Its 7.30am and I am surrounded by a backdrop of the most beautiful Spanish Mountains. The sun is already up and I can see for miles. No matter what is going on in life when you see something as stunning as this you know there must a higher force.
I thought my journey here was going to be challenging as I spent most of my time at the airport in queues. I read somewhere that we spend two years of our life in queues....two bloody years!!! So, now I avoid them as much as possible and when I am in one try to make the most of it. The flight was great.... suprisingly good actually. My host and dearest friend Tina collected me from the airport with her daughter Gina, and we made our way up the mountain, at least I think we did I kept my eyes shut most of the way....the Spanish seem to drive as if the lives are totally irrelavant!!
I feel this strange happiness today and I haven't quite figured out why. It's just a kind of "glad to be alive" feeling, blessed to have what I have and excited about the future. This morning I am off to clear a haunted hotel and then this afternoon I take part in a course....more on that later.
We cant all step outside and look at mountains to remind ourselves how lucky we are, but we all have something not far away that we can look at to remind ourselves that life isn't so bad. Family, home, a park, the sky.....go and find something and have a lovely day!

Serendipity
Well, ever the incurable romantic, I settled down to watch the film Serendipity last night. For those who of you who are unfamiliar with this slushy chick flick, its the usual boy meets girl, but its complicated...of course! However, they decide to leave their fate in the lap of the Gods. They have to part, but not before they both write down their telephone numbers on random items. His is on a dollar bill and hers in a second hand book, which are sent out into the street of New York. Fast forward a few years and they both feel compelled to find each other and follow a fatalistic path. Funny, having seen this movie a number of times and yet it still gives me the feel good factor.
Recently, novelist Amanda Craig was reported as saying that watching romantic movies and chasing similar fairytale endings are bad for us, as it didn't reflect on real life, therefore gave us false hope. Mental note to myself not to pick up one of her books unless I want to feel bloody miserable.
In the world we live in today, where everything is very very real, poverty, war, starvation.. aren't we allowed to dream? Perhaps Amanda has some issues of her own and needs us to know that her life is not fluffy right now?
So, back to my world if I may for a minute. Whether you believe in fate or not surely it's worth a try if you have already been every other which way and it still isn't working. In the last 12 years of talking to clients, its generally the ones who listen to that well conditioned mind who have come unstuck. "I did it because, it was the right thing to do, so, why am I still unhappy?" Sounds familiar?
I believe that we are a soul in a human body and when we listen to our soul which comes from a feeling in our heart then we are on the right track. Why not try for one week to follow fate and see what happens?
Start by stopping! Stop listening to your unconditioned mind and just go with the flow, as they say. Watch out for signs, signals and coincidences. If someone invites you to something....go! If you bump into to someone you haven't seen for a while, this could be a sign. If you see things or hear things that repeatedly remind you of someone then its possible that you will have a reconnection of some kind soon. Just become more aware of your surroundings, the magazine page you just opened, the letter that just arrived, the topic of conversation on the radio you hear and so forth.
You might not meet your fairytale prince or princess by the end of the week, but you might have some fun. Isn't that what life is supposed to be about? Have fun!

A quick thank you
Well, the Universe rocks right now!
Two weeks ago, Bayfield Hall became the new venue for my Soul Weekends and it was better than ever! Thanks to Caroline and Philippa who were amazingly helpful, everything ran like clock work. Even Roger who resides at Bayfield, who had spent many a meeting with me teasing me and telling me he was not going to "believe" until he had seen a ghost, finally got his wish! So, already another weekend is booked in for June if anyone would like to come its all on my website.
If that wasn't enough excitement, I am off to Spain and San Fransisco in the next few weeks. First stop, Rhonda to the most beautiful retreat to visit two clients and attend a 4 day course. It will be so good to be there again, on my last visit (which was a holiday) the owners asked me to take a look at the retreat they were building. There seemed to be a number of problems attached to the project including the funding and issues with builders. As soon as I arrived I saw spirits everywhere. My immediate reaction was that this place was on the site of a burial ground! The owners knew nothing of this and it was only when I returned to the hotel that one of the staff confirmed that is was indeed a burial ground and they didn't want to tell the owners, I had a lot of work to do.
I returned the next morning and moved on the roaming spirits, six weeks later I had a call from the owner to say that all was great and the building was almost complete. I am now returning to attend a course there and to meet another client who has a similar problem. I am so looking forward to seeing this incredible place again.
Then its off to San Fransisco! I have just signed a very exciting contract and am spending a week with doing the rounds and at the same time visiting my brother and his family. I will finally get to meet my nephew, I love synchronicity!
So thank you again universe!
