One of the sweetest and funniest descriptions of what it feels like to be in love ‘I love that you get cold when it’s 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle in your nose when you’re…

The Night Visitor
I wake in the sweet spot, the warm burrow of duvet and sheets after a long night’s sleep and feel a tender embrace encircling me; a hand on my cheek, the other stroking my ear, toes gently scratch and tickle the underside of my foot, and arms pull me in close. ‘Oh Laura,’ I sigh…
The Hero Complex
I think I have a bit of a hero complex. I want to dash in and rescue people. At the moment I want nothing more than to rescue my sister, Andrea, from cancer. I wonder does this savior urge stem from past lives? From what I can tell I was a bit of a swashbuckler…
The Art of Soothing
I’ve come to believe that the ability to self soothe is one of life’s great accomplishments, at least it is for me. Sometimes I am rubbish at it. Two nights ago I stayed up til 3 am, my brain like a hamster in a wheel churning away. But then I tuned into Abraham Hicks on Youtube,…
Soul Mate
I just heard Abraham Hicks (a bunch of spiritual entities channeled by Esther Hicks) describe a soul mate like this – ‘A twin flame or a soul mate means you’ve met someone from the same non-physical lineage [the same spirit family]… with the same vibrational intentions..People often describe it as a ‘coming home’ when they…
Laura Calls Time
In England, one night, when I was talking to Laura, she said ‘It is time’. I thought at first she meant time for her to move on. I felt a twang of pain at the thought of her absence. But now I think she meant it was time for me to move on, to head…
The Energy Blanket
The first night after chemo was pretty rough going for my sis. Thankfully she is doing much much better now, but I do wonder how much of her journey has been influenced by all the loving energy from friends, family (and total strangers!) surrounding her. Even if prayer and intentionally channelled love and kindness can’t…
Cancer Again?
Last night I stayed up with my sister Andrea through the night after her first round of chemo (her husband Ave was knocked out with a stomach bug). I’ve never seen anyone cycle through so many weird reactions so quickly. It was a little frightening at first. But she seemed to come back to her…
Spirits Up!
Today I fulfilled another flying dream – whooshing up into the air in a little GT450 microlight plane – essentially an engine powered go-cart attached to a hang-glider. As we tore down the runway at 80mph, my co-pilot told me ‘these little machines are the rockets of the air’. Perched on a seat a little wider…
Outdoor Cancer Therapy
To stop yourself getting cancer you have to avoid things that are known to cause it in the first place, the cancer specialist told my sister Andrea. His top four troublemakers for creating cancer are alcohol, being overweight, smoking and lack of exercise. A good anti-cancer exercise regime includes a minimum of 30 minutes of…
I love You Trees
I Love You Trees For the way you scatter light at our feet For the way you hold your arms up to God For the tinkling, scrunching, rustling sound As if you were swishing by in a taffeta dress For the way you brighten every street you inhabit For the shelter you provide for the…
Traveling Light
My handbag was swiped, my watchband broke, my beloved new iPhone is gone. As a result, I’ve been living this last week without much sense of time and with no money of my own, and somehow it is alright. I marvel at the kindness of family, friends and strangers who’ve leaned in altruistically to help….
Bon Voyage
Laura is even funnier now that she is a spirit. I asked her if she is coming to the UK with me tomorrow and she said ‘I’m packed’. I’m glad someone is, because I am not..
Happy 60th!
Today is my parents 60th wedding anniversary. It is such a rare and beautiful thing that HRH Queen Elizabeth II in the UK sends couples a letter of congratulations – upon request. So of course we requested one…! Here’s to love and longevity and to you M+D xxxx
