Today I am in bed with a cold and a bad case of the grumps. Laura, bless her, left behind an epic financial mess which has taken all year to unpick. And it is still not sorted. I would have gone mad long ago if it wasn’t for Paul and Nita, kindly professionals who have…
The Castor Oil Miracle
For the first time since Xmas, mum is walking again. Manuka honey soothed the pain of her badly ulcerated toes and light daily rubs of castor oil sucked out the inflammation and healed her feet. Castor oil is sticky like glue and tastes vile, but it is super rich in Ricinoleic acid, an omega-9 fatty acid,…
The Tutu Project
When Bob Carey’s wife Linda was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer, he decided to cheer her up by taking daffy pictures of himself in a pink tutu. The sweet silliness of it is enchanting. His photos went viral. Now his book, Ballerina, is raising funds for men and woman in need, who…
Creation (the quantum view)
I always thought you needed a time machine to travel back in time. But with hypnotherapy you can jump into the past and up to heaven without leaving your armchair. It sounds crazy when you read it like that. But really is it any odder than quantum physics? Cutting edge physicists believe that nothing in…
Open Wide!
Had an emergency appointment at the dentist’s yesterday. Fortunately nothing much, just a lumpy filling needing a file. Sadly the dentist’s 87-year-old mum had just passed away after a long battle with kidney failure. We commiserated over our loses and then he told me this sweet story. After his mother passed on monday night, he…
Gratitude
To celebrate Laura on the anniversary of her passing (Jan 16), I decided to wrap up the last few of her collectible vases, write thank you notes and set off around Manhattan with our old lady shopping cart delivering these simple gifts to the doctors, lawyers and the tax accountant who made our lives bearable…
What The Soul Sees
I love this story from Brian Weiss’s book ‘Same Soul Many Bodies’. A top cardiologist at Mount Sinai Hospital in Miami told Weiss how he had worked feverishly to resuscitate an elderly woman in a diabetic coma. There was little hope because of her severe condition and in the rush to help the cardiologist dropped…
Pennies From Heaven
Yesterday a friend warned that I might be holding Laura’s spirit back; keeping her from important spiritual work by talking to her and enjoying her spiritual presence. It is an opinion I’ve heard before. A year ago I might have agreed. For a while I thought her spirit could only be in one place at…
It’s curtains for you, my friend!
A tale of two friends both recently widowed. Their lives splintered. Nothing now fits together as it did before. But a tale of two extremes. One lost her faith along with her partner. She reasoned: ‘How could there be a loving God who cruelly severs people from their soul mates?’ The other’s grief didn’t slam…
Twin Flame
One of the most beautiful things that came out of my leap up into the spirit realm (doing the life between lives regression) was discovering that Laura and I are ‘twin flames’, two souls created at the same time from the same energy, which may explain our intense connection and our delight in each other’s…
Anais Nin
‘As my desire to bloom arrived, I flourished. No longer fearing the journey it takes to truly open and unfold. Deeply I breathe in as my breath is taken away. I found my voice, yet even as it lay dormant in the quiet. As I stumbled in the sometimes darkness and fell. Standing back up…
A Year Ago
Laura died a year ago today (at 2.50am on Jan 16, 2014). On her last morning she smiled her beautiful smile and told me; ‘I love you’. I didn’t realize it then, but those were her last words. Our wedding certificate had just arrived and Laura was over the moon. We had been married exactly…
Surprised by Joy
This morning, as I walked to Carl Schurz park, I asked Laura if she would send me something uplifting to do with dogs. Ever since I did the life between lives regression I’ve been practicing manifesting joy (this is the most important thing I learned). No sooner had I stepped into the park than a…
