To all the “tryers” out there – I love you for it.
If you try and KEEP GOING, you’ll eventually get somewhere, but if you try and then stop trying, you’ll only go backwards.
Just like a beautiful flower, you are meant to flourish and blossom. Look to nature, to be your guide. Nature always yearns to grow, to dig deeper roots, to bloom and bear fruits. It’s your duty to personally develop and move yourself forward.
To thrive is a forever gift.
Do all you can to enhance and nurture your natural talents and you’ll evolve in this world.
Your untapped potential is eager to be set free.
Let the best of you flow out and it will find a way to connect and light up.
Your positive energy is more powerful than the sun.
Your inner glow shines brighter than the stars.
You are a sweet miracle.
Believe you have what it takes to dream it and do it.
Don’t wait for the opportunity, seek what you deserve – the BEST!
Think about the things you truly love doing and have a deep connection to. How does being immersed in these interests make you feel?
You want to be involved in activities that make you feel alive.
Do things that align with your soul.
Make time for you, the real you.
Peace of heart and tranquility of mind are fully embodied, when you dance to the tune of your bliss.
Happiness is a feeling that can be tapped into at any moment of your day.
If you think happy things, you cannot be sad – read that one again!
Therefore, the power of your self-happiness is just a happy thought away.
Happy thoughts, create happy feelings, which then lead to doing things that make you feel even more happier.
The happy thought comes first, but it’s the happy ‘feeling’ that ignites the positive action.

When I was heavily into my coaching, believe me, I studied this field constantly. I read countless books on everything related to self-mastery.
I not only shared it with my coachees but I applied all the learnings to myself. I had to test it out before sharing it.
This type of brain work takes a lot of practice – I mean MASSIVE amounts.
Basically, you have to reprogramme your mind to new thinking, and the old programne that’s been running for many years, does not want to budge. It is rigid, stuck, locked in, set in stone….but not impossible to change.
I know this stuff inside out and even I find it extremely difficult to master. I’ve been practising this daily since 2008. Yes, 16 years trying to reprogramme my mind.
I believe this new thinking, is growing strong roots and the fruits of this are starting to blossom.
It takes daily effort, increased self-awareness, strong self-belief and a deep knowing that true transformation is taking place.
At times, and especially at the beginning of this change process, your mind is going to be exhausted. It will take up so much of your mental energy, because your brain is creating a new set of neural pathways. I’m not going to go that deep into it, but if you are interested in reading more on how the brain can change, read books on the subject of neuroplasticity – FASCINATING!
I believe the body is self-healing. How can something so perfectly formed, not have internal intelligence to heal?
I know you have more self-power than you can ever imagine.
I believe, we are super human beings, who haven’t yet fully discovered how to tap into our genius.
Your greatest potential is waiting to be unleashed – don’t fight it – let it out.
You are truly remarkable in every sense of the word.
Believe in you.
Believe in your capabilities.
Believe only magnificence lies before you.
Give yourself that gift – watch the short video I created below. 💛
This morning I awakened to the beautiful sound of rain outside.
I was so ready to be refreshed by the rain – I love it!
I remember as a young child wanting to play in the rain, when others would hide indoors.
I was the little girl who chaotically jumped in and out of the puddles, singing and dancing to my heart’s content.
Splish, splosh, splash – it was so much fun!
I am super excited to go out a walk today in the rain – I find it truly envigorating.
I do enjoy the sunshine too, but I’m not a fan of it whilst living in London City Centre.
On a hot summer’s day here in London, it can get very humid, with stuffy vehicle polluted air, smelly outdoor bins and stenching drains. Sorry, not my dream environment.
That’s why I welcome the pretty rain here today. It cools the air, clears away city pollution and washes the bins and drains. A total big city cleanse!
I’ve got my huge umbrella on standby and I’m getting ready to rock in the rain!
In the past, when I was training for marathons, I would get crazy excited about running in the torrential rain, frosty mornings, high winds and even snow blizzards. When it was sunny, I never looked forward to running.
I guess you could say I’m a true Scottish lass through in through – welcoming four seasons in one day!
No matter the weather, be grateful for your beautiful presence in this day. For come rain or shine, life is for abundantly living and dreams are waiting to be achieved.
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!

Believing before seeing does work and I am living proof of that, but I know it is not easy to practice this.
In order to achieve this, you’ve got to focus on the ‘feeling’ of having achieved that thing you want.
I especially have been more aligned to this set up in the last few weeks and I am starting to notice some miracle outcomes.
I produced a greetings card many years ago, based on this concept. It’s entitled, “Feel Happy”.
Remember, focus on the ‘feeling’ with ease and happiness and let go of any negative thoughts that creep in.
You are here to live your best life and that’s where your focus should be.
My favourite person to learn from on this subject is Esther Hicks – I listen to her teachings daily and it helps to keep my ‘believing’ mindset strong.
There are many paths to greatness that will work for you and it’s important you do what works best for you.
Great things are coming for you and I know that because you are here and we are aligned.
Seek the beauty in each day – it’s all there for you.
Giving is an ultimate part of living. We all grow in different ways but a better way to flourish is my giving yourself to others in a purposeful and meaningful way.
Give a little of your time, love, service and knowledge and you will surely blossom like a beautiful flower under the brightest sun.
Giving is living and growing is showing that everyday.
Hello wonderful you! It’s Youtube Tuesday and today’s original video poem is all about giving yourself a chance at achieving your dreams. Stay focussed, stay strong and keep going my friend.
May today’s video inspire you to do greater things for you. GET GOING, BELIEVE!
Take a Chance
Take a chance, on living your dream. Put in the effort, and feel supreme. Capture the spirit, from inside of you. Be determined, be open, to follow through. Your champion heart, will help you achieve. This one’s for you, get going, believe.
A very warm welcome to wonderful you. It’s Youtube Tuesday and today’s original video poem is all about bouncing back after a fall. I have always said, resilience is built in the bouncing back, not when everything is running smoothly.
Hopefully, today’s video will help to motivate and inspire you to KEEP GOING. There will always be challenges, but you are much GREATER than any challenge that comes your way – remember that.
Where Do I Fall
Where do I fall, if not at my feet? What keeps me going, after defeat? A focused forever, of what I am. A determined spirit, of “Yes I Can”. For a winning heart, is a champion mind. My faith is amazing, it is one of a kind.
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.

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.
Do you know what it takes from you to reach your highest potential?
Do you know what you exactly want from life?
Do you know where you want to see yourself in 2-5 years from now?
Do you know what your core values are and if you are aligned with them right now?
Do you know the special qualities that you bring to the table and how to make sure you are utilising them as best you can?
Do you know how to unleash the greatest parts of you, so that you can contribute effectively to your dreams, goals and aspirations?
Now, turn each “do you know” question into “what will it take”; “what do I want” “what are my”……
It’s important that you DO KNOW the answer to these questions and it is more important that if you want to achieve these desires for yourself, that you take committed action on a daily basis to make them happen.
Hold yourself accountable and drive yourself forward into your dreams.
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.

There are times in life when you just want to be lazy, actually sometimes you don’t even realise you’re being a little bit lazy until you really think about it. Now I wouldn’t describe myself as lazy, probably the complete opposite, however sometimes this “lazy moment” feeling does hit me. Today I felt the “lazy feeling” creep up on me so I had to immediately do something about it because for me the less I do the lazier I get.
“I ain’t having that”, I said to myself, so I forced myself out of my comfy cosy bed, put on the running gear and reluctantly (at first) headed out for a run. One hour later and I had a nice little 10k run under my belt. There was no stopping me after that – but I had to move to be more motivated!!
So next time you’re in Mr or Mrs Lazy Mode, push past the comfort zone and force yourself to “get going and get doing”. Move and be motivated to change it up a little, whatever that is for you, but just get doing. The world won’t wait on you to get moving, you have to hold yourself accountable for that one.
Sometimes we all go through those “I don’t feel like it” stages, you know, the “I just can’t be bothered” feeling. Yes, I’ve been there and worn the t-shirt!! There is a cure for feeling like this and basically all you have do to when you don’t feeling like doing something, is JUST DO IT. Yes, force yourself past the thought of feeling negatively about the event/situation or whatever it is you don’t feel like doing and yes, I’ll say it again, JUST YOU DO IT. Doing it is the magical medicine that can turn those feelings around, but you know what, you’ve just got to do it.
So next time you hear yourself saying, “I’m not going, I just don’t feel like it”, push yourself past that feeling and go and do that very thing and that’s your miracle cure right there for feeling instantly better. You won’t know until you get there, but you will definitely be glad that you did it.
Words that uplift,
aiming to inspire.
Encouraging your heart,
Fulfilling your desire.
Moments of the soul,
Happiness all around.
Feeling so empowered,
Touching and profound.
Write them in a letter,
Show them that you care.
The alphabet of motivation,
Takes you from here to there.
Are you in need of someone well deserved Motivation today? Well, I may just have the answer for you.
If you have a spare 5 minutes and you think your heart deserves some inspiration, then please listen to the audio Motivational Speech below. The speech was written by moi (Clarabelle) and I got a professional voice over artist from America to bring it more to life. I think he did an amazing job.
The title of the Motivational Speech is “Who Are You?” and eventually I will have a wonderful motivational video to go along with this speech.
I admire you for listening to this, I am so grateful for that.
On the pathway to your dreams you are most certainly going to have to get over some rough patches. There may be a cluster of them all at once or more sporadic than that, over a lengthier period of time, but regardless they will be there, eager to put you to the challenge.
Are you up for the challenge? I surely am, it’s only a “rough patch”, how rough can it get?
Like stormy waters or a rocky road, these challenges make your adventure even more worthwhile because there are many lessons in these hidden bumps.
See if you can change your perception towards the rough patches of life, see them as part of the mystery, as part of the muscle building process for your inner strength. These so called rough patches, strengthen your character and prepare you for the mountain ahead. How big is your mountain? You see, I reckon if it’s not big enough, if it’s not scary enough, then you need a bigger, much higher mountain to climb and that means a bigger more ambitious vision for yourself.
My mountain climb is scary but scary in a good way, the challenge excites me and I see myself, ALWAYS getting to the top…..I am happiest climbing the mountain, especially when I look back and see how far I have come – wow did I really make that journey?
WOW yourself today with your big mountain climb challenge, go on, I dare you!!
A little bit of motivation goes a long long way. I love anything motivational and inspirational, so much so that I’ve got to get my daily fix. I usually listen to 1-2 hours of motivational stuff when I wake up in the morning and then often listen to more throughout the day when I can. Below is a list of just some of my favourite motivational and inspirational people:
Les Brown
Tony Robbins
Jim Rohn
Wayne Dyer
Abraham Hicks
Will Smith
Oprah Winfrey
Louise Hay
Rhonda Byrne
Ralph Smart
Burt Goldman
Deepak Chopra
Bill Crawford
Super Focused
This helps me to stay super focused on developing myself in order to achieve my goals and dreams in life. This journey of life can mess with your heart and mind sometimes – if you let it, so I believe it’s always good to have a mechanism or process that works for you to get you “back on track”.
My original music and poetry comes from a peaceful place in my heart and soul and I would definitely say that “hanging around” everyday with the above inspirational people has certainly helped me to achieve that and believe in myself.
So get yourself on to YouTube today and check these guys out because I know if you listen to what they have to say it will inspire you for the rest of your life.
Keep going my friends…..keep going…..keep going….and be grateful for what you have along the way.
