Stand strong my friend
The curve balls keep coming!
Stand strong my friend.
Bit by bit, inch by inch, you’ll get there.
Know where “there” is.
It’s never a straight road, mine is always bumpy but keep going, no matter the weather.
Believe that you’ve got this.
You must BELIEVE.
That’s why I love you.

Grow like a flower
When the night is rough,
and the winds blow wild,
remember your heart,
your inner child.
For as tough as it seems,
when all doors are shut,
and it feels like life,
is stuck in a rut.
Choose thoughts of greatness,
decide to embrace,
the challenges of today,
and the dreams you do chase.
Live in the light,
follow the sun,
grow like a flower,
your time will come.
~Clarabelle
Live in the light, today and everyday.

Anything is possible
I’m all for giving anything and everything a go. I have a high level of entrepreneurial spirit, mixed with self-belief and it’s a winning combination to get anywhere in life.
I however, have enough life experience and insightfulness to know when I need a project strategy review.
I’ve been six months into a new project and I’m first to admit when progress is slow – too slow for my liking.
So, I did a full review of what’s working, what’s not and what new adaptations I need to make. It takes honest and brutal self-criticism, but I’m okay with that because it’s my dreams I’m going for, not someone else’s.
When I share my slow progress with my family, they basically tell me to “throw in the towel“. I know they are just trying to protect me and it comes from love – but that’s never an option for me.
You see, I’m not a quitter, never have been, never will be, especially when it comes to achieving my own dreams and goals in life.
I’ve run four marathons and that takes pure guts and determination – I’ll never quit the good path.
I am delighted to share that a few weeks ago I started to apply the new strategy and it’s all going my way. Hard to believe at times, but it just goes to show, anything is possible, if you make a strong commitment to “making it happen“.
If things aren’t going your way right now, take a break, re-evaluate and step up your game – there’s no better way!
Remember, and this is an important one – stay on the path that feels right for you – not what anyone else wants you to do.
You will gain real inner power and self-confidence when you stand up for your dreams.
I believe in YOU – I really do!
Don’t stop – make a temporary pause and come back stronger than ever.
You’ve got this!
I know you know.

Today’s post is a very special dedication to thanking YOU for being here and supporting this Clarabelle Blog with your valued presence, good energy and kind thoughts.
I love to write for us both and as you probably know, a lot of the time, I’m talking to myself in these posts – trying to give you and me some needed words of encouragement.
Life doesn’t run perfectly at all – we have good days, we have bad days and everything else in between but if I can cheer you up or ignite some inner motivation whilst you’re here – then that’s what makes my day.
So, THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH for spending your precious time reading my posts and I really do hope they offer you some true value in your life.
We’re all in this together and it’s important to support to each other.
THANK YOU MY FRIEND, THANK YOU ONE AND ALL.

Embrace the right kind of change
Don’t get stuck in your head with negative thinking and over analysing. If you really really want to do something, I know you WILL make it happen. On the other hand, if you say you really want to do something but nothing is getting done about it, you’ve really got to look at that.
There are many reasons why you would want to do something but just don’t and this inaction may be related to some sort of inner FEAR.
You see, I’m there right now. I really really want to do something but I have a HUGE fear of it not working out and this fear comes from experiencing this pain a number of times in the past. So what am I doing about this? Well, I am taking every lesson from the past failures and making changes ever so slowly, rather than just jumping in, which I have done every time before.
I’m not frightened of change, actually I embrace the right kind of change but taking baby steps towards the progression of this change is a better option for me.
I’m learning to move forward but in a different way. This type of movement helps me become more patient, disciplined and consistent with my daily action.
Please don’t stay stuck, it’s a miserable place to be in. Take a look at what tiny changes you can make everyday to help you on your new path.
We’re all in this together and that’s why I do what I do. I just love sharing words of encouragement with you – we all need a little bit of that.
I know you really really want to – so start doing something about it today.

Self-belief can take you places
Good day to you and happy Thursday – it’s Poetry Corner day today, so a very warm welcome to you.
Explore the wisdom in your mind.
A gasp for air,
thirsty for life,
battling the storms,
of trouble and strife.
A messy mind,
a broken heart,
stuck in the moment,
where do you start?
Believe in you,
the strength within,
your beautiful heart,
desire to win.
For self-belief,
can you take you places,
flying high,
amongst smiling faces.
You can do it,
know this is true,
have faith in yourself,
and your dreams too.
Your inner wisdom,
will show you the way,
a new you is born,
believe in you today.

Pick yourself up, get ready to fight.
This war ain’t over, so don’t you flight.
I have come across a lot of very beautiful people recently, people who are full of love, light, passion and happiness. I dedicate this next poem to the three people I am thinking about in particular, and their first names all being with the letter “A”. I will call them my three “Angels”, may you continue to bless hearts with your love, you truly are beautiful people. Whatever you are doing today, may you spread a little happiness and love around you. Much love to you, as always, Clarabelle
Beautiful People
I have a happy little feeling, dancing inside;
Beautiful people, are being my guide.
Their love is shining, brightly on me;
Giving me hope, filling me with glee.
***
So when love knocks on your door, greet it with light;
It will sparkle so magically, all through the night.
Uplifting your soul, touching your heart;
A special connection, the missing part.
***
For life is a jigsaw, the puzzle is you;
Once you’ve mastered yourself, dreams can come true.
To share your spirit, with another one;
Unleashes new energy, embrace the sun.
The rainbow is real, a miracle sign;
Thank you loving angels, you are truly divine.

Challenges are a blessing, they make us stronger from within, although at the time it doesn’t really feel that way. Courage will always find you, please have faith and know in your heart of hearts that set backs make us dig deeper and a new opportunity awaits for you. May you create the right opportunity for you in your life today. Much love to you Clarabelle.
Courage Will Always Find You
Have patience my dear, for all is well;
I see it for your future, I hear its jingle bell.
For just around the corner, is a beautiful light;
Waiting for the darkness, so it can shine on you so bright.
Challenges are a blessing, they make us who we are;
Welcome them with open arms, jump upon the star.
Courage will always find you, be brave and carry on;
Just because you cannot see it, doesn’t mean all hope has gone.
Trust in your heart, have faith in all that’s here;
This path that you are on, is quite simply crystal clear.
This encouraging little message, is especially for you;
It brings peace and loving thoughts, to make you stronger through and through.
