Last night I spent time gazing up at the beautiful Harvest Moon, giving extra light to us. In times before electricity, the Harvest Moon was credited with giving extra light to farmers so they had even longer to harvest their crops. This moon is also known as the Wine Moon, signifying the time for harvesting the grapes. Nature’s harvest, in the months of August and September, provides Read More …
Holding things lightly is a phrase you often hear nowadays. I’ve just returned from a lovely summer break. I became aware of just how easy it was to hold everything lightly when I was on holidays. Why I wondered? Maybe it was because I had no great agenda for my few weeks away. I went with the flow and most days, whatever emerged was Read More …
It’s that time of year when I stop to take stock and regain my equilibrium. I hope you are enjoying the feeling of being fully alive. If not, then maybe you too need to stop and take stock. Lover of life, I have forgotten what it is like to be fully alive. I have become a functional, productive, serious adult. What grasps my enthusiasm, my love Read More …
For many of us, it’s holiday time of year. That time when we stop doing what we are doing on a daily basis and take time to renew, refresh and replenish our minds, bodies and spirits. So much of our time can be taken up with fulfilling other people’s expectations of us – as fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, carers, employers or employees. Sometimes we Read More …
Did you know that today, July 3rd is the 184th day of the year? …meaning there are 181 days remaining this year. Imagine all the great things you will consciously create in that time, and write them into the next chapters of your life. Jimmy Buffet’s song “Everybody’s on the phone” reminds us that we live in a world filled with noise and motion. Everybody’s Read More …
Days pass and the years vanish and we walk sightless among miracles…. and we will reach out for holiness and exclaim in wonder, “How filled with awe is this place and we did not know it.” Lines from a Jewish Prayer This week I picked the first salad leaves from my tiny little bed in the garden. I gently plucked some mixed leaves from the different Read More …
We usually think of individual events and occasions when we think of the ‘golden moments’ in our life. These are moments that stand out in our memory, because we connect to them on perhaps a spiritual or emotional level. They make our lives rich and meaningful. Isn’t it a pity though, that we confine ourselves to a limited number of these experiences in our lives? Read More …
How to consciously create a powerful life Many of us aspire to having a different life to the one we are currently living. Our aspirations refer to our deeper desires and they are quite different to ambitions. Aspirations can relate to many areas of life and often include the desire to be debt free, to have a particular lifestyle, to gain more formal educational qualifications, to Read More …
The recent spring weather, the blossoming of many shrubs and flowers has brought about the return of bees. I have been noticing just how faithfully these little creatures live up to their label of being “as busy as a bee”. For such tiny creatures, their work rate is phenomenal and their value to the economy is amazing. It is estimated that pollination by domesticated honey bees Read More …
I was working with a group last week and the conversation came round to the number of times we move into “fix it mode”. Most of the time, what the other person wants is to be listened to; to have a space to think out loud, and to find their own solutions, not to be given a solution. Many of the group said that they “didn’t have Read More …
