Make 2014 your best year yet, I know you can, just decide and do it.  This next poem is a lovely Happy New Year Poem created by the super talented Maureen Turner.  Maureen has shared some lovely poems on this blog with us before and it is a real pleasure to have her back.  Thank you to Maureen for sharing your poetry with us, we love you for it.  

Happy New Year

The end of the year,
is just close by,

So let’s raise a glass,
and end it on a high.

Did it all go according to plan,
or did it end, just as it began? 

The hopes, the dreams you made for the year,
did they come true or are they still here?

So let’s look forward to 2014,
stick to your plan and follow your dream.

Be happy and healthy, stay strong and be clear,
and do whatever you can, to make it a successful  year.

Poetry: The Best Is Yet To Come

Favourite Poem

The following poem, which I have recorded on video for you, is one of my favourite poems, it’s about being open to change and moving forward with your life.

Shape Your Future

Focus positively on what you do in the NOW and in what you Think, Feel and Do, because that will surely shape your future and I know you want it to be a good one.

Here’s to the best days of your life, that have still to come.

Love Clarabelle.

The Best is Yet to Come

Goodbye to my past, I’m letting go of you,

Now I focus on the present, this beauty is shining through.

I’ve closed the door to your love and finally have moved on,

Too many sleepless nights, and worry from dusk till dawn.

I didn’t need another, to help me close the book,

I know the early chapters, were always worth a look.

But the best is yet to come, the rainbow is on its way,

 It paints a bright picture, of the excited thoughts I hold today.

Each step forward, I dance between the puddles,

Like an umbrella of magic, embraced with joyful cuddles.

Some will join the journey, others will choose to stay,

But I will not forget you, in my heart for you I pray.

Life can turn around fast, but only if that’s your choice,

I say yes to change, by listening to my inner voice.

Poetry: Green is for Go

Poetry:  Green is for Go

I enjoy creating these video poems for you, I feel they bring out the best in the poems and makes them come alive. The video poem below is called “Green is for Go“, I do hope you like it and that you have a green light day today.  Love, Clarabelle

Green is for Go

Green is for go, I see it everywhere,

Moving me forward, it’s so special and rare.

The key to the door, the answer to my prayers,

The blossoming of the flower, uncovering deep layers.

The sparkle in the sky, the smile on the street,

An abundance of joy, dancing in my feet.

The seasons have changed, a new freshness is in the air,

Autumn leaves fall, and softly touch my hair.

I’m switched on to life, glowing at night,

Such a beautiful opening, I’m now in full flight.

A Walk in the Rain

Sometimes a walk in nature is all you need to refresh the soul and re-balance your energies.  I love to walk in the rain, I just love it, it feels so invigorating to me.  Below is a video poem by me, all about just that.  Wishing you a day where you free your spirit amongst nature and energise your soul.  Lots of love to you, Clarabelle

 

 

 

 

September – Question of the Month

copy-timeline-photo.jpg

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.

Love isWhat 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.

What’s Your Love Story?

Rainbow

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

Clarabelle Bespoke Poetry

Claire's Mug

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.

Clarabelle Bespoke Poetry

Someone is thinking of you right now…Who?

Magic tree

Pass on the Learnings

We all have tough days, we all have hard times, we all suffer deep sadness and heartache.  I believe one day, very soon, you will look back at this moment and realise that the poem below holds many truths.  You will silently smile, pass on the learnings and hold your dreams in your arms.  Maybe, just maybe, you needed to hear this today, remember you are loved, very very much and someone is thinking of you right now, because they love you with the most deepest unconditional love.  Treasure that thought, hold it in your heart and let it bring true light into the darkness.  Your spirit is sparkling now, I see it, I feel it and I know you can too.  Much much love to you today as always, Clarabelle.

When the Rain Falls

You may feel pain today, it may be tough;

You may be worried today, weather is rough.

You may feel like crying, because you’re lonely inside;

You may feeling like dying, because your heart has lost pride.

But please believe me, for this one is true;

There is an abundance of love, surrounding you.

It is helping you release, all of that stress;

Building you from within, when life seems a mess.

Angels are dancing and holding you tight;

The sun is behind the clouds, shining on you bright,

When the rain falls, it is to refresh your soul;

It washes away the darkness, making you whole.

Right now you are loved, someone is thinking of you;

They hold you in their dreams and pray your wishes will come true.

To suffer in this moment, will not make you well;

Believe this message, like a magical spell.

May it awaken your spirits, turn your frown into a smile;

I am with you my friend, for forever and a while.

A Special Kind of Love

“You can’t force love in another, all you can do is love yourself.” (Clarabelle)

I woke up this morning and that was the first thought that came into my head, so what does this mean?  For me, it means many things but the one true sentiment from this sentence is really about having self-love, only then will you attract real true love into your life.  Love attracts love and when you have self-love then you will be a magnet for pure love from another   This next poem is inspired by just that, focus on the power in you, put your energy into your own self-love and believe me, you will be surrounded with an abundance of love from others, that is a special kind of love.

A special kind of love

A Special Kind of Love

There is a special kind of love, dancing in me;

Flowing through my veins, setting me free.

A burning energy of joy, happiness and light;

Capturing my soul, in the heat of the night.

Focus on yourself, give attention to you;

Your spirit welcomes, pure love in what you do.

The right person will come, for they never left your side;

Self-love is your answer, hold it in your heart with pride.

I Don’t Love You Anymore

Love

Inner Transformation

There, I said it, I shared it….”I don’t love you anymore”.  I don’t feel the way I used to feel about you, it isn’t a bad thing or a bitter statement, actually, it is a very positive statement and it is the realisation of an inner transformation in me.  I feel no attachment to the past anymore, I feel no emotion when I think of you, just that I wish you very well and that I thank you for teaching me so many lessons about myself, helping me to understand my deepest thoughts and my inner struggles, at times.  I am very happy that I met you all those years ago, for at that time, we had a very special connection and I believe we were meant to meet for the purpose of inspiring each other in the magic of love and trusting each other in the process.  

Super Focused

I am focused now, super focused on the now and the future…..never our past, for that was many yesterdays ago and the best love is yet to come for us both.  No longer do I dream of us together, dancing under the stars and laughing until the some comes up…..that vision for me has gone now, I don’t feel sad, I feel free and I feel happy.  This next poem is inspired by that experience and as I end the chapter of this book, I look forward to creating the magical story of the future chapters.  Thank you my friend for everything and more, Clarabelle.

A New Love Story

Caught up in the moment, city lights bright,

Happiness in my heart, let’s meet up tonight.

Energy is high, love takes our breath away,

You can see my soul, you can hear it pray.

As quick as it came, quicker it went,

You had moved on, my love was spent.

And in the heat of the moment, I held on so tight,

You let go of my love, I never gave up the fight.

And as time went by, you were in my thoughts,

Will he get in touch? My stomach in knots.

Now I have healed, the power is in me,

I’ve transformed inside, I now feel free.

May your heart touch another, I wish you well,

This chapter is now closed, a new love story to tell.

One Year On

Clarabelle Logo

Happy Birthday Blog 🙂

Today, I celebrate the birthday of this blog, it is one year old today.  I love putting my heart, soul, passion and energy into this blog and I feel it is evolving as I am evolving.

Inner Growth

I didn’t plan to do this blog, it wasn’t one of my goals but I do remember the day, one year ago, when I decided to set it up here on wordpress.  Prior to that, I had been writing lots and lots of poetry and I was gaining so much inner growth and special connection from my creative self expressions.  Something just clicked with me that day, on 20 April 2012, there was a heightened moment of realisation, a momentary illumination of the heart, that I should share my poetry and other creative expressions on a blog.  I just felt there was this strong inner calling to do that – so I did, I acted on it straight away, with no hesitation, it was a very enlightened experience indeed.

The Story of My Life

It was the right thing to do, this blog is part of me now, it’s the story of my life, the sharing of my secrets, it demonstrates the strength in my vulnerability and the love in my heart.  It has been soul baring, deeply moving and heartwarming at times, I have shared poetic reflections that I used to only whisper to my shadow.  This blog is about who I am and what I am becoming but I know I would not get the same fulfillment, deepest gratitude and satisfaction from it, if it wasn’t connecting with other souls – it has to inspire hearts – it has to help YOU to evolve and advance too.  

I want for you what I want for myself and that is to truly live life, to truly love life, to be who you are, to answer your inner calling, to shape the right way forward for yourself in alignment with your values, to have peace and knowing in your heart that you are all that you ever need to be, to have faith and trust in your ability to use your creative imagination to advance you forward in life and attract a never ending abundance of all that you have ever wanted.  You are on the path to personal evolution, you never came off it, it’s time now to enjoy the scenery and truly live in this moment now……..as I write this, I hear the birds singing outside – in the beauty and gratitude of each precious moment the miracle of life right now will always give us what we need.

Go create with pure passion in your heart, for the tide of opportunity wants you to surf its waves and refresh the soul of the deepest oceans.

Thank you for reading my posts, I truly mean that from the core of my heart.

Much love to you today, Clarabelle

Whispering Words

Time ticks on, moment after moment, breath after breath.  The sun rises, the sun sets and the clouds drift in slow motion, pause for a second, appreciate the time you have and live your life in meaningful pursuit.  This next poem is for you….time is of the essence. Wherever you are, I do hope the sun is shining on you.

Whispering Words

Time is of the essence, appreciate it well

The senses are awakening, I’m under your spell

Whispering words, silence in me

This daisy chain of life, surrounds the hollow tree

Each petal of hope, floats carefree in the breeze

Touching hearts, melting the freeze

Connecting souls, shining like stars

Breaking down barriers, bending the bars

The mind thinks, with passion and belief

Summer searches on, as I grasp the autumn leaf

And in the palm of my hand, I hold it tight

It’s a fragile treasure, escaping from the light

To let it go, is brave and true

Seasons change hope, that grows within you
