I wrote this motivational and inspirational speech from deep within my heart and soul for YOU yesterday and I recorded it on Youtube this morning. I do hope this inspires you to be the BEST EVER YOU. Love Clarabelle
BEST EVER YOU
Who Am I? I am a woman, a person with a heart, a loving heart, a soul, a singing soul, a spirit, a happy spirit. I have dreams, great, great, dreams. I have plans, big, big, plans. I have faith, strong faith in the mystery of the unknown and I BELIEVE.
I believe with every part of my being that only magnificence lies before me. I have a unique power that goes beyond the impossible. I have an energy that attracts true abundance to me. I am alive and I am grateful for all that I am and for all that I am becoming.
I can create magic around me because I breathe and do with passion, every baby step that I take on this journey of life.
The miracle of all miracles is in me and in every path I come across. Every heart that I touch, every soul that I inspire, every star that I catch and every rainbow that protects me from the storms.
I am at one with me, in the silence of all silences my spirit shines and my light guides me out of the darkness.
I fly, I soar, I reach for the mountain top and when I get there, I see far in the distance another higher mountain to climb. But it is in the challenge of every challenge to only ever reach the top. The top is never ending, the beginning is never new, life is, what it is.
Life is how you see it.
Life is how you live it.
Life is how you love it.
There is freedom, there is abundance, there is everything you need and want before you. You can’t see it with your eyes, you can’t touch it with your hands but it is living, breathing and dancing around you. This invisible space is your space, your space to fill with smiles, laughter, love, joy and happiness. Nourish the space around you by nourishing peace from within, because even in stormy weathers you can find a calm place.
So go to the edge of the mountain top because it is waiting for you with open arms. Other travellers want to hear your story, want to learn from your experiences, good or bad. They want to know, what you know, to help them on their own journey of life.
Then you must find a quiet spot and listen to the sound of the wind, whispers of the greatest knowledge will come to you and you will use this wisdom to carry on.
Yes you may feel broken right now.
Yes you may have cried enough tears to fill a river.
Yes you may feel like a failure and all your self-worth and self-confidence has gone.
But I want to tell you something. It’s still there you know. The best part of you is still living in you. You still have that spark. You still shine. You are loved deeply and your heart knows this.
The mind can play games with our feelings, but the mind has no hold over the power of the heart. Close your eyes, feel your heart, feel its energy, feel its power, let it grow inside of you.
You are very special and you can and will do this. You will turn your life around for the better.
This is the moment that counts, this is when you decide enough is enough. This is when you say “I am strong, I am better than that and I believe in me and my potential. I am whatever I choose to be and I choose to be what I believe in my heart. I am my greatest dreams, I am.”
Never settle for too little because you have such a lot and to not unleash your true talents into this world would surely keep you from the wisdom that is truly yours.
Trust in you, trust in your abilities, trust that everyone is asking similar questions and this is your time to fight back. This is your time to answer with your heart. This is your life, to love, to live, to learn and to lead. Capture that feeling in your heart right now, let it flow through every vein in your body, let it illuminate you with drive, determination and self-discipline, now mix it with passion and purpose and you’re on your way.
You are free now, free to make the right choices and decisions in life that will make you the BEST EVER YOU. Your new life awaits – make every moment count and GO GET IT, because nobody deserves it more than you. You have all the qualities within you to make it. Thrive, grow and shine NOW and FOREVER.

The Greatest Potential
Stand in front of the mirror today and tell yourself a more positive story. Look at the beauty in your eyes, feel the love in your heart and the faith in your soul. See how very special you are, you are unique and you have the greatest potential to be whatever you want to be. This next poem is for you because it’s all about telling yourself a different story……let this be your true love story to yourself. Love Clarabelle.
I Am Sorry
I am sorry, for the hurt and the pain
Sorry for, the sleepless night again
Sorry for, the tears that fall
Sorry when, I missed the call
Sorry for, the past so bleak
Sorry for, being so weak
Sorry for, the yes and no
Sorry that, I didn’t show
I look in the mirror, there I see
I am talking out loud, only to me
What if I change these words I say?
What if I think in a different way?
I am happy, because I have a lot
I am grateful, for all I’ve got
I am beautiful, inside and out
I am kind, I have no doubt
I am strong and believe in me
I am everything, I want to be
I’m changing my story, look at my face
I’m smiling with confidence, in this place
I see the light, my goals appear
Visions of hope and faith are here
Words have power, choose them well
Start your day, in heaven not hell
Shower yourself, with positive thoughts
Banish the worries, untangle the knots
Wake up, to a brand new you
Shine in this moment and all you do

Life Saver
I want to tell you a story, a true story from 22 years ago, it is the story of the day I believe, my best friend saved my life. I just feel I want to share this with you today and I want to dedicate this blog post to Donna my BFF, best friend forever. Thank you for everything and more.
Accident 1
I was 18 when I was in my first very serious car accident, the police officers who visited me in hospital afterwards told me they don’t know how I got out of the car alive, because where I was sitting in the car, there was basically nothing left of it. I remember that evening so clearly, the sounds, the smells, the conversations, every one of my senses seemed to be fully enhanced.
Full Recovery
Leading up to it, there was lots of fun, joking around and laughter and then all of a sudden I was squealing in pure agony, trapped in a car I couldn’t get out of. But thankfully I did get out of it and after almost 6 weeks in hospital and one and half years with crutches I managed to make a full recovery and get back on track with my life.
That was the first serious car accident I was in but it is the second car crash that happened four and half months after the first one, that I want to tell you about.
Accident 2
My best friend and I were offered a lift by some other friends, I was in crutches and insisted on sitting in the back of the car behind the drivers seat. There was five of us in the car and my best friend was sitting to the left of me, in the middle seat position. The driver stopped to get petrol and my best friend got out to get some sweets. When she came back she wanted me to move into the middle seat of the car but I didn’t want to go into the middle of the car, she insisted and we had a silly mini argument about it and I had enough and just moved into the middle of the car. No less than 2 minutes later the car crashed and my best friend got the full impact of the car hitting a steel pole in the middle of a roundabout. I was protected because I was in the middle, I did get crushed but with bodies rather than metal and steel. My best friend was in a really bad way, she was lying in the middle of the road and all she kept shouting was “is Claire alright, is Claire alright”. Yes, I was alright in comparison to her. She was taken immediately to intensive care and was put on a life support machine, she was given a very low chance of surviving. We said lots of prayers, I have never said so many prayers in my life so that she would get well again, we were told the chances were very slim but I always believed she would and thankfully she did and she made a full recovery within 6 months.
Saved My Life
I know that my best friend saved my life that night of the second car accident. My body was still in recovery from the first one and I was so weak and thin, if I had been sitting in the same seat, I would never have had the strength to have survived that second car accident. As I shared earlier, my friend insisted on changing seats 2 minutes before the accident happened, I believe my best friend saved my life that day.
Fighting Fit
We are both fighting fit now and full of health and we often now just laugh and cry about those times, not funny I know but after 22 years you start to look at things a little differently.
It wasn’t our time to go, all those years ago, God had other plans for us. Thank you so much.
Love and Strength of Friendships
I had many dark days when recovering from my accident, many many dark days, lots of tears, lots of frustrations and lots of anger built up inside of me. I was still a teenager and had a great dreams and plans that I thought, at the time, were getting taken away from me. My dad was also suffering from cancer at the time so I think that didn’t help either. Now that I reflect upon it, I think I was a little ignorant and possibly a little bit selfish. I couldn’t see past my own pain and I blamed a lot of external things for my unhappiness. These life experiences, I believe have made me a better and stronger person. My bitter thinking was all wrong at the time, I can see that now and I am sorry I felt that way, but I learned a lot, I learned a lot about myself and about the love and strength of friendships.
Gratitude
I am such a grateful person now, I have so grateful to be alive, to be healthy, to be happy and to still have my best friend in my life……forever 🙂 I treasure everything that I have and I nurture my positive energy every day.
I actually never ever thought I would share this story on my blog, but for some reason it just felt right to share it today.
In life we are faced with many challenges and sometimes at the time we are facing them we don’t see the lesson……but believe me there is a lesson and it will be revealed through time or if we take time out of the equation, through a change in our thinking.
Much love to you today, as always, Clarabelle
I want to give a massive thanks to YOU for visiting this Clarabelle blog. Just over a month ago I was celebrating reaching 10,000 blog hits and yesterday I am amazed to say that I reached 12,000, this is the fastest growth ever to date. I want to give thanks to all the other bloggers, guest bloggers, facebook friends, linkedin connections, twitter followers and all other visitors who take the time to come and visit my blog and read, like and comment on my posts.
I truly LOVE doing this blog, I choose to put a lot of love and positive energy into it because I am passionate about what I write and share with you. I don’t plan in advance what I want to write, I just write what feels right at the time……and I really do hope it adds value to your day.
Thank you for your full support, encouragement and inspiration and I really do mean that.
Wishing you a very beautiful day filled with true passion and love for what you do, love Clarabelle
Love this, made me smile so had to reblog. Clarabelle
thank you breastfedblog for this post.
Every month I give you a question to reflect upon and I also provide you with my own answer to that question. Here is this month’s question for you to ponder:
Question:
Which of your core values is most important to you?
My Answer:
In my work as a Coach I explore core values with the individuals I work with, I feel it is so important to understand what your values are and what each value means to you. My number one core value without any doubt is “Love”. What does “Love” mean to me? Love is everything, without love for self and for each other, life for me would be meaningless. Love has an invisible power, like no other force, love is the answer to all conflicts and broken down relationships. Love is magnetic, love is nature, love is peace, love is love, is love. “Love Redeems All” (that’s on my Vision Wall).
On 21 December 2012 I was invited to attend a Winter Solstice meditation event. Here is an extract from the invitation:
“This year’s Winter Solstice is an extraordinary event that has been anticipated and speculated by the astrologers for many years. I’m sure we have all heard about the Mayan calendar ending its significant cycle on that day. There is another most powerful event that is taking place on December 21st 2012. On that day the planet earth will be part of the Galactic Alignment that takes place once every 26,000 years. We are having this meditation with the intention to align with this monumental event. When we come together our energies converge to create a powerful magnetic force that attracts the universal energies. Together we are more than the sum of its parts. We do this in support of the transformation and growth which we hope to maintain in the coming year of 2013. This event will never be witnessed by us or by many generations that follow us. We cannot afford to miss this opportunity for honouring and letting go of the Old with grace and gratitude, and embracing the New in trust, surrender and joy.”
I had never been to anything like this before and I was excited to go. It felt really strange at first, just because it was all new to me but I felt I really embraced the event with all my heart. When I came home from the event I drew the following picture of “Love“, at the time I never fully understood what I was drawing, I was…..well, just drawing because it felt right at the time. Now, as I read more on the subjects of “The Quantum Field”, “The Law of Vibration” and other related topics, I am really starting to understand what my drawings mean.
What does love look like to you? If you had to draw a picture of “Love” what would it look like? I’m cheating now because that is more questions. :-)
I will leave you with those thoughts of love.
Much love to you today as always, Clarabelle.
New Perspective
It’s nice to meet new people from different backgrounds and different walks of life, for me, it always makes fascinating conversation. Meeting a new person is like inviting a whole new perspective on the world into your life. I love meeting new people, I can feel their energy, see their dreams through their eyes and visualise in my imagination the stories of their lives, places they’ve been too, hearts they’ve touched and inspired. Just through one conversation over a cup of coffee can lighten up your own world, it’s like having new eyes in that very moment. Hopefully I will get to meet some of you in the future, I don’t know when and I don’t know where but I feel that would be wonderful to happen.
Today, I encourage you to meet a new person or talk to someone you’ve never spoken to before. Embrace the magic of this new conversation, no matter what it is about and interpret it has a “love story”, wow, how wonderful that conversation will leave you.
Every person in this world has their own “love story” to tell, listen deeply with your heart and you will be surely connecting with them on a different level.
May you be open to a fresh perspective on life today and let this renewed energy reinvigorate your soul. Lots of love, Clarabelle
Do something today to honour your soul. Something that will deeply connect you to your true self. What might this be? Well, for me it could be any of the following:
The above, are just some things that help my own soul growth but for you in might be something completely different. Do whatever works for you, as along as you do it. Soul growth is such a special type of development that really gets to the core of who you really are. Personally, I really love it and I will continue every day to develop my soul.
What will you do today to honour your soul?
Wising you a beautiful day filled with smiles, joy and happiness, may your soul shine with great courage, true spirit and unconditional love.
Much love to you today, Clarabelle.
Give thanks to this moment right now because having gratitude is such a beautiful thing. Have faith in the mystery of the unknown, believe with all your heart that what you truly desire it making its way to you right now.
“People who can sincerely be thankful for things which they own in imagination have real faith. They will get rich; they will cause the creation of whatever they want.” Wallace Wattles (1860-1911)
About 18 months ago I shared on here a post regarding a Vision Wall I created, this was strongly based on my belief, faith and imagination of what I wanted to create in my life. I am delighted to share with you, that most of this has come true for me and I look forward to sharing that with you in a future blog post. You can also check out the process that I went through on the VISION WALL page of this website.
Thank you for reading this post, lots of love, Clarabelle
Most people spend more time planning their yearly holiday/vacation that they do their life.
What do I mean by life planning?
I believe it is about YOU exploring some of the the following things:
Some of you may not know this, but I am a fully qualified Coach (Executive, Life & Career), I have had my own Coaching, Leadership/Management Training and Human Resources Business since 2008. I work with clients in business and privately on the above stuff, I also do tons of work on this myself for my own self development.
If you don’t make a plan or set goals for yourself it can be really easy to “just drift by”, like a cloud in the sky and sometimes helping other people to live out their dreams more than your own. I am all for helping people with their dreams but this should not be at the detriment to your own self.
Take some time today to think about what you REALLY want from life and how to live your life more in alignment with your core values. When you do this you will be moving more towards long term life fulfillment rather than just quick fixes and short bursts of happiness.
Maybe just maybe your were meant to read this post today and maybe just maybe it will inspire you to take that first step towards living the life you truly desire and truly deserve. Don’t be a drifting cloud in the sky, be that SUN shining bright and full of forever happiness.
Much love to you today, Clarabelle
Inspiration is Everywhere
I wrote this song because I wanted the lyrics to inspire people to really believe in themselves and go for their dreams and goals in life. The song is entitled, “I Am The Greatest” and I want the person singing along to it, to really believe that they are and to feel encouraged and empowered by the words from within. Inspiration is everywhere and I do hope you find some of it in this song. Below is the Youtube video of me singing it for you. I am still working on the backing tracks but I didn’t want that to stop the process of me sharing this with you. 🙂 Wishing you a day filled with love and inspiration, love Clarabelle.
‘Me’ Time
Do one thing today that makes you happy, I mean something you haven’t done for a while, something that you’ve missed doing, something that you enjoy doing. Today make some time to do that. Often we get so caught up in our busy lives we forget the special ‘me‘ time that we all deserve. Just for today do that one thing that makes you happy – I know you will be glad you did.
Much love to you today, Clarabelle
True Happiness
I believe “Happy Ever After” has nothing to do with the “after”, I believe it is in the now, right at this very moment, because this moment, right now, is always we have. I created a poem this evening about “What is Happy Ever After?” and I also recited it on Youtube for you. I hope you like it. May this moment, right now in your life, fill you with true happiness, lots of love Clarabelle.
What is Happy Ever After?
Peace from within, joyful inside,
Gratefulness in the moment, being your guide.
The brightest star, shining on you,
The rainbow smiling, on what you do.
The deepest love, you ever could feel,
Hugging each other, on the family and friends wheel.
A kiss, a cuddle, a warm embrace,
Being in the now, no happiness to chase.
Calmness in the soul, free from stress,
Creating space, living with less.
So on this journey of life, enjoy the laughter,
This is my answer to, “What is Happy Ever After?”

Our Universe is hugely vast and ‘Earth’ is so tiny in comparison. This video is fascinating and demonstrates it very well.
“Keep life in perspective and don’t sweat the small stuff.”
I am a big reader on the Law of Attraction and recently I have been listening to Gregg Kuhn on the subject of “The Quantum Field” which I am finding really fascinating indeed. The Quantum Field is described by Gregg as “an invisible field of energy that represents all possibilities”. Here is something for you to think about today:
If a tree falls in a forest and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?
I was thinking about that one a lot yesterday…..definitely one to be continued 🙂
I will post more on this subject as I learn more and put the learnings into practice.
First step is to align my beliefs with my desires because like energy vibrations attract like energy vibrations. So if you’re reading this post today, I guess we are both on the same energy vibrations and it is truly wonderful to have you here.
Lots of love to you today and may your thoughts today attract all that you want and more. Clarabelle
The Science of Happiness
Watch this short Youtube video, it touched my heart because I know the power gratitude has and this experiment reveals that and little bit more. Maybe it will inspire you to “Make the Call” when you answer the question:
“What person has made the biggest impact on your life?”
I came across this video on Youtube this evening and I really loved it, I thought it was too beautiful not to share it with you.
Give gratitude to the gift of life today, open your heart and let the blessings of gratefulness flow through you. Lots of love, Clarabelle
Have a heart of gratitude today, count your many blessings and feel the warmth of gratitude breathe inside of you, nourishing your every cell. Lots of love to you today, Clarabelle
“If the only prayer you said in your whole life was “THANK YOU” that would be suffice.” Meister Eckhart (c. 1260-c. 1328)
Everyday I listen to music from relaxdaily on Youtube and I wanted to share this beautiful video with you today. I think it says it all really, I hope you love it as much as I do.
Love Clarabelle
When you are feeling the power of gratitude from within you are putting good energy into your body and also sending out good vibes into the Universe. Please take a moment to answer this question:
What are you truly grateful for today?
I am grateful for living in Scotland, I love the beautiful landscape, the “4 seasons in one day” Scottish weather 🙂 and the Scottish people. I love living in Scotland, I really do and the more spiritually aware I am becoming, the more I really appreciate its beauty.
This doesn’t mean I want to live here forever, I do actually believe I will move out of Scotland in the near future, but it just means I am really grateful for Scotland in the “here and now”.
Thank you Bonny Scotland, you truly are very Bonny indeed.
May you bask in the beauty of gratitude today, wherever you are in the world.
Lots of love to you, Clarabelle
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.
I shall be doing more of these short videos for you, I hope you like my poem entitled
“The Sands of Time”.
Wishing you a beautiful day today filled with positivity, happiness and abundance, Clarabelle
I took this photo for you from a display board inside the Visitor’s Centre at Balmaha Bay yesterday. Beautiful quote. Love Clarabelle
You are reading this right now because our energies are in alignment, how beautiful is that. Thank you. Love Clarabelle
Happiness
A few years ago I always used to say this quote to people, “It doesn’t matter where you are but who you are with that matters.” Yes, I do feel partly true but as I have become more spiritually aware and grown as a person I would now change that quote to this:
“It doesn’t matter where you are or who you are with, it matters how you are feeling.”
One for you to think about today.
Happiness comes from within and if you are in a super grumpy mood or feeling really low it will not matter where you are or who you are with, it will not change your experience until you change your thinking from within, which then in turn will change how you feel and what you do. Remember this THINK, FEEL, DO in that order.
Wishing you a beautiful day today and I do hope you are feeling positive and uplifted and if you are then I guess you are thinking that way. 🙂
Much love to you Clarabelle
Balmaha Bay
Today I am going to go on a day trip to Balmaha Bay, Balloch, Scotland with my mum and during that trip I am going to be “snap happy” as I will be taking some beautiful photos for my new eBook that’s coming out, “It’s All About Gratitude”. I am excited about doing this and it will also be really lovely to spend a day with my mum.
I love Balmaha Bay, for me it is a place of deep beauty and peaceful tranquility and sometimes this is just what the doctor ordered. 🙂
In 2011 I wrote a poem about Balmaha, I have already shared it on this blog before, but here it is again, just in case you missed it first time round:
Sweet Balmaha Bay
Balmaha, an inspiring place,
Oh how I love, your beautiful face.
The silent lake, speaks many words,
A magical paradise, beneath the flight of birds.
My soul’s at home, when I visit you,
I feel at one, below the sky so blue.
As I tie a yellow ribbon, around the old oak tree,
I appreciate your world, for all to see.
The air is clean, fresh and new,
The shimmering sunlight, makes a stunning view.
And the many boats, who sail in leisure,
Uplifting spirits, you provide great pleasure.
In hail or rain, sunshine or snow,
Your tranquil beauty, will always show.
For the depths of your heart, are in everyone,
Sweet Balmaha Bay under the horizon sun.
Poem By Clarabelle, 2011
Wherever you go today and whatever you do, I do hope it brings you sweet happiness and fulfillment, much love to you Clarabelle. 🙂

Having had tragic circumstances to deal with in my life with the sudden loss of my twin brother, husband and father all within a close space of time, I felt I had to write down some of my thoughts in the form of a poem to try and give me strength to get through such sad times, I feel that poetry helped me express my emotions and hopefully will encourage others to read them and take strength from them to…

Study Tour
In June 2010 I led a small leadership and personal development study tour to New York City. It was such an amazing experience and I learned so much. “Great minds think differently” is a quote that was displayed brightly on an a massive advertising sign in the middle of Times Square and I resonated with it at the time. On the Study Tour, we met up with other leaders and professional coaches whilst over there. We went from Wall Street to Princeton, New Jersey to Westchester to Hoboken to Staten Island, you name it we were there. We also got the wonderful opportunity to sail on my friend’s boat on the Hudson River and I was given a complimentary helicopter ride over the very stunning New York City by another friend of mine. My friend Maritza also got us a private tour around the United Nations building, that was really amazing.
I produced a whole brochure on the experience of leading and participating in the Leadership Study Tour and if you are interested in receiving a complimentary copy, please just email me and I will email it to you claire@murraypeople.com
Energy
The reason I am sharing this with you is because I came across the beginnings of a video I produced from the trip (see below). I always get so much energy from visiting New York City as it holds a very special place in my heart and this is were I also met my first love in 2007. We are not together now, for the right reasons I believe but we still remain distant friends.
In relation to the Youtube video, for anyone who is not familiar with the drink “Irn Bru”, it is a well known and very popular soda drink (pop) here in Bonny Scotland. It is often called Scotland’s Other National Drink!! I took it over for some of my American friends to try, hence Donna’s comment on the video of it tasting like “liquid candy“. 🙂
New York, New York I’ve been there five times now since 2007 and I know I will visit it again, I have many great connections over there and I am sure will be doing some work over there soon.
What place do you like to visit and why? I’d love to know.
May your day today be filled with beautiful loving energy, lots of love, Clarabelle
Magic of Gratitude
I want you to be the first to know that I am in the middle of writing a book on gratitude, entitled “It’s All About Gratitude”. This is an eBook which you will be able to instantly download from Amazon. It will contain a variety of original poems (not already shared on this blog), affirmations, quotes, powerful questions and practical exercises for you to work through on the magic of gratitude. I am excited to have this eBook completed and this will be my fifth eBook to date….I am also currently collaborating with an Associate of mine on another eBook related to the subject of creative visualisation.
Core Values
Gratitude is one of my core values, I practice it everyday in my life and I know I benefit so greatly from it. I want this eBook to encourage others to invite daily gratitude into their lives as I know it can be life changing for individuals.
Watch this space my dearest friends “It’s All About Gratitude” by Clarabelle will be released into the Universe soon for you to enjoy, if you wish,.
May your day today be filled with beautiful thoughts of gratitude, much love to you Clarabelle.
Just for you 🙂
Think Feel Do
I want you to think about this, how do you usually respond to the people and circumstances around you when you are in a low mood? Chances are if you’re anything like me, not very positively. Wouldn’t it be best then to wait until your mood changes to a much more positive mood before you respond to situations. Yes, I know you can’t wait forever because this is life and you will want to be getting on with things, but if you take ‘time’ out of the equation and focus more on changing your thinking about the situation then ‘time’ will not be the main issue……you just have to change your thinking. You see it’s all really about THINK, FEEL, DO – let me explain. Your thinking comes first, which then determines how you feel which is then followed by what you do, so if you don’t like what you’re doing or how you’re feeling change the way you think.
High Mood
I want to encourage you to really think about what you’re thinking before you respond to anything in your life. When you are in a high mood you will be thinking good thoughts and good feelings and behaviour will follow. When you are in a high mood you are much better equipped to tap into your true wisdom and you will find it much easier to come up with the solution to any problems you have.
Hopefully this post will give you some food for thought.
“When you’re in a high mood, life looks good. You have perspective and common sense.” (Richard Carlson)
I encourage you today to think your way out of a low mood and into a high mood, then respond to what needs done, I am sure you will get much better results all round.
Lots of love to you today, as always, Clarabelle.
Motivational
As you know I have been writing a lot of my own songs recently and the first few that I wrote about were love songs and then I went through a phase of writing some more motivational songs. This next song that I share with you below is one of the more motivational songs, it is called “C’mon You”. For those of you who are not familiar with the Scottish banter, “C’mon” means “come on” and in this song it really means “lift yourself up and get a move on, get back in the game”. I hope you like it. So wherever you are today and whatever you are doing I hope you make it a “C’mon You” day. Lots of love to you Clarabelle.
Here are the lyrics for you, so you can sing along if you wish 🙂
C’mon You by Claire Marie Murray 22.07.13
Verse 1
Let me tell you a story
Life may beat you down
But you don’t have to take no more
Just let your spirit shine
Believe in your passion
You can have it all
Show a little compassion
Break down the tough brick wall
Chorus
So C’mon, you can do it
C’mon, this I know
C’mon, yesterday’s over
Oh C’mon you, let’s go
Verse 2
So now I’ve shared my journey
Go and live and your life
Time it will not wait for you
You won’t be living twice
Know that you can do it
You can achieve it all
Hard work will get you through it
Soon you’ll be standing tall
Chorus
So C’mon, you can do it
C’mon, this I know
C’mon, yesterday’s over
Oh C’mon you, let’s go
Bridge
C’mon life aint gonna wait for you
Get back up – you can do
All you put your mind to
When you feel pain, see it through
Chorus (to fade)
So C’mon, you can do it
C’mon, this I know
C’mon, yesterday’s over
Oh C’mon you, let’s go (repeat to fade)
Soul Development
Since January last year I have been making a lot of changes in my life, the inner changes came first and then the outer changes started to happen. I decided that before I made any outer changes I ensured I was happy on the inside first, so I did a lot of work on my “soul development” and I truly feel more like,well, “me”. 🙂
One of the changes that I wanted to make and was genuinely excited to make, was changing my hair colour from black to blonde and I want to share with you a photo of the transformation process (below). I love my new blonde look, it hasn’t made me any happier from within because I was already happy but it has given me a renewed and re-energised feeling – “out with the old and in with the new” and I feel really great.
I love my hairdresser, I think she did a really great job as it has been a long process to get there over a 6 week period, thank you Yvonne Lennon Holton and such a great friend too.
What do you think of my new blonde look?
Inside Changes
I want you to think about this, before you make any external changes in your life think about how happy you feel first on the inside. I urge you to make the inside changes first and then you know that any external changes you make after that, will be an added bonus to your already happy self.
Wishing you a day filled with inner happiness and contentment, lots of love to you today, Clarabelle.
Over the years, I get asked a lot of the time to create bespoke poems for colleagues, friends and family and I am now offering this up as a service to others who wish to benefit from it. I have been working on my own flyer design and I thought I would share it with you today.
I believe that poetry touches the heart in a much more deeper and fulfilling way than a bunch of flowers or box of chocolates could, it is that special gift that lives in the heart of the receiver forever.
I have a simple vision, I want everyone to have a poem, verse or song from Clarabelle because I know it will always come straight from the heart to reach and connect with other hearts. Much love to you today, as always Clarabelle.
Here is a wonderful challenge for you, a challenge that I feel by the end of it you will feel more amazing than ever before. I know when you complete this challenge you will feel much more stronger, abundant, grateful, healthier, richer and happier. This is a challenge for your inner soul to spread its beautiful energy into the Universe and just like a boomerang it will come back to you in abundance.
Here is your 30 day challenge:
Give out 1000 thank yous.
I want you to think about the people and things in your life that you are thankful for and I want you to tell those people and be truly mindful of these things that you are thankful for in your life.
When you are thankful towards a person it not only uplifts their mood, it will also uplift your own, believe me, you will feel so good.
There is a magical power in the power of thank you and it creates a beautiful wave of energy that spreads freely from person to person, creating a domino effect of happiness from within.
It’s up to you how you decide to record your 1000 thank yous but what is most important is that they are meaningful thank yous, please don’t just say them for the sake of it, you must feel deeply from within the gratitude you’re offering out, it must be genuine gratitude.
I will gladly do this challenge with you and below are my first ten 🙂
I really do hope you take on this 30 Day Challenge of 1000 Thank Yous because I really do believe you and others around you will get great benefit from doing this. When you have completed it, I would love to hear all about it. You might want to write an article about it and share it on your own online platform or on this one as Guest Writer – I would really love that.
Thank you for reading this article and thank you for participating in it, I know it will bring you great love and joy.
Lots of love to you today Clarabelle
