Loneli-mess

"Ahh... clutter. How I love you.  You fill my days with tension What if someone calls for tea? and shame  How can I exist in such a tip?"

Yesterday I uncovered the meaning of clutter, for generally organised, hygienic, and otherwise nice-quality people like us (that's you. and me.  people like you, and me).

It's not mess.  It's loneli-mess.

Often our home is empty- maybe we live alone- maybe we're travelling lots- or we could have a full house but "absent family".  When we create mess around us, it's because we need to be reminded that there's lots of stuff going on.  The subconscious message is:  we're needed,we're important!  On some level..to clear the clutter...permanently... to get things sorted, once and for all... is just too lonely to even think of.  "what then, what then?"  the ego whispers.

What then?

Love by the Sea... on Santa Monica pier

I hope you enjoy this pretty ode to romance tonight...




This weekend, may a cherished wish come true for you!


"In short, when you change yourself, you change the people and events around you.  By embodying your wish as if it has already occurred, you reprogram not only yourself but also the Universe."


Laura Day, The Circle

Love on the week-end

"Being in love is so good for you. Often when people are newly in love, things that have been bothering them for a long time get better. Something wonderful is calling the majority of their attention, so they're holding themselves in a better vibrational place, so the stuff they've been wanting all along can now zoom in." -Abraham-Hicks


This weekend, in love with.... (L to R) 
summers coming... the wild dog roses have arrived (smelling so divine!)
Bluebell glens and wild Manx garlic
Coconut-scented gorse and heady, sunshine-y days,
Magnificent sunsets on our doorstep
delicious home cooked vegetarian meals... baking, making, creating.  Yum.

I hope you fall in love this weekend, too!

Happy tears can heal the heart

Missed connections? Someone's loving you...

oh i do heart heart the "Missed Connections" series by Sophie Blackall.  Do these "almost love-affairs" inspire you, too?  i remember these places in New York, sexy glances exchanged, never to clap eyes on that stranger again... even now, on a sleepy island- or in a small village- or on holiday- it's the chances we don't take when we bump into someone who sends sparks flying inside us that keep us alone at night...

Feng Shui Says:  Blend heaven's grace with man-luck and take advantage of the next warm encounter that surprises you- it may have a very happy ending!

On many things magic

I believe in magic. I believe that wishes come true. And I believe because there’s evidence all around us- when we really look to see...


Full moon last night- wasn’t it strong?- did you feel inner changes calling you, or did random events seemingly happen to you?

Went down to the ocean to get a picture- for tonight I’ll leave this wide sandy beach- and the full moon held a special message for lovers! Look carefully!



An Upside-down love heart hangs in the full moon sky
Love’s reflection in the water.. its time to say good-bye.










The sunrise this morning reminds us that every cloud holds a rose-gold lining; it’s not the most magnificent we’ve seen, but I did promise you:

Now, as I write, the last of the washing hangs in strong sunshine and flaps gently in the sea breeze. It’s another perfect, sunny day in paradise.





Don’t really know what else to say, except that I am blessed with my favourite way to travel in style, as will be whisked off in a few hours by emirates chauffeur service to Brisbane and then on through Singapore, Dubai, Gatwick and onto the Isle of Man. Woo hoo! I feel so blessed! Looking forward to one of these delicious flat bed seats!

Husby’s pictures from yesterday, acting like a siren-song, luring me away from golden sands to his distant land…

Point of Ayre: the Isle of Man has beaches too, it’s just not Surfer’s Paradise…














Carlingford:

The weather forecast is wet, cold and windy,
And I can’t think of anywhere on earth I’d rather be.





To all Australian and US mummies; have a magical Mother’s Day!

May your road lead you home to those you love today.

What to do when a dream comes true

Faith is the substance of things Hoped for, the evidence of things unseen. The very fact that we have faith, is evidence that what we hope for is real.

- Hebrews 11:1

just a little PDG (public display of gratitude) that a beautiful wish of mine came true today as i hold in my hands a passport that lets me live and work and love and stay permanently where I have come to call my blessed home.

And the battle was won those long nights spent looking for just the right receipts...

On the many mail deliveries that brought another important document...

On the days in the past three months here thousands of miles away, imagining when Husby and I would be together again and create a life with no expiry date...

That's why it's a quiet victory now.

The battle wasn't won today. I had many helpers along the way- thank you! Energetic supporters, to a little or a large degree. Desire, and hope, and belief. And most magically, the faith and unwavering support of a beautiful Scottish rock- aka Husby.

Whatever you're waiting for... Keep the faith.

love,

Samantha.

p.s. A lovely example of how the strategies in May Cheat sheet are so powerful!

p.p.s. Do you believe in signs? Last week I kept stumbling across pictures like these... what do you suppose?

"A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep

In dreams you will lose your heart-ache

Whatever you wish for, you keep!

Have faith in your dreams, and someday

Your rainbow will come shining through-

No matter how your heart is grieving

If you keep on believing

The dream that you wish, will come true."

-Cinderella's song

Freeing the secret self

"The most enlightened people in the world embrace their full potential of light and dark. When you're with people who recognize and own their negative qualities, you never feel judged by them. It's only when people see good and bad, right and wrong, as qualities outside themselves that judgments occur."

~ Deepak Chopra, The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire

When I was 28 I learnt that...

... exploring what you consider to be the unlovable or shameful aspects of who you are will set you free. You might even enjoy owning these parts you always tried to keep secret!

Like the monsters under the bed that disappear when the lights come on, it is only by recognising our inherent innocence that we can learn to fully trust ourselves. We realise the only monsters under the bed are the ones we put there! And this re-found belief in our own innocence opens the door to real love.

what does your secret self constantly whisper about? could giving her her desire... set you free?

Have you decided to look for the monsters under your bed, and found anew life on the other side?

Lovers in London

I'm a sucker for a good love-story, aren't you? Not particularly tear-jerking or change the world original, but there is something very sweet about Kim & Josiah's engagement on the London Eye. Kim is very entertaining always, and here you can read she's just happy, happy happy.

Being excited for lovers and their delight is a wonderful way to attract more love of our own!

...perhaps I like this story so much because here on the gold coast, whether I'm running on the beach or out shopping, I'll (practically) run into it seems hordes of Asian tourists. They love to take pictures of things we take for granted: seagulls on the sand, the wide, empty ocean. I smile at the excited screams of the older men and ladies with trousers rolled up to ther knees- they get so excited as the waves rush around their feet. It's easy to become too amused!

Kim and Josiah's story reminds me that each day and every place is a miracle for someone- their life story unfolding. A dearly held dream comes true, at last, or a happy surprise is changing the life of everyone we see with a smile on their face, every time.

I love this thought.

Love and luck to you!

Why your home could be repelling love.

Where's the Love in your home?

Why your home could be repelling love.

Do a walk through of your home and ask yourself “Where is the love?” You may feel especially comfortable and other people comment positively about your bathroom, for instance, because you love your bathing ritual, and have made the room an especially nice space to be in. Our homes are blueprints of our personalities and show us exactly what we enjoy doing. But if this bathroom isn’t in your love direction, and the kitchen is, and you despise its layout, and spend as little time in there as possible, this negativity will express itself in the corresponding area of your life! Oh dear, what to do? It’s a walk through, asking yourself where is, and where isn’t the love in your home. If there is a room you dislike spending time in, consider how you could make it a more attractive place to be- by bringing in a plant or useful appliances, adding a splash of colour to the walls or burning a candle there regularly. Create love in every room of your home, and watch the love grow in your life.

Just Bonkers

i remember walking along the dirt road in Tobago on our wedding night, ludicrously dressed in white trousers...

i didn't think it at the time; I was worried about my shoes getting dirty!

We had supper in Bonkers, we love the joint, we especially like Troy, and how he so charmingly sweats it around the wood floor bure, holding it all together...

Husby has been there more than me, he spent weekends learning to dive in Tobago, and took Caribbean-faring holiday family to Bonkers.

I'd recommend it in a minute.

And to me I want it to stay the humid, outdoorsy, best-crab-cakes-on-this-planet place it is. It's the perfectly bonkers place to celebrate a brilliantly bonkers partnership.

Let Love Shine!

a lovely subscriber sent me a question, wanting to know how to increase her chances of conceiving and also how to enjoy a more loving relationship with her husband... so here are the positive energy tricks to do just this.

Dear S,
Thank you for your question. For hints on feng shui for fertility, there's some simple remedies here- "Bringing in the baby chi".

But you've brought up two strongly linked energetic questions and I want to go deeper with you...

Your letter reminded me of the song by Jack Johnson, called "Angel". In the lyrics he sings, "You've gotta be careful when you've got good love/ cos the angels will just keep on multiplying" I'm using his special insight to share with you a very effective feng shui strategy: a wonderful way to get closer to your husband and to make a baby is to really power up the love energy in your life!

As well as all the feng shui remedies to increase devotion, passion and partnership (just google "Feng Shui for Love" and you'll find dozens!) one of the most powerful things you can do is to make some new commitments to yourself.

1. Ideally tomorrow, as it's a powerful new moon day, make a decision about your life. For even stronger results, write it down. Own your desire to have children, decide you will, decide you will do whatever it takes to get closer to your husband, or decide that he is not the man for you and you want love & children in your life from another source.

2. Make the decision that you are in charge of the love you experience in your life. Carry a rose quartz tumbled stone around with you for the next 28 days and every time you see it or touch it, think of 1. how loved you are, 2. how much love you have inside of you, and 3. those things you really love.
- How loved you are.. call to mind family and frinds that love you and the ways they show you they care. take notice of the flowers, trees, sparkling water or shimmering desert and feel how much the universe loves you to give you a share in all this
- How much love you have inside of you.. remember times when you've done something special for someone you love. watch a sad movie and feel the compassion you have for the characters- and you don't even know them! think about the way you love your husband and get excited imagining the happy family you want to create.
-Those things you really love.. make a list of your favourite things and strive to incorporate them into your life everyday

And-

3. Decide to create a life you love. As you begin enjoying more love in your life, whether it's by making adjustments in your work, or body, or house so you feel happier, getting rid of toxic people in your life, or taking up a new hobby, you will begin to shine. As you smile more and look forward to more everyday, your whole energetic body will lighten and you'll become more attractive as a being... and positively irresistible to your husband!

Lastly remember, we absolutely get what we focus on. Appreciating even the tiny things your husband does for you, (tell him :), looking at him and remembering what a wonderful person he is (or recalling a nice memory of him), talking about him favourably and keeping a diary of all the times you're affectionate together will all make these things happen more and more in your life.

Be happy and the loved-up being you are, S, and know the Universe wants to give you what you want (it's not a question of IF you'll get it, the only question is WHEN.)

love & blessings to you,

Samantha.
