211: Fear No More

This child fears death

but this woman has no regrets;
this child outgrew her fears
she has lived beyond the tears.

This child fears joy
but this woman is no longer coy;
this child has learnt to feel
as time has turned its wheel.

This child fears shadows
but this woman’s energy glows;
this child has found her torch
she treads at night without a thought.

This child fears living
but this woman embraces everything;
this child has learnt to trust
who she is, is more than enough.

This child fears love
but this woman’s heart has filled up;
this child has been healed
and now the woman is revealed.

127: New Frontiers

What’s right for you
Might be wrong for me
But we don’t know
Let’s wait and see.

It’s exciting to explore
The differences we find
Though we are great together
We are not one mind.

You challenge me
And I return the favour
This back and forth debate
For me is such a pleasure.

I need your perspectives
They make me wonder why
I haven’t seen that view before
You feed my enquiring mind.

Shake me out of my lethargy
Make my eyes shine bright
I’ll challenge you in every way
Every day and every night.

Nothing that has been
Has an automatic right to stay
If beliefs can’t justify themselves
Happy to learn new ways.

Push me to peak fitness
And I’ll push you to face your fears
Let me open your mind
And I’ll show you new frontiers.

Surrender to your emotions
I’ll take you places science doesn’t know
No limits to what we can achieve
Together we will grow.

114: Different Roads

So many paths
That cross my own
So much wisdom
I’m never alone.

If we could only see
Inside each soul
And learn from them
We’d be nearer our goal.

For each has travelled
A different road
And each has coped
With a different load.

If we could only learn
A little from each
Imagine how much
The world could teach.

So open your eyes
When you walk out the door
Look within each person
For that gem in store.

74: Making Change

Find the positive, seek it out
Hold it in sharp focus and give thanks for it
Do this often.

Now look for the synchronicity
What have you learnt today?
What piece of information
Crossed your path today with perfect timing?
Which key to solving a seemingly
Intractable problem were you given today?

Think about the people you met
Trawl through the conversations you had
Mine for that golden nugget of information
That clue, that opportunity
That will lead, who knows where?

Did you turn down an invitation
In favour of the familiar or the comfortable?
Can you guarantee the outcome
If you had said yes to something new?
You cannot, and that is where the magic lies
Say yes and give the Universe permission to change your life
Magic happens when you make room for it.

Do something positive to change your life today
And the Universe will join you in creating that change.
Try something new and experience the unknown.
Look for the positive
Find and appreciate the positive
Act and expect the positive.

73: Monday

Reach out
Push yourself
Go beyond your comfort zone
That’s where discoveries are made
That’s when learning comes.

So new to this
So much to learn
Out here on my own
Nearly went home
But glad I stayed
Here in the zone.

Every time I stumble
In each new situation
I discover truths about me
I see opportunities to grow
Things to uncover
Myself waiting to be known.

65: This Is My Year

This is the year I connected with my emotions and my world changed.
The year I told people what I thought, not what they wanted to hear.
The year I made decisions that benefited me.
The year I took action to change my life.

This is the year that challenged me over and over again.
The year I faced my fears, over and over again
Finally recognising the importance of being true to myself in every situation.
The year I became selfish enough to do this and learnt that that’s okay
In fact it’s not merely okay, it’s right and proper
Because we spare the feelings of others to the detriment of our own lives.

This is the year I screamed and cried until I thought I’d die
Except I didn't, I lived and loved and lived again
Renewed, refreshed, brighter, bolder another year older
Yet freer and younger than I've ever been.

This is the year I found the strength to say no to people.
The year I found the strength to say yes to life and to ask for what I needed.
The year I realised it’s okay to need something or someone
And that it doesn't make me weak to know that truth about myself.
The year I realised that to be honest takes guts
That the truth is often painful and that most people would rather avoid it.
The year I realised I can’t do that any more.

This is the year I stopped needing my kids to need me.
The year I built my own life, separate and vastly different from that of a mother.
The year I had something to say that wasn't about my kids
Because I’d been somewhere and done something
Instead of being wrapped up in family drama.
The year I realised doing these things doesn't make me a bad mother
But a more rounded, balanced human being
In fact a better role model and certainly a happier person.

This is the year I sought out pleasurable experiences
And realised that half the things I’d been doing for entertainment I didn't enjoy.
They were just time-fillers and mental distractions
Excuses for not doing things that were emotionally challenging.

This is the year I sought to know myself
And found I liked the woman I got to know for the first time.

Lady Satellite

The end of December is an appropriate time for reflection. It's been a wild ride this year. I am very grateful for all the good and the bad experiences as I have learnt so much.

56: Stretching

Take me on a wild adventure to your home
Show me the colours of your world through melody and song
Excite my senses with the sensual rhythm of your Latin music
Expand my mind with unfamiliar sounds
I want to strain to grasp the meaning of the sultry Spanish lyrics as a whole
Without stopping to translate each line
I want to immerse myself in the river of language
And emerge joyful and fluent
I feel the plasticity in my brain as neurons firing I stretch my inward capacity I have a taste for this excitement
I want more

But it is your turn
Come with me now on a journey inside yourself
Close your eyes and feel your way
Let my music guide you to connect with your place in the universe
I’ll show you the melodic minor key that will knock you off balance
and then drop you in place so perfectly it will make your spine tingle
I’ll place you under the spell of the crystal singing bowl
That will tune your heart like the beautiful instrument all hearts are designed to be
I’ll unblock your chakras with the shimmering sound of a hand beaten metal gong
tuned to perfection,
Tuned in like this you will want more
Come stretch yourself with me.

Guide me

as I grow.

Hear me

once again.

Watch me
