A gentle pull to consciousness tugs me little by little, calling me from the deepest sleep.

Eventually I come to, the hour is early and the light has not yet begun to melt away the inky depths of the night. 

Blinking into the dark, I begin to notice an orange glow swirling around me, dancing to its own rhythm.

The shapes and colours are hypnotic like the flames of a fire, and my curiosity takes over as I slip from the covers, abandoning the warmth of my bed.  

I follow the dancing glow from room to room, until I find myself outside in the crisp night air, and although my feet are bare on the frost laden earth, warmth surrounds me, and I do not feel the ice crystals beneath my feet.

All at once my heart quickens and my breath catches in my throat; suspended for a moment, before it puffs out in a billowing white mist, dissolving into the velvet dark of night.

There, standing right in front of me is a beautiful Fire Horse in all her glory!

And oh!  How majestic is her glory! 

Her presence wraps round me with the wisdom of her quiet strength and power, and the stillness of her divine peace and love.

And the warmth of her heart melts away any lingering uncertainty I hold.

She lowers her head to mine in greeting as she patiently waits for me to move forward.

Gently, I cup the sides of her face and we stand, suspended in time, gazing into the depths of each others eyes.

Unspoken words passing from soul to soul

And I know in my heart that she is here just for me, and this, this is what I have been waiting for. 

She bows inviting me to climb on, “it is time” her heart whispers to mine, and my body holds on to her without hesitation.

Unafraid of her fire, instinctively knowing that we are safe, instinctively knowing that I am ready.

And as we gallop through the icy winter night, the flames of my sovereign truth and power ignite in the most beautiful colours, as I surrender to and embody all that I truly am, and all that I came here to be.

My own fire burns brightly as she carries me forward into the new, into the unknown.  

And there is no doubt; this is the beginning, this is what I have journeyed towards.

Every step, every experience, every set back, every shedding, every healing, all of it, has led me to this moment.

And oh! How it was all worth it! 

To be here right now! My entire being trembling with the sparks of excited arrival, and shimmering diamond lights of possibility, dancing in galaxies above my form.

Ignited energies of freedom and power and truth and knowing, swirl and fizz and pop through every cell of my body, trailing a blaze of pure love and compassion in our wake.

And as we ride into the dawn, I have never felt so alive!

Love, Always

31st December 2025.
The sun is shining on a bright and beautiful winters day. The energy is still, yet there is an undeniable hum. The pause, the reflection, the peace and acceptance of all that has been, before the chime. The understanding that this, right here and now, will be no more.
Do we grieve our parting or do we sink into gratitude and allow the experiences, the lessons, the uncovering to really settle in our bones.
Do we skate over 2025 with gloss or do we exhale in awe of where it has bought us to, at times kicking and screaming and exhausted from our inner work.
Do we feel the same or are we brave enough to sit in the space of soul and let ourselves feel deeply into our becoming.
Quiet is the day. Quiet is the heart. Quiet is the moment of embodied truth. Quiet is the stillness of being. It is here in this space where gratitude rises, this year, this 9 year cycle. This soul truth is all that really matters.
And now, the story continues, a new year, a new era and a new you rises.

Love, Always ♥️

What if I dared to open my heart
And set the intention
Right from the start
To feel truly present
In each new day
How would it feel
To let soul lead the way
Through my ups and my downs
Through the good and the bad
In the joy and the laughter
In the tears and the sad.

What if I dared to open my heart
And lead with love
Right from the start
To soften myself
With gifts from my soul
Of tenderness
Of compassion
Of kindness
Of love
What if I held myself
With all the above.

What If I dared to open my heart
And let each new moment
Be a brand-new start
How would it feel
Not to fear to let go
To never fall beyond
The arms of my soul
To be held
To be safe
To be seen
To be loved
What if I held myself
And allowed the above.

What if I dared to open my heart
And share my gifts
Right from the start
How would it feel
To be brave
To be bold
To lead with love
And it never gets old!
How would it feel
To see others anew
To be thankful
To be grateful
For me and for you.

Yes! I dare to open my heart
I am thankful
I am grateful
And this is my new start.

Love, Always ❤️

Happy Sunday Beautiful Souls
Sharing some words that came through to me today on the beauty of allowing.

Love Always ❤️

The Blooming Heart – Helen Galbraith

And the Christ light shone down on planet earth, illuminating every single part of her
Seeping through her cracks and her crevices, burrowing deep down through her layers
Right into her heart, right into her core and lighting her up, from the inside out and the outside in.

And she glowed
She glowed with the light of billions of stars
She glowed with the light of love
And her land that was seeing and feeling so much darkness, became light
And so too, did all her beings, all her souls, all of humanity, became light.

And the people, they turned their faces up to the sky and the light sparkled like diamonds in their eyes
Their gaze was one of wonder and awe, as every breath they took, the light filled them more and more
Weaving lights of love through their cells
Right into their hearts, right into their core
Some knew of this light, and some knew nothing of it at all
Yet all were filled, not a single soul was left untouched by the light.

And the animals, the animals, they already knew!  
They had been patiently waiting for this glorious golden endless shower of pure bliss
And the woodland animals danced and scampered in circles of joy, and the whales pirouetted and the dolphins raced by, and the birds drew love letters of light in the sky 
And the wild animals came together in great numbers too, as they paid homage to the light and the love that they knew, had been here for centuries for me and for you
And the cats and the dogs, all domestic animals too, opened their hearts filling themselves anew
For their mission on earth, was to help the people to hold the light, for more than just a moment or two.

And all beings on earth glowed  
They glowed with the light of a billion stars  
They glowed with the light of love
And the land that was seeing and feeling so much darkness became lighter and lighter
As the earth and all of her beings, one by one, shone brighter and brighter
And there it was, for a moment or two, the world and her children, shining, the most beautiful golden hue.
 
Yes this light is for Christmas, yet it is so much more
It's every day living, it's everyday loving, it's everyday shining, deep from our core.

And the light continued to shine on the earth, in the hope that we'd absorb its beauty and worth 
And the animals, they helped the earth to hold this glorious light, as they effortlessly shined brighter than bright
For they understood the part that they played, in elevating the earth and lighting the way, for humans to see, in the hope that the blinkers dissolve for the likes of you and me.

And now it is time, time for the people to play their part
No matter how big or small, each one matters, each one affects the all
Each thought, each action, ripples through our core, each one chooses, will it be love or will it be war
And when the people start to realise and answer the call, this light is for Christmas, yet it is so much more  
Then humanity will glow united as one and the earth she will thrive, when the darkness is done.  

Love, Always ❤️

As the hands of time tick-tock
On another New Years Eve
The hands of time tick louder
As the year prepares to leave
Our focus in the moment
Of all that has been done
The energy of the last 12 months
We’re excited to be gone.

Hope and wonder sparkle
Glittering in our eyes
As we watch the pretty patterns
Lighting up the sky
There is lightness all round us
Of all the next year will bring
Reflecting in our new year cries
As we all start to sing.

Happy New Year!
Let’s make it a good one!
Let it be our best!
Our hearts open wide in this moment
Embracing all we can be
As we love each other with abandon
Believing in the best version
Of you and you and me.

And so, the next year moves in
And soon the sparkle seems to fall
The beliefs we held at midnight
Fall from our hearts
To be trampled on the floor
And the tick-tock of time
Is heard no more
As we trudge from chore to chore.

And so, we make it through another year
Exclaiming, where has it gone!
And the ticking hands of time
Can be heard by all once more
And the hopeful magic in our hearts
Opens its ever loving door
And we are present
In the moment once more.

But, what if we did things differently
For more than a week or two
What if we stayed in the moment
And watched us blossom and bloom
The whole year through.

What if we kept our hearts open
And slowed into present time
Being in each and every moment
Feeling the sublime.

What if we allowed this notion
To follow us through the year
Of walking in love and compassion
Of feeling the presence and holding it dear.

What if we let our hearts show us
All that we can be
For more than just one night
For all eternity.

What if we embraced each other
Believing in the best version
Of you and you and me.

What if we try it and see.

Wishing you all a very happy 2023.

Love, Always ❤️

Easter Blessings.

Come sit with me my love, in the morning of the sun
For here in this Equinox, my spring has now begun.

Come sit with me my love, and feel with eyes anew
As I fill your heart with the light of spring, the light of all that is true.

Come sit with me my love, and breathe in my earthly scents of spring
Feel your senses come alive, as the newness now begins.

Come sit with me my love, and hear the birds, they sing for you
The bees collecting nectar, for the sweet honey they gift you too.

Come sit with me my love, and I will hold you in my arms
Embracing you with love, and all my earthly charms.

Come sit with me my love, my heart, it belongs to you
This springtime of new beginnings, I created just for you.

Come sit with me my love, in the morning of the sun
Hold my hand, and together, we’ll move forward
In love as one.

Love, Always ❤️

In the beginning, there was light, so much beautiful light

But as time went on, the light became covered in darkness

And the world blindly stepped through the dark of each day, oblivious of life, in any other way.

✨

Yet the light remained present, and from within the dark cloak of the night

The light leaned into the darkness, dissolving the depths to mere shadows

And the shadows, surrendered to the light, watching themselves melt into particles of bright

Into particles of light, so much beautiful light.

✨

And so, the light travelled the world, journeying to each and every darkened place

Unafraid of the terrain; the twisting and turning, the raging and roaring, the black…nothingness

Were simply the magnetised destinations of call, for this journey, would see the light visit them all.

✨

And this journey, would see so many stories take flight, as the darkness dissolved with the strength of the light

As the shadows surrendered their tales of woe, revealing lights that were buried, so very long ago

Through pain and suffering, desolation and loss, lights had been dimmed at the greatest of cost

Lights had been hidden from angry footfall and in trembling fear of the majesty of all

That is bright, of all that is one, hidden deep in the depths where the sun never shone.

✨

Yes, the light was courageous, the light was strong, the light was vision, and the light travelled on

Trailing a blaze of glory in it’s wake, stirring the earth from her slumbered state

Touching all beings of this earthly plane, listening to their stories, one by one, dissolving the darkness, and revealing the sun

Trees and flowers glowed, bathed in the light, and the evening stars became brighter than bright

Rain forests lush with rich emerald green, mountain peaks glistened, into the clouds it would seem

Glaciers illumined, their energy stretching far and wide, the stream, the river, the ocean tide

And the animals, the animals, they already knew, the light within them, and all that was true.

✨

And this dance of light, moved through the people too

Melting away their troubles, their fears, and their weariness of view

And as they bathed in their light, they saw themselves new

With love in their hearts, they embodied all that is true

A marriage of love and light, in me and in you.

✨

And the earth, she thrived with love in her land

And the people walked with reverence, holding her hand

And their love grew stronger and so did the light

Continuing its journey, touching one and all

Eternally seeking, those that will answer the call.

✨

And there was light, so much beautiful light

And as time went on, the light became brighter and brighter

And the world lovingly stepped through the light of each day, oblivious of life, in any other way.

Love, Always ❤️

We step forth on this carpet of sparkling light
Ready to journey into the deep winter night
And the daylight fades quickly as the night starts to fall
On this day, that is the shortest of them all.

Yet the stars shine brightly in the indigo sky
As the snowflakes dance around us, from way up high
Glistening in their floating descent, sparkling jewels
From heaven sent.

We tread through the crystalline flakes on the ground
Our footsteps hardly making a sound
Animals are cosy deep under our feet
As they embark upon, their winter of sleep.

The air is so crisp and our breath, it’s so pure
As it swirls in misty wisps, then becomes no more
And the breeze, she joins us as we journey through the snow
Caressing our faces with her snowflake glow
Her song is like angels in a faraway choir
Drawing us closer, lighting our inner fire.

For there is such magic, in the air tonight
As this winter solstice brings forth a special light
We’ve been waiting and waiting for a hundred years
And waiting a hundred more, for this light to open The Aquarian door.

Our gazes rest, on a south westerley sky
And we watch with anticipation through the
naked eye
And the choir sings around us in this winter of sleep
As a light shines so brightly upon our land
As Jupiter and Saturn celestially join hands.

And with joy we gaze at this Christmas light
This beautiful star that shines so bright
Our cells dance and tingle with this energy anew
As the light, illuminates all that is true
And the darkness, the shadows, fall away with the night
As this shining star connects, with our inner light
And our eyes see with wonder, as the veil starts to fall
We are hopeful, we are love, we are one, once more.

With our souls burning brightly
We continue, our journey through the night
With this Christmas star, our true guiding light
Celebration and love stream deep from our hearts
Lighting the world, lighting our path
Now our souls are connected, the 2020 door open wide
In the Aquarian era, we now firmly reside.

So we listen to our hearts, and we cannot go wrong
We’ll follow the music and we’ll learn the song
This song is of love and light in our lives
This song is our soul’s most contended sigh.

As the energy of Air flows into the night
The Aquarian transition starts to take flight
This new era, the beginning, of 200 years
Return to the divine and the vision of Sears
Celebrating our magic and our soul and our light
We are safe, we are one, as we follow
This Christmas star tonight.

Love, Always ❤️
The Blooming Heart
