A harmonious vibration that can bring inner peace
In the silence of all silences, there is an answer, there is a truth, there is an untouched soulful grace, filled with pure love and inspiring potential. I believe that each of us have this, we all have that inner ability to take our lives to the next level. At any moment we can tap into this inner source and when you do, it will guide you on a path towards true love, abundance and forever happiness. You see it’s there, it is always there, it is your hidden blessing, your gift of grace that when shared with this world will multiply in such a positively powerful and impactful way. Grace has that special quality, it holds a harmonious vibration that can bring inner peace and tranquillity to another. Grace is one of the purest blessings that we can share with another because it holds such an honest quality that is second to none. This honesty brings with it, freedom of thought within another but in such a purposeful and meaningful way.
When you think of “grace”, what does it mean to you?
What does “grace” look like for you?
What does “grace” feel like for you?
Grace for me, looks like the tranquil open lake where beautiful white swans dance upon its gentle ripples. It’s the only place where your own reflection paints the picture of the real you. The real you which is not perfect but has perfection in its own imperfections. Grace feels like the completeness of one’s soul, sounds like the voice of an angel and feels like a heart filled with love and compassion. Grace fills the ballerina with pure poise, lives in the gentleman’s spirit and breathes clarity into a summer breeze. Grace is the free flowing element that connects each one of us, like a family of the brightest stars.
I believe that the person who lives a life with grace is forever blessed with honour, respect, elegant presence and divine abundance. The beautiful thing is, that the gift of grace is a precious treasure that everyone can choose to exude.
What does “grace” mean to you?

be magnetically attracted to self-success
Turbulent times in life can eat away at your self-esteem but they can also make you super resilient and unbelieveably strong.
I choose tough times to ‘MAKE ME’ rather than, ‘break me’ and I guess, that’s just how I internally respond.
I think it’s the challenge seeker in me and possibly watching too many Rocky films when I was a child! Regardless of any punches that keep coming, I know I will always bounce back – every single time.
So what is it within me that gives me this fighting back spirit? I don’t really know but I do have this absolute determination and robust self-belief that if someone else can succeed at something, then I can too. I never ever look at anyone in ‘awe’ or wish I was them – I have always loved being me. I was never a fan of anyone or anything – I was happiest just being me.
Don’t get me wrong, there were lots of times growing up when I would hold back, be overly self-conscious and under confident BUT I promise you, I never wanted to be anyone else. I have felt fear, rejection, unloved and lost – especially as a young adult but as I put myself out into the world I started to become more ambitious and be magnetically attracted to self-success.
Instead of happily being led, I found myself naturally becoming the LEADER and feeling very comfortable in this role. As I found my own inner greatness, I would encourage and support others to fulfill their own potential too. Even to this day, I constantly see and seek out the BEST in everyone and that thinking gives me the most beautiful joy.
Many people have called me naive, too much of a ‘yes’ person, a people pleaser and a wearer of ‘rose tinted’ glasses. Personally, that doesn’t bother me too much and I don’t think that of me at all. I know my BEST growth has come from being true to me.
Have I gone off track? Yes, lots of times, and the only way I have managed to pull things back on track, is by realigning to my core values – it works every time!
I encourage you to STAND BY YOU and hold your position as strongly as you can, in the field that you want to grow in. Nurture your mind and body with good habits that will serve you well in the now and in the future.
Focus on developing your SELF-LEADERSHIP and CHAMPION every effort you make in order to change your life for the better.
After all. . . . .
It’s Your Life – GO GET IT!

There is so much POWER in our words
What one word best describes you?
Is there actually one word that would encapsulate everything that you’re all about?
Look for your ‘one’ word – can you think of it?
Even under copious amounts of caffiene, I could not think of that ‘one’ word for myself. I don’t actually think that word exists – so maybe I have to create it!
You see, when I challenged you to think of that ‘one’ word, it immediately put limits on your thinking but our thinking needs to be limitless in order to engage and change worlds.
So let’s get a little creative here. I think my newly created ‘one’ word needs to be blended into something so magnificent, you’re never going to forget it.
A bit like the stupendous word “supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” from the famous Disney Movie, Mary Poppins.
There is so much POWER in our words and they can be used for the greatest good or to disempower, so please be very mindful of the words you say to yourself and to others.
I’ve got to say, one of my favourite words is “aspirational” – for some reason, that word seems to “breathe life into me”.
Another word I seem to love is “exponential”. I was first introduced to this word by Broadcaster & Global Keynote Speaker, Rene Carayol at the “The Time is Now” Leadership Conference, held in Glasgow City Centre in 2009.
“Imaginative” another wonderful word that seems to ignite my spirit.
Okay, I need more time to create ‘THEE’ one word but I think you get the moral of the story:
When you add rules, limits and boundaries to your creative thinking, you are boxing up the best of you.
Remember you are a GIFT, so special, that doesn’t need to be boxed up.
Next time you’re in a team meeting trying to come up with an innovative solution or new concept, allow your thinking to flow freely with no barriers in the way.

aim to be more self-confident
I was heading out for my usual outdoor run one day and my friend said to me, “It doesn’t bother you running outside?” I was like, “Why?”. She then explained to me, that she wouldn’t run outside because she would think everyone was looking at her. I shared with her, that gladly that thought didn’t ever come into my mind and even if it did, I would probably think, “Good, maybe I’ll inspire someone to run too!“
Do you see the EMPOWERMENT or DISEMPOWERMENT your mind can have over you?
I want you to THINK about your THINKING and if it serves you well or not.
Think POWERFUL thoughts that will build you up, not break you down.
Aim to be more SELF-CONFIDENT and less SELF-CONSCIOUS, it will help you to forge forward in life.
And lastly, if you want to run outside but are maybe thinking, “What if everyone is looking at me?” Change that thinking to, “WHAT IF I INSPIRE SOMEONE TO RUN TOO?”
The selfie photo below, is of me recently, just back from my evening run in Hyde Park, London.
I hope I have inspired you to run too!
Have a GREAT one, wonderful you.

take your brain into an information free zone
Your brain, with all its wonderful facets and zillions of neurological connections, really needs to be taken care of.
When my brain hurts and what I really mean is, when it’s tired, exhausted and/or drained – I just know it needs a rest from all the crazy noise and distractions out there.
Your brain is on the go all of the time, doing things like – keeping you safe, helping you learn and supporting your creative imagination.
It’s constantly picking up inner and outer signals to help you function most effectively on a moment to moment basis – no wonder it hurts sometimes.
So next time your amazing brain has moved into overload drive, give it some downtime and fresh space to clear out the clutter and make way for true clarity of thought.
Your brain is a wondrous miracle that enables you to bring out the best of you and helps you to demonstrate your inner magic.
So don’t go popping a paracetemol and hope that all the unwanted head pressure will all go away. Take your brain into an information free zone and let it mingle with absolutely nothing.
Disconnect your brain and give it time to reboot – you’ll most definitely feel like a different person.

you’re worth the wait
Welcome. Poetry Corner is every Thursday! Enjoy these whispering words.
WHERE FREEDOM WALKS
In troubled times,
forbidden glory,
tells doubtful minds,
the untold story.
A trek to find,
that special place,
where freedom walks,
and enters space.
A lonely haven,
or paradise
a risk, a battle,
roll of the dice.
Time is gold,
a rich man said,
you're worth the wait,
a coin for bread.
Silence whispers,
engaging thought,
questions answered,
of how and what?
Think it matters?
Know who cares?
A different you,
the one who dares.

give yourself some well needed ‘breathing space”
Are you craving for some peaceful tranquility in your life right now?
If you’re running around in a frenzy trying to get everything done yesterday, then maybe you do need to slow down a bit.
There is nothing more important than your health and wellbeing, so please, give yourself some well needed, ‘breathing space’.
Your family, friends and work will benefit more in the long run, if you jump off that hamster wheel and take some ‘time out’.
Your head and your heart needs a break from all the noise and unnecessary distractions that pull you in so many different directions. How on earth can you move forward with all that stuff pulling you back.
Make time for yourself to BE YOURSELF – not the angry parent, stressed out boss, frustrated friend or worried workmate.
Just time for you, to focus on YOU!
I bet, even that very thought, seems like bliss.
Remember you are deeply loved, respected and admired by the people in your life – so make sure you bring your best energy when you’re with them and that means a well rested you in advance.
I think your time to recharge is long overdue.
You’ve got this…..always!

run wild, free and happy
When you become free from the limited minds of others, then you will have the ability to face most fears – if not all!
Self-conscious thinking is never going to get you anywhere but stuck and believe me, ‘stuck in the mud”, is not a good look at all.
When you’re thinking and doing becomes boundless, you achieve more and more each and everyday.
When you go from being fearful to saying, “I’m not scared”, you open a whole new world for yourself.
Don’t be a prisoner to your thinking, because none of it is real anyway.
Shift your cellblock mindset to beautiful thoughts of open landscapes, where you run wild, free and happy.
I know where my thoughts would rather be!
Think about your thinking – is it serving you well right now?

BIG THINKERS with a purposeful VISION
I was a Professional Executive Coach for many years and really did do very well in it. I met the most AMAZING leaders, whom I learned so much from. I found similar qualities in the leaders who made the BEST progress and I share below some of these:-
An incredibly ambitious growth mindset;
Deep listeners with a real eagerness to become more self-aware;
A true drive and enthusiasm for positive self-change;
Powerful and fast acting on the implementation
of new ideas and learning;
A desire to become a better leader and to empower others
to see their own leadership capabilities;
An unbelieveable ability to turn things around where needed;
Internally honest and seekers of truth to help them
get out of their own way;
An energetic passion for meaningful results
within themselves and others;
A first class ability to know what needs done and
the onboard accountability for doing it;
Aspirational in their thinking and inspirational in their doing;
BIG THINKERS with a purposeful VISION;
And, let me tell you, this impressive list of leadership qualities goes on and on!
I am proud to say, I worked with the GREATEST in their field and I will never forget how ELATED and ENERGISED we both would feel after a truly progressive coaching session.
If you are in a leadership position and are currently struggling with your current set up or difficult strategic decisions – seek out a recommended professional executive coach or business mentor, who will ignite your inner drive, deeply question your current position and open up your own strategic thinking to achieve the necessary results.
There are an abundance of leadership coaching tools out there, that a highly skilled coach or mentor can share with you, in order to help you progress FAST!
Leaders have a lot of heavy plates spinning, whilst under a tremendous amount of work and personal stress – maybe it’s time to seek out the expertise you need.
Don’t stay stuck and never stay stagnant!
Be THEE Leader!

It’s Your Life – GO GET IT!
Thank YOU for following this blog and supporting the work that I do. My aim is to bring a little bit of sparkle, knowledge, wisdom and positive ‘feel good’ feelings into your life.
We all need some inspiration and encouragement at different times in our life and I do hope that my blog posts help you move forward and forge you into achieving EVERYTHING you truly deserve.
Your dreams are for the taking and I want YOU to really GO FOR IT!
After all . . . . . . . . .
It’s Your Life – GO GET IT!

pick a feasible goal that you really want to achieve
Whenever I want to make a significant change in my life, I give myself a 100 day challenge to make it happen.
I will set the goal in hand, mark the start and end date and then everyday, I just bloody well GO FOR IT!
I have read so many times over and over again that it takes 21 days to break a habit but unfortunately that has never been true for me. I know this, because I have put it to the test many times before. I would be interested to know, has it ever worked for you?
In my opinion if you aim for a really juicy goal that you want to achieve and stay wholeheartedly committed to achieving it – the 100 day rule, gives you more than enough time. I have used this for daily running challenges, healthy eating changes and life-changing career decisions. 100 days, to me, is the PERFECT timeline for making a real positive impact on your life.
So let’s say I start today, 1 August 2022 and set myself a goal to write one blog post everyday for the next 100 days. That means, the 100th day lands on 8 November 2022 and I just know that by that day a HUGE positive impact will be made on my life – for me, it’s almost guaranteed.
You want a new job? Try the 100 day challenge.
You want a new relationship? Do the 100 day challenge.
You want to get fitter? Action the 100 day challenge.
You want to move home? Apply the 100 day challenge.
You want to start a new business? Implement the 100 day challenge.
It even works for training for a marathon – and I’ve run four!
And the goals list goes on……
The key here is, you must be committed to the goal in hand and you must NEVER miss out a day – if you do, give yourself the consequence of needing to start from day 1 again! (But then that wouldn’t be 100 days anymore).
Whatever date you are reading this, pick a feasible goal that you really want to achieve. Mark down the start of your 100 day challenge and highlight your end date – now it’s time, to GET TO WORK!
Are you up for the 100 Day Challenge?
Don’t overthink it – START NOW!
Oh and please let me know how you get on – I want to hear your SUCCESS story, so that it can INSPIRE and MOTIVATE others.
YOU’VE GOT THIS!

you deserve to experience the best of opportunities out there
I can honestly say, I haven’t had the Monday Morning Blues for a good few years now and I never want to have them in the future either.
I remember, in my much younger days, getting these feelings, which often started on the Sunday evening!
I know, most of you can relate to those feelings of ‘dread’ going into a job that, for your own reasons, didn’t feel right.
I made a promise to myself a few years back that if I ever got so low again going into a job, I would sort that stuff out super fast.
Thankfully, I know what I want from a job and how I can utilise my skills and experience to contribute effectively. I also know how I want to be led and empowered to bring my best game to the table on a daily basis.
You have the true capacity and pure potential to achieve everything you want from your work and you are in control of whether you make it or break it.
I believe you deserve to experience the best of opportunities out there, so make sure you bring your ‘A’ game every single time.
There is this great quote by Rumi, “what you seek, is seeking you”, and for me, this quote is a wonderful reminder to never doubt your capabilities and be mindful of the many doors that are open for you – just walk right in.
You got this – always!

happiness will pop in and out of my life
There are many different indicators of where happiness exudes from and I don’t think there is a ‘one size fits’ all.
I think each individual is so extremely complex, wonderful and unique that it would be quite impossible to come up with a general list for this.
There is nothing ‘general’ about being happy – let me explain.
Through different stages of life, my own quest for happiness has been determined by many different factors – mostly, where I am at, what I am doing, where I am going, who I am with and how I am feeling. Some of this stuff can relate to external positioning and material gains and sometimes that kinda stuff did make me ‘kinda’ happy.
However, there is a huge gap here that always feels unfulfiled in terms of ‘happiness’ when I feel out of alignment with my inner values, sense of meaningful contribution and working towards a purposeful vision.
You see ‘happiness’ I think, can never be extended for a ‘forever’ period of time – life just doesn’t work out that way.
I think what we are however looking for, which I feel, is much more powerful than happiness, is finding peace of mind and harmonious balance from within. When this is achieved, it’s like being in ‘flow’ and it offers a real sense of inner freedom that can never be captured.
The older and wiser I get, I realise that happiness will pop in and out of my life, just the same way excitement does and feeling motivated to do something.
If I am searching for ‘me’ in the whole process of life, then it is in the silence of the mind that the best part of me whispers.
Enjoy your happy times, for they are indeed precious, like sparkly, shiny jewels. The real sparkle however, comes from your own inner light, peacefully flowing in the freedom of your heart. Some even call that love.

swim in inspiration
Empowering thoughts,
tell the story,
a mind so strong,
brings love and glory.
Sweet nature's gift
is here to keep,
a heartfelt wave,
blue rivers run deep.
Swim in inspiration,
live by the lake,
the current breathes life,
into each step you take.

to a happier place
Uplift my spirits,
higher than the sun,
guide me through,
all that needs done.
Tell me everything,
I need to hear,
even in silence,
let it be clear.
Sometimes I feel lost,
strange in a way,
not in the crowd,
but bewildered each day.
The path I have chosen,
doesn't feel right,
how did I get here,
without the pure light?
Is there a turning,
to a happier place,
where doing what I love,
fulfils me with grace?
If what I do seek,
is surely seeking me,
maybe this wrong track,
is where I should be?
And what if the rainbow,
is not far away,
and its spectrum of love
guided me to here today?

stars appear
This is one of my favourite original quotes and the excerpt is taking from a short poetic story I wrote many years ago. My plan is to turn the story into a book one day….watch this space!

vibrant throughout
With its twists and turns, and turbulent times, with its happy memories, and sweet sublimes. Life is colour, and vibrant throughout, Life is beautiful, it's all about. With its songs of mercy, and praise in between, with its dance of joy, and what has been. Life is precious, and tender in touch, Life is magical, I love it so much.
this is your call
Do not try to be loved, for that force never wins, opening up your heart, is where attraction begins. Do not try to be wanted, for this wonderful you, is unique and special, for the right person too. Do not try to be liked, for you have it all, talented and beautiful, this is your call. Do not try to be something, you never want to be, always stay you, enjoy being "me".

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

missing their touch
Most of us who have suffered the great loss of a precious loved one, may indeed connect to the following poem. I want you to know that I feel you and I truly understand the deepest hurt losing a loved one can bring.
WHEN YOU LOSE A LIFE
When you lose a life, you loved so much, absence of hugs, missing their touch. You grieve their heart, you once embodied before, many sleepless nights, craving them more. An invisible pain, that never goes away, so lost without them, a hate for each day. No one shares, the hurt in you, life feels numb, purposeless too. But know their presence, lives in your soul, a bond so strong, making you whole. Believe they stand, right by your side, giving you energy, watching with pride. They are your candle, giving you light, they are your blanket, comforting you at night. They listen to your whispers, guide your inner thoughts, solving your problems, untying the knots. So remember their smile, laughter and glow, bringing you solice, when you feel low. Know that their spirit, embraces your love, forever your star, shining from above.

She said, “be brave”.
Today she dreams of what will be her vibrant heart beating free. Her thoughts they shine beneath the sun glowing brightly in everyone. When it was dark in pasts gone by she battled her way she challenged her why. She said "be brave" be the one who strives to make it until it's done. No other path could take her where the heavens opened soul stripped bare. She gives her mind to this cause silence in love kind self-applause. She raised her spirit embraced inner beauty to achieve her purpose she made it her duty. By Clarabelle 19 October 2021
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 🦋

Castaway troubles
live in the light
beauty is being
sunny and bright.
Now is your chance
to forgive and move on
your rainbow of love
awakens a new dawn.
When midnight calls
and dark skies appear
remember your strength
why you are here.
Your future is glowing
shining from your heart
tomorrow brings treasures
but today you must start.

I see you……
I see you, I know you’re watching me, I believe you are listening to every word I whisper, I feel you’re desire for a better you, a better life, a new tomorrow.
But I know you are a little scared, you have fears, but you’re going to be alright, you’re going to be much much better than alright. How do I know this? I just know this, because that’s why you’re here, everyday you visit me and you know it will help you, you know it will help you ease your current pain and you’re gonna make it.
Did you hear me right? Yes, you, YOU, you’re gonna make it, that dream you’ve always wanted to achieve, that burning ambition living inside of you……it’s making its way to your heart, it wants to breathe true life into you, it’s getting ready to take on the world and nothing is going…

Stay strong, because you are….
I have become very aware lately that situations and circumstances that happened in my life approximately 2-7 years ago, are now showing their true purpose. What I mean by that is, some decisions and choices that I made back then, maybe didn’t show any real benefits at the time, however, now their benefits are so obvious and abundant to me, almost 7 years later.
So I guess when Steve Jobs (whom we all know has now sadly passed away) made an inspirational speech to University Graduates, about not being able to connect the dots going forward but you can connect the dots looking back. (extract below)
Extract for Steve Jobs Inspirational Speech
“Again, you can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.”
I guess then, I really do know about that trusted “faith” that everything will work out, that he was talking about. I now get it, I totally get it, I really do understand it, I absolutely connect with what he was saying there.
See each of your choices and decisions in life as a piece of your life jigsaw puzzle. As you connect each piece, sometimes it’s difficult to envision the end result, but I want you to have “faith” that each piece of your jigsaw puzzle of life, is actually exactly in the right place, at the right time……and it may take almost 7 years later to realise the connection.
Bit by bit, piece by piece, step by step, little by little, will take you to your chosen vision.
Stick in there my friend, have faith….always!!
Clarabelle
Shape your world, shape it the way you want it to be, think about that wonderfully inspiring vision of yours, every moment of every day.
See yourself basking in the glory of your achievements, now doesn’t that feel great, isn’t that just the most amazing feeling?
Stay on that high, keep smiling through the challenges, because you will get there my friend, you’ve got to believe that, you’ve got to know and have faith in yourself that you will achieve.
Say yes to your success, YES, shout it out loud, YES, you’ve got it, you’re getting there, make it happen, you’ve got everything to gain.
Shape your world,
Love Clarabelle
“Yes You Can”
3 little words that may inspire you into achieving your greatness.
This day, this moment right now, can be as amazing as you want it to be. What would make this moment, right now, amazing for you?
Now then, I want you to visualise that amazing thing happening right now for you, in this very moment, feel those wonderful, happy feelings…….I believe this amazing thing is coming to you…….rejoice in the blessing of having it in your life right now.
You are amazing, you are.

Take a trip of a lifetime, you know the place you’ve always wanted to go to, plan making that trip now. Even if it takes you 5 years to get there, start planning NOW how you’re going to do it.
Think about how amazing it will be when you get there, see yourself there, having the BEST time of your life, how great does it feel?
Life is made up of experiences, so try your best to have more experiences that take your breath away.
Where do you want to go to?
New York at Christmas Time?
Graceland, to be inspired by the spirit of Elvis?
Route 66, a truly amazing train journey?
San Francisco, to stand close to the Golden Gate Bridge?
Iceland, to watch the stunning Northern Lights?
The snowy Cairngorm Mountains, Scotland?
A luxury world cruise?
Watch the sunset from the top of Table Mountain in Cape Town.
WOW, I bet you’re getting really excited, just thinking about it, I know I am. I have been extremely lucky to have been to some of the above places, inspirational journeys that really did take my breath away.
Start making plans today, I see you there and you are having the BEST time EVER.
Little words of inspiration to move you, love Clarabelle
The Experience
So this year I take on the challenge of running my 4th marathon. I am super excited because the whole journey from start to finish makes me feel so good. There are so many positives from training for and completing a marathon, they actually live inside your heart forever…….they really do. The experience is so amazing and highly emotional (in a good way), that you’ll never forget it.
Love Running
I love running outdoors and I love the challenge of a marathon…..you never get the same experience twice and you find out how strong your heart and mind really is.
Fast Course
This year I am going to try and run the marathon under 5 hours, this will be a tough challenge but Edinburgh is a fast course (so I’m told) and it would be so good to achieve this in my home Country.
So my marathon history to date is:
2007 New York City Marathon, time 5 hours and 1 minute
2010 London Marathon, time 5 hours and 56 minutes
2013 Loch Ness Marathon, time 5 hours and 12 minutes
2015 Edinburgh Marathon, time TBC 🙂
Go on set yourself a goal this year, a real challenge, something that will change your life forever…….fancy doing a marathon?
Keep running towards your dreams.
Love to you, Clarabelle
On the dawn of this New Year, hold your dream vision tight in your mind’s eyes. Stay super focused on achieving what you want in life, and no matter what comes around the corner, keep it together.
I look forward to hearing about all your successes in the coming year.

I was out walking the other day and took the photo below, I just thought the scenery around me was stunning. Beautiful Bonny Scotland, on a winter’s day.
Icy Puddles
Icy puddles,
Reflecting on me.
Frosty edges,
Pure beauty.
Landscape wonders,
Spellbound eyes,
A magical mirror,
Full of surprise.

I spied with my little eye,
Something beginning with me.
I looked at my life,
And discovered the vision I see.
It was colourful and bright,
All I wanted it to be.
Dancing and Smiling forever,
Like waves of gratitude in the sea.
I spied with my little eye,
Something beginning with happy.

My happy heart,
Is calling me,
Into the light.
My loving heart,
Is showing me,
With delight.
My caring heart,
Is giving me,
A warm sunlight.
My joyous heart,
Is inspiring me.
Into the night.
My praying heart,
Is touching me,
In candlelight.
My passionate heart,

This is right.

I love my heart, I love your heart, there are forever hearts out there filled with love for you. Be love, do love, have love.
Hi there, this is a rather more informal blog posting, I was just wondering how you were, are you doing okay out there or maybe you’re doing even better than okay? So, please may I ask you,
How are you today?
I’d like to know more about you. 🙂
Love Clarabelle
PS: I’m happily enjoying a lovely cup of Earl Grey tea at the moment, and it’s, well, just lovely.
I am loved deeply, and my heart knows this.
Fresh air on my face, wind behind my back.
Horizon in the distance, I’m on the right track.
I had indeed a very very beautiful 2. 5 hour walk yesterday in amongst the snowy mountains of the Cairngorms, it was absolutely beautiful and to top it all off I spotted a stunning little doe deer, it was such a lovely surprise. I took a 1 minute video almost 2 hours into my journey. Look at how stunning Bonny Scotland is.
I do hope you feel like this today, I certainly do.
“Swinging from the clouds so high. Dancing with stars in the midnight sky.”
For I am happy, as strong as can be.
I have followed my heart, and this passion frees me.
To you, live happily.
