Courageous Soul

The courageous soul lives and breathes in your doing

There’s no place I’d rather be than here with you. 🦋

I love writing for you on this Clarabelle blog. I am definitely aligned to my “being” in this writer’s mode.

It feels like “bliss” basking in the fresh morning sunlight, fueling my soul with bright energy and love.

As I write in this moment, I can hear the birds chirping from outside, naturally joyous and free. What a beautiful sound, which, for some reason, seems truly magnified today. I must be aligned to their tune, to hear it with such clarity and momentum.

To be “anything” in this world, you have to do that “thing“. If you want to be a writer, you must write, and not be afraid of what others think – for the courageous soul lives and breathes in your doing.

If you want to be a singer, you must sing, just like the birds chirping away to their happy song.

If you want to be a songwriter, you must write songs and allow that beautiful creativity to dance with your heart.

If you want to be a marathoner, you must run. It takes daily effort and real commitment to do this, but you can do it.

You see, I wanted to be all of these things at certain points in my life and I achieved them by “doing” everyday.

Focus on your wants and needs and take the first step to achieving them.

You will have to be brave and sometimes go against the grain, but, it’s your life to live and nobody else’s.

Who cares if others judge what you’re doing. What matters, is that you’re aligned to your highest self and heartfelt goodness.

I know there are people in my life, who love me very much, and want me to do “other things“. Maybe something that relates more to my 5 years of University studies. No, this is MY LIFE, my choices, my happiness and my dreams. THIS IS ME!

Just because you love someone, it doesn’t give them permission to decide for you – read that one again!

So with the greatest love and respect….You do you and I’ll do me.

What do you truly want for you in your life?

Find a way, and as you move forward on your chosen path, you’ll gain so much more self-confidence and self-respect in doing so.

Make a promise to yourself, to honour your hopes and dreams.

This one’s for you my dearest friend.

Believe. 🦋

As a special thank you to all my blog visitors from around the world, I am dedicating a poem to all the people from each country. USA and India were shared on previous posts and now it’s time to thank all the lovely people from Canada – yes you!!

My Canadian Friends

The red maple leaf,
On your flag.
Represents life,
And my “thank you” tag.
You’ve visited me,
Reading my posts
My Canadians friends,
You’re Perfect hosts.
Many miles we are apart,
Canada might seem far.
But you’re here in my heart.

Growing Fast, Thank You

I Am So Amazed!!

8 days ago I shared with you my absolute delight of reaching 17,000 blog hits but I honestly wasn’t expecting to be updating you again today, yes only 8 days later, now celebrating 18,000 + blog hits – wow, I am so amazed!!

This month in December has been particularly successful for blog visitors and views, with the highest ever number of daily, weekly and monthly stats since the blog’s birth in April 2012.

Rapid Increase

I have noticed that the Search Engines seem to be finding my blog more, which I feel is the biggest reason for the rapid increase and I am so glad people are liking my posts too. This just inspires me even more and more to keep going and sharing meaningful posts with you from my creative spirit, heart and soul.

So I offer up to you a massive thank YOU for being here, it just wouldn’t be the same without YOU.

Big Plans

I have big plans for this Clarabelle Blog and I am so delighted that it is going from strength to strength, for what once started out as a hobby and a “nice thing to do” is evolving into something really magical for me and hopefully for you.

My Heart to You

This is my life project and I will continue to inspire as much as I can through this blog and I do hope you will continue on this beautiful and exciting journey with me because every time I post, it gives a little piece of my heart to you.

Love to you, Clarabelle
