I never understood her songs, until now – the film helped me with that.
I wasn’t a fan of Amy, but I do respect her work and outstanding singing talents. I appreciate her music even more now. She was honest, vulnerable and wholeheartedly emotional in her lyrics – her ability to express this is truly admirable.
The love she wrote about, brought her so much joy and pain at the same time. She loved deeply and a love like that, takes over your whole being. You become the love and that exposes you to so much good and also “wants”. It is in the need of love from others, we give away our power and unbelievable hurt can creep in.
I am not saying love is a bad thing – real love is the greatest thing on earth. I do think however, that self-love comes first, and from that stand point, you attract the best love for you.
No one teaches us in School about the importance of self-love, I guess we rely on our parents for that, but who teaches them?
Many years ago, in my Coaching days, I read a lot of books on self-love, self-confidence, positive thinking, self-sabotage, self-worth, self-esteem…..etc…it helped me to understand myself and understand others.
Stephen R Covey wrote an enlightening book, “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People“. I would totally recommend this book – it will help you navigate through life’s ups and downs, and so much more. I first read it in 2008, but struggled relating to it…..I then read it again one year later and totally got the message. I then blended the learning into my coaching sessions, which proved to be very successful.
The reason, I mention this book by Stephen Covey, is because he talks about “love” in his book – the wisdoms he shares is so deep.
I love, LOVE – at the age of 40 years, I had the word tattooed on my left arm (I now, do not recommend tattoos 😊).
If I want to escape stormy reality, I can easily sink into that “loving feeling”.
To progress in life, always start with honouring thy self-love and build from there.
What if even in your weakest moments, you are someone else’s power, role model and heart of hope?
You see, that’s the kind of unseen power you have. To empower and guide others because they look up to you in some meaningful way.
By knowing that you help more people than you realise, in turn, gives you more self-power.
You can never be weak if you help others, for as they seek strength in you, you gain strength in their growth – it’s a magical two-way cycle.
I met a beautiful human being today, at a moment when I was questionning my own circumstances and she, unknowingly, gave me strength because of her kind ways and happy spirit.
Even the coach needs a coach.
The mentor needs a mentor.
The leader needs a leader.
The teacher needs a teacher.
And the person at the very top of the tree, pulls strength and resilience from their chosen team. No one wins alone – do you hear me?
You’ll never get anywhere in this world alone – that’s a selfish move – and you will always retreat back to “better together” because it really is.
In unity we thrive – read that one again!
Happiness therefore is enjoyed more abundantly, when we are together, giving out love.
A world in complete union, is possible. One smile, one heart, one love.
Fighting creates separation and moves the world backwards. If we are to grow and evolve on this earth, we need to join hands and with a common ground focus.
What are these commonalities:
Love
Joy
Peace
Happiness
Health
Growth
Abundance
Unity
So how do we achieve that, when we are surrounded by wars, hate and selfish leadership ego?
We have to lead with pure love from the bottom up, not the top down.
Love will ALWAYS overpower hate – there is no stronger force.
If the “many” live their lives in love, no matter the external circumstances, the world will begin to change for the better and not before.
I’m not telling you to ignore the horrible fighting that’s going on, because sadly, it’s there and it’s real. I am telling you to change yourself from within. To focus on loving, giving, helping, growing and being a better human being – the compound effect of this is such a powerful, life-giving source. In doing so, these wars will eventually melt away and never return.
Fighting and hating is life-taking and we’re not going that way. We are supposed to be evolving in a much more sustainable and beautiful way.
If we don’t change now – one by one, we run the risk of becoming extinct.
You need to BELIEVE that you hold the POWER to change the world for the better – and it starts with love and kindness.
Be mindful of what I said earlier – “In unity we thrive” and therefore, “In division we die – we ALL die“.
I want you to do one loving thing everyday for the next 100 days. When you do this, your life is GOING TO CHANGE in so many wonderful ways.
The GOOD LIFE comes from doing GOOD THINGS – be mindful of that.
May your day today, be filled with love and kindness.
Your future is so AMAZING, this I know for you.
Love Clarabelle
Please subscribe, like and share – thank you my dearest friend.
I know, it’s early….very early for some people, but I want you to know, my customers have already started to buy in their Christmas Cards from me.
I believe it’s getting earlier every year and I’m not complaining one tiny bit.
Christmas Gift Countdown
The Autumn/Winter season is usually the best selling months for me. October and November goes crazy for my Thanksgiving Cards and October to end December – Christmas Cards sales are hotter than hot!
The festive season can be stressful, overly busy and dare I say it….expensive! I guess some people like to start early to spread the cost over a few months, rather than all the costs coming out of their December pay packet.
I was always the latter…..but trying to improve on that one.
If you’re looking for some family and friendship Christmas Cards, then please do head over to my Amazon Store – fast prime delivery is always available.
I’ve not made any fixed plans for the Christmas holidays at the moment – if I get a huge amount of Christmas Card sales, I’ll defo be jetting off to somewhere super fancy. You’ll know because I’ll blog about it!
I’m officially starting your Christmas Countdown – please don’t hate me for it!
I had the opportunity a few years back to look after a friend’s ten bedroom mansion whilst they set up their new business overseas.
The Beautiful Garden Grounds
I loved that big house, with its perfect private gardens, tranquil vibe and beautiful natural woodland setting.
I treated my time there as a real ‘gift’ and a haven to reset and refresh, before the next chapter in my life.
The house was in a quiet secluded area, so I didn’t meet a lot of people – just the lovely staff who looked after the grounds and cared for the inside of the house.
I was in that big house, often alone but never lonely – I just love my own company and precious quality time to myself.
The Real ‘Ginger’
There was one little extra special friend I made..and that was ‘Ginger’ a gorgeous cute cat who dropped by the house morning, noon and night. Now….up until that point in my life, I was NOT a cat lover….I would say, I was more of a dog person….cats were never my thing….until I fell in love with little Ginger.
I tried not to like Ginger at first….I was selfishly holding onto my “I’m only a dog lover” badge, but thankfully, that didn’t last long.
In my eyes, Ginger became perfect in everyway and we bonded over morning sunrises, summer evening sunsets and lots of saucers of milk!
Ginger was the ‘apple of my eye’,the friend I never wanted, but the true friend I really needed.
My Friend Ginger
I have never loved a cat so much.
When it was time to head back to the big city lights of London, I gave Ginger a tearful farewell and thanked him for making my stay extra memorable.
That was 7 years ago and little Ginger still holds a special place in my heart.
I want you to open your heart to ALL the love that comes your way and remember how blessed you are everyday to experience the beauty and beings of this world.
I believe your ‘Heart Power’ is stronger than any mind power because ‘Heart Power’ is that undeniable, unbreakable chain of love, bonded with your soul.
The real essence of you, is your ‘Heart Power’ – the mind and body are just ways we use to express this.
‘Heart Power’ – you never need to think about, it’s just naturally there, living and breathing within you.
When you truly let your ‘Heart Power’ grow – there are no limits.
It’s my ‘Heart Power’ that speaks with you today.
May your day be fully connected to your own ‘Heart Power’.
Gratitude is so mighty powerful, it can turn a losing mindset into a winning mindset in an instant.
Be thankful for the abundance that surrounds you and enrich yourself in this beauty.
If you are feeling lost right now or need a simple ‘pick me up’, write down what you are thankful for and continue to do this daily. I promise you, this positive practice will abolish any negative self-talk you are having in that moment and empower strong foundations from within.
"I am grateful for my health and abundance all around; I am grateful for the love and real happiness I have found." Clarabelle
A family so special a family so true, Christmas love, is wished for you. One of a kind, we love you so much, such a beautiful family, many hearts you touch.

I tried so hard,
to win your heart,
I gave it my all,
right from the start.
I guess you didn't,
want that too,
I felt your resistance,
through and through.
So I moved on,
then you came back,
for another go,
to get on the right track.
My soul felt heavy,
for this buried hurt,
cannot be separated,
from cold dirt.
I set you free,
to live and learn,
deep true love,
you have to earn.
It takes respect,
trust and forgiving,
loyalty and smiles,
the same joint vision.
Goodbye my precious,
may you find your one,
to my dreams on the horizon
every mile I run.

What is love,
without surprise,
a caring thought,
heartfelt eyes.
What is kindness,
without the giving,
touching lives,
soulful living.
What is forgiveness,
without a prayer,
sharing you,
unique and rare.
What is gratitude,
without the knowing,
a thankful bond,
a miracle glowing.
What is here,
without your presence,
healing time,
your very essence.

Vibrant youth,
bountiful in art,
graceful in nature,
sweet miracle heart.
Oh beautiful flower,
in my soul you do live,
the scent of your life,
forever it gives.
I watch you in awe,
growing so free,
a magical creation,
a wonder to see.
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.

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.
No matter the distance,
No matter how far.
I will always be thinking,
How you are.
Follow your heart,
May it lead you to me.
Under the stars,
You set us free.
And as passion kisses,
The side of your cheek.
Your smiling face,
Makes me go weak.
For love has found us
It searched every door.
Giving you to me,
And me giving you more.
May our future stay strong,
Let it melt all the pain,
For our humbling hearts,
Beat like sunshine in the rain.
Love is such a beautiful thing. Loving what you do, loving yourself, loving your family and friends, loving life, loving your partner, loving and appreciating everything you have in your life right now.
You’ve even got to love your challenging days because they help you build your inner strength muscles and shape your inner character.
Love and gratitude goes hand in hand, I am grateful for what I love and I love what I am grateful for. WOW, I love that statement, so much so I am going to repeat it, here goes, say it out loud with me:
“I am grateful for what I love and I love what I am grateful for.”
This for me is a beautiful daily prayer and inspirational affirmation that I believe aligns you to your greatest self……
In the cold winter nights,
You breathe warmth into me.
Under the summer sun,
You set my spirit free.
In the first bloom of spring,
You make my heart smile,
In the fresh autumn breeze,
We hold hands for a while.
In each of the seasons,
You are there by my side,
Capturing my soul,
With arms open wide.
You are my umbrella,
When the rain does fall,
We dance through the puddles,
And hop over the brick wall.
For life is what we love,
It gives us what we need,
Bonded by our unity,
True love takes the lead.
Forever hearts,
Magical dreams.
A warm spirit,
Happiness gleams.
Truth is alive,
Breathing in the air,
Reflections of hope,
Faith to care.
Know this much,
Believe in me,
Love has returned,
Beautifully carefree.
Listen in the silence,
Breathe in the light.
Sparkling in the morning,
Magic through the night.
Beauty has eyes,
Vision so sweet.
Destined together,
In a loving heartbeat.
