone has a story to tell.

Have you ever felt inspired to write your memoir, perhaps captured ( or to be) in your journal or diary’s reflections? Is there something you feel compelled to share— stories to leave with your family as a legacy or for a reader to benefit from your experience?

There are lots of reasons to want to write a book. For me, it was an outpouring. To transcribe my life’s experiences. To write about the stress as my role as an NICU nurse and then as a mother of a sick child.

Home, is where you are most fully yourself— the place you belong.

Feeling Emotional? Today's full moon lunar eclipse may be the reason.

How did you sleep last night?

I woke to the light of an enormous pregnant full moon’s illumination. The moon beam was so incredible, she illuminated our entire bedroom. Her intense beautiful light also caused me to lie awake for a couple of hours pondering all those thoughts that creep in during the stillness of night time.

Affirmations Help Us Roll In New Energies

My paint mare Coco makes me feel completely grounded and present in my own body— she communicates her thoughts, feelings and emotions (to me and other horses) through her body language— it’s up to me to pay attention. To learn to “speak horse” is to learn how to tap into a deeper awareness, keen observation and intuition. All of which apply to humans too.

Join me and invite opportunities into your life that ask you to keep pulling the thread. What brings you back to a connection to your true nature? A connection to others (animal and human) and a sense of real joy. If we commit to doing this, we are in alignment with our personal truewellbeing. In this place we are able to offer the best version of ourself to others. Language of the Soul: 52 Affirmations to Guide You is offered on a current Amazon deal for $3.36.

Valentine's Day Reflection, Our Most Important Relationship ?

Relationships are how we grow; they cradle and stretch us. Through connection and division, love and hurt, compassion and separation, they invite us to return again and again to the most important relationship we’ll ever have – the one with ourself, the sacred union that’s been waiting within.

Watching the Olympics and Being Inspired

We’ve been watching the Olympic Winter Games. For me, they seem to bring the world a little closer. To see different country’s topography, customs— and how the incredible true grit of the athletes brings them to the top of their game and represent their countries.

As well as the sports I find the personal stories equally inspirational, like the USA Olympic cross country skier, Jessie Diggins who inspired many as she shared her struggles of a teenage eating disorder.
