I am thinking about my happy childhood today, so I decide to take a snapshot memory from one of these true moments and share it with you today. Release the child inside of you, just for a moment, just for today, be that child once more, it feels so loving and carefree. Lots of love, Clarabelle.
My Soul is Free
I am 8 years old, I am playing in the swing park and look up to the pretty red sky on a sweet summers night. I see a million lights sparkling in the distance, like the most precious jewels I have ever seen, they mesmerize me. It feels like I am in a hypnotic state, my heart feels happy, my soul is free, I dream, I visualise my future….
“I’ll be there one day”, I say;
Where?….
Here, right now, I can be there any moment of any day, for my childlike imagination, can take me there. Whenever I want to go there and without physical travel, I can instantly be there.
Where is there?
There is “Happiness” my friend, Happiness is my home and my heart has always lived there.
When someone close to us dies, often prayer can help us to see through each day until we become strong again and are ready to face the world. I wrote this prayer after hearing about the loss of a friend’s loved one, I hope its sentiment brings strength to anyone who is going through this deep sadness at this time in their life. Love to you Clarabelle.
prayer for the loss of a loved one
Prayer for the Loss of a Loved One
Dear God,
I pray that my loved one, is now held gently in your loving arms.
May their soul now be free and abundant with love and light.
Let their happy loving spirit, shine and guide us here on earth.
I pray that my close family and friends, remain strong for each other.
May we continue to be blessed with your loving presence, every moment of every day.
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!! 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. When you feel the deepest pain, believe me, it’s the start of your healing. How do I know?……I’ve been there. 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. Much love to you today, Clarabelle.
New Year 2013
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 have been reflecting today on the wonderful close friends I have in my life, some of them I have known for over 30 years of my life and others for about one year. Regardless of the length of time I have known them, each and everyone of them is very special to me, their support is second to none and just talking to them instantly uplifts my spirits to another dimension. This poem is dedicated to my dearest friends, Donna, Sharon, Richard, Debbie and Dagmar, I shall champion you forever, thank you for all that you give me and much more. May I encourage you to let your friends know how truly special they are to you.
Friendship has true meaning, a simple gifted treasure,
When you’re feeling a little stuck, or need a partner for your leisure.
A real friend will be there, always just for you,
Holding your hand, to help you see tough times through.
An empathetic listening ear, gentle hug or warm smile,
A forever empowering note, that goes the extra mile.
Friendship is so sweet, like sugar in your tea,
Friends separate from the ‘I’ and turn it into ‘We’.
Friendship is the gift, of endearment and inner strength,
To support you indeed, friends will go to arms length.
Today I reflect on my friends, who are so very dear,
Like beautiful guardian angels, they bring me good cheer.
So wherever your dreams take you, please remember to tell,
Your friends that they are magical, like an enchanting wishing well.
Happy are their hearts, that shine upon you,
The closest of connections, without needing any glue.
Now we share the laughter, and hopes for all time,
I have friends in a million, I’d give them my last dime.
So often we forget ,the joy they bring each day,
Thank you my closest friends, in my heart for you I pray.

Have you ever had a friend that you lost touch with for a few years and then all of a sudden and out of the blue, they contact you to say ‘hello’. This happened to me the other day and although it was unexpected at that time, I somehow always believed that I would hear their call, I just had to give it time. Rather than trying to catch the butterfly, give it the time it needs and then it will come and sit on your shoulder. May your day be filled with beautiful butterfly moments. Lots of love Clarabelle.
The Stars Come Out To Play
He said ‘hello’ today, on his own,
No prompt from me, when I felt alone.
It’s taken 5 years, to melt the ice,
Because a broken heart, does not feel nice.
Letting go of emotions, frees me from pain,
I’ve learned a hard lesson, not to do that again.
So I’ll take this step forward, detached from it all,
The flame is still flickering, and burns down the paper wall.
I don’t hold on to hope, or feel any fear,
It is what it is, this moment is here.
I cherish the movement, as the stars come out to play,
And the moon masters the night sky, at the end of the day.
I wanted to make up a poem for my friend who has recently celebrated her 60th birthday. She absolutely loves the colour yellow and every time I visit her house it is surrounded by the beautiful brightness of this sunshine colour. May your day be filled with the magical joy and enlightenment of sunshine yellow. Lots of love Clarabelle
Sunshine Yellow
Young at heart, that’s certainly you,
Effervescent, in all that you do.
Love is abundant, in your magical soul,
Life’s energy surrounds you, fulfilling and whole.
This was my first poem posted here on this blog in April this year, now that I have many more blog followers I thought I would reblog some of my favourite postings. I hope you enjoy. Have a beautifully inspired day. Lots of love Clarabelle
I was inspired to write the following poem after spending some time with a new friend in my life, his spirit was very refreshing and his soul was very honest and true. I sensed he was coming from a good place and it was that real connection with him that led me to write ‘Superhero’.
Often we go through life and we forget how influential our closest family members have been in our life. This poem is a heartfelt sentiment to my wonderful and beautiful younger sister,who through the highs and lows of my life has always been there for me. Thank you Leanne, you are so very special to me, more than you’ll ever know.
Sister Dear Sister
When we were young sis, we always used to fight
Early in the morning and mostly every night
I didn’t really appreciate back then, the special person in you
I now recognise that failing, so evident and true
But as we got older, I changed my poor sisterly ways
You became a best friend and we went on holidays
I love you my dear sister, you are so special to me
More than you’ll ever know, more than I let you see
I always feel so happy, when you are around
You cheer up the room, lots of laughter is your sound
And always when I need you, to my door you come a knocking
There with open arms and then we do some talking
You laugh at your own jokes and I find that very funny
Your spirit is so alive and your attitude is always sunny
Sister dear sister, you’ve made my life so great
I couldn’t ask for a better sister, 10 out of 10 you rate

This poem ‘You are the King’ is written about my good friend who lives thousands of miles away from me and although we have actually never met in person, we continue to communicate regularly through the internet. We have helped each other through tough times over the last year and this poem celebrates our brotherly, sisterly bond and growing friendship.
You are the King
We are miles apart but I feel close to you
A special connection between us two
Through challenging times, we helped each other
Our friendship grew stronger, like sister and brother
You are highly intelligent, with dark handsome looks
We chatted for hours and discussed inspiring books
I learned so much, in a short space of time
Uncovering raw moments, your soul it touched mine
In this crazy world, there is one law that’s true
The Law of Attraction, brought me to you
And in this dimension, new beginnings took place
Rekindling self-awareness, that showed your real face
Leonardo, Leonardo, you are the King
When I hear your smooth voice, my heart it does sing
And at the edge of the pier, I look out to the sun
The horizon is honest, where we meet everyone
Sunshine smiles, love and laughter
Our worlds did meet……I wish you happy ever after

This poem was requested by a wonderful gentleman whose beautiful dog ‘Chuck’ sadly passed away recently. The poetic words capture the true essence of Chuck in every sense of the word and highlight the special bond between Chuck and his owner. Chuck’s spirit and vitality continues to live on in the hearts of the people he touched in his local community.
Chuck you are so special to me, and although you can’t be here
You’re forever in my heart, every moment throughout the year
We had the strongest bond, together we were one
Your caring ways were captured, in your playfulness and fun
Never have I had, such a best friend like you
As my protector and guardian, your bravery did shine through
And even though your presence, is missed each and every day
I know that you are watching over me, in a loving kind of way
A companion in a million, nothing will take your place
My soul it smiles inside, when I look at your happy face
Your memory will last forever, in me your spirit lives on
It fills my heart with happiness, even though you are gone
Chuck you were just like my shadow, always by my side
And every time I think of you, my heart fills up with pride
