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!

The End of the World?
According the New Scientist a sun storm is apparently scheduled to appear in 2012. Yes 2012...the year I have been banging on about....the year the Mayan Calender, the Celts and other ancient cultures have predicted to be the end of the world!
I can't deny coming out in a cold sweat when I read the article. A sun storm would cause a slow process of destroying the majority of our civilization. The first thing to suffer would be electricty and this would plunge, predomenantly the western world into chaos, closely followed all other means of communication, internet, mobile phone etc.
If this storm happens it's predicted to take years for a our world to recover, and although not all of us will die, many many thousands will. The most likely survivors will be those living in the third world, those who have struggled and have been ignored by the big fat greedy westerner for centuries.
How much life would change compared to now? Nothing would be so important anymore, the recession, politics, financial markets, celebrity status, material wealth.......no one will give a flying....think about it!
Is it a coincedence, and I don't believe in coincedences, that a prediction from a team of scientists colides with what we so called crazy out there spiritual believers have been banging on about for ages? How many more warnings do we need before understand what matters?
So, fast forward to our day of judgement. Did we fullfill everything we set out to do? Did we experience real love and happiness? Did we find a soul mate? Did we enjoy the planet we live on and respect it? Did we forgive and ask for forgiveness? Did we live in the now and enjoy the moment? Did we realise we are not the only person on this planet?
This is all we have got folks, and that tsunami is coming, surf the wave of enlightment or drown in your ignorance.
Sun storm or not.....what if.....think about it.....really think about it.

We still don't get it.
As I have said before, I believe that the Universe is hard at work trying to remind us about what is important and what is not right now. If you aren't suffering personally from the recession yourself, then it would be wise to learn from someone close to you who is. It could be you next.
I still find it quite baffling as to the so called "needs" of some people. Still, people feel that money, fame, a bigger house, the "right friends" bla bla, will make their lives complete.
Sadly, I heard very recently about yet another friend and mother of young children who is very sick. Every time I drift in ridiculous poor me land somewhere in my head I remind myself that she is fighting for her life right now.
I was never a huge Jade Goody fan but she has been in my thoughts so much recently, glancing out at a beautiful sunset on her way to wedding venue she burst into tears and said "if I die, I won't see this any more!" She knew in her final days that the things that matter most were just in nature alone.
My children are growing up so fast, the eldest is 20 this year and it really has flown by. I am blessed with three children and even when they are being a pain in the back side I try to tell myself that one day I will miss all this chaos and long for one more day of it.
It's time to get over ourselves, really appreciate what we have in the here and now. I have been just as guilty, but I GET IT NOW!! If you want a happy life, look around you and be grateful for what you already have.
This is the lull before the storm, the tsunami of awakening is coming and you want to surf the wave, not drown underneath it.
I was meditating the other night, someone spoke to me, you can choose to beleive it or not, but it happened. He said "To have Peace on Earth we must realise we are a piece of each other".
No one is better than anyone else and everything you want materialistically will never last for ever. The only thing that lasts is love.

Update from the universe and so much more.
Well, so far so good! Having listened to some inspiring advice I have started to meditate the feelings I am looking for in life. I envoked a feeling of total serenity and calm and at the same time imagined the feeling of unconditional love.
Day 1 and a friend calls and tells me a national newspaper are looking for a psychic to write about. My first instict is to think negative thoughts, till I remind myself that I am supposed to be living a fatalistic path! Immediately, I write to the journalist and get a reply straight away. To cut a long story short I will be featured in a couple of weeks.....thank you Universe!
I also responded to a new friend's e mail last week and we ended up chatting for over an hour, what came out of our conversation was so exciting and I am off to meet her tomorrow to plot an exciting project. I so want to share but have done that too many times in the past and ended up jinxing it.
At the beginning of last year I mentioned in my blog that I felt some really big changes were going to happen on this planet and here we are in the thick of a recession. In my opinion this is well over due, I feel the Universe is trying to get us all to understand what is important and what isn't. Our world is changing rapidly and at the same time the need for answers for individuals to getting the answer to eternal question "why are we here" is getting louder and louder.
Sadly, some will never understand what really matters, or have see spirituality as a fad or fashion and then go back to living a totally human existance. If we are to search for enlightenment and recognise it, we must address what we cant do, not what we can.
When we look and admire what we can do we are coming from the ego. But when we are honest with ourselves and ask "what can't we face?", then we begin to realise that those are our mountains and to climb, which will take us further in our soul evolvement.
Patience is one of my big ones...... and listening to what's left of my conditioning! How do I know that? Because I believe in the law of attraction and reflection. When I look at what I am surrounded by in people and situations I know the universe is trying to remind me that these are lessons to address in myself. However, the universe also reminds us through the most amazing signs and signals that we are on the right path and after asking for a small sign getting in my car on Monday morning, another car drove past....it's number plate......PE4CE. I love that!
Finally, I would just like to mention the fantastic night I had at the Scole Inn last week. Amongst the usual lovely crowd, three mediums arrived with infra red cameras! They were rigged up in two of the most "active" rooms to monitors, and what we all saw was amazing. Orbs were raining down like a snow storm and wierdly we found it quite hypnotic to watch. I am now waiting for one to pop up on e bay. I will be back in May for more ghost hunting.
Peace.

Catch up
I know, I know its been forever since I wrote this blog, still better late than never as they say. Perhaps, there is no such thing as never, I mean, if we reincarnate then surely there is always an opportunity?
So far, I have been plotting and planning at work, I have finally found a lovely new venue in NorfIolk for my girls weekends, Bayfield Hall is owned by lovely friends Roger and Caroline and I am so looking forward to our first one in April with Barbara. Its all on my website.
Since the days of Voewood I have evolved and so therefore so have my weekends. I have been studying again and pushing further in my quest to get a little closer to whatever is out there. I am reading the most intriguing collection of books and listening lectures and the universe seems to be sending a number of fascinating new people to meet.
I have also done some letting go of my past with some interesting and surprising results. I would share but they are very personal right now and would rather wait until the time was right.
But 2009 is about parking my personal stuff and getting on with my mission in life (after bringing up my children). I am going to conduct a personal experiment for the next few weeks and only act on anything that comes into my life in a fatalistic way. I am completely following the laws of spirituality.
Everyday, I will meditate in a new way. Just by visualising myself in complete happiness and go futher by imagining myself FEELING happy. According to the great visionary known by most as just Neville (Goddard) we must take our desires into the realm of being absolutely in that moment. This is when we can manifest our desires and bring them to a realistic outcome.
Yes, there is a catch, we can only bring about our wants if we let go of our ego first. So, you cant manifest something just because you think you want it, and if it not good for others. I know its a bit of bummer but trust me when I say that I have often wished for something and once I got it I wished it would go away again!
The road to enlightenment is a long and intricate one, and so much easier if you have time to sit under a tree in Goa rather than drop your children off and whizz into the supermarket before work, or leg it to the station to catch the 7.10 Liverpool Street.
But it is, I believe, possible no matter who you are and where you are to become conscious and enlightened and day by day it becomes a work in progress for the rest of your life or lives!
Lastly, I hope you have all been catching my friend Peter Owen Jones' series Around the World in 80 Faiths. Pete is one very lucky man to have travelled to all those places and I have already told him how I jealous I am. To meet and learn so much from so many different people of so many beliefs is wonderful. He told me that the BBC have already started to repeat it, if that isn't a clue to what people really want to watch on TV.....rather than the usual rubbish that is churned out. Most humans are looking for answers, and 80 Faiths, Tribe etc are exactly what we need to educate us.
Right enough of the TV critic I am off to meditate and then it's the under 9's hockey match in the rain! This is the universe having a joke at my expense by the way!
