This evening at 8:30pm, my best friend Greggie and myself are switching off all the lights and turning off the laptops, the television and the radio that usually have our attention. What are we going to do for an hour? We're going to lie in the garden and stare up the stars, in silence. It is something special to know that you do not have to be lonely, but you can still take a few moments out of your life to be alone.
For one hour, we have been asked to honour this planet that has given us all of herself. It is one thing to simply switch off your lights and replace them with a candle as you go about your business, but it is another to rely only on the natural light that surrounds you for a while and be conscious for that hour. What is even better is that new moon has just passed and there will be very little of her light to distract us from the darkness that we have an opportunity to indulge ourselves in. Let us face it, we complain about the darkness even when we are surrounded by light and I am sure many are going to moan about having to refrain from using the light that we do not truly appreciate anyway. No, I am not talking about the light from a bulb or from the sun, but rather the hope and the faith that you have as you wonder through the darkness in this unknown journey of life.
It is Greg and my wish that you do not only honour this blessed planet and give her a moment to breathe and heal for one hour, but that you pay yourself the same kindness. Use this time to also take a deep breath and revel in the darkness with only the faith of the stars as your guiding light. It does not matter if you will not be on your own, that might even make it all the more special, but do yourself a favour and STOP. Stop being afraid, stop fighting the darkness, stop and appreciate the gift of light and hope, stop ... and say "Thank you"! Thank you to this incredibly tolerant planet of our. Thank you to yourself, because if you were not as brave, resilient and powerful as you think you are, you would not be fighting on. Use this great earth of ours as a shining example and make the most of this one hour you have to honour all that is great on this earth and in your life.
PS. If clouds hide the stars, enjoy that lesson too, because their might be more darkness, but it does not mean they are not twinkling just above you. So are you dream!
Please write and share with me how you intend to spend your one hour tonight, or better still, tell me about your experience after. I would love to be inspired by you!

Go on a journey to truly meet yourself?
Who you intend to be is only changed once you tell yourself the truth about who you are … not who you think you are because of what others have done or said … but who you truly are.
If you have vision boards or do daily affirmations, the majority of it works around changing something about yourself; be it material or physical. Have you ever asked yourself why the change is so important to you? Do you know why you wish for the things you do?
If you don’t know yourself beyond others’ perceptions, you wouldn’t possibly know your heart’s desires beyond it either.
Everything in this world is neutral and only manifests into something once personal thought impacted it. The same goes for you …
No matter what you look like, what car you drive, whether you give coins to a beggar or love the partner who is right for you; none of this is your truth unless you do not allow yourself to be swayed by the perception of others.
Could you write a list of all those things that define you. The things that no-one else has had the power to destroy about you. the things that you know without anyone else’s approval? Like how beautiful you are, how unique you are, how brilliant, creative or successful you can be or how talented you are. What are the unique gift you give to the world every day? If only your perception has defined you, you should be writing lists of talents, gifts, offerings to the world, special characteristics and pure magnificence.
Until then, step out of your own shoes and look at yourself … really look. It’s not often we truly witness a miracle …
Try this exercise for a few weeks …Watch the thoughts that run through your mind about yourself and see how much of that is really your truth or something you have blindly believed due to someone else’s perception of you.
THEN, tell yourself the truth about who you really are … chances are, you’ll meet someone really special and unique along the way … YOU!!!!!
Write to me with any questions about this exercise or share you thoughts so you can help others meet the greatest person in the world - themselves!

How tarnished is your perception of yourself?
On Perception
Who you intend to be is only changed once you tell yourself the truth about who you are … not who you think you are because of what others have done or said … but who you truly are.
If you have vision boards or do daily affirmations, the majority of it works around changing something about yourself; be it material or physical. Have you ever asked yourself why the change is so important to you? Do you know why you wish for the things you do?
If you don’t know yourself beyond others’ perceptions, you wouldn’t possibly know your heart’s desires beyond it either.
Everything in this world is neutral and only manifests into something once thought has tarnished its place in the world. The same goes for you …
No matter what you look like, what car you drive, whether you give change to a beggar or love the partner who is right for you, none of this is your truth unless you do not allow yourself to be swayed by the perception of others.
Before you fight me on this, stop … go get a piece of paper and write a list about all those things that define you. The things that no-one else has had the power to destroy about you, the things that you know without anyone else’s approval … like how beautiful you are, how unique your features are, how brilliant you are at sharing your feelings, what a great son or daughter you are, how talented you are, the unique gift you give to the world every day. If only your perception has defined you, you should be writing lists of talents, gifts, offerings to the world, unique characteristics and pure magnificence.
Until then, step out of your own shoes and look at yourself … really look. It’s not often we truly witness a miracle …
