The Universe will ALWAYS provide...
21st July 2010
TRUST "All I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen" ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson The Universe will always provide, because the Universe always has. Has there ever been a point when the Universe has not provided? In truth No, because if that were the case you would not be here now. When you get the true sense of the magnitude of this you will be filled with awe and wonder - For I'm not simply talking about the Universe providing for you throughout your lifetime
Be True to You
25th June 2010
There's often the appearance in life that it's the circumstances surrounding us that dictate our state of well-being (or lack there-of). But that's all it is - an appearance. In truth our state of well-being - a state of peace, fulfilment and true, deep-seated happiness that is quite different to the feelings of pleasure gained from external circumstances - is down to one thing and one thing only: our alignment (our being and doing) with who we truly are. When we honour ourselves we
Karaoke Queen! Life Outside the Comfort Zone
1st May 2010
I have always loved singing. LOVED it! Adored it! At the same time, I have almost always believed my singing wasn't very good. Maybe not terrible, but still not something people would actually choose to listen to. I remember a few times as a child and teenager being asked, "If there was one thing you could change about yourself, what would it be?" And each time replying, "My voice." I wished I had a beautiful voice that people would love to hear as much as I lov
Happiness isn't what you think...
24th April 2010
You can't try to be happy. You can't chase or pursue happiness, because it's not something you can catch. You - or anyone or anything else - can't make you happy. You can only be happy. And being only exists right now. True happiness is a state of being...actually our natural state of being - possibly better known (and less mis-understood) as joy. Joy is non-resistance; surrender to the perfection of the moment - whatever that moment is and
The Truth of Humanity
18th April 2010
Maybe you think to yourself, "I'm just human." And you'd be right...sort of. You are human. As am I. As is Nelson Mandela. As was Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr. and Mother Teresa. As was Siddhartha Gautama. As was Jesus Christ. But there's no "just" about it. Jesus' purpose here wasn't to be worshipped after his death - to be held up as more than a man. He came here to show us the truth of who we all are. He came here to sh
The Adventure of Imperfection
20th March 2010
We are forgetful creatures, yet our forgetfulness is not by accident, but by design. For what would be the point to life if we had all the answers? If there were no mistakes or surprises? If we already knew it all? There would be no wondrous journey of discover, and so much of the beauty we find in the world would not exist. Like when you hear an exquisite piece of music for the first time and it just seems to transcend all Earthly bounds - taking you to a wondrous and beautiful place you hadn
Your Value to Me...
4th March 2010
To all my wonderful friends... To the amazing person that you are, on this day I want you to know: You are one-of-a-kind - like no other being that has ever been or ever will be - and that's something to celebrate, for the world is a different place because of you. Did you know that your smile can change a day and your love can change a life? In fact, every life you come in contact with you leave changed forever. The change may be big or it may be small, but their life will always be differe
The places you find Opportunity...
10th February 2010
OPPORTUNITY ...often comes disguised as a challenge When faced with an unexpected challenge it's quite normal to feel some "negative" emotions like anger, grief, overwhelm or fear.The important thing is to allow yourself to feel them but not get stuck in them, otherwise you might miss the opportunity that's surely going to come. As the old saying goes, "Every cloud has a silver lining", and it's vital to our personal happiness to go looking for that lining. And th
An Introduction to Meditation
2nd February 2010
What if the only thing wrong is the belief something is wrong? I've been contemplating that question a fair bit lately, including the several times over the last few weeks I've sat down to write an Inspirational Message of the Week, only to find myself lacking the vital ingredient of inspiration! I want my newsletters to be of value to you, so even while I want to give you a newsletter regularly I won't write one unless I actually have something to say! So in keeping with the questio

We are all one.
30th December 2009
This does not mean we are all the same. We are not. We are all unique, and every moment of every life is unique, and that is where the beauty of life springs from - the magnificence and wonder of life. It is how life works and fits together. For what would a song be if there was just one note? What would a garden be if there was just one flower? What would the world be if there was just one job? One enjoyment? One love? What would a human be if there was just one emotion? What would life be if t
My Christmas Wish
25th December 2009
May you find something precious in every day. If you don't think you can just look in the mirror, because the greatest gift, is always you!
The Key Ingredient for Success
13th December 2009
FAITH "...makes all things possible" ~Dwight L. Moody What's the difference between the person living their dreams and the person not? Faith. It's faith that allows you to take action even when you don't know where to start. It's faith that keeps you pursuing your dreams even when things don't turn out the way you'd like. It's faith that lets you dare to dream in the first place! I love the saying, in all the various forms I've heard it, "Whatever y
Shackleton's Expedition
4th December 2009
I'm in Sydney with my parents for a few days and yesterday morning I was lucky enough to see Shackleton's Antarctic Adventure at the IMAX cinema (extremely lucky, in that I happened to look on their website about 2 hours before it was on for the one and only time while I'm here). What a magnificent movie! If you ever have the chance, go and see it! The photography is spectacular, and the story of Shackleton's expedition must rate as one of the most amazing and inspiring in the hi
The Art of Surrender
23rd November 2009
SURRENDER ...is embracing the perfection of what is Surrender is not the same as giving up. Nor is it anything like resignation. It's accepting what is right now and having the faith that it's perfect however it is, even if you can't see how that can be the case at the moment. Intention For The Week Make the commitment to view the circumstances in your life as perfect, whatever those circumstances are. Simple Empowerment Steps Don't try to work out how the circumstances can be pe
Our Greatness
9th November 2009
GREATNESS "What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us" ~Henry David Thoreau While at the Mind Body Spirit Festival I was pondering all the people going to see psychics. I've noted before at the beach markets on the Gold Coast just how busy the fortunetellers are compared to the rest of the stalls. It seems that our fascination with our future stems from the belief, or perhaps hope, that the future will be better than now
Being Happy
1st November 2009
HAPPINESS The trick to life is being happy with what you have Have you ever seen a documentary in one of the poorest countries on the planet where the people barely have enough to survive and yet laugh and smile more than the average person walking down a city street? It's so easy to start thinking we need this or that to happen so we can be happy, when in truth we can choose to be happy right now with what we have. Often we get so caught up pursuing what we think will make us happy we actua
The Power of Gratitude
25th October 2009
GRATITUDE When you are grateful for all the world as a gift from up above, You'll realise what you're doing is simply allowing love Intention For The Week Become aware of things in your life to appreciate and be grateful for. Simple Empowerment Steps Whenever you brush your teeth ask yourself, "What am I grateful for?" If something happens that upsets you, ask, "What can I be grateful for here?"

The Secret to Life...
18th October 2009
PURPOSE Every person's true desire, throughout their very soul, Is to live a life of love and joy. To be one and true and whole Intention For The Week Make decisions based on what it is you really want. Simple Empowerment Steps Joseph Campbell put it perfectly... "Follow your Bliss!" I put it slightly differently... "Love This Moment!" Seriously, that's all there is to it. This week's quote comes from my book 'Love This Moment'
The Start of All of This!
11th October 2009
I was at a friend's for dinner last night and was asked about how I started "all of this". I usually think of it starting with the first slideshow version of "Love This Moment" that I made months before even thinking of turning it into a book. Last night however, I remembered that wasn't the start at all. While in truth I can now see I've been on this path my entire life (even if I didn't realise it at the time), the first time I ever put my writing together w
To reach a dream that seems remote...
4th October 2009
PERSISTENCE To reach a dream that seems remote you must round every bend, Instead of always turning back to retrace your steps again Sometimes it can seem like the journey towards a particular goal will never end, but it's important to remember that as long as you keep heading towards the goal and taking a step forward you will get there. Just like on a real journey, for 99% of the time you aren't at your destination, but that doesn't mean you aren't getting closer! Think of
"Love and do what you will"
27th September 2009
LOVE ...is who you really are Being love, you are always the source of love in your life. While it may not always seem that way, if you look closely at those times it appears that another person is the source of love in your life, you'll see that it's actually your love for them that you are experiencing. And conversely, looking to the heart of those times it appears someone has removed the source of love from your life, you will actually find that you have place
Give as generously to yourself as you do to others.
20th September 2009
Do you give more to others than you do to yourself? Have you noticed there are days when you feel like you just have no more to give? Have you noticed an attachment to other peoples giving towards you? Maybe not with everyone, but maybe there's one or two people who you (most likely unconsciously) expect to act in a certain way - a way that you believe will give you something (most likely emotionally)? And when they don't give you what you need you feel upset, disappointed, hurt, angry o
Two Sides of Generosity
13th September 2009
GENEROSITY ...is both the giving and the receiving, for there cannot be one without the other How often do we live our lives forgetting about the receiving side of generosity? Given many of us were brought up being taught "It is better to give than to receive", probably a fair amount. But actually it's not better to give than to receive - they're the two sides of the generosity coin and are both needed equally for true generosity to exist. I think sometimes we mistake receiving
Your Greatest Gift
6th September 2009
PRESENCE ...is the greatest gift you have for another Do you get that? Do you really get just how valuable your presence is to others? Do you get how much more your being means than anything you could ever do? When someone we care about is going through a tough time we naturally want them to feel better. And this desire can often leave us feeling helpless and useless as we have no idea of what we could do or say that would make a difference to them. And sometimes this fe
How To Be Courageous
30th August 2009
COURAGE ...is fear in action It's so easy to get caught waiting until the fear goes away before acting. But the truth is the only way the fear can truly go away is by acting. It's important to remember here that courage is not the absence of fear. Courage is feeling the fear and doing it anyway. Courage is acting in spite of fear. When you're in a dangerous situation - like being in a room with a lion (yeah, that happens a lot!) - fear can be useful. However much of the time our fear
Joy
23rd August 2009
JOY ...is just being yourself Truly, at the core of our being - at our heart and soul - all of us are joy. To be joy, we just need to be true to who we really are; to follow our heart, so to speak. Extremely simple but not necessarily easy, as most of us grew up being taught not to be our Self, not to follow our heart, then have spent many years perfecting it! As with everything, the first (and most important) step is awareness. Intention For The Week This week, hold the intention of becoming aw
