Moments of Spirituality
We can never hope to attain wholeness as long as we ignore our Spirituality.
The Spiritual aspect of our nature is what sets us apart from animals. It’s the part of us that is seeking fulfillment, purpose, meaning, joy, peace, acceptance, unconditional love, and belonging.
This is the part of us that asks the hard questions as we seek to make sense of life and our place in it.
Why?
What’s the point?

Not the espresso of course, God knows I couldn’t wait a whole year to have my espresso. This is one of my favourite Good Friday rituals, a symbol of Easter with a message

Honouring and missing my dad on Father’s Day. In heaven there is a special seat by the water, waiting for the day that we can sit and talk again.

‘Authentic’ seems to be a bit of a buzz word lately. But what does it really mean? Does anyone know how to be authentic? Do we really want it and do we honestly respect it when we see it? I often define Authentic as Being Real. It’s a ‘What you see is what you get’

I live by an Abundance Mentality and for the most part this has served me well; the belief that there is enough for everyone on the planet. However, this belief has been seriously challenged in recent weeks by those who live by a Scarcity Mentality, and I’m fast coming to the conclusion that an Abundance

A few years ago I attended a business conference for women and the theme was Unmask Your True Potential. Many of the workshops were on how to love yourself, and finding your strengths. On the last day the presenter had the room buzzing with anticipation, and a little fear, as he had asked us to
