Well it has to be said... this winter has been one of the longest I can recall and although I am a winter baby, I am certainly no fan of the long dark nights and cold weather! ha
Well it's happy days from here on in for me and for many of you I imagine. Spring is now in the air and lingering... giving hope of better days to come!
I love summer, but spring has to be my favourite season... there is beauty unfolding in many places all around us with the promise of longer and brighter days.
Spring is an excellent time for us to refresh our mind and bodies. As the flowers begin to sprout their buds, it gives me so much inspiration... fills me with a hope, joy and excitement in a way that no other season delivers.
For me anything seems possible with spring in the air and it is an excellent time to rid yourself spiritually, emotionally and physically of all the things that no longer serve you... by doing so this allows us to make room for all the new and better things that life can offer.
As the sun beams through the window, gives thanks for the wonderful day that lies ahead and know that things can only ever get better and after every down there will always be another up!
Give thanks, smile and be happy, as spring is well and truly in the air!
Endless blessings to all.

A very very belated Happy New Year! Seeing as we are now in February!
Apologies for the delay... it seems i've been slacking! ha
2010 is here and in full swing. I must say I am relieved to see the back of January, it is always such a long month, but I feel this year it was exceptionally longer due to my fathers passing and the funeral not taking place until January 6th.
It a slow road to recovery, for my mother especially... but I feel i'm adjusting well. The strange thing is I often have to remind myself as a little part of it just doesn't seem that real? Strange but true!
New year on the whole is an invigorating time I feel, it is inspiring and fills us with optimism... the prospect of so many pleasant months ahead and all the new memories to be made within that year, the coming and going of each season and the dreams & wishes that we hope to fulfil... don't you just love it? What's not to love? It like being given a new lease of life and a clean slate! Bring it on!
I must say I myself am hoping to achieve some great things this year and I truly believe that anything is possible.. a little positive thought goes a long way!
Last year was mixed but so many opportunites and blessings came my way and I hope I have even greater opportunities this year.
Blessings come in many disguises and life is a continous lesson, embrace it, love & learn!
I am going to keep this post short and sweet and hope to make some more frequent blog entries this year... will do my best and keep you all updated.
So be happy & keep smiling.
Until next time...

So here it is, the final days of 2009.
2009 has been an interesting year for me, many opportunites, countless blessings and unfortunately some very difficult times.
As some of you may know, my father was diagnosed with cancer in September 2009 and regretably lost his very short battle on 17th December 2009.
RIP father I love you dearly.... Rest after weariness and peace after pain.
Sunrise: 4.8.1944 Sunset: 17.12.2009
The hardest thing i've learned about life, is that it goes on! and this is the mantra I remind myself of daily. It has been difficult to face my birthday and the festive period whilst grieving for someone so close to me, but I am getting through it with the help of my family & friends.
Now back to business! Many of us have been experiencing difficult times of late and this is all in preperation for the coming year. The things that no longer serve us and have no place in our lives will be leaving us and the things that are relevant and needed will stay.
Change is hard for everyone, but is something unavoidable. Some changes are easier to embrace than others, but no matter what the change, just know that the changes taking place are for the greater good and the universe will provide all of what we need.
and on that note I am going to leave this as my final entry for 2009.
I would like to thank you all for your support and love during 2009 and hope that our friendships and love will grow and mature in the coming year.
Best wishes to you all for 2010, may it bring much abundance, peace and love to us all.
Enjoy the celebrations.
Endless blessings.

It has been my intention for several weeks to come along and update this blog... but you will be able to tell by the gap in dates that I never managed to get round to it! Boo hoo... So here I am now, better late than never I guess!
It has been quite a crazy period for myself and for my family, with many things going on all at the same time which includes my father being diagnosed as terminally ill, with a very short prognosis. This has hit us, the family, like a brick...as i'm sure news like that would hit any other family. I have learned so many things in these past 2 months about myself and my family, some good & some bad.
The emotions which I have experienced are just too great in depth for me to explain here or articulate. I have cried in so many ways and shed tears in utter silence... something I never knew was possible.
My greatest fear has come to face me dead on... how will I cope without my parents? I thought I had done all my growing up by reaching the legal age of consent for most things and being able to vote etc... but for me, the thought of no longer having the support and reassurance of your parents face to face on a daily basis, seems more apparent to me as the point at which I have to grow up. This is the time where you truly do have to become self reliant and where you discover what you are truly made of.
I didn't know I had such strength within me!
The saying 'Once an adult, twice a child' rings so true. It is tough to be very suddenly placed in a position where you have become the carer and your father, your dependent, especially when it is 20 or 30 years too soon.
Life is short and very precious. To know that you only have limited time changes your perception drastically. I try to live in the moment and make each minute count, but this present experience just reinforces my beliefs... as hard as it is to cope with and as much as I wish it wasn't happening to us... it is and there is nothing I nor anyone else can do to change that.
So live, love, laugh, be free and treasure each and every special moment you have with those that you love.

Well here I go again....
Last week was an extremely interesting week, busy as ever but the universe has been sending me some direct messages!
On Monday night I was travelling home to my place with a friend, along a main road, when a black cat suddenly appeared in front of my vehicle... shock horror I hear you say! The cat seemed to come from the left of the road/my vehicle.... It was such a horrid moment and I hate to admit, but I covered my eyes and began screaming, alongside my friend.
This incident shock us both up big time!
On the Wednesday evening I found out that my uncle had passed away and I began to think that the black cat incident was a warning from the universe for bad news coming. Anyway later that evening whilst on my way home from my mothers house... whilst driving on the same road and in the same place a black cat again crossed the path of my car, but this time in the opposite direction, from right to left. I now believe that this second incidence was the universe giving me closure and confirming what I already suspected.
I am happy to say that neither of the two cats were harmed and it was an unpleasant experience, however, it is interesting to see the way that the universe communicates with us all.
Would love to hear of anyone elses experiences so feel free to message me or add something to the forums.
Anyway I must leave you all now for the evening.
Sleep well and endless blessings

Summer is drawing to a close and autumn is now beginning to show signs of it's presence...
The past month has been a busy one for me. Towards the end of August I took a weeks vacation to Jamaica, but unfortunately had to return home early due to my father being ill.
It has been a difficult couple of weeks for my family and I, but together and united i'm sure we will all pull through this.
I must admit it is times like this when your faith is tested, but what I have realised is that my faith is more important than ever during these difficult times... Faith gives you hope and without it I would be truly lost.... I can not begin to imagine a life without it.
We all need something to believe in, especially during the tough times and most people who are non believers will find that even they suddenly find themselves needing something to believe in and pull them through.
The short time that I did spend out in Jamaica was as amazing as ever. Both my parents are Jamaican and I still have family that live there. I have been many many times and I maybe I am biased but everytime I go it feels like a home coming when I see the land, so green and lush and the beautiful turqouise waters.... I find it to be a very spiritual place with some truly amazing energies.
On this visit I was lucky enough to capture an orb on nearly everyone of the pictures i had taken, I could feel the energies and spirit and they were plentiful. Amazing!
If i find some time this week I will post a few pictures here on the site.
It is interesting when you visit somewhere like Jamaica. Most people are very poor and still work the land farming to generate an income for themselves and family, but as poor as it is, no one can starve in Jamaica because the land is so fruitful... when you see it you can understand why it was invaded so many times, the invaders thought they had struck gold!... and why the likes of Ian Fleming, Noel Coward and Errol Flynn chose this beautiful island as their final home.
If you ever have the chance to visit you must, it is beautiful away from the hotels and the people are hilarious... Jamaicans have a great sense of humour and always have time for a chat and to tell a tale!
Ooh, i'm yearning to go back as I write this... perhaps one day I will be lucky enough to make it my base and home.
I shall leave you all now, but before I go I just wish to remind you all that what you put out to the universe is what you get back! So pretty pretty please keep the positivity flowing between us all.
And if you can't think of anything positive or nice to say... keep it to yourself and let go of it..... negativity will never help you prosper!
Blessings to one and all on this day.
Love and big hugs

It seems that there has been some curiousity behind that recent epiphany of mine... (thank you Bill) Can you believe it? Someone actually reads my blog.. oh joy, oh rapture!
So here is the article cut and pasted for all to read... I'm unsure of theauthor, but forever grateful to him for this important reminder.
Art of Following Intuition
Listening to, trusting, and acting on your intuitive inner guidance is an art.Like any other art or discipline, it requires acertain commitment. It is anongoing process in which we are always being challenged to move to a deeperlevel of self-trust.
For most of us, the practice of allowing our intuition to guide us is really a new way of life, very different from what we have been taughtin the past. Attimes it may feel uncomfortable or even a bit frightening. If we have been conditioned to try to approach life entirely rationally, to follow certainrules (or to automatically rebel against them), or to do what we think other people want us to do, then beginning to follow our own inner sense of truth is a major shift. It's natural for it to take some time and it may be a little difficult and confusing at certain moments. It's important to be very compassionate with ourselves in this process.
At times we may be veryaware of the conflicting voices inside of us. One part of us may be excited about making changes while another part of us is terrified aboutit. If we can acknowledge and honour all our different inner voices and their feelings, our intuition will show us an appropriate step to take -- one that moves us in the right direction without being too frightening for our vulnerable selves or too radical for our conservative parts.
Opening New Doors
The more we practice following our intuition, the more faith we get,because we see that it really does work. Not only is nothing disastrous happening (as in our worst fears), but our lives are actually getting better and better.Remember to start with small steps until you build a sense of confidence in yourself and can gradually tackle bigger issues.
Your intuition will most likely push you gently toward taking some appropriate risks and trying new things. For example, you might have a fantasy of doing something creative that you haven't done before, such as taking art, dancing,or music lessons. An inner critic voice might try to stop you from risking failure or embarrassment by whispering in your ear, "Don't be silly, you're not creative!" or "You're much too old to start something totally new." You can acknowledge your
inner critic and thank it for its attempt to protect you from humiliation.Then you can go ahead and give it a try anyway. Your intuition may be trying to show you that you have a new direction in which you need to move
or that there is something within you that is trying to come through. If you give yourself permission to try it, you don't have to be great at it; just do it for fun. Follow your intuitive impulse and see what happens. It may open a new door for you. It may give you a chance to play and discover a new part of your personality that you haven't learned to express before.
Suppose you have always wanted to start your own business. Allow yourself to fantasize about it. Start thinking about what steps you could take in that direction. Ask your intuition to show you what to do. Try following any impulse you might have to explore this possibility. It may be that nothing will happen,or that you take a few steps and then feel blocked.This may be an indication
that this is not the best course of action for you at this time. Or it may mean that you need to be
opentoit happening in a totally different and unexpected way. Stay open and see what happens. I know many people who have become very successful this way. As you learn to live from your intuition you may find that the process of making decisions changes. Rather than just trying to figuret hings out in your head,you follow your intuitive feeling for a while and let things unfold. In the process, the right decisions usually getmade.
For example, if you are unhappy in your job, don't immediately make a decision to go in and quit, unless you truly have a strong gut feeling that that is the best course of action. Instead,explore and acknowledge your feelings, such as,"I'm really unhappy here, I'd like to work with people more," orwhatever. Then turn it over to your intuition and allow it to show you step by step what you need to do. You will probably find that something will emerge.You may find that your current job changes and improves, or you may get an inspiration about a different career and begin to explore that possibility. You may follow an impulse to interview for another job and find that it is right for you. Or you may get very clear that you need to resign, and it will feel appropriate to do so. The right action will emerge from the process. If you have a problem to solve, or a desire to fulfill, try turning it over to your intuition. For
example, if you feellike your social life is boring or unrewarding and you'dlike to makenew friends, consciously ask your intuition to guide you inthisprocess. You might find that a week or two later you read about ahobby groupand you intuitively feel drawn to attend. You may end up
joining a camera club or a hiking club and find a new circle of friends with acommon interest.
Somepeople fear that trusting their intuition will lead them to do thingsthatare purely selfish, irresponsible, or hurtful to others. Inreality, theopposite is true. Since intuition is connected to our soulsand to theuniversal intelligence, it is always guiding us to our ownhighest good and thegreater good for all concerned.
Whenwe follow our intuition, we sometimes behave in new and differentways,and others may sometimes be temporarily disappointed or upset.For example, if you are a very giving person who has always tried toplease andcare for others, your intuition may push you to learn to say"no"when you really don't want to do something, and to set betterboundaries withpeople. At first, this might upset someone. In the longrun, however, you andeveryone else you relate to will be healthier andhappier because of thischange.
It's actually quite amazingto watch how the intuitive process sorts things outso that everyoneends up exactly where they need to be, doing exactly whatmakes themhappiest.
A Guiding Force
In the process oflearning to trust intuition, some people go through a periodof timewhere they feel like their life is falling apart. Relationships mayendor change dramatically, you may move, change jobs, lose interest infamiliarpastimes. These are indications that you are letting go ofcertain
aspects of your old identity. If you tried to holdon to it, you would limit orimprison yourself. The forms in your lifehave to change because you are changing. It's a matter of trusting thateven when things are not going exactlythe way you expected, there is adeeper perfection in the process. New
forms of relationship, creativity, work, and home will come into being and theywill reflect your growth and development.*
*Formore understanding about how following your intuition can changeyourlife, I suggest reading my book Living in the Light. It's importantto haveemotional support while you are going through these kinds ofchanges. Find a
friend or group of friends that you cantalk to about your hopes, dreams, andfears, someone who can support andencourage you as well as give you honestfeedback.
Sometimesfamily or old friends feel too threatened by the changes you aregoingthrough and are unable to give real support. You may need to seekoutpeople who are interested in personal growth.
One ofthe best ways to do this is to go to a workshop or join a supportgroup(or create your own). Learning to follow your intuition cansometimes feel abit like "living on the edge". In a sense, it'slearning to livewithout the false sense of security that comes fromtrying to controleverything that
happens to us. It'srecognizing that as we follow our inner guidance, wonderfulthings aregoing to unfold for us, things that we may not yet even imagine.
Graduallywe become less afraid and more comfortable with uncertainty. Wecanlearn to enjoy not knowing! It's actually a very exciting, alivefeeling. Wecan learn to move into the unknown with the confidence thatwe have a guidingforce within us that is showing us the way.
I'm hoping this article inspires you all as much as it did for myself.
Love & blessings always.

Hello lovely people!
Ok so the blog has been quiet this past month and we are now nearing the month end. I've been busy with work and several other projects and if i'm totally honest, I lost my way a little spiritually... in the sense of needing some answers... even psychics have problems! and yes it's true, spirit will not always answer your questions... they want us to learn our lesson and figure it out ourselves! ha
I asked my guides and the angels for my epiphany, for them to show me the way and let me know that this path was the right one...
Ask and you shall receive.... our requests never go unheard...
I'm now pleased to say that my epiphany came this evening days after my request and i'm not complaining! ha
I read an amazing article which has re-ignited my faith and passion and reminded me why I am where I am today and what it is that has helped me along the way.
It may not seem very much to some of you, but sometimes I guess we all need that little bit of reassurance to let us know we are on the right track.
Finally let me leave you with this... Trust in the universe, your requests never go unheard... and when you put your faith in the universe and go with the natural flow of things... things always magically slip into place.
and this was the reminder I needed this evening!
Endless blessings to one and all
Love
Angel xx
