Go For It
Always do your very best,
and keep a positive mind,
live your life so passionately,
and be the loving kind.
Discover your greatest potential,
in everything you do,
follow your heart’s desire,
and make your dreams come true.
Every day you have a chance,
to work towards your goal,
moment to moment, step by step,
from deep within your soul.
You can do it, face your fears,
and you will achieve,
go for it, make it happen,
and within yourself believe.
Beautiful poetry.
Unwrapping warmly at the touch, I could feel Spring was on its way,
A feeling of passion deeper than between the depths of all the oceans,
Then, there was the love, too;
It would be forthcoming, and into the warm, glutinous moist earth,
Senses mixing intoxicating waves, Power to the strength of inner excitement;
Just wanting our passions and heart to be the the best things about us…
With an eager surging.
To Cheer You Up
When times are getting you down,
and you feel like wearing a frown,
Be grateful for all that you’ve got,
Ask this, “I am grateful for what?”
List 3 things, to cheer you up,
from friends in your life, to the coffee in your cup.
It’s all important, just you wait and see,
that appreciating life, makes you happy.
So think a little different, in this moment now,
to turn around tough times and to make you feel wow.
Inspiring and beautiful words.
There are a myriad of things we’ d love for ourselves; love, clarity of mind, stability in a career, a true friendship, financial success, the list could be endless.
So…..
What is the one thing you would truly love for you, your greatest wish for yourself?
Plant that wish in your heart.
Nuture it…
Water it with desire and positivity, shine the warmth of your love on it. Affirm it several times a day, live it as if it is true.
And wait in anticipation… Watch it grow….
And there will come a day when it is no longer on your list of wishes for self, because it will be your reality, an integral piece of beautiful, amazing you 💗
Very beautiful poem by Laurie.
Love this quote, thank you Tanay Soni.
Be Your Number 1 Fan
Start your day,
in a positive light,
aim for your goals,
as high as a kite.
Cherish each moment,
in your every day,
share your learning,
in a meaningful way.
This is your life,
do all that you can,
to make it your best life,
be your number 1 fan.
Choose the path,
that feels right for you,
there you’ll meet others,
saying “I can do”.
You will attract beauty,
and love on this trail,
driven by your dreams,
let the wind set sail.
In calm and stormy waters,
you will see,
that strength comes from within,
for you and me.
A Scary Goal
I remember,
your words of rhyme,
Desire, intent,
writing in time.
A frazzled heart,
an abandoned soul,
An aspirational victory,
or scary goal?
Like a token of virtue,
patiently waiting,
in the maze of life,
all love, no hating.
Where voices of doubt,
fade in the laughter,
as the clock keeps ticking,
and long gone after.
Where an inch of hope,
surfs your passion,
And silent thoughts,
pray in fashion.
For all you are,
is more than enough,
You can’t hide talent,
when storms are rough.
There you shine,
like never before,
All opportunity welcomes,
your open door.
By Clarabelle
Take A Break
Take could care,
of the person that’s you,
you’ll then shine like a star,
in whatever you do.
Rest when you need it,
just take a break,
recharge the batteries,
before you awake.
Life can be exciting,
but over-stretching too,
your passion will not fade,
it lives inside of you.
Create the space,
the mind deserves,
relax the body,
to build up reserves.
Take a deep breath,
detox the soul,
this self caring change,
will make you feel whole.
Put Yourself Out There
Time after time,
lessons come and lessons go,
let life in,
this is your show.
The waiting game,
slows down the clock,
open the door,
don’t wait for the knock.
A pro-active mind,
is prepared for the now,
planning ahead,
will answer the how.
Discover a new path,
to travel on,
where dreams of hope,
are never gone.
Explore, take charge,
and do what needs done,
put yourself out there,
and the rest will come.
Stay Strong
Life can be tough,
the weather may be rough,
but stay strong,
find the inner strength to carry on.
You are loved, have faith, believe,
you are special, focus and achieve.
One door is closed, but many are ajar,
maximise your potential, you’ll go really far.
The world is on your side,
so fill your heart with pride.
Move on up, inspire your mind,
get ready for change, you’re one of kind.
Some inspiring thoughts on The Alchemist.
I tend to stay away from fiction novels. I can’t visualize what’s happening. I don’t have a very active imagination.
Recently someone recommended Coelho’s The Alchemist. I haven’t been able to put it down. This novel is a masterpiece. Every single page has at least one quote that resonates with me.
How is it that Coelho can create something, where everything he writes is a quote? I don’t think anyone is quoting us anytime soon.
Quotes can be incredibly powerful for our lives. They are able to inspire, change, and challenge us.
They’re able to make us garner all our energy toward a singular goal. They’re able to make us fight for something we believe in.
“There is only one way to learn. It’s through action. Everything you need to know you have learned through your journey.”
Only through diligent consistent action can we…

Below is an original poem I wrote, which I then made into anh encouragement greetings card, that I now sell on Amazon UK. You can buy the card here.
Stuck in life,
with nowhere to go,
more downs than ups,
just feeling low.
It’s tough to change,
this situation around,
to find inner strength,
to lift yourself from the ground.
But you can do it,
just make the choice
to depart from the old,
listen to your voice.
The world is open,
to your magic within,
take the first step,
I know you can win.
I want to see,
a smile on your face,
to light up the room,
with your warm embrace.
Give yourself time,
and make a plan,
keep a positive attitude,
and stick with “I can”.
True support and encouragement,
from loved ones is there,
make this moment count,
face your fears, if you dare.
There is always a way,
don’t give up the fight,
I believe in you,
it’s all going to be alright.

Believe in You
To start afresh,
believe in you,
a chance to change,
for all that’s true.
To give you hope,
and faith in all,
“This time it’s different”,
I hear you call.
The present is here,
embrace all things,
when the sun comes up,
and the morning bird sings.
Awaken your spirits,
make a positive start,
live your life on purpose,
from the depths of your heart.
Stand By Your Dreams
For what it’s worth,
to all of you,
keep fighting for a life,
you want to come true.
Forget the worry,
and sleepless nights,
stand by your dreams,
to reach new heights.
For you are,
the happy ever after,
focus your thinking,
keep some laughter.
A tsunami storm,
can’t keep you away,
from better days,
so come what may.
Tell yourself,
I am that achiever,
stronger in challenge,
a warrior, a believer.
Take control,
master the seas,
forgive wrong pasts,
get up off your knees.
No more victim,
feel your desire,
feeding your heart,
aiming to inspire.
Encourage your soul,
and with arms open wide,
see yourself there,
succeeding with pride.

Lift Your Head High
What’s stopping you,
from dancing in the rain?
What’s keeping you,
from moving away from the pain?
The clouds will move on,
the sunshine will appear,
uplifting your spirits,
and filling you with cheer.
Take a moment,
to treasure all you’ve got,
when you really think about it,
you have such a lot.
Open the door to life,
let the fresh air in,
don’t let the bumps on the road,
keep you from a win.
For there comes a time,
when enough is enough,
lift your head high,
and challenge the rough.
Soon you’ll be amazed,
at what you can achieve,
smile with an open heart,
and in you believe.
Be True To Yourself
Be true to yourself,
and all that could be,
walking tall,
dancing on the sea.
Your vibe is beautiful,
the frequency high,
take a peek, a glimpse,
just one more try.
For you are,
all you need to be,
your heart is shining,
set it free.
You have the power,
to water the seeds,
flourish and blossom,
fulfill all your needs.
You Can Achieve
Design your life,
the way it should be,
from the money in your pocket,
to feeling free.
To the sounds in your life,
and the books you do read,
who you’re around
and everything you need.
Take the time,
to plan it out well,
make it happen,
under your spell.
True magic exists,
when you really believe,
that a fulfilling life,
you can achieve.
Take in the knowledge,
embrace the dream,
collaborate with others,
work as a team.
Go to work on yourself,
and measure it all,
progress will motivate you,
this is your call.
Keep going my friend,
face your fears.
Let the worry,
wash away those tears.
For today is a chance,
to be that spark.
Forever inspiring,
bringing light to dark.
Just do one thing,
to help you move on.
Each baby step closer,
towards a brand new dawn.
Look in the mirror,
be kind and forgiving.
For you really deserve,
A wonderful life worth living.
By Clarabelle
Let Fun In
Sometimes you have to,
let fun in,
life without it,
can be a little dim.
Feel the excitement,
enjoy it for a while,
let your hair down,
and your face it will smile.
Jump to the music,
just let go,
treasure the moment.
let fun flow.
Head’s in a spin,
this feels so good,
embrace the happiness,
within your mood.
Now is the time,
to banish all blues,
have a wonderful day,
dancing in your shoes.
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.

Happy Birthday to my lovely Clarabelle Blog today, thank you for being here. Here is the very first video poem I ever created for this blog, way back in July 2012, so much has happened since then…….so many great things and amazing experiences.
I am very grateful for you being here, thank you.
Oh misty mountain,
as far as the eye can see.
You watch over the land,
bathe in its history.
Oh misty mountain,
a bridge to reach our dreams.
You cast your mighty spell,
on rocky river streams.
Oh misty mountain,
I feel the depth of your heart.
A protector of the skies,
embracing a brand new start.
Oh misty mountain,
I see you as my friend.
Your size, it is your beauty,
and love without no end.
By Clarabelle
It’s nature’s way,
to show you, you.
A humble path,
eyes sunny blue.
Whispering in the wind,
gentle on your skin.
Nurturing life,
breathe it all in.
Talking soldiers,
are brave indeed.
Leaves of beauty,
flowering the weed.
Giants of green,
wave as you wander.
and there you’ll find me,
silent thoughts I do ponder.
By Clarabelle
I invite you to take a walk in nature today.
Poetry, poetry, where would we be without Poetry. 🙂 For you:
Lead me to your heart,
For I’ve forgotten the way.
It’s like New York City,
With no people today.
It all seems bizarre,
Confusion in my head.
Running on empty,
No sleep in bed.
It feels a little colder,
And darkness is falling.
I can’t see the stars,
I don’t hear you calling.
I had it in my hands,
I remember its strength.
Now it feels out of reach,
Further than, arms length.
But I come with a gift,
To help you grow.
It’s very special,
To only you, it will glow.
Open the box,
Treat it with care.
There is only one,
There isn’t a spare.
It will guide you through,
Your toughest days.
It’s stronger than the sun,
More clever than the maze.
Give it a wee cuddle,
Now and again.
It’s your golden umbrella,
Shielding you from all pain.
So no matter the storm,
Or the thunder that roars.
This special present,
Always thrives and soars.
It sleeps with your soul,
Breathes life into you,
Reviving your energy,
So loving and true.
Uncover the treasure,
See for yourself.
My heart is for you,
It’s your forever wealth.
No one else can see it,
It’s only visible to you.
For you hold the magic,
And it’s in your heart too.
By Clarabelle
Who am I,
to know what I want.
To unleash the veiling,
a mirror of haunt.
What’s the purpose,
to flow like a river.
Clouds drifting by,
You and me forever.
When I feel amazing,
you have been the key.
You are my everything,
letting me be.
Just like a star,
shining at night.
You bring me sunshine,
Happiness and light.
Each day goes by,
I never told a soul.
No words, just silence,
You make me whole.
A locked in secret,
buried in a cave.
Inside a treasure box,
Ghostly, yet brave.
Today I reveal,
the source of that code.
This oxygen feeds my spirit,
in freedom feeling mode.
For true love can’t be hidden,
it seeps from every pore.
It gives off a magic energy,
the senses can’t ignore.
Even every human angel,
waving a wand so strong.
Can’t match the love
where two hearts belong.
For the birds they know,
and the trees dance too.
They’re feeling the vibe,
Igniting us two.
There goes a second,
and another one too.
And as time passes by,
It brings me closer to you.
By Clarabelle
A poem about dreams and the power of The Law of Attraction. Just for you and your dreams.
I had a dream,
It lit up my heart.
I could feel its energy,
Right from the start.
The dream was big,
and gloriously bright.
It shone over mountains,
Dancing like a kite.
It captivated my soul,
Kept my spirits high.
This dream, what a dream,
In this dream, I could fly.
And then one day,
It knocked on my door.
“I am your dream,
come with me and soar.”
I was so excited,
my heart skipped a beat.
This dream wanted me,
I went, fast on my feet.
When I asked for my dream,
I held it tightly in my mind.
A vision so strong,
One of a kind.
I was grateful for it coming,
I knew it was only time.
Until that wonderful dream,
Would surely be mine.
Next time you have a dream,
See yourself there.
Appreciating its magic.
Gracing the air.
I had a dream,
And with inspired action.
The dream came to me,
It’s called The Law of Attraction.
By Clarabelle
I write from experiences, experiences close to my heart. This is my very own poetic true story, “On a Road, Not Many Travel.”
Blinded by the fog,
Congested in my head.
Trapped in an ocean,
of troubled thoughts instead.
I waited for an answer,
I tried almost everything.
I wanted to get better,
Hear my happy heart sing.
I had to make a change,
I needed to get out.
I wanted to see the world,
Explore and go about.
It took away the pain,
Distracted my old focus.
Held me in nature’s hands,
Like magical, hocus pocus.
The world I sit in now,
Was never in my vision.
It was an unknown footstep
Each one with real precision.
I stumbled upon an idea,
That would make a genius proud.
I was thinking on my own,
In the silence, it shouted loud.
The wheel it started to turn,
It was flowing like a river.
Gentle in its movement,
Capturing my heart forever.
The lesson I did learn,
Whispers deep within my soul.
I had a big big dream,
A never ending goal.
My spirit was set free,
On a road, not many travel.
People questioned my doings,
Like a mystery to unravel.
They thought I had gone mad,
They talked behind my back.
Thinking that I had failed,
Gone down a real bad track.
Now I stand almighty,
For I discovered the code.
Of how to be so happy.
And drop the heavy load.
I share my story with you,
A journey of untold tales.
Which dusted away the cobwebs,
Made successes from many fails.
I am not a magician,
Nor an angel without wings.
I just wanted to be happy,
Find love in wonderful things.
I took charge of my life,
I said, “I’m in control”.
“I am the light,
That brightens the darkest hole.”
I took brave bold decisions,
That inspired my curious mind.
This gave me the positive energy,
To give me, what I now find.
I’ll write another chapter,
It’s now a long life mission.
To always be so happy,
And I give myself permission.
About Clarabelle, By Clarabelle.
Last month I shared with you the first two parts of the beginnings of my own book. Here is a link to those previous two parts:
I shared in those posts that I had only written six A4 pages of the book in 2011 and felt it was now a good time to post them on this blog.
Below is Part III of my story and maybe, just maybe I will now continue with my book, almost 4 years later. What I do hope this posts encourages YOU to do, is for you to start to write your own book, that my friend is what you need to hear today. I look forward to reading your book one day, I truly do, this is YOUR sign to do that.
Let me fast forward you to my teenage years where I feel some entrepreneurial spirit was starting to shine….a team of friends and I arranging school discos on a Tuesday night….I often think back to that and laugh and also selling tablet and macaroon in school classes – 3pm was a good time for sales – pupils started to get hungry and couldn’t access any food until home time so sales were very good then, in particular Maths Class. I am smiling here because I can remember the conversations so clearly. I had a job after school from the age of 14, Dad got me the job in the local shop after school 4.30pm –8.00pm Monday to Friday. I didn’t particularly like that job for various reasons but mainly because I felt ‘forced’ to go to this job, it was like a family expectation – however it did give me excellent work experience – I also earned 80 pence an hour, not that great pay really but I started to appreciate and value money then, I would save up my money and buy things like my first shell suit (with batwings) and matching adidas trainers….oh I am laughing to myself now.
I couldn’t wait to leave school and ‘earn money’ I left the job in the shop and worked at the weekend in a hotel doing some waitressing, with my best friend Donna (her Uncle Michael got us the job)…one word here “hilarious”. Ask me about those funny stories one day. Ah I’m starting to see a pattern here, family customers got us the jobs and “asked” – another great wee quote I like “if you don’t ask, the answer is always no”….so very true!! I went to typing college after High School and got my first job in Cassels Solicitors when I was 16, my official job title was “Office Junior” a title that you cannot use these days due to age discrimination laws. That was a good first job, I earned £29.50 a week for the first year and gave my mum £10.00 per week “dig” money, when my wages went up to £34.50 the following year I gave my mum £15.00 per week – so I was wasn’t any better off, not good business sense there….but I just got on with it!!
I left that job due to a couple of serious car accidents I was in when I was 18….that’s another story but I do want to tell you about a significant story here.
After my car accidents I was extremely nervous travelling in cars, to the extent that I was unbearable as a passenger, screaming, shouting, “stop, get me out”, my imagination had possessed my mind and I was convinced that cars were going to come of nowhere and crash into us….bizarre now I know but very true at the time. I knew I needed help so I went to the Doctor with my problem. I explained the situation and the Doctor proceeded to write me out a prescription for drugs that I could take before going into a car and he said they would calm me down. “No”, I said rather strongly and confidently, I told him I didn’t want to take drugs everytime I wanted to sit in a car, I didn’t want to rely on this, I said to him I knew it was psychological and asked for an alternative option…so off to the psychologist I went.. after a couple of trips and listening to tapes, I decided that, that process wasn’t for me, I couldn’t engage in it for some reason probably because I didn’t fully understand it….I told the psychologist that the only way I felt I would get over this was to learn to drive myself and be in control of the situation. I did do that, I faced my fear and did it anyway, I’ve been driving for over 15 years now and just love the independence of driving.
When I think back to that time, I could have been so easily influenced on taking drugs to help me out, but I challenged the Doctor from a vulnerable position I might add and thus a different outcome…much more positive than being hooked on drugs. I do feel very proud of myself when I think back to that situation.
I am going to take a break here from writing and head out for run before the sun comes fully up….I’ll head towards the beach front that will be lovely and refreshing, I’ll be back. Time 7.05am.

Well well, so much for continuing with my book when in Spain, I figured that it was my mum’s holiday too and quality time with my mum was much more important to me at the time than focusing on writing my book. We did have a lovely holiday though and I feel some well deserved sunshine and relaxation for us both.
It is better for me to be in the ‘mood’ to write this book and just let the creative flow process take over, that way there is little effort and less energy required, for some reason it just feels easy and natural when in that zone.
***
That’s all for now folks, that’s all I’ve written, I am sure I will come back to it one day, I know I will, when I’m ready and when I’m in the zone.
Are you inspired to write you own book yet?….I do hope so.
Clarabelle
Reflections of perceptions, that’s what this poem is about. Let the words inspire your ways and may you always keep your perceptions positive.
The mirror of life,
So crystal clear.
Or is it blurred,
With what we fear?
To someone close,
You’re young and bright.
To someone unknown,
A stranger at night.
Perceptions of people,
Paint a dim view.
Of what is real,
In me and you.
With a pinch of salt,
Sugar coated in thought.
Your actions speak louder,
In time lost forgot.
So carry yourself,
Just like you do.
Soft reflections like clouds,
Breathe life into you.
Poem by Clarabelle
Meeting new people in your life can bring you a whole new world of opportunities. Be open to meeting new people in your life, be forthcoming to making new friends, for they could be a true friend for life. This next poem is inspired by just that…….To My Someone New…
It’s nice to meet you,
Such a pleasure.
Our paths have crossed,
You are the treasure.
Your smile is dazzling,
Your heart is good.
I feel your vibe,
Your happy mood.
To my someone new,
You give me light.
You erase the darkness,
Bring warmth at night.
I embrace your hugs,
They’re filled with care.
When lightning strikes,
You stand there.
A friend for life,
Adventures together.
Stepping into this world,
Souls light as a feather.
Poem by Clarabelle
When you have confidence, you have the real belief that you can achieve anything in this world, confidence can truly be King in your life. When you have confidence it gives you the key to open many doors in life, confidence is an opportunity magnet. I wrote this poem below about confidence. Think confidence, do confidence, be confidence in your life.
Confidence is a thought,
Living in your mind.
Don’t let it sleep,
Wake up and find.
That you have the world,
Waiting at your feet.
You have the power,
To victor, do defeat.
So think with confidence,
Be strong and alive.
You’ll achieve anything,
Watch yourself thrive.
Poem by Clarabelle
it frees my soul
[Post Updated 9 August 2024]
I love writing poetry, it frees my soul and uplifts me into another worldly dimension. Words flow easily, joining hand-in-hand onto the blank page before me.
I wrote my book Poetic Whispers this way – the words came together like magic.
My poetic thoughts on poetry. What is poetry for you?
What is poetry?
Spoken words so true.
Reflections of the heart.
Connecting with you.
What is poetry?
I write here alone.
Simmering my thoughts.
Silence in my home.
What is poetry?
Like a lover’s kiss.
Tender on the soul.
Something I miss.
What is poetry?
Between you and me.
It’s the light in my spirit.
Setting me free.

Last week I shared with you the first part of this blog post, it was the beginnings of my own book, which I wanted to share with you. Today, I share with you Part II and if you missed the first part, here is a link for it, Start Writing Part I
Thinking about writing your own book? Well, if there ever was a clear sign that you should, then here it is….GO FOR IT!!
My mum and I have now been in Santa Ponsa almost 24 hours and during that time we have honoured our first task given to us by Uncle Gerry, which was to deliver a bottle of Scotch Whisky to Tony and Peter, Owners of Axaja Restaurant, we are dining there on Wednesday night – I love meeting new people, so I am looking forward to that with my mum.
We shall move from this hotel to the flat today and I am looking forward to taking the cases up the steep hill…I like a physical challenge, now that I think of it, I really love to challenge myself, even more so everyday now, “face the fear and do it anyway” –that’s my motto of the moment.
Let me give you a very brief summary of my life to date and I really do mean “summary”, for the moment anyway. I was born on 10 July 1973 and I had the most truly wonderful childhood, honestly I really did, I have the most amazing memories of fun, laughter, self-expression, lots and lots of pals (friends). What it feels like today when reminiscing and looking back, is like a unique bubble of incredible community spirit and human resourcefulness – I’ve added in some pictures from the past which I feel captures what I’m saying here.
I was such an adventurous child with a vivid imagination, and I often dreamed of travelling to America. I can quite distinctly remember one summer evening when I was about 9 years old in the local playground and swinging as high as I could go on a swing, so I could see the bright city lights in the distance, it was like I was trying to actually reach them or touch them in some sort of way.
Back then I didn’t know it was the town of Hamilton, which was less than 10 minutes drive away, but in my childhood mind it was America and I visualised myself travelling there when I was older and having fun in a bustling, exciting environment, sunny all day long and mesmerising after dark.
“Claire, Claire…..time to come in”, Mum shouted.
“Awh Mum, give me 5 minutes, please just 5 minutes more Mum”, I shouted back.
Mum always did actually, YES, I was happy, 5 minutes more to lose myself in my mind and dream of escaping to those big beautiful city lights – that was a wonderful kind of freedom for me.
I am noticing as I am writing here my values are starting to come out….I can now start to identify where they were born, for example, “fun, freedom, challenge and adventurous spirit” are clearly evident from 30 years ago, WOW, and they’re still with me, maybe changed rank over time but they are still there.
Now that I am thinking, even before that I have a clear memory of Brenda Shannon, my best friend when I was 5 years old, her and I talking about going to America…where did that come from?, I can only think that possibly came from watching certain American TV programmes….I will think of what they were and add them in here.
***
The Final Part III will be shared in a future blog post, next week.
Get writing my friend.
Clarabelle
Loved this one from thewannabesaint 🙂
It was World Poetry Day yesterday, and to honour the celebration of this wonderful day, I share a poem with you. I wrote this poem, today, especially for this blog post. I have missed creating and sharing my poetry with you and I am going to do lots more of it again.
The Colour of My Heart
The colour of my heart,
Brightens the dullest day.
It sparkles in the moonlight,
Lights up, when I do pray.
It gives out lots of love,
For others to embrace.
It paints a magical picture,
Cheers up a saddened face.
It beams across the land,
Spreading happiness all the way.
It shapes a beautiful future,
Like sunshine on a rainy day.
Pastel pink and youthful yellow,
Add a shimmering sparkle or two.
Like golden butterflies in the air,

In 2011 I decide to start writing my own book, I didn’t really have any big plans for it, I just thought about it one day and started writing.
I was on holiday with my mum when I started it, I remember the moment well. I couldn’t really sleep that night, so I just got my computer out and started typing, started writing. I actually only wrote 6 pages in total, so the book has a long long way to go, however I came across these initial writings last night and so I would like to share them with you.
I will share the writings over the new few blog posts, I think it’s nice to share and maybe it will inspire you to start writing your own book…..just maybe.
So here goes…..enjoy!!
“If you get caught between the moon and New York City, that’s what you can, that’s what you can do, is fall in love”,…..5.48am, Monday, 1st August 2011 and I’m listening to my iPod from my hotel room in sunny Santa Ponsa, Majorca. I am here on holiday with my mum, it was a last minute holiday booking, an opportunity that couldn’t be missed, Carpe Diem meaning “seize the day”, when my Uncle Gerry offered us his holiday accommodation – so hence the fact why we are here…who knows what this week will bring, but I am sure lots of good times, fun, soul searching, heart reflection and inner inspiration. This is special mother daughter time and now that I am 38 I realise how important and precious this time is, so I will be the BEST daughter I can be.
There is a Book in Each and Everyone of YOU
I was thinking last week that I would take on the challenge of writing my book whilst I was away, so I am delighted I have started, not exactly sure where this book will take us, but I guess I am taking you on a journey of life reflections, learning and future inspiration. Why now?….Well, I feel strong messages from external and internal sources have taken me to this moment now, so I’ll just keep on writing.
“There is a book in each and everyone of you”, the voice from the stage loudly expressed, and you know what, that man on the stage, he is so right. We all have our own stories of real life and/or fictional stories from our creative imagination, we just need to start them…I’m going to just keep on writing.
TO BE CONTINUED…..on next blog post,
Thank you for reading,

A friend asked me to share this post with her again, which i did and then i thought it might be a good idea to reblog it. This was written by me after a marathon training run in July 2013, I remember it so well.
I had this thought whilst out running yesterday morning, it certainly made me think and maybe because I am very much a ‘people person’ i.e. I love people, is why I think this way.
Golden Summer Meadow
Imagine you were walking alone through a beautiful golden summer meadow, beneath the bluest of skies, with the sun beaming down on all the colours of the flowers around you, the scenery is so stunning it has a white haze around it, as if you were in your own beautiful dream.
You feel lots of love around you, you feel happy, contented and at peace, you are grateful for this moment, you feel very blessed indeed. Imagine that moment for yourself right now, if you’re anything like me, you feel so happy and have a soft smile upon your face. What is it that makes you feel that way, when you walk through…

I just love the sound of the piano and I am so envious of those amazing people who can play the piano. If that means you, then I admire your piano playing talents and I would like to join you one day – I know I will.
This beautiful Sunday morning, I share with you a lovely piano instrumental from one of my original songs “I Am Here”. The piano on this track is being played by Denis Kilty from Ireland, he is such a wonderful piano player, ever so talented indeed.
May your Sunday morning be blessed with love and may each musical note played on the piano touch your heart forever.
Enjoy your Sunday morning to the fullest, listening to the piano music below.

The blessings of grace are all around us and even, at times, when we are absent from grace, in pops a beautiful reminder from a family member or close friend, offering us a very warm and touching act of grace towards us.
I am thinking of a time right now, when I allowed my own truth to be the only truth and “flew of the handle” at a situation I perceived wrongly. Actually, wrongly is an understatement, I was completely at the wrong end of the stick. I am sure I did not deserve the most beautiful act of grace that was gifted to me at that time and I don’t mean in a pretty wrapped up package. I was given something quite different from that, I was given “silent time”, silent time to heal, to think and to seek first to understand before being understood. I was given the grace of, well at first I thought nothing, but on much deeper reflection, I now realise that I was given the grace of everything.
The grace came from a friend, who was going through a very tough time of his own and yet chose to respond to my rather bad reaction, by creating enough space between my initial anger until I reached a place of love. It’s easy for me to think of that situation now and cringe at the way I behaved, but you know what, I learned a great lesson from it….a lesson that is now blueprinted in my heart of hearts.
I would say that I am now a better person from experiencing that situation. I was given, not only a vital life lesson but also a beautiful blessing through the gift of grace.
My friend, my lovely friend in the aforementioned circumstances has shown me such admirable qualities and in doing so, have proven to be such a positive impact on my life. This situation has brought us so much closer together, it helped me to become more self aware and discover a part of me that I wasn’t aware even existed.
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 that 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 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 exude.
What does “grace” mean to you?

This post is more than 2 years old but still yet as STRONG…..a reminder for you to Keep a Strong Mind. Clarabelle
Life Throws Us Many Challenges
Life throws us many challenges and sometimes just when you think you’ve got a little closer to the mountain top, darkness falls and fears and frustrations kick in. No one said life was ever going to be easy, but we must remember there are many things in life to be grateful for right now. Having an attitude of gratitude will become your inner torch, and will fill up your soul with an abundance of love and light. This next poem was written by me, during a challenging time in my life and my self expression through my poetry, at times, was my saving grace. I now share this with you in the hope that it will help you in some way to move forward regardless of the barriers that are in your way. Much love to you today and always, Clarabelle.

Hold hands with someone close to you, doesn’t it feel really nice?
I remember as a child I loved taking my Dad’s hand, it felt so strong, caring and protective. Holding hands is such a nice feeling.
I held a friend’s hand today and it felt so nice, it felt, well just perfect at that moment in time.
Holding hands is special, it can say a million beautiful words in this one piece of affection.
I encourage you to reach out and hold someone’s hand today. Maybe it will be your Mum or Dad’s, a sister, brother or close friend or maybe you’ll just be helping the old lady across the street.
Whoever’s hand you choose to hold today, I know it will make you and the other person feel so good.

Hello to you.
I feel very blessed for everything in my life, I really do. Life is a blessing and as I am getting older, I am appreciating so many more things, which before, I probably took for granted.
What do you feel blessed for in your life?
I was thinking today, that music is a blessing, such a beautiful blessing and I wanted to share with you the piano instrumental from one of my songs. This piece of music, I feel, is so gentle and ambient that it will soothe you into a peaceful haven.
This instrumental is from the song “Runaway Love” and I feel it just fits perfectly playing in the background, when you are reading your favourite book or having some deep reflection time whilst sipping a lovely cup of coffee.
Let the piano notes take you to places you’ve never been to before in your heart, let it free your mind and inspire your soul.
A beautiful day to you.

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.
Who Are You?

Have you ever tried doing a Gratitude Exercise? I thought I would share an exercise with you today, one that will help you to practice daily gratitude. This one is about being grateful for the sweet music that is around us. Music that will bring joy to your heart.
Extract from “It’s All About Gratitude” by Clarabelle:
Give thanks to the feel good vibrations of music that touches your heart and moves your soul. Play and sing along to your favourite song/musical piece today and let each musical note uplift your spirits. Give thanks for this moment and to the creators of this musical work of art. Let your body move to the rhythm of the beat and be thankful for being able to experience the magic of music. Play this music as many times as you want to today and feel deep gratitude for having it in your life. Sing and dance along to it and enjoy the happiness this brings to you today. Be thankful and joyous for it all.
I thought I would share some of my music with you today. I have a lot of new visitors coming to this site each and every day, there’s almost 50,000 of you and I think it would be nice to share my songwriting passion with all you newbies and of course existing blog followers/visitors.
It’s really so nice to have you here, it really is.
Below is a short video of me a.k.a Clarabelle singing at my first live gig in my hometown in Scotland,UK. This song is entitled “I Am Here”, it was the very first song I wrote in this new chapter of my songwriting career.
Creative writing is so important to me, it’s a MUST in my life, so whether it be musings on this blog or heart to heart songwriting, I love it all.
I Am Here is a song I wrote about missing my Dad but I know he is happy in heaven above.
This song goes out to each and everyone of you out there who is deeply missing someone from your life right now. Forever they are in our hearts.
Every human being has that “Rockstar Magic” living inside of them, it’s just that not everyone has unleashed their own Rockstar yet.
Be your own Rockstar, work towards being the hero of your own life. You are the main attraction of your life, you’re the real star. Believe it, breathe it, live it, BE IT.
Make today your very own Rockstar day, what would that be like for you?
Envision being the happiest you’ve ever been, your vibe is beautiful and you inspire many hearts. Believe that you are that Rockstar person already, because you are, you know you are. Dance like a Rockstar, laugh like a Rockstar, sing like a Rockstar, write like a Rockstar and play like a Rockstar.
Have fun fun fun imagining your new Rockstar lifestyle. How good do you feel now? I bet you, you’re already starting to feel like a Rockstar. Now keep going my Rockstar friend, you’ve just made the first baby step towards unleashing the Rockstar in you.
Keep on rocking!!

I really love to write, I really do, isn’t that wonderful, isn’t that so great that I am doing something everyday in my life that I love? It feels so amazing, it really does, I really look forward to writing to you, I get excited, I say to myself, “Yippee, it’s time to write on my blog, what shall I talk to you about today?”
I must say, I never ever struggle finding something to write about, never, because writing comes so naturally to me.
What do you love doing? Do you get a chance to do it every day? If not, imagine if you could, imagine if you could do that wonderful thing everyday.
Well if you can dream it, you can do it…..so get dreaming my friend.
Dream It, Do It.
