It’s hard work examining the past. Sifting through what you find. For the past couple of weeks I’ve done a lot of soul searching and examining the values and beliefs I’ve carried with me through this lifetime so far. I can see that many of my values and beliefs come from my maternal family line.... Continue Reading →
Look for the helpers on the way
I had brunch on Sunday with a friend, who surprisingly said to me, ‘I am constantly amazed that you choose to be my friend.’ I was surprised by this statement as I see her as part of my core team, one of my closest friends. Of course I choose to be her friend. She’s awesome... Continue Reading →
The light in the darkness
It is winter in Australia. In Canberra, where I live, winter means dark, cold nights and sunny but brisk days. The nights draw in early and I find myself wanting to curl up with a good book, a fire and my dog at my feet. Personally I’m not a winter girl. Give me heat and... Continue Reading →
The water is rising
It has been three weeks since I was in Jordan. I’ve had three weeks at home trying to return to ‘normal’ life and I’ve found it difficult. Whilst on my trip, it was easy to surrender to being in the flow. I knew I had been guided to go to Jordan. I knew I would... Continue Reading →
Twists and Turns in Petra (and life)
In 1989 I went to see Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade with my then boyfriend. When I saw the scenes shot in Petra, Jordan, I knew that one day I had to visit there. Yesterday and today saw that dream come true. Petra is a magical place. It’s not known exactly when it was... Continue Reading →
It really is the small things that make life special
As most people who read my blog regularly know, I’m having a year of surrender. Surrendering to doing what feels right, not to what someone or something says I ‘should’ do. Surrendering to my intuition. Surrendering to the Universe. Less than two months ago I was shown a number of signs that have led me... Continue Reading →
Surrendering to the Whisper
A few weeks ago I received an email from someone close to me. He was upset by an email exchange that we had been involved in and accused me of taking every situation and making it about me. At the time, his words stung. I knew he was angry both at me but also at... Continue Reading →
The space between
It’s been a big couple of months for me. I was in New Zealand for ten days, had a few days at home and then spent two weeks in Michigan with my family for Thanksgiving and then a week in Washington D.C. with my 13 year old daughter. The two of us returned to Canberra... Continue Reading →
Choosing my reaction
This week I’m in Auckland, New Zealand on a trip provided by the Universe and which I have gratefully accepted. When I received the offer to come to New Zealand, I wasn’t really sure why I was coming here, but each day of the trip so far I’ve learned something about myself. Today I learned...

I’ve got this feeling…
It's Wednesday night and even though it's kind of late, I'm feeling great. Wednesday's are dancing nights. For months now, my girls, me, two of my best friends and their teenage daughters all turn up at 7.30pm on Wednesday night in a local church hall to dance in the dark with a bunch of other...
