forever inspiring
You're the Star, that shines so bright, giving me hope, bringing me light. You're the Star, in my heart, forever inspiring, igniting each part. You're the Star, strong in power, fading the darkness, sparkling each hour. You're the Star, soulful in time, guiding to goodness, simply divine. By Clarabelle 28 October 2021 London, UK
How’s your energy this fine day?
Good Monday morning to wonderful you.
Sometimes we slow down in our progress because of our misdirected energy. What do I mean by this?
Well, when our focus is out of alignment and our core values are not being honoured on a daily basis, our energy takes a different path or indeed a different form.
Think about what “doings” give you the greatest life energy and direct your focus more into that.
I was so excited this morning to write to you in this blog and that’s a very good example of where my energy needs to be.
As you move through your Monday, may you channel your energy in the right direction.
Create your day from the heart and your energy will be in abundance.
How’s your energy this fine day?
Love to you,
CLARABELLE 🦋
You are worthy of the greatest life, you are worthy, you deserve happiness, peace, harmony, joy, balance, love, wealth and true fulfilment in your life.
See yourself embracing the fullness of life, envision yourself as happy as can be, let your imagination take you to your dreams.
You are worthy, you are more than worthy, you, my friend, deserve the BEST.
Clarabelle
How do you know you are strong, how do you really know, have you tested your inner strength recently? Why not test it again over the next few days, weeks, months?…I encourage you to set yourself a goal, a goal that will challenge your inner being, a goal that when you reach it, you know that you are even more stronger that you could ever imagine.
Make a commitment to yourself to be brave, to release your courageous soul into the universe and let it unleash your greatest potential to fight for that goal. Â Make sure it’s a goal worth fighting for and if it is……well I already know you’ve made it, I already know and you do too.
Test your inner strength…….and enjoy the journey.
Love Clarabelle
Write Don’t Type!!
As I “type” this 🙂 I urge you today to handwrite a letter to someone.  By writing a letter to a friend or family member, to me, it actually feels much more meaningful, it gives it much more sincerity and thoughtfulness.  That’s not to say that an email can’t be, but I just think it is really nice now and again to handwrite a letter to a special person in your life.
Today I had the choice to send an email or handwrite a letter and for the first time in a long time, I did the latter…..I sat down at my desk and wrote a letter to the person. Â Now I did deliberately make more time for it and yes my hand was a little sore after filing 6 pages but, you know what, it felt really really good, I felt that I was putting some beautiful loving energy onto that paper and now that person will receive that lovely energy even more so when they read.
Who do you want to write a letter to today? Â I encourage you to take some time out of your beautiful busy life and handwrite a letter to someone important in your life. Â Believe me you will receive many benefits by doing this and so will the person receiving the letter, I am so sure of that.
Happy writing, love Clarabelle
Sharing some happy tears with you today.
In 1996 I replied to a newspaper advert, pen friends for people in the British Army – I thought it would be a nice thing to do.
On the 13th January 1997 I received my first letter from Steve, he was 23 years and had been serving in the British army since he was 18 years old, the airmail letter came from Bosnia. We never actually met, we just wrote to each other for a period of 2 years.
I was clearing out old papers from my mum’s house the other day and came across Steve’s letters to me – 31 of them. Â Today I am reading all these letters again, I am happy, I am sad (but in a good way) and I have gained such heart warming inspiration from them, all over again….I wonder where Steve is now? I wish him very well
These are the little unexpected moments of life that put some true meaning and purpose into it all. Â Feeling blessed.
Write a letter to someone today, go on, I know it would be a very lovely thing to do and you and the other person will get so much from it.
Love Clarabelle
Please note, that sadly after writing this blog post, I was so sad to find out that Steve passed away in September 2012 at the very young age of 39 years, I am so shocked. I will try my best to get in touch with his mum and forward his beautiful letters to her. He was so happy and full of life, such a loss to this world that he is no longer here. I think this is just a little reminder to us all that we must make the most of our lives and focus on the important things to us going forward. Clarabelle
A motivational poem for you:
Let’s Get Going
Let’s get going,
Don’t you stop.
Keep your head up,
Beep beep bop.
See the goal,
In your eyes.
Feel and believe,
It’s your surprise.
So soldier on,
Break through it all.
Imagine your life.
Over the brick wall.
At the rainbow’s end,
Celebrate your glory,
This is your life,
This is your story.
By Clarabelle.
Let’s get going my friends, you and me, let’s get going today!!
Love Clarabelle
I was at the Post Office this morning posting some Christmas cards and parcels to friends at home and abroad.  The person serving at the Post Office Counter, if I’m very honest, is usually almost always “grumpy”, I never really look forward to being served by him. However, this morning was different, today he was smiling, he was chirpy, he was definitely giving off “happy vibes”.  I smiled at him as I approached the counter and he happily took all my Christmas cards and parcels, weighed them etc.. and charged for them.  I was smiling at him the whole way through being served and saying “thank you”. He was really happy, I could tell, then he said “Can I help you with anything else?”, I said “Yes, I would like to take out £50 from my bank account but only if you have a £50 note”. He smiled and said that they wouldn’t normally have £50 notes but someone had come in earlier today and paid for something with lots of £50 notes.  He said therefore he could give me a £50 note and then, to my complete surprise, said he would go through all the £50 notes and give me the BEST, freshest, newest looking one.  I didn’t ask him to do that, he offered and I smiled very happily back at him and said “great, thank you so much”.
We had a short little chat about nice new money notes then he gave me my £50 note, smiled, said thank you and wished me a good day.  I was blown away, I would never have expected him to say this to me before now, I wished him the best day ever and I hopped happily out of the shop.
I felt so good after that interaction with this person, it just goes to show the difference we can make to another person’s life by just being pleasant, well mannered and giving off “happy vibes”.
Wherever you are in the world today remember the impact you have on others, so please make it a positive one, you just might make someone’s day.
Lots of love to you today and always, Clarabelle.
Happy Friday everyone, here is a sweet little beautiful, uplifting poem that I created this morning just for YOU. Â I am very happy and I want you to be too. Â Lots of love Clarabelle
Be Happy
I am so happy, life is so good
Spirits high, upbeat mood
All is well, all seems right
Stars shine, on me each night
My life is amazing, wonderful and true
My life is abundant, I want this for you
I want you to know, you have the power
To achieve your wishes, in this very hour
Start with your thoughts, keep a positive mind
Marry them with great feelings,treasures you’ll find
Like attracts like, remember this today
Be happy, stay strong, your happy life’s on its way.

On my bus journey back from my weekend in Manchester I decided to write some poems for you. Â Below is the first one I wrote, I think because I definitely feel like a positive energy bubble at the moment and I hope you do too. Â Much love to you today, Clarabelle.
Positive Energy Bubble
Positive energy bubble
Is where I like to live
Brighter than a star
Happiness I give
Attracting always good
Living life to the full
Be a positive energy bubble
It’s funky, hip and cool

I was listening to positive affirmations this morning by Louise Hay and one of the things she said really stuck with me, she said “give out that which you wish to receive”. Â Wow, I feel this is so true, the more beauty you give out to this Universe the more it will come back to you – like a boomerang that has picked up more goodness along the way. Here is a wee poem just about that, hopefully it will help you to think about what postive changes you want to make in your life. Â Lots of love to you today, Clarabelle.
You Get What You Give
You get what you give
So give a lot
You receive what you think
Look at what you’ve got
If you want to change all
You know what to do
Because Heart, mind and emotions
These feelings become true

The image below says it all really. Â I wrote this next poem for you. Â May you never give up on all that you are becoming and more. Â Love to you Clarabelle.
Never Give Up On You
Never give up on you
Show them what you can do
Dream a little more
Opportunity will knock on your door
Abundance awaits for you
Keep going, see it through
Step closer to your goal
Sweet diamonds come from coal

Here is a wee poem I wrote last week, STOP that inner critic, pick up a penny, hold it close to your heart, make a wish and pass the penny on……..now believe that your wish will come true, MAKE your wish come true. Â Wishing you wonderful moments of fulfilled wishes. Â Love Clarabelle
Wish Upon a Penny
I listen in the silence, sweet birdies do sing
Should I turn on the TV and drown out their din
I will ignore their calling, just for a while
I’ve a busy mind, chores they do pile
The sun it may shine, but my head’s in a cloud
A storm is brewing, amongst this crowd
I’m strangled in frustration, fighting the war
No one sees me and my internal decor
To just get by, another day,
Gives me hope, paves the way
Then Lightning strikes, STOP, look at your life
Look at your reactions, creating this strife
Sing another song, dance to another tune
Darkness will fade, here comes the moon
See the beauty, in each moment now
Look in the mirror, don’t ask how
Be grateful for your riches, you have many
Create a new you, wish upon a penny

As some of you may already know I have my own Professional Coaching Business, Murray People International Coaching, www.murraypeople.com. I set up the business in 2008 after a wonderful career as a Human Resource Professional and now nearly 5 years later, it is still growing strong…I love coaching.  I mainly coach Senior Executives in Global Companies but I also do private one to one Career and Life Coaching, I am fully certified as a Professional Coach.  I really love working with people and seeing them achieve their goals in life.  I deliberately make a real effort to continually develop myself everyday so that I can use my learning in my one to one sessions with my clients, I know the better that I can become, then the better I will work with them, and the better they will become and get the results they want.  Every new coaching tool I learn for clients, I also apply to myself, this helps me to personally evolve and increases my self-awareness.  So lately I have been asking myself my own questions about my life, here is the question I asked myself recently:
What do you want your life to be/look like one year from now? Â Â Â
So, of course, I went to work and I looked at each area of my life and in great detail wrote down what I specifically want my life to be and look like one year from now. Â I absolutely loved this process. Â I looked at the following areas:
Three pages later and I had a wonderful vision of where I WILL be one year from now because I believe that will happen for me, because I WILL make it happen for me. Â I have a very good track record, I was thinking of goals I have set myself in the past and fully committed to and I can honestly say I have achieved every single one of them, so this gives me an abundance of self-confidence going forward.
What About YOU?
If you want to make positive changes in your life, I would totally recommend that you sit down quietly with a notepad and pen or type on your computer/iPad and answer that question for yourself:
What do YOU want YOUR life to be/look like one year from now?
What you do after that is your choice, I read my list every morning, so I can get my specific goals embedded into my heart, mind and soul and this helps me to become super focused in achieving that for myself, sometimes without even trying. Â You see it is like programming my brain to focus on achieving that for myself, so my everyday choices and decisions are in support of those life goals. Â I am super focused, laser focused, fully committed and fully passionate about making these goals happen for me. Â I want the same for YOU, I want you to have a better life, I want you to have everything that you have ever wanted, I want the BEST for YOU, I truly and honestly do. Â It’s your life, GO GET IT!! Â (I think I may make that my new slogan!!) Â
May every thought that you think today, be in support of a better you and a better life for you, lots of love, as always, Clarabelle.
I am waiting on a colleague to call me this morning and during this tranquil time before we speak I thought I would write a little poem, because I feel I haven’t shared a poem on here for a while. Â So here is what poured out of my being, it took less than 60 seconds to create, so I guess I must be connected to the right sources for this to happen – this is creative flow at its very best. Â I hope you enjoy, lots of love to you today, Clarabelle.
Take Your First Flight
The experience of life, will make you strong,
Your spirit will uplift you, to where you belong.
All is whole, truth and more,
Welcome the world, open the door.
A grateful heart, will always smile,
Magical moments, are felt for a while.
And as the curtain falls, and the audience moves on,
Stand there tall, for you have not gone.
Your soul is forever, it sparkles and shines,
Listen to, its beautiful chimes.
Take your frequency, as high as a kite
The Universe is waiting, take your first flight.

Winning starts NOW, not yesterday, not tomorrow, not one hour from now, WINNING STARTS NOW!! Â Go, Go, Go!! Â This next poem is inspired by just that. Â May you keep on winning today, love Clarabelle.
Winning Starts Now
To win in your heart, will keep you alive;
Do your best, grow and thrive.
It’s not about the past, that’s forever gone;
Rise with the sun, from dusk til dawn.
Winning is now, feel it from within;
Strive to be better, for you just win.
Keep motivation high, do what you say;
Live in this moment, live for today.
People will come, people will go;
Truth never leaves you, this I know.
Keep focus strong, create all you can;
Abundance will follow, every woman and man.

Happy Mother’s Day
It is Mother’s Day here in the UK and I want to send out a beautiful blessing to all the wonderful Mother’s out there, who bring much love and abundance to this world. Â This next poem is dedicated to my own beautiful mum, to your mum too and indeed, if you are a mum. Â Wishing you a very special day filled with love. Â Clarabelle
A Mother in a Million
Mother you are so beautiful, in every single way,
You brighten up each moment, and listen to what I say.
Your love is so very special, to each and everyone,
You’re a mother in a million, stronger than the sun.
I love you so dearly, more than you’ll ever know,
Thank you my wonderful mother, your wisdom has helped me grow.
Who is She?
I write with ‘she’ in mind. Who is she? Â What can she become? Â What does she dream about? Â What hopes are in her heart? Â What happiness does she bring to others? Â What if she just lived? Â What if she became alive, right now, in this moment? Â What wonders would she bring to this world? Â “She” may be you, “She”, may be me. Â Who is she? Â This next poem is inspired by just that. Â May the beauty of each day, shine in your soul forever. Much love to you today, Clarabelle
Dreams in her Soul
She writes with love, she writes with light;
Early in the morning, and last thing at night.
She opens her heart, to everyone;
Sharing her secrets, thinking of fun.
A happy soul, she shares it with glee;
Positive thoughts, changing me.
Hope is on the horizon, look up to the sun;
Shadows paint a pathway, over where she has run.
Beauty is in her heartbeat, shining afar;
Smiles last forever, and wherever you are.
She is a miracle, a symbol of life;
Forgotten are her days, of trouble and strife.
Her life has moved on, she dances alive;
Dreams in her soul, love in her heart does thrive.

Sometimes I feel like I could just explode with excitement and happiness and yesterday (05.01.13) was one of those days. Â So I grabbed a pen and paper wrote the following poem (well 8 in a row actually). Â Embrace life and all of its adventure, even in the toughest of tough times, there is great learning to be had. Â Open your arms to the world, live this life for you and nobody else. Â Have fun, dance in the moment and be brave in all that you do. Â May your day be filled with love and laughter. Â Much love to you Clarabelle.
Life is an Adventure
There’s fun in my heart, waiting to escape;
The invisible boundaries, cover it with red tape.
I’m bursting with song, love and laughter;
I’m on the move, towards happy ever after.
As I free my spirit, I wake up to the light;
The orange bird dances, wings spread in full flight.
Nothing seems real, imagination is high;
The past is forgotten, don’t ask why.
Discover, explore, all that’s in you;
Life is an adventure, make it come true.
Poem created by Clarabelle on 5 January 2013
Sometimes when I look into someone’s eyes, I just know if their soul is truly enlightened with love. Â I know they want to be really happy and maybe look happy on the outside but the window to their soul never lies, it’s all about the inside. Â I experienced that recently with someone and decided to write this poem for them and send it to them. Â I hope you like it. Â May your soul be filled with love and light today. Â Much love to you Clarabelle.
“Love is Free-Flowing”
I see in your eyes, no light or love;
Dead in the moment, but the rainbow is above.
You attract what you become, not just what you’ve got;
Love is free-flowing, and cannot be bought.
It’s nice to have freedom, choice and dreams;
But to enjoy it alone, bursts a heart at the seams.
Change your direction, take your soul along the path;
There you’ll meet true beauty, and with faith, your other half.
For sometimes we look so hard, and still cannot see;
Sometimes the ‘law of attraction’, works mysteriously.
It’s not in ‘the secret’, or a special treasure box;
It’s not hidden in a cave, or where the wishing well talks.
It’s found in your spirit, and blooms in the sunlight;
It brightens up your mood, full of happiness and delight.
Your paradise of love, will always find a way;
Seek truth in each moment, and loves light will shine on you today.

Life can be really really tough sometimes, it can throw you curve ball after curve ball, whilst you’re climbing up the highest mountain, in the toughest terrain and then just when you think you’re getting somewhere, down comes the avalanche!! Â You may not realise it, but this is where the lighting strikes, this is where the miracle happens….saturated in doubts and drenched in tears, your heart and soul gets to work and creates a special magic inside of you, which reaches out and touches the stars. Â When you feel the deepest pain, believe me, it’s the start of your healing. How do I know?……I’ve been there. Â The New Year is just around the corner, there is life after 2012, I see it is so very special for you, full of love and abundance. My inner calling told me to share this with you today…….sometimes we all need a helping hand – listen to the whispers of your heart, for they only speak truth to you. Â Much love to you today, Clarabelle.
There’s a Champion in YOU!!
Your light shines brighter, in the dark,
Your heart beats stronger, but leaves no mark.
The soul reconnects, to all of you,
The mountain climb, is in full view.
Pause for a second, feel the calmness in the air,
Your inner being, has much love to share.
The battle ain’t over, but YOU will win,
Believe it and see it, hold up that chin.
Because sometimes we fall, and keep on falling,
Tumbling down the hill, away from our calling.
***
But where you land, is the start of your healing,
Disguised in your tears, and in the pain you are feeling.
Nothing feels worse, but please trust, in what I say,
As you freeze in the moment, in the heat of the day.
You are a miracle, you are the one,
That can move any mountain, your journey has begun.
For inside your being, a bright flame does glow,
The tougher life gets, the more it does grow.
The eyes cannot see it, as the mind struggles on,
But it’s burning down the virus, until it’s all gone.
Don’t shut out these whispers, have faith, they are true,
Keep going, my friend, there’s a champion in YOU!!

I’ve been feeling alot of love in the air recently, it’s everywhere around me, it’s abundant, I know I don’t need to search for it, it is always there and you have it within and around you too. Â In the silence of my heart I drew a picture of love, which then led me on to writing this next poem about love, and I share it with you today. Â Much love to you Clarabelle.
 Love is . . . . .
Love is the fresh air, on my face,
Love is the energy, in this place.
Love can move mountains, travel in time,
Love is a symbol, that’s truly sublime.
***
Love is creation, with all your heart,
Love’s bond is unique, and can’t be broken apart.
Love is truth, and calmness in sea,
Love stops wars, and frustrations in me.
***
Love is free-flowing, and beauty at its best,
Love is mother-nature, putting us to test.
Love is the stars, moon and the sun,
Love is where we belong, love is everyone.
***
Love is me, and love is you,
Love is wholesome, and vibrates in all you do.
Love is the answer, love is the song,
Love just “is”, and has no right or wrong.
***
Love is the journey, and the destination in one,
Love is magnetic, love is pure fun.
Love is in your eyes, and in your precious smile,
Love is your radiance, shining mile after after.
***
Love is joy, and peace from within,
Love is happiness, and the air you breathe in.
Love is the universe, the future of time,
Love is abundant, love is divine.

Lately I have been noticing that things have been going my way, such as green traffic lights, people going out of their way to help me, smiles from strangers on the street, unexpected gifts, getting treated to lunch and receiving beautiful thank you notes. Â I am so so so grateful for the abundance that is in my life right now and I am even more grateful that I am aware of it. Â Stop for a moment today and think of 3 small things you are grateful for in your life right now, I know it will make you feel good. Â Lots of love Clarabelle
Green is for Go
Green is for go, I see it everywhere,
Moving me forward, it’s so special and rare.
The key to the door, the answer to my prayers,
The blossoming of the flower, uncovering deep layers.
The sparkle in the sky, the smile on the street,
An abundance of joy, dancing in my feet.
The seasons have changed, a new freshness is in the air,
Autumn leaves fall, and softly touch my hair.
I’m switched on to life, glowing at night,
Such a beautiful opening, I’m now in full flight.
