I love dragonflies. I love the shimmer of their iridescent wings and how they can zoom in any direction (including sideways and backwards) helicopter-style. But last weekend, I had 11 land on me (I’ve never had one land on me before). It all happened in less than 15 minutes, as I sat on my friend…

Resistance
I’ve taught Tai Chi for over 15 years, but as with everything I am still learning, I love the fluid movements – the spiraling, flowing dance that soothes my soul and energizes me. Afterwards I feel calm, alert and balanced inside and out. It looks so soft and gentle. But Tai Chi is the…
Worry Wort
A few years ago I gave up worrying. I realized I never worried about the right things. It was those things that I hadn’t foreseen that blind-sided me. Things like getting MS, mum having a stroke and Laura dying. Also worrying takes up a huge amount of mental space and a lot of energy. And as…
Why Worry?
‘Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to his life.’ – Matthew 6:27 ‘Worrying is using your imagination to create something you don’t want.’ – Abraham
Subway Karma
I am starting to believe that every little thought and action, no matter how small, has an echo, a response from the universe. Every little act of generosity, every little act of grumpiness or negativity pings back at us almost immediately. I suspect once you start to look for it, you’ll start noticing too. My…
The Guru Within
The guru that you’ve been looking for is within. Everything that you need is here inside. All the answers and all the guidance. You just have to listen. Still the mind and listen, and feel your own truth. I’ve spent much of my life looking for someone to guide me, to give me clues and…
The Measure of Success
‘Are you a parking garage?’ the voice said on the phone. When I said ‘No!’, he sounded very disappointed. How I laughed at the silly surreal-ness of it afterwards. It was just the break I need in an otherwise colorless day. After three weeks away, it is easy to come home and start tidying…
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…
Two Hearts Entwined
Sitting on my little mossy green meditation cushion giving thanks for all the blessings in my life, I’ve noticed recently the most beautiful things keep passing by my windows. I live on the 28th floor of an uptown Manhattan apartment building, so my normal neighbors up here are helicopters, blimps and the odd seagull surfing…
Dream Time
Every morning I wash up on the shore of my pillows in a different state. The night has taken me on a long and often extraordinary adventure, and sometimes I wake feeling exhausted as if I have bobbed all night in a sea of tangle that threatens to drown me; other times I travel to fictional towns with…
Our Purpose?
‘You are an extension of source energy. You are eternal beings that have come forth from broader non-physical consciousness to experience life, deliberately creating on this leading edge.’ – Abraham Hicks
Kitchen Aid
My cooking has gotten a noticeable fillip since Laura died. I suspect she is in the kitchen giving me a hand. I am serious. I’ve cooked all my life (3 meals a day) But since Laura passed, everything comes out much better, even when I am not looking. I taught Laura my few tricks in…
Happiness
‘You seem stronger, happier, more your self than ever before,’ my sister said recently. It is the strangest paradox. I get whiplash trying to understand how this is possible. How do great loss and happiness go together. It is not even 18 months since I lost the person I loved most in the world; my…
