your every why
Feelings have power, feelings can speak, feelings can take you, to the mountain peak. Feelings can hurt, feelings can breathe, feelings can lead you, so you can achieve. Feelings are precious, feelings are true, feelings will determine, every part of you. Feelings can unite, feelings can fly, feelings can control, your every why. Feelings are unique, feelings are you, feelings are loving, can you feel me too?

I set you free
I tried so hard, to win your heart, I gave it my all, right from the start. I guess you didn't, want that too, I felt your resistance, through and through. So I moved on, then you came back, for another go, to get on the right track. My soul felt heavy, for this buried hurt, cannot be separated, from cold dirt. I set you free, to live and learn, deep true love, you have to earn. It takes respect, trust and forgiving, loyalty and smiles, the same joint vision. Goodbye my precious, may you find your one, to my dreams on the horizon every mile I run. by Clarabelle 3 November 2021 London, UK
this is your call
Do not try to be loved, for that force never wins, opening up your heart, is where attraction begins. Do not try to be wanted, for this wonderful you, is unique and special, for the right person too. Do not try to be liked, for you have it all, talented and beautiful, this is your call. Do not try to be something, you never want to be, always stay you, enjoy being "me". By Clarabelle 2 November 2021 London, UK
a miracle glowing
What is love, without surprise, a caring thought, heartfelt eyes. What is kindness, without the giving, touching lives, soulful living. What is forgiveness, without a prayer, sharing you, unique and rare. What is gratitude, without the knowing, a thankful bond, a miracle glowing. What is here, without your presence, healing time, your very essence. by Clarabelle 1 November 2021 London, UK
give life your all
When the wild wind blows, and you're down on your knees, begging for mercy, praying for please. Lift your head high, stand up tall, break down those barriers, give life your all. Many would hope, for your inner strength, running on empty, but going every length. Your champion heart, can carry you forever, up the highest mountain, across each raging river. See yourself winning, battling each storm, building the new, challenging the norm. by Clarabelle 29 October 2021 London, UK
forever inspiring
You're the Star, that shines so bright, giving me hope, bringing me light. You're the Star, in my heart, forever inspiring, igniting each part. You're the Star, strong in power, fading the darkness, sparkling each hour. You're the Star, soulful in time, guiding to goodness, simply divine. By Clarabelle 28 October 2021 London, UK

She said, “be brave”.
Today she dreams of what will be her vibrant heart beating free. Her thoughts they shine beneath the sun glowing brightly in everyone. When it was dark in pasts gone by she battled her way she challenged her why. She said "be brave" be the one who strives to make it until it's done. No other path could take her where the heavens opened soul stripped bare. She gives her mind to this cause silence in love kind self-applause. She raised her spirit embraced inner beauty to achieve her purpose she made it her duty. By Clarabelle 19 October 2021
How’s your energy this fine day?
Good Monday morning to wonderful you.
Sometimes we slow down in our progress because of our misdirected energy. What do I mean by this?
Well, when our focus is out of alignment and our core values are not being honoured on a daily basis, our energy takes a different path or indeed a different form.
Think about what “doings” give you the greatest life energy and direct your focus more into that.
I was so excited this morning to write to you in this blog and that’s a very good example of where my energy needs to be.
As you move through your Monday, may you channel your energy in the right direction.
Create your day from the heart and your energy will be in abundance.
How’s your energy this fine day?
Love to you,
CLARABELLE 🦋
“remember your strength….”
“My love for writing to you, brings us so much closer together.” Clarabelle
Castaway troubles
live in the light
beauty is being
sunny and bright.
Now is your chance
to forgive and move on
your rainbow of love
awakens a new dawn.
When midnight calls
and dark skies appear
remember your strength
why you are here.
Your future is glowing
shining from your heart
tomorrow brings treasures
but today you must start.

“A time to listen,
a time to reflect,
nothing is real,
nothing perfect.”
I wrote this for you today, in the moment and captivated by the feeling….
LIFE AS WE KNOW IT
Across the seas,
I feel your smile,
heaven opens,
the rainbow mile.
A time to listen,
a time to reflect,
nothing is real,
nothing perfect.
Life as we know it,
will pass you by,
tick tock goes the clock,
no reasons why.
So cherish the good days,
embrace the rain,
it’s in moments like these,
we castaway pain.
Today just savour,
the clouds moving slow,
to your dreams in your heart,
let that love glow.

I wrote this last year for YOU.
You can also listen to the audio speech here:
Who Are You? You are special, a person with a heart, a loving heart, a soul, a singing soul, a spirit, a happy spirit. You have dreams, great, great, dreams. You have plans, big, big, plans. You have faith, strong faith in the mystery of the unknown and YOU BELIEVE.
You believe with every part of your being that only magnificence lies before you. You have a unique power that goes beyond the impossible. You have an energy that attracts true abundance to you. You are alive and are grateful for all that you are and for all that you are becoming.
You can create magic around you because you breathe and do with passion, every baby step that you take on this journey of life.
The miracle of all miracles is in you and in every path you come across. Every heart that you touch, every soul that you inspire, every star that you catch and every rainbow that protects you from the storms.
You are at one with yourself, in the silence of all silences your spirit shines and your light guides you out of the darkness.
You fly, you soar, you reach for the mountain top and when you get there, you 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.

If you think this will help someone, please please share. Thank you.
Yesterday I was doing some singing practice at home and I video recorded the NEW version of my original song, “Yes You Can” for you. This motivational song with empowering lyrics has a “Country Music” vibe to it and this song will be on my second EP entitled, “You Can Do It”. Below is a YouTube video of me singing the song yesterday and here is a taster of the lyrics for you:
Wishing you a “Yes You Can” Day, lots of love, Clarabelle
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2013 annual report for this blog. Thank you, love Clarabelle
Here’s an excerpt:
The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 15,000 times in 2013. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 6 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.
Click here to see the complete report.
At the beginning of every month I pose a question for you to think about and answer for yourself. I also provide you with my own answer to this question. Below is this month’s question.
Usually I offer you up a question that relates to moving forward with your life for e.g. making a change or a question that will help you to become more self aware. This month’s question is a little bit more simple (well, for me) 🙂 .
What is your most favourite piece of music or song, right now, in this moment and why?
I really do love lots of songs and music compilations, I have a deep respect and appreciation for music and I really do admire the musical talents of Artists.
The one song that I have been listening to recently and really does inspire me, is a song called “Try” by the Band “The Modern Hearts”. I really LOVE this song, because I can relate to the words, which uplift me, inspire me and awaken my soul inside….to me, this song is quite simply magical and captivating. When I play this song, I want to dance, I just start jumping and moving around on the living room floor like a 2 year old on Christmas Eve excitedly waiting for Santa to arrive. What an amazing impact a song can have on you.
Here is a SoundCloud link to the wonderfully inspiring song “Try” by the Band “The Modern Hearts”, right now, this song is number one in my heart and soul: https://soundcloud.com/modernheart/try
I would really love to know what is your favourite song and why and also what positive impact it has on you too?
Please share on the comments section below. 🙂 🙂 🙂

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?”
Ponder, Think, Reflect
I am 10 weeks into my 16 week marathon training programme and my long runs at the weekend can be quite challenging. Yesterday, I had to do a 16 mile run, this took me about 2 hours and 45 minutes. I stopped taking music with me on these runs and I now use the time to ponder, think and reflect on whatever comes up for me at that time – very often these thoughts turn into a blog post, just like today.
Carfin
My running routes are through my local town and often take me into other connecting villages and towns. Yesterday I found myself running in the village of Carfin that I was brought up in and where my mum lives.
Whilst running up hill towards my mum’s home I thought about the times when I visit her and then a sad thought came over me, one day I will not be visiting my mum in her home, because one day my mum and just like the rest of us will not be here. I didn’t ponder this for too long because I didn’t want to make myself feel too sad. I suppose that is life and that is the reality of it all but it did make me think about me really wanting to spend quality time with my mum whilst she is here and whilst I live so close to her. I then immediately thought of all the nice things we could do together, places we could go and visit, conversations we could have, holidays we could go on…..lots of special time together. So I now have a little plan of action to put all of this into place.
Loved Ones
Sometimes in life without even realising it we can take our loved ones for granted, especially when everything is going well with their health etc.. My run towards my mum’s house yesterday made me really think about that, I want to spend as much quality time with my mum as I can and I will and I look forward to sharing those lovely fun stories with you on this blog.
If this post has made you think about a loved one, please give them a phone, visit them, drop them an email or text…..just connect with them and let them know you are thinking about them and are there for them, it will make you and that person feel great today.
Wishing you a beautiful day filled with love and happiness, Clarabelle
At the beginning of every month I give you a question to ponder and considering answering for yourself and I also share my own answer with you. Below is this month’s question:
Question:
When was the last time you laughed and I mean like a good old “belly laugh”?
My Answer:
I honestly do laugh every day, however the last time I remember having a good old “belly laugh” was when I visited my mum recently for a cup of tea, we were having a nice chat and she said something that surprised me, it was so unexpected I could not stop laughing and because I was laughing so much she couldn’t stop laughing either. I am even laughing thinking about it now.
Life can be oh too serious at times and sometimes you just need to laugh out loud, go on have a laugh with your friends today, watch a funny movie or listen to your favourite comedian, whatever it is just you make sure you laugh then I know you will feel amazing.
May this month of August be filled with sweet laughter for you.
Love Clarabelle
Here is a wee poem I wrote last week, STOP that inner critic, pick up a penny, hold it close to your heart, make a wish and pass the penny on……..now believe that your wish will come true, MAKE your wish come true. Wishing you wonderful moments of fulfilled wishes. Love Clarabelle
Wish Upon a Penny
I listen in the silence, sweet birdies do sing
Should I turn on the TV and drown out their din
I will ignore their calling, just for a while
I’ve a busy mind, chores they do pile
The sun it may shine, but my head’s in a cloud
A storm is brewing, amongst this crowd
I’m strangled in frustration, fighting the war
No one sees me and my internal decor
To just get by, another day,
Gives me hope, paves the way
Then Lightning strikes, STOP, look at your life
Look at your reactions, creating this strife
Sing another song, dance to another tune
Darkness will fade, here comes the moon
See the beauty, in each moment now
Look in the mirror, don’t ask how
Be grateful for your riches, you have many
Create a new you, wish upon a penny

Sometimes we all need a little bit of motivation to help us see through the day, when times are tough, sometimes you can be uplifted by hearing the right words. I wrote this song last week which is all about being in “Yes You Can” mode and funnily enough I called it “Yes You Can”. I have created the melody and just need to work on the backing track and getting it recorded but I thought I would share the words here with you today. Wishing you a day filled with positive self belief, because “YES YOU CAN”. Love Clarabelle
Yes You Can
Verse 1
You may not win them all
But you can win the fight
You won’t win all hearts
In the heat of the night
But protect what you’ve got
Cos you’ve got such a lot
Feel in your soul
The mountain top goal
Chorus
Yes you can
Yes you can
And you will
Get up that hill
And you will fly
Across the sky
And you will soar
Let your spirit roar
Oh yes you can
Verse 2
You may want to let go
But believe in your heart
You should never feel low
Don’t let dreams fall apart
So protect all of you
Cos you’re human too
Experience life
Forget trouble strife
Chorus
Yes you can
Yes you can
And you will
Get up that hill
And you will fly
Across the sky
And you will soar
Let your spirit roar
Oh yes you can
Bridge
Keep your dreams alive
For you are oh so special
Let your happy spirit thrive
Have strength and be strong
This is where your heart belongs
Chorus (to fade)
Yes you can
Yes you can
And you will
Get up that hill
And you will fly
Across the sky
And you will soar
Let your spirit roar
Oh yes you can
SongsbyClarabelle, 11 July 2013
Click here to listen to Clarabelle singing “Yes You Can”.
Today I have been in creative mode, I have written two inspirational songs so far and I am very pleased with the outcome. The songs are entitled “YES YOU CAN” and “YOU ARE THE KEY”, once I have had my songs registered with BMI and recorded on YouTube I will share them with you on this blog.
I am excited to share these songs because I believe that if you are having a tough day and you then listen to these songs, I am hoping the lyrics will connect with you in some way and uplift your spirits. We all need a little morale boost now and again and I feel the essence of these two songs is all about that.
Make today be a “YES YOU CAN” day for you because “YOU ARE THE KEY” to turning your life around for the better.
Wishing you a day filled with happiness and joy, love Clarabelle.
Gratitude has such a magical power, it is more powerful than you could ever imagine, it has the power to change you from within and in doing so change the environment around you. Feel very blessed for everything you have in your life right now, deliberately be grateful for it all, you will then know what I am talking about because you too will be holding the magic in your heart.
I am forever grateful to you for reading these posts and joining me on the path of gratitude.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Lots of love Clarabelle 🙂
I am waiting on a colleague to call me this morning and during this tranquil time before we speak I thought I would write a little poem, because I feel I haven’t shared a poem on here for a while. So here is what poured out of my being, it took less than 60 seconds to create, so I guess I must be connected to the right sources for this to happen – this is creative flow at its very best. I hope you enjoy, lots of love to you today, Clarabelle.
Take Your First Flight
The experience of life, will make you strong,
Your spirit will uplift you, to where you belong.
All is whole, truth and more,
Welcome the world, open the door.
A grateful heart, will always smile,
Magical moments, are felt for a while.
And as the curtain falls, and the audience moves on,
Stand there tall, for you have not gone.
Your soul is forever, it sparkles and shines,
Listen to, its beautiful chimes.
Take your frequency, as high as a kite
The Universe is waiting, take your first flight.
poemsbyclarabelle, 13 June 2013
You may remember a few weeks back I blog posted for the very first time a YouTube video of me singing one of my original songs “I Am Here”.
This has been a dream of mine since I was a child to be a successful songwriter but I never did anything about it until now…..over 30 years later!! I have a strong inner belief in my creative talents so I just started writing to different music production and publishing companies to get their feedback on my lyrics/songs. I am so excited because I received some really positive feedback this evening from a company in Nashville who I wrote to no less than 24 hours ago, here is what they said about my song:
Claire,
I hope you’re having a good day. I’ve had a chance to review your lyric, “I Am Here”. Please see review below.
“I Am Here”: You have good rhyme through out the lyric which creates good rhythm which makes the song flow well. You have good imagery and description as you use your words to paint the scenes and bring the song to life. You’ve captured and expressed the emotions well as you can feel the love, hope, strength, longing, wonder etc… This is important b/c emotion is how people connect with music. The subject matter is strong as well as the length, song structure and verse/chorus format.
“I Am Here” is a lyric we’d be interested in working with you on.
The reason I am sharing this with you is because I want to use myself as a real life, in the moment, example. I want YOU to never let go of your childhood dreams, believe in your abilities and talents and put your energy out there……the Universe WILL respond, believe that, I am living proof of that.
Now, I have no idea what will happen with my songwriting career going forward, but all I know now, is that this has truly inspired me to keep going and going and going and going. By me putting my energy out there and getting that response this evening, it has given me even more motivation, drive and enthusiasm to carry on and make it happen for myself. I will absolutely keep you posted on developments.
Remember, YOU are a miracle already, YOU have the magic inside of you to dream big but also to turn that dream into a reality…..PUT YOUR ENERGY OUT THERE!!
Much love to you as always, follow your dreams that you hold in your heart, Clarabelle.
A little bit of inspiration goes a long long way. I came across this YouTube video a few weeks back, you may already have seen it but I feel I just had to share it on here, it is very empowering indeed. Arthur in the video is such a true inspiration to each and everyone of us, may his story inspire you to take on what others see as the “impossible”.
Much love to you in this very moment, we all need a little bit of love to come our way, Clarabelle.
Welcome to this month’s question. Every month I ask you a question to reflect upon and answer for yourself, I also share my own answer with you.
I have just returned from a lovely and fun filled holiday with 9 of my childhood friends, it was a bachelorette (hen) party holiday for my wonderful friend Michelle who gets married in 2 weeks time.
Whilst there I came across this wonderful little cafe called ‘Passion for Life’, I love it because its menu is full of organic, healthy, natural wholefoods and I fell in love with their ‘After Eight’ healthy protein shake…..yummy. The cafe was such a lovely environment to sit in, because it has little inspirational pictures and photographs displayed on its walls. The reason I am sharing this is because it has a “Question of the Day Chalk Board” and I took a photograph of the board so I could use their question to share with you today.
Question: “When was the last time, you did something for the first time?”
My answer: Lately I have being doing a lot of things for the first time so I will share with you one of the things I did this morning for the first time. I am really big on gratitude at the moment, I am so very grateful for everything I have in my life right now, I really am. I have just started reading the book, “The Magic” by Rhonda Byrne, I love this book because it helps you to deliberately focus on what you are truly grateful for each day and night. Today, for this first time, I did practical exercise for day 1, which was to, “count my blessings”, I had to write down 10 of them and the reason why, honestly it felt so good to do this.
I will leave you with that Question for the month of June and maybe you will also want to count your blessings too, it really will make you feel so good.
Thank you for reading my posts, I really do treasure you being here, I have been reflecting a lot whilst being away on holiday and I have some truly amazing posts to follow very soon.
Much love to you today as always and thank you from the core of my heart, Clarabelle.
How Did I Get Here?
I feel light today, free from unnecessary pressures and unwanted stress. I feel at one with myself, I feel like I am floating in the goodness of the Universe. I feel as light as the air I breathe in, I feel calmness and full of gratitude. How did I get here, to this magical place, to this beautiful feeling of oneness and wellbeing? I do believe I unlocked my heart, let go of the ego and brought myself back to me. It has taken a while, almost 40 years but I got there, not in the end but in the beginning, for I have arrived, once again!! This next poem poured out of my soul this morning, may it bring you a touch of what you need in your life right now. Lots of love Clarabelle
Destiny
My heart moves, slowly towards the light;
Into the unknown, it’s shining bright.
Destiny decided, this is where you’ll be;
A dance step forward, I’m feeling free.
I take pleasure in this ride, it just feels right;
My soul is blessed, beneath the stars and moonlight.
I thank you Universe, you’ve did me good;
My spirits are high, I have deep gratitude.
To enter the unknown, and all its mystery
Keeps me alive in this moment, without the history.
So I treasure this day, the time is NOW;
Sunsets and butterflies, make me feel WOW!!
poemsbyclarabelle, 25 May 2013
Winning starts NOW, not yesterday, not tomorrow, not one hour from now, WINNING STARTS NOW!! Go, Go, Go!! This next poem is inspired by just that. May you keep on winning today, love Clarabelle.
Winning Starts Now
To win in your heart, will keep you alive;
Do your best, grow and thrive.
It’s not about the past, that’s forever gone;
Rise with the sun, from dusk til dawn.
Winning is now, feel it from within;
Strive to be better, for you just win.
Keep motivation high, do what you say;
Live in this moment, live for today.
People will come, people will go;
Truth never leaves you, this I know.
Keep focus strong, create all you can;
Abundance will follow, every woman and man.

Growing from Within
I am very heavily into my own self development and as I feel myself growing from within I feel it is stripping back built up beliefs that don’t serve me well and returning me back to who I really am. I am very aware of this change happening within me and I feel the dreams I had as a child, which I let go of for 30 years, finding their way back to me – like an inner calling with drive and purpose.
Here is what I AM becoming more aware of each day in my life:
5 WORDS
I read books, I read a lot of books and I take different bits and pieces of the knowledge from these books and apply them to what feels right for me. I don’t always believe everything I read, however I am very much open to what others have to say and value their thoughts and contributions. I know I am becoming a better person, a better version of me, I know I am the healthiest I have ever been in my whole life and I am that I am. Those last 5 words of the preceding sentence “I AM THAT I AM” this for me is very powerful, I felt and believed that before I even read about the Power of I AM. I am using “I AM” in my thoughts everyday, it makes a special connection with me and I feel its power. Below is an example of what I AM and what I say to myself everyday now (this list is not exhaustive):
I AM love
I AM inspiration
I AM a wonderfully creative and full of imagination
I AM a successful poet
I AM super healthy
I AM positive energy and colourfully vibrant
I AM happy and fulfilled
I AM a Marathoner
I AM super confident
I AM super rich in the fullness of life
I AM inspiring hearts all over the world
I AM a very successful blogger
I AM the very best Coach and Mentor
I AM a successful music producer and singer/songwriter
I AM wonderfully happy in my new home and environment
I AM prosperous and attract all that I want into my life
I AM beautiful
I AM THAT I AM and I have every faith in the Power of I AM
The above feels right for me and I would encourage you to apply the Power of I AM in your daily life, however, ONLY if you feel it purely connects with you, you feel it touch and inspire your inner being, I am a great believer that what works for me, doesn’t always work for you. This works for me but if it doesn’t connect and work for you, something else will and it will find you.
May you be inspired today to find out that very thing that connects and works for you. Much love to you today, Clarabelle
Explosive
I am a great believer that creativity and imagination are two of the key components to a happy and fulfilling life and when you combine this with truth, love, passion, inspiration and connectedness you get something that is really “explosive”, internally and externally. I am sure we have all experienced our dancing minds playing a “tug-of-war” with our heart-strings – lately I have been letting my heart win and my inner spirit is running joyously free.
Creative Mode
Moving out of competitive mode and into creative mode has lifted my being to another level and I feel truly liberated. This transition has led me to create the beginnings of my first ever music album, entitled “Divine Harmony”, a compilation of inspirational music that talks to your soul, sings to your heart and connects with your mind in a magnetic manner. I have now produced 8 musical tracks so far, let me tell you a little bit about each one:
Track 1: “Running Free” – This musical piece tells the story of “returning to your soul”, it takes you through a journey of life experiences that have went from deep sadness and loss to letting go, breaking free and arriving at who you really are. It is ultimately upbeat and uplifting.
Track 2: “Hearts Apart” – I wrote this musical piece based on some recent news that my Sister, Brother-in-Law, Nephew and Nieces are all emigrating to Mississippi next month. This musical compilation tells of the heart-warming story of my deep love for them as they travel on their own journey of happiness and adventure.
Track 3: “Moving On” – This creative piece is ultimately about love – being, doing and having love. It is about letting go of past loves and opening your heart to new loves now and in the future. It is a very moving and touching musical story and I had someone special in mind when writing this musical piece.
Track 4: “Inspiring Hearts” – This track is a part of who I am, it shares the story of my passion and desire to inspire hearts all over the world. The music aims to connect with ones soul and deeply move them in an inspirational and motivational way.
Track 5: “Flight of the Blue Butterfly” – This musical composition tells the story of the stages of healing towards ultimate freedom of heart, soul, mind and spirit. The blue butterfly is very significant for me and you can see it pictured as part of my Clarabelle logo. This harmonious musical piece aims to move you in a peaceful and spiritual way.
Track 6: “Happiness Now” – This track is a musical compilation of what it sounds like to me to experience happiness in each and every moment. It will help you to open up your heart to the whispers of your soul and see and feel the beauty in each precious moment of life. Beauty is all around us and this track is a unique representation of that.
Track 7: “Coming Home” – This musical piece tells the story of my self-journey to being at one with oneself. It shares the realisation that the answers were always there, from within. It is a musical expression of who I am and all I ever need to be. In this artistic creation, “I have arrived”.
Track 8: “I Am” – This track is a musical celebration of the soul, the artistic expression of knowing that I always knew and trusting the feelings from within. It is an uplifting and moving musical piece that will surely touch your inner being.
Clarabelle “Divine Harmony”
There will be 13 tracks in total on the album and I aim to have it fully completed by 6 May 2013. The album will be registered and uploaded to iTunes for immediate purchase. I will also have it available to purchase in CD format. Purchase price is £5.00.

Something Magical Happened
And just when she was about to give up, something magical happened, just like she always believed, exactly how she had envisioned it and precisely what she had written down. It had always been there, but she didn’t see it at first……then when she opened her heart, all was revealed.
Be Prepared
Trust in the absolute power of the universe, have faith that everything will work out just the way it is supposed to and know that every false start gets you closer to your goal. Be prepared as much as you can, because when lighting strikes and it surely will, I want you to be ready, to be at your very best, to embrace each opportunity and share the wisdom that grows from this life changing experience.
And as you go forward on this journey of life……
May your imagination shine like the sun,
May your intuition guide you like the North Star,
May your soul sparkle in the moonlight,
May your happy spirit, take your breath away and
May your heart dance on the waves of love.

How do you know when you are happy, I mean really really happy? This next poem is inspired by some thoughts around that question. I do hope you are feeling happy today, even if you just get in touch with your own inner happiness for a moment, right now, it will give you an instant boost. Much love and smiles to you today. Clarabelle
How Do You Know?
How do you know, when a heart speaks with truth?
What does it tell you, in the telephone booth?
Open the secret, share it with your soul,
It’s the ultimate path, to make you feel whole.
Happiness is here, happiness is now,
Applaud each moment, take a bow.
No matter if sunshine, no matter if rain,
Break down the barriers, to feel at one again.

The heart doesn’t just beat, it dances, it sings, it smiles, it listens, it guides and nurtures too, and if you listen deeply to the music it plays, it will nourish your soul forever. For indeed the heart is like a full orchestra creating unique musical vibrations that can only be understood by you, that is why it is so important to silence your mind and listen to your heart. Dance to the sound of your inner music, this next inspirational quote is for you. Love Clarabelle.
“Listen to the sound of my heart,
for each note that it plays,
strengthens my love for you.”
(Clarabelle)

Happy Mother’s Day
It is Mother’s Day here in the UK and I want to send out a beautiful blessing to all the wonderful Mother’s out there, who bring much love and abundance to this world. This next poem is dedicated to my own beautiful mum, to your mum too and indeed, if you are a mum. Wishing you a very special day filled with love. Clarabelle
A Mother in a Million
Mother you are so beautiful, in every single way,
You brighten up each moment, and listen to what I say.
Your love is so very special, to each and everyone,
You’re a mother in a million, stronger than the sun.
I love you so dearly, more than you’ll ever know,
Thank you my wonderful mother, your wisdom has helped me grow.
The “roots determine the fruits”, what does this mean? It means that if you work on the root of a problem rather than the symptom you can create everlasting change. Nourish the root with love, that’s what my next inspirational quote for you is all about. May your day be filled with love and encouragement, Clarabelle.
“True beauty is within the seed,
nourish it with love,
and then love will grow.”
(Clarabelle)
You are the miracle of your life, you are the magic, welcome it with open arms, embrace each moment as an opportunity to be a better version of you. This next inspirational quote by me is all about that. Wishing you a magical day, love Clarabelle.
“The silent lake speaks many words,
true magic comes from within you.”
(Clarabelle)
This is a post I wrote for another business blog in 2011, I came across it today and thought I would share it with you, there may be some value in it for you and please feel free to share away. I wish you a day filled with opportunities for the taking, it’s your life, go get it!! Clarabelle.
An Exciting Challenge
I was on the phone to my business partner Debbie and we were talking about ‘change’, for me ‘change is opportunity’. Why do I say this? Well as much as some of us might dread the thought of change, I absolutely love it and find it an exciting challenge. I don’t want to sit in my ‘comfort zone’ all my life, it is important for me to get out there, embrace new challenges and live life. If I fail, well I feel I have only learned some great lessons that will strengthen me as a person.
I was sent this wonderful quote last night by my friend Stephen, “if we never fail at anything we are not being adventurous enough” by Peter Huntley, MD of Go North East buses, what a truly wonderful quote that is. I would rather try and fail 1000 times than not try at all. Determination, persistence, passion, consistency, self-discipline and never giving up is the qualities that I feel will get me everywhere. We all know the famous saying ‘Rome wasn’t built in a day’ so I would also throw in some ‘love and patience’ to this amazing mix of ingredients.
What I would say however is that to make change happen you need to know exactly your answers to the following questions:
Change is a choice and once you make that full commitment to change anything in your life you must take ‘MASSIVE ACTION’ to initiate the process. When you start taking meaningful action towards your change goal you will get more and more motivated by the results you start to see – the fruits of your labour.
To change effectively and for the long term you must start at the core, with the root “the roots determine the fruits”. That means change the way you think, which will change the way you feel and ultimately this will change your behaviours and it is in what you do that will help you get real results.
So make that decision today, challenge yourself, be open, flexible and adaptable to change, welcome it with open arms and express who you really are because the only constant in life is change and if you stand still, I believe you are actually going backwards, as others make changes to drive ahead they will most definitely overtake you – so don’t be left for dust, change is opportunity NOW!!

Who is She?
I write with ‘she’ in mind. Who is she? What can she become? What does she dream about? What hopes are in her heart? What happiness does she bring to others? What if she just lived? What if she became alive, right now, in this moment? What wonders would she bring to this world? “She” may be you, “She”, may be me. Who is she? This next poem is inspired by just that. May the beauty of each day, shine in your soul forever. Much love to you today, Clarabelle
Dreams in her Soul
She writes with love, she writes with light;
Early in the morning, and last thing at night.
She opens her heart, to everyone;
Sharing her secrets, thinking of fun.
A happy soul, she shares it with glee;
Positive thoughts, changing me.
Hope is on the horizon, look up to the sun;
Shadows paint a pathway, over where she has run.
Beauty is in her heartbeat, shining afar;
Smiles last forever, and wherever you are.
She is a miracle, a symbol of life;
Forgotten are her days, of trouble and strife.
Her life has moved on, she dances alive;
Dreams in her soul, love in her heart does thrive.

It’s almost 4am, I haven’t slept yet, I hear the birds chirping outside, they sound very happy indeed….I have this urge to write, not sure what will come out of my soul at these early hours of the morning but here goes……my heart speaks to you. Much love and light to you today, Clarabelle.
Now…what is now?
Now….what is now? I smile;
Peace, love, openness, for a while.
Moved by hearts, touched with care;
Self-expression, take me there.
And if I go, if my time has come;
I know my journey has helped someone.
They write to me, tell me it all;
The footprints of my friends, walking tall.
For in this moment now, I’m alive inside;
Filled with hope, beaming with pride.
You’re never alone, in this physical space;
I hear your cry, I see your face.
The wonders of the world, mesmerize me;
My mind has stopped thinking, the heart is the key.
So hold onto your hat, as the wind blows your way;
Challenges are a plenty, but tomorrow is not today.
Embrace the music, sing the song;
Be at one in this moment, it’s where you belong.

Sometimes a few simple words share a whole lot of meaning. The next poem may be short and sweet but the silence between each line speak many heartfelt words. Wishing you a beautiful day, Clarabelle.
Happy and Bright
Beauty is love;
Beauty is light.
Feel it in your soul;
Happy and bright.

Respond with Love
I often feel that when I don’t act with love it puts me out of balance, let me give you an example. Recently I received a message from someone, which I didn’t like the tone of, I waited for a little while before I responded, but still feel I was reacting to the emotion I was feeling rather than responding to the situation. I feel this upset my equilibrium and for the next 36 hours it certainly did. I knew the only way to put myself back into balance, was to see the situation for what it was and not worse than it was. By doing this, I let go of unnecessary frustrations, this then opened up my heart and I instantly apologised for my poor response at that time. What did I learn from this situation? Most definitely, to never fight fire with fire and always to respond with love, this will free you from some unnecessary worry and pain. It’s never too late to respond with love and if you feel you need to do that with someone today, please do so, it will make life for you and the other person involved a whole lot better. Go on, put your life back into balance, what are you waiting for? This next poem is for you. Much love to you today, Clarabelle
Love is Profound
I call out my heart, do you hear my cry?
Where are you now? Don’t pass me by.
I search outside, nothing I find;
Where can it be? I know it’s one of a kind.
Then, in the silence, I discover, glowing from within;
A miracle heartbeat, I take a look in.
I see an extraordinary life, happiness all around;
Feeding pure souls, this love is profound.

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.

You can always make a fresh start moment to moment, by living in the now and using your mindfulness to change your immediate thinking. It is always important to remember to come from a place of love, because when you let love run freely from your heart, it will always make sure it does its job. This next poem is inspired by living life now, go on make it happen, because every moment, is a moment to change for the better. Lots of love to you today, Clarabelle.
Living Life Now
Living life now;
Frees you from the how.
Just let go;
Let love in you, flow.
Take a step, achieve;
Really do believe.
That you can have it all;
Aim high, stand up tall.
Let worry, pass you by;
There’s a smile, behind your cry.
The pain will come and go;
This, I want you to know.
Today’s a brand new day;
Stay focused and go your own way.

A Wonderful Human Being
Today is the anniversary of my Dad’s passing away in 1997 but I remember it all like yesterday. Even though he suffered with cancer for about 5 years I choose to remember him when he was happy, fit and healthy. What a wonderful human being he was, full of laughter, always singing and loved his family very very much and even though he is not here today I still feel his unconditional love around me, so very abundant and strong. When loved ones leave our life here on earth, I believe their loving spirit still shines upon us, more than we will ever know. Their love is surrounding you right now. Clarabelle
Here is the post which I shared before here on this blog:
His Loving Spirit Lives On
I initially had second thoughts about posting this poem, simply because it is extremely personal to me and tells the true story of my Dad’s fight with cancer over 15 years ago. Sadly, after battling with this disease for 5 years, he passed away on 1 February 1997. The reason why I decided to share this poem is because although it was in some places, painful to write, I do feel other people who have gone through a similar situation with their family members will be able to relate to it and hopefully help them to come to terms with their sad loss and be able to gently move on. I know everyone deals with grief differently and I think it took me about 5 years for the sadness to truly melt away. Now when I think of my Dad, I think of the wonderful, happy and outgoing person he was, this then makes me smile and so proud to be his daughter and part of his life…..his loving spirit lives on in every heart he touched and I know he touched many.
My Wonderful Dad
It was 15 years ago, when you passed away
I must admit, it was my saddest day
My heart felt heavy, from deep inside
I had lost my Dad, I had lost my guide
The tears were painful, unbearable at times
Red bloodshot eyes, were swollen signs
When all alone, I cried out my heart
The deepest sadness, when you did depart
I held your hand, a few days before
And took a last glance back, before I left the ward door
Something told me to look back, when visiting that night
It was 24 hours later, you gave up the fight
I was out with a friend, but didn’t want to go
You told me to ‘live on’ and for the sadness not to show
I came home that night, there was a cold chill in the air
I instantly knew, why no one was there
They were called to the hospital, late that night
You were taking your last breathe, and approaching the light
Everyone was there, except for me
Because I went out, very selfishly
I lived with that hurt, for a few years
Why wasn’t I with you, I cried so many tears
I think it took about 5 years to move on
It was a painful few years, when your presence was gone
But now when I think of my wonderful Dad
I remember the good times, never the sad
I celebrate your life years, there were 58
I was part of 23 and you made them great
You never lived a perfect life, worry got to you
It’s easy to blame, but we didn’t live in your shoes
I think of your singing, I think of your smile
I think of that waistcoat, you wore for a while
You were fond of the mirror, a poser you were
Talking to yourself, as you played with your hair
When you left for work, I missed you right away
When you arrived home, it made my day
You were always positive and friendly to all
You liked to use humour, to break down the brick walls
A charmer you were, fun and caring
A Dad in a million and a little bit daring
You sang at most weddings, with a few whiskys inside
You jigged on the dance floor and flirted with the bride
You loved a laugh and would welcome a crowd
You loved your family, they made you feel so proud
In this physical world, your body is away
In another dimension, your spirit lives on each day
Maybe I can’t see you, but you can see me
You can feel my spirit and its frequency
So I’m sending you this message after 15 years
Life is good Dad, we have no more tears
You are still greatly missed and always will be
You have an extended family, it’s so beautiful to see
As the years go by and the older we get
We must live in each moment, but never will forget
The loved ones of the past, who are present in our mind
Who live in our hearts and are one of a kind
We love you, we miss you and to hold you once more
Would be a dream come true, if you walked through that door
The tears of the past, are now gone forever
They ran down my cheek and joined the river
And as the river flows, my heart does to
It is joined by my soul and reaches out to you
Because on the crest of the wave, there you stand
Holding out your heart and holding out your hand
Thank you Dad, for in me you live
Thank you for the lessons and to others I now give
Live your best life, every moment of every day
Connect with your inner self and listen to what it says
Enjoy the journey, as you sail down the river
Because there are hearts and many hands helping you forever.

“It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day, it’s a new life for me and I’m feeling good”…..these words beautifully sang by wonderful Mr Michael Buble, a very uplifting song indeed. If you or someone you know is needing their spirits uplifted, then maybe, just maybe this next poem might do it for them, share away, as it might make someone’s day. Lots of love to you, Clarabelle.
Rise and Shine
Wake up, wake up, rise and shine;
Get out of that bed, life is divine.
No more wallowing, in negative talk;
Get dressed, put your shoes on, and go for a walk.
Breathe in the fresh air, feel the light on your face;
Turn your life around, pick up the pace.
For no one can change you, you’ve heard it before;
Opportunity awaits you, open the door.
Make this one memorable, make it your goal;
To commit to a better future, this is your role.
