 Sister, mother, daughter, lover, child
Your light needs to shine There is a darkness when you are absent When you don’t speak your truth When you don’t dance with joy When you don’t spread your magic on our land You are every woman As women, must journey beyond blame, shame, fear and guilt Then we find our true power And with it we transform the darkness into light We find the truth, the inner beauty and the power to free us all This resides within each and every one of us Tell your daughters, your mother, sister and friend There is something we need to be It is time to awaken and to be One Our brothers are waiting for us to change; for they don’t know how We pray that we find the love, wisdom and courage to be all that we can be As women; We gain strength from you Mother Earth We feel it in our bodies, We hear it in our voices You can feel it in our touch We are here to reclaim all that has been lost It is time for us to re-unite with love, peace and gratitude So that we can all lead empowered lives. Transcripts from my session with Lorraine Flaherty, Regression Therapist  The trees are coming into leaf Like something almost being said; The recent buds relax and spread, Their greenness is a kind of grief. Is it that they are born again And we grow old? No, they die too, Their yearly trick of looking new Is written down in rings of grain. Yet still the unresting castles thresh In fullgrown thickness every May. Last year is dead, they seem to say, Begin afresh, afresh, afresh. Philip Larkin. This remains to be one all time favourite poems. It affirms and acknowledges the cycle of life in such a wonderful way. Thank you Philip Larkin and welcome to Spring 2018.  ClicThanks to the “bomb cyclone” snowstorm I started this New Year unexpectedly gifted with an extra couple of days in New York City. Since I was unable to enjoy the city, I decided to do some digital house-keeping, deleting all emails and files that were obsolete, unwanted and irrelevant. As my inbox was downsized I realized that I needed not only to delete these emails but also to cut some of them off at the source: the source being the unsubscribe button. As I deleted subscriptions I rarely used and subscriptions that I forgot I even had, I felt cleansed in a self -congratulatory way.
I reflected on the noise that is created online, the noise I join in with, can get lost in, am amused by and even sometimes confused by. Spam has taken on new digital dimensions. Traditionally the word may bring back memories of Monty Python sketches or unappetizing school meals, yet I refer to it as the ongoing stream of marketing material that arrives in our inbox and is posted on social media. What habit could you start today that you could continue every day for 365 days? What would make the biggest difference?
As we a approaching the Christmas break, Here are some questions to reflect in the closing days of 2017.
Was it good year? What in particular good? Health (mental, emotional, spiritual of physical) Relationships, Finance, Career? What was most challenging aspects of this year? Health (mental, emotional, spiritual of physical) Relationships, Finance, Career? What made it challenging? What was there to celebrate? What did I try to do differently? What worked well? What would work even better if I did this? What have I learnt about myself this year? What have I learnt about others? What gave me the most satisfaction this year? What gave me the least satisfaction? What do I need to take with me into 2017? Which relationships were key throughout 2017? What do I need to leave behind? What were the most important lessons? What personal habits sustained that supported me in 2017? What top three personal daily habits will I commit to throughout 2018? What will be my personal motto for 2018? Wishing you a brilliant, peaceful and restorative break. I am deeply grateful to my clients and to all the people who made 2017 a very special year. |
