Perpetual Beauty

Breathe in this energy-giving sunlight

March 1, 2023March 1, 2023 ClaireLeave a comment

You have access to this kind of perpetual beauty everyday.

The sun never fails to rise and set and we have that daily opportunity to enjoy its mesmerising energy and light of hope.

The sun exudes a special glow that hynotises the heart and soul. I dare you not to be breathtakingly inspired by its magical powers.

Life brings us the perfection of these gifts everyday and more often than not, we unintentionally dismiss them.

Promise yourself to breathe in this energy-giving sunlight before the darkness of the day falls upon you.

I’m captured, are you?

Alignment

You are extra special

February 19, 2023 ClaireLeave a comment

Stay aligned to your core values and your path will appear.

There are times in our lives when we can feel lost and you must know, this can be a very normal thing.

In times like these, allow your core values to be your inner guide. By doing this, you will never take a wrong path.

Know who you are and what you stand for, then take baby steps towards staying aligned to your true self.

Know that you are extra special in each and everyway.

Mountains of Hope

The matrix of love

January 28, 2023 ClaireLeave a comment

Enchanted by life,
in awe of its beauty,
mountains of hope,
daring and duty.

Challenger clouds,
soulful and misty,
breathe deep truth,
collectively risky.

The matrix of love,
operates with time,
subconsciously giving,
rythym and rhyme.

As memories fade,
beyond the black hole,
nothing is everything,
let the dice roll.

Poetry Corner #16 – Sweet Sunrise Sublime

Awakening the world

November 17, 2022November 14, 2022 ClaireLeave a comment

My favourite time of day to write poems is very early in the morning or very late at night – when everything is much quieter around me.

I often dream of sitting in my ideal beach house writing poems on the ocean view balcony, whilst watching the sunrise or sunset – I plan to be doing this sometime in the future.

I therefore dedicate today’s poem to the dreams of tomorrow that I visualise today and what a wonderful feeling it truly is.

SWEET SUNRISE SUBLIME

The sun it rises,
glistening so bright,
it patiently waited,
goodbye to goodnight.

It’s warmth is tender,
a magical glow,
out to the horizon,
blue ocean below.

I stare at it softly,
with hypnotic eyes,
how blessed I am,
an amazing sunrise.

It gives me energy,
feelings of delight,
awakening the world,
happy and bright.

Thank you dear sunrise,
you make me feel good,
a whole day with you,
uplifts every mood.

No matter the weather,
you always shine
blue skies or rainbows,
sweet sunrise sublime.

Because You Shine

I am here because you shine

July 21, 2022July 21, 2022 ClaireLeave a comment

I closed my eyes and walked into the light.

There I met an older and much wiser woman.

She smiled at me.

She held a beautiful azure blue flower in her hand.

She took my hand and placed the flower in it.

Without any words, she gave me this message…..

Your magical heart can make the invisible visible.
I am here because you shine.
The blue of this flower represents the ocean and the sky.
The petals represent the fragility of life.
The wonder is not in the flower.
The miracle is in you.

The old lady then disappeared.

The flower turned into tiny little seeds in the palm of my hand.

I then knew, it was time to self-nurture and grow.

Light Comes Back

stars appear

July 16, 2022July 16, 2022 ClaireLeave a comment

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.”

What is…..?

a miracle glowing

November 1, 2021 ClaireLeave a comment

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.

When You Lose a Life

missing their touch

October 24, 2021 ClaireLeave a comment

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.

Self Love Prayer

October 4, 2015October 4, 2015 ClaireLeave a comment

Share your love with all of life’s energies…..

Clarabelle

After I finished reading the book, The Path to Love by Deepak Chopra, I created the following ‘self love prayer’ from the teachings within this book. I share this prayer with you today. May your activities today ignite your spirit and fill your soul. Love Clarabelle.

Self Love Prayer

Dear God, I love you.

Thank you for giving me the gift of spirit and self love.

I pray that today brings me closer to thyself, my inner being.

I pray that my heart remains whole, true and abundant with love.

Let my actions of today uplift my soul and open my spirit,

Allowing me to freely share my love with all of life’s energies.

Amen.

Beautiful Dreams…..

October 13, 2013October 13, 2013 Claire6 Comments

Schoenstatt

Below is a photograph of one of my most favourite places to visit. This is “The Shrine” at the Schoenstatt Retreat and Pilgrimage Centre in Lennoxtown, Scotland (http://www.schoenstatt.co.uk/). It is less than one hour’s drive from my hometown of Motherwell and I really do feel so blessed to be alive when I visit this stunning place, the setting is so beautiful and tranquil.

“The Shrine”

When I visit, I always make a point of going into “The Shrine” where I light some candles and say some prayers. They also have, what I call, a prayer box, where you write down what you hope and pray for on a piece of paper, also sharing what you will do in return for your prayers being answered and then you place your folded up note in a large urn at the altar of The Shrine. I always connect what is in my heart and soul to the lighting of my candles and the completion of the notes. This is such a beautiful and spiritual process for me, I love it so much.

Inner Peace

I do hope that you get the opportunity one day to visit this beautiful place, hidden amongst the tranquility of nature, where you will leave with the most calming sense of inner peace living and breathing inside of you.

The Spirit of an Angel

October 4, 2013 Claire5 Comments

Below is another video poem for you, I remember when I created this poem, it was after I came back from a run. Whilst out running I passed a group of school children, about 5 years old and they were all so very cute, stopping in line to let me past and smiling and waving at me. I remember thinking that they were all such happy spirits, like the spirit of an angel…..hence the title of the poem. Happy spirits to you today, love Clarabelle.

Crossed Paths

Life Lessons

Every person who comes into your life teaches you a lesson, whether they are in it for a day, a month or a lifetime. Think about the people you have crossed paths with, what did they teach you? You could even flip this question on the other side and ask the person “What did I teach you?“. I don’t mean this in an egotistical way, I mean in a very spiritual way.

From Negative to Positive

Sometimes you never really know the real difference you make to a person’s life until they actually tell you. I know there is a person out there who you have inspired, motivated, shared true wisdom with, really helped them by listening to them with empathy, boosted their self-esteem and confidence, helped them to become more authentic to themselves and helped them to listen to their heart and change their thoughts from negative to positive.

Think about this today, what did another person teach you or what did you teach another person?

Sometimes we are oblivious to the beautiful lessons around us, until we stop, think and reflect on them. Maybe it’s now time to reflect upon that. 🙂

Wishing you a day filled with positive thoughts, love Clarabelle.

July – Question of the Month

June 30, 2013 Claire12 Comments

Sunshine

Welcome to the first day of July. At the beginning of each month I give you a question to ponder and answer for yourself, I also share my own answer with you. Below is July’s question for you:

Question:

What one thing could you do today, that would make a positive difference to your life right now?

My Answer:

I know that when I pray for myself and for others it always makes me feel better and I do feel that my prayers are always answered. Before I say my prayers I say “Thank you” for listening and at the end of my prayers I say “Thank you” for answering my prayers. So this month I will start and end each day with a prayer to help me and others stay strong, focused and committed on the journey of our life purpose. What is my life purpose? Well it would take a long time for me to answer that one, but let’s just say that this blog is definitely a massive part of that.

Thank you for dropping by today and I hope this question helps you to think about what you need/want to do in your life to make positive changes happen for you.

Much love to you today, Clarabelle
