Calm After The Storm

Live in peace and love

I know the popular saying is, “calm before the storm” but today, I experience “calm after the storm“.

Today is blue skies and bright sunshine and yesterday was crazy chaos – oh what a difference a day makes!

This metaphor of life aligns perfectly with the ups and downs each of us face – good days…bad days…they come and go like clouds drifting by.

If it’s stormy for you right now, know that better days are coming.

No matter what is going on, on the outside, stay calm and peaceful on the inside.

Your peace of heart and mind matters…always.

May you find the purest tranquility in the core of your being today.

Live in peace and love.

Peace of Mind

Stay precious and true to yourself

Peace of mind enlightens all ~Clarabelle

When you have pure peace of mind and wholeness of heart, your journey enters into a different space – enlightenment.

Stay precious and true to yourself.

Unconditional Love

Stop fighting and start forgiving

Look in the mirror.

See each situation for what it really is.

You.

Your thoughts.

Your life.

Your dreams.

All you.

UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

I let you shatter my dreams
I didn't know any better
Back then
When times were difficult
I let you in
I trusted your voice
Your loud words

But who am I to blame you
You weren't aware
You were doing your best
Your game was hard
You played it well

You nurtured
Helped me grow
Gave me determination
To fight
To lead
To achieve
I love you for that

I'll never understand
Your pain
Your struggle
Your forgotten dreams

I feel your regrets
Silent screams of rage
But they gave you power
A unique inner strength

You are loved
Deeply
Your hurt
Let it go
You can breathe now

If I had to choose again
I'd choose you everytime
No doubts
Easy decision
Unconditional love

~Clarabelle

Stop fighting and start forgiving.

Start loving and start living.

I know you know.

If I Could Find Heaven

Just for one day

If I could find heaven
Just for one day
I'd come say hello
Hold you and pray

If I could find heaven
I'd hug you once more
Tell you I love you
Show my adore

If I could find heaven
How lovely it would be
We'd join hands together
Never breaking free

If I could find heaven
I'd cherish your smile
Sharing sweet memories
Treasure every mile

If I could find heaven
I'd never want to leave
To see you are happy
Releases my grief

If I could find heaven
I'd see your face
So perfect and true
At peace in this place

If I could find heaven
I wouldn't need to go
I know you are with me
The map told me so

~Clarabelle

Love you

Find Your Peace

Find your place of peace

There is so much noise and unnecessary interruption out there; no wonder we find it hard to settle our minds at times.

There is peace in many activities and places – you just have to find it.

I have a favourite coffee place here in London and this lovely space brings me peace, focus and clarity.

I look forward to going there everytime; if I walk in with problems, I come out with solutions. Some of my best blog posts have been written from this coffee spot – just like magic the words dance and flow onto the blank page.

Watching a beautiful sunset or walking on golden sandy beaches also gives me tranquility of mind.

It’s definitely the simple things in life that gives us the greatest joy but we’re often so busy we can’t appreciate them.

I urge you today, to find your place of peace and allow the calmness to wash over you.

Being too busy can be overwhelming and draining.

Make peace with your heart, mind and soul – you will thank yourself for it.

Peace and love to you today.

By the River

there’s magic in the air

Let’s take a morning stroll down by the river…

Richmond Upon Thames

It all served very well for a beautiful day in Richmond Upon Thames recently.

Sunny blue skies

Vibrant green trees

Tranquil waters

Freshest air

Calm ambience

You’re worth all that beauty and more.

Take a meaningful walk of gratitude along the river and soak up nature’s gift.

Take time to know how truly blessed you are and be thankful for the opportunity to experience it.

In this moment now, believe your dreams are a reality and feel those amazing feelings of abundance.

There’s magic in the air – can you feel it?

May your heart shine like the brightest sun….always.

Where is your favourite place to walk?

I Am Grateful

Light of hope

This is one affirmation that can combat any stressful moment because being grateful is THEE moment.

I faithfully say my grateful affirmations every morning and night. I awaken each morning with light of hope and end my day with peace of heart.

I encourage you to carry gratitude with you, as you go about your day.

I am grateful for your presence.

Thank you.

Clarabelle

Alone

The presence of purpose

Alone in thought,
wealthy in wisdom.

There is a wealth of wisdom waiting for you.

Amongst the silence, your truth invades the mind with the presence of purpose.

Exercise some solitude today.

Clarabelle

Grateful Heart

So kind and true

A grateful heart is a happy heart.

A grateful heart is a peaceful heart.

A grateful heart is a blissful heart.

There are so many things in your life to be grateful for. Take a moment each and everyday to be thankful and feel your heart grow.

I am grateful to you for being here.

Clarabelle

Peace of Mind

Honour your peace of mind

Peace of mind is everything.

When you have peace of mind, life feels like it’s meant to be.

Peace of mind gives you a different kind of calmness and flow.

Peace of mind, raises true thought and gives you clarity and purpose.

Peace of mind is absolute and exudes a special inner power in you, like no other.

Honour your peace of mind and you honour everything within you and around you.

Invite peace of mind into your life everyday and life becomes a totally different story.

Clarabelle

Now is Forever

There is no greater presence than now

I want you to really think about the above quote and what it speaks to you.

There is no greater presence than NOW and no greater answer than NOW.

As soon as you become solely aware of this power, a positive internal shift begins to happen.

Time begins to slow down and eventually doesn’t exist. Worries become non-existent and joy becomes more of a priority or just IS.

Life changes thought or thought changes life? – that won’t matter anymore, because your true presence will thrive in natural flow.

You may never get to experience pure reality but one thing is for sure, if you do miss out on this one absolute truth, you truly haven’t lived.

Life doesn’t have to be as complicated as we make it. Calm waters make more impact than stormy seas.

I invite you to ponder in the stillness of life today.

Uplift My Spirits

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?

Light Comes Back

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!

“The midnight sky is vast and black, yet stars appear and light comes back.”

If God Lets Me…..

2.
If God lets me

I'll be a beacon of pure strength
If God lets me
I'll go to any given length 

3.
If God lets me
I'll show him my full power
If God lets me
I'll respect his every hour
If God lets me
I'll take the best right turn
If God lets me
I'll let all worry burn 

4.
If God lets me
I'll give him my all
If God lets me
I'll knock down each brick wall
If God lets me
I'll be happy in present time

5.
If God lets me
I'll forgive and forget
If God lets me
I'll get out of all bad debt
If God lets me
I'll love him like no other
If God lets me
I'll make peace with every brother 

6.
If God lets me
I'll hold my head up high
If God lets me
I'll be truthful and not lie
If God lets me
I'll always sing his song
If God lets me
I'll make right every wrong 

7.
If God lets me
I'll live life to the full
If God lets me
I'll obey his every rule
If God lets me
I'll share the good I know
If God lets me
I'll give all hope a go 

8.
If God lets me
I'll believe in my self-worth
If God lets me
Every wave of life I'll surf
If God lets me
I'll be positive and bright
If God lets me
I'll sleep peacefully each night 

9.
If God lets me
I"ll take my second chance
If God lets me
I'll celebrate and dance
If God lets me
I'll show him I am real
If God lets me
I trust he'll make the deal

When You Lose a Life

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.

A Christmas Prayer

Here is a beautiful Christmas prayer for you. Christmas blessings to you this Christmas time.

A Christmas Prayer

May Christmas bless,
all you are,
People at home
and afar.
May love and warmth,
Be with you,
May all your family,
Be there too.
May good times smile,
on your heart,
May prayers of hope,
Give you a fresh start.
I pray for you,
In candlelight.
I pray for you,
This Christmas night.

Peace in her Heart

peace in her heart

I have a lovely feeling of peace and contentment flowing through my body this morning, I am aware of it and treasure it right now.  I just had to write, here is what came out.  I hope you enjoy.  May your happy spirit touch other hearts today.  Love Clarabelle

Peace in her Heart

She woke up, with peace in her heart today
No inner battles, in her way
The fight has gone, war no more
Everything leads, to the fulfilment door
Now it’s different, now she can see
That an opened heart, will let this be
She knows that her gift, travels afar
She knows that her energy, raises the bar
And as the soft wind blows, contentment plays a tune
Happiness in the air, goodnight Mr Moon
This misty morning, is full of white
She feels its presence, she is the light
Her breath is silent, and simply pure
Because she is so certain, she is so sure
That all her dreams, are alive inside
The vision is here, nothing to hide
For her soul is connected, dancing free
Her spirit is full, of happy energy
But who is, this miracle she?
She can be “he” and she is “me”
