Today’s wise Q&A…
Q: What’s in between winning and losing?
A: The best part.
The meaning of this is for you to interpret.
But it’s an important one.
Live on my friend…..LIVE ON.

In Time You’ll See
The mountain top
Wisdom creeps through the cracks of a silent mind.
My video below is living proof of that.
In time you’ll see…
The mountain top
was never the challenge
My fruits of space and light.

A Heart That Gives….
Sharing with you today.
I woke up during the middle of the night the other day and this quote below appeared in my mind. I have no idea, where those lovely words came from but I know I just had to share it with you today.
“A heart that gives, is a heart that grows.”

Poetry Corner #20 Don’t Worry Me
Dreams are for living
Don’t worry me,
for time is gold,
a miserable mind,
can never be sold.
Don’t worry me,
for love is strong,
hatred is wasted,
and is always wrong.
Don’t worry me,
for dreams are for living,
lazy never wins,
and joy is in giving.
Don’t worry me,
for strength lives within,
negative thinking,
won’t make your heart sing.
Don’t worry me,
for now I am free,
flowing and growing,
I let myself be.

Poetry Corner #19 Don’t Despair
When times are tough
Don’t despair,
when times are tough,
forever moments,
are not meant to be rough.
Keep your head high,
believe in good days,
have faith in your future,
your wonderful ways.
Behind the scenes,
you always shine,
remember that,
all will be fine.
See yourself smile,
laughing again,
knowing that soon,
you’ll be free from pain.

Poetry Corner #17 Wisdom Speaks Truth
Creation becomes you.
Your wisdom speaks truth,
in all that you do,
flowing and growing,
magnetically to you.
It whispers knowings,
from days gone by,
captivating choices,
helping your why.
No filters required,
intuition sets free,
an inner magic,
letting you see.
Your life it matters,
everything is true,
when knowledge appears,
with no hint or clue.
Beyond each moment,
deep in your heart,
creation becomes you,
right from the start.

Giving you a sign
Good day to you. Every Thursday is Poetry Corner. Enjoy the poem below from the Clarablle Collection of Original Poems.
Lucky White Feather
I see it floating, passing me by, falling so softly, down from the sky. They say it is lucky, a gift from above, a symbol of connection, filled with true love. I follow it quietly, drifting in time, freely dancing, simply sublime. This lucky white feather, represents life, truth and tranquility, no trouble or strife. So next time you see one, believe its for you, giving you a sign, that you'll make it through. By Clarabelle, London, UK Created on 20 September 2022 Posted to Blog on 29 September 2022

Stuck Energy?
I think it’s time to shake it up!
If you’re feeling a little bit stuck right now, you’ve got to get that body and mind moving.
You see, a stuck mind can equal a stagnant body and that wonderful human being of you, needs to feel and do more.
Awaken your inside energy and ignite the neurons in your mind to start connecting and creating again.
Just do something, anything that is going to stir up some magical movement in your soul and help you feel alive again.
Lazy living truly is a bad habit and believe me, no one wants to be around the draining energy of a lazy person.
Get up off your chair, throw some cold water on your face, go outside and let that fresh air hit you all over. Even jump up and down a few times or jog on the spot – just get that stuck energy flowing again.
I believe, the less you do…THE LESS YOU’LL DO!
So that also means, the more you do…THE MORE YOU’LL DO!
Seems simple but often so hard for some people.
There is nothing good about ‘stuck energy’ and EVERYTHING good about ‘awakened energy’ – I think it’s time to shake it up!

Don’t Waste Your Time
choose wisely
Your time is so truly precious.
A very wise man, I once worked with, said to me, “Claire, time is gold…..time is gold…..TIME IS GOLD“. Sadly, this wonderful man is no longer here now but the wisdom that he shared, lives on in me and in others he had deep and meaningful conversations with.
If you have gold, LOTS of gold, your appreciation for time and fulfilling relationships is often enhanced. Maybe, this is because, the strive for gold, has now been achieved and you then realise, you’re still searching for that missing jigsaw piece – but maybe it was there all along.
What if, everything you feel you need right now, you already have?
What if, you viewed life with your heart, rather than your eyes?
What if, that thing you fear, is nothing but a fragment of your imagination?
What if, you dropped all internal doubt and went for what you want in life?
What if, time IS gold and material gold is in the way of your happiness?
Lots and lots of, “what if” questions, that either mean nothing to you or offer you a different perspective on life – it really is your choice what to think.
All I am saying here is, PLEASE, don’t waste your time on climbing a mountain, you don’t really want to climb. What I would say though, is choose wisely, which mountain you DO want to climb.
After all, TIME IS GOLD!

In The Eye of a Needle
I am in poetic flow at the moment, this one’s for you. Sometimes I don’t know what these poems mean, I wonder what they mean to you?
In the Eye of a Needle
In the eye of a needle,
My soul breathes deep.
I see my heart,
Secrets I keep.
I bury my mind,
In a tunnel of love.
A cave with no light.
Blue sky with no dove.
It’s beyond the horizon,
Seems so far away.
Yet closer than I think,
Honest whispers I pray.
And on a misty morn,
The freshness I feel.
Both of us together,
This dream is real.
I hold out my hand,
Please take it with care.
A nurtured passion,
Leaves my soul stripped bare.
By Clarabelle
The Test is Now
Whilst going for your dreams, you are always being tested by life. But there is much beauty and true wisdom in the lessons we learn from “going for it” on this journey.
You have to stay super focused amongst the everyday distractions and this is when you can really tell if it is your true burning passionate desire to achieve this goal. If it wasn’t, you’d most certainly be very tempted to give up as soon as it gets a little tough. It is at these times, a super passionate person would dig in even deeper, put in extra effort to really stay on track or take things up a level. A determination like no other will spur you on to keep going and you will stay resilient towards achieving the goal in hand.
This is me and I want this to be you too. This is where I am at and I am telling you, nothing is going to stop me and I want you to feel the same about your dreams and goals in life. I am building up serious momentum each and every day and I am starting to feel the spark lighting up inside of me. I want the best ever life for you and for me and I do hope your focus, determination and inner strength is as strong as mine and if not even stronger.
If I can do it, You can do it, We can do it – Let’s do it!!
Happy days to you,
Clarabelle
Don’t Compare
I love this quote above, it rings so true for me right now.
It is always tempting to compare yourself to the outcomes of another but I urge you to think only about you, how far you are progressing and if you are doing everything you can to move yourself forward and be the best that you can be.
When you think of it, it really does sound crazy to compare yourself to someone who is much further forward on the Chapters of their own book.
You are the Artist, you are the creator of your own life and you must design it your way. Yes, you can use people as role models but don’t compare yourself to them, use their success and achievements to inspire you from within and do it your way – your own way – you know, like in the song by Frank Sinatra…..”I Did It My Way”.
lots of love to you, Clarabelle
Sunny Love
Some days I am just full of energy, like today. I was in bed fairly early last night and woke up at 3am as bright as a button. It was pitch black outside but I thought to myself, get up and do what you need/want to do, so I did, rather than stare into the darkness of the room.
Sometimes I write my best stuff at this time in the morning, I really do and I love it when that happens.
So treat yourself to an early night and wake up early morning, fully alive and ready to take on your dreams. Remember to take time to watch the morning sun come up, it is such a beautiful scene.
Lots of sunny love to you today, Clarabelle
Don’t Overthink It
It is so easy to overthink things, give yourself a break and just do what needs done. Often the more you hang around making a simple decision the more mixed up the mind gets. Set your mind free today, do what needs to be done and instantly that busy mind will simmer down.
What do you need to do today?
Lots of love, Clarabelle
Perfect Fit
Sometimes you just come across work out there that is a perfect fit for you at this moment in time and when that does happen it feels so wonderful inside. I urge you to seek the perfect work that fits your circumstances right now, believe me, you will enjoy it so much more than the ultimate dream job at the wrong time or worse still that high flying job that gives you no rest and no life outside of work.
Think about it, think about securing the perfect fit for you and your life right now and enjoy the journey.
Much love to you, Clarabelle
Where are you going?
Destination Unknown
One thing I have discovered for sure, is that if you don’t have clarity on where you are going, chances are you might just go around in circles. It’s so easy to drift when your destination is unknown, so I would encourage anyone who feels like they are in “drifting” mode to take time out to really answer that question for themselves.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
It may seem like such a simple question but it can be a difficult one to answer and/or even a more challenging one to pursue. You know what you’ve got to do though and I think this is a good place to start.
Please also ensure that the destination is in alignment with your core values, what and who is most important to you in your life, your passions, wants and desires.
I would love to hear all about it, please keep me posted or better still send me a postcard from that beautiful destination, yes that one place that just feels like home, like no other. 🙂
Lots of love to you today, Clarabelle
Courage and Strength
The Truth of Your Heart
Expect the unexpected in life, it can shoot you down and leave you in the gutter of despair. I want to tell you something, because I’ve been there and there is always hope, there is always faith and I want you to believe that if you’re feeling like that right now, hold onto the truth of your heart. Work on improving the most important relationship in your life first and that is the relationship with yourself – be your own best friend. I like to pray when I’m feeling like this, so I made up this prayer to share with you in the hope that it may help you during tough times. Prayer truly works for me, I believe and know this and I hope that it works for you too. Lots of love to you today and always, Clarabelle.
Prayer of Courage of Strength
Dear God,
I say this prayer, from the bottom of my heart.
And I ask you to help me to stay strong in this time of need.
Please help me to overcome these difficult challenges,
And become a better person from the lessons therein.
Help me to build a loving and empowering relationship with myself,
So that I can turn my life around for the better.
Give me the courage and strength to forgive and to be forgiven.
Let me see the open door in the darkest night
Let my heart grow with true love, faith and hope.
And may my inner light shine and guide me to all good.
I pray that I raise my self belief in my own capabilities and potential.
And may this lead me into a happier, healthier and more fulfilling life.
Thank you for answering my prayer.

Golden Apple
Different Experiences
My friend Sharon and I were have a deep and meaningful discussion the other day and we were talking about having different experiences. She shared a good analogy of her own which was, if you buy a bag of apples and the first apple you pick out is bad you don’t throw the whole bag away – do you??? I think that’s a good analogy of life, just because you have had one bad experience with someone or something, it doesn’t necessarily mean you will always have that bad experience with another, as a matter of fact, chances are you will definitely not.
Life Lessons
I have another thought on this one, what if you never experienced the bad apple in the first place, would you have missed a vital life lesson??? Sometimes what you perceived to be a bad experience initially, can for the long term turn out to be one of the best lessons in life you have ever learned. Life lessons are for the long term, as long as you remember them and learn from them.
Maybe the perceived bad apple is actually a beautiful Golden Apple in disguise.
Lots of love to you, Clarabelle

Photo and Quote by Clarabelle 🙂
Where does happiness come from?
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

What Mood Are You In?
Mood Lift Chart
I love this chart above, it was passed to me by one of my clients who has been working with an expert on leading change. I love it so much that I carry this little chart about with me everywhere now, I often look at it to measure where my mood is at. Earlier today, I had identified my mood as being -1 Impatient, Frustrated, I know why, I was putting too much energy and focus on a situation that did not serve me well, I changed focus and it then gradually moved up to +6 Resourceful and in this moment in time I am at +8 Wise, Insightful. Try it for yourself, print off the chart, cut it out and put it in your wallet/purse and test yourself throughout the day in terms of where your mood is at, it is very enlightening and will help you to reflect on where your current focus is – Is it serving you well or not?
Have fun with it, work on increasing your mood and I then reckon much more positive actions will come from this.
Thank you for reading this post – ah now I am +9 Grateful, THANK YOU, Clarabelle.

Space, what is it?
Sometimes you just need to give yourself a little space. Space to be free of thinking, give space the space it needs to nourish your soul and help you grow.
Space, what is it? Space is everything, let me explain in the following poem:
Space
Space is love and light from within,
Space is the Angels, letting you in.
Space is the nothingness, the gap of life,
Space is tranquility from trouble and strife.
Space is our heart, and all we desire,
Space is the oxygen, fueling the fire.
Space is empty, magic in the air,
Space is forever, lifting you there.
Space is the truth, feel it flow,
Space is special, this I know,
Space creates dreams, inside and out,
Space connects souls, walking about.
Create the space, to breathe in time,
Create the space, to feel divine.
Sometimes space, is all you need,
Space is the light, taking the lead.

The Zig Zag Way of Life
Sometimes when I am out running it feels like a kind of meditation, it really does, I feel I can really get to the core of my own wisdom and truth about life. Today, when I was out running I was thinking about this:
“In my experience, life goals are rarely achieved by only going in a straight line, because the experience of life is not straight, it is much more fluid and free-flowing than that. Sometimes in life we have to embrace the challenge of not always stepping forwards or even backwards for that matter, in a straight line. Sometimes we have to take zig-zag steps to the left and to the right, to truly experience and embrace life for what it really is. I believe that , life is not a straight line…..on your journey today, think about taking “The Zig-Zag Way of Life“.
Much love to you today, I’m zig-zagging all the way to my goals, Clarabelle 🙂

How Did I Get Here?
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!!

What is your colour?
Over the last year or so I have had an increasing desire to buy items that are the colour red, below is a list of some ‘red’ items I have purchased recently:
- Red Sofa
- Red Diary
- Red Bikini
- Red Coat
- Red Lamp
- Red Kitchen Tiles
- Red Bathroom Mat
- Red Bed Covers
- Red Lipstick
- Red Pen
- Red Mini iPad Cover
- Red Microwave
And the list goes on and on……………
Before that I had the desire to purchase items azure blue for e.g.
- Azure blue Car
- Azure blue Running Trainers
- Azure blue Running Top
- Azure blue ‘Clarabelle’ Butterfly Logo
And the list goes on…….
I originally didn’t really think that any of the above had any real significance to anything but after I had a meaningful conversation with someone about it, I now realise there is a very strong connection to the colours I am attracting into my life and what this actually means.
Chakras
A couple of weeks ago I was Chairing a Board meeting and before the meeting started I shared my desire for buying red with one of the newest Board members, John, who is a Reiki Master/Teacher (www.scottishreiki.co.uk). I said to John, “I just can’t stop buy red”, as I stood there proudly wearing my red trench coat.
John explained to me how my buying of red relates to the different colours of the Chakras and he continued to explain to me what each colour meant. John expressed that my desire for red is a good thing and to continue to do what I am doing in terms of my own personal growth. The Red Chakra relates to these positive traits:
- Energetic
- Courageous
- Pioneering Spirit
- Leadership Qualities
- Strong Willed
- Determined
- Spontaneous
- Confident
“Red relates to self awareness. It is the area of survival and stability and your place on this earth. The colour red provides the power from the earth and gives energy on all levels. It connects us to our physical body. Everything that is to be commenced needs the life vitality of red.” Extract from www.threeheartscompany.com
I then looked up the meaning of Blue in relation to the Chakras. Blue is in relation to the Throat, the ability to verbalise and expressing truth through the power of the spoken word. “Blue is the colour of the spirit and relates to self expression – speech, communication, the ability to communicate our needs and requirements; Spirit of truth and purpose. This is a mentally-relaxing colour. Connects us to holistic thought, and gives us wisdom and clarity enhancing communication and speech.” Extract from www.threeheartscompany.com
I totally found this a fascinating connection with me starting up of this blog, expressing myself through lots and lots of poetry and songwriting. I remember I had such strong desire for buying items of the colour blue at that time.
Cherry Positive
You may also remember a reblog I posted on here a couple of weeks ago, I was a Guest Blogger for the wonderful blog Cherry Positive and shared some life lessons on there, here is a link to it http://cherrypositive.com/2013/05/03/10-life-lessons-by-clarabelle/
The significance here is that Aviral Kulshreshtha introduced my blog with a very interesting take on what he called my ‘red‘ photo. Here is an extract from that very blog post and Aviral’s introduction:
“Being a Science student, I always learned, ‘Red color has the highest wavelength’.’ The highest wavelength has the highest energy. This energy reflects from red colored pic, who inspired me at every bit of seconds and I truly feel lucky to have her on my ship of Life: Clarabelle. Clarabelle means Bright. As I said, red color is the brightest color which reflects from her poetic heart and beautiful mind.”
Wow, I just feel the significance of the above expressions from both John and Aviral relate so much to me attracting the colour red into my life (and blue the year before that) – I believe this is in relation to the frequency of the vibration I am on. High energy attracts high energy, thus my desire for the colour red.
I could be completely wrong here and it would be interesting to hear other thoughts on this, I am always open to new learnings.
What colour are you attracting into your life right now? What colour do you have a current desire for?
At the moment mine is vibrant ‘red‘ and I’m indeed “REaDy for Action”!!
Wishing you a colourful day today, full of many beautiful rainbow moments.

What Is Your Inner Desire?
The sun is shining on me right now as I write this blog post and I feel its energy and warmth beating down on me through my living room window.
Red
My house seems really bare at the moment because I have been refurbishing and I am waiting on my new red sofa to arrive, I can’t stop buying red right now – I will share my thoughts around that in another blog post.
White
There is something about having this extra ‘white’ space in my house that makes me feel free, feel alive in this very moment and gives me true clarity of thinking. It’s like the energy in this room has space to breathe and dance around me – I can really feel it and it feels good.
If you are a follower of this blog and I truly thank you if you are, you may have noticed that over the last few weeks my posts are changing slightly, this was not deliberate, I am just doing what feels natural to me – I write about what feels right!! Maybe this is because the energy within and around me is changing, growing and multiplying like never before.
I feel like a magical magnet right now, I am attracting so much goodness and a wealth of abundance like never before. I feel truly rich in this moment and I am so very grateful for it.
Desire
I am feeling this strong desire to ‘move’ from my current environment and this morning I am already thinking about how I can make this happen. I may even decide to sell all my worldly goods and go on an adventure to explore all the deep faculties of this amazing world. I know I can make this happen because when you have desire and I mean real desire for something, nothing will get in your way. That inner desire that I am talking about turns into an obsession and the pure delight and excitement of having it builds up into such a humongous level of passionate energy….the head is not driving this anymore….the heart is.
When the heart takes control of your destiny, you feel alive, every part of you feels awakened and you see so much beauty in everything around you – everything seems like paradise and it’s like you are vibrating on a different frequency – yes you actually are.
I want to leave you with a heart question today…..What does your heart desire?....not your head, What does your heart desire? I believe your answer to this question, is your next step on your journey of life.
Love life, live life, be life.

What is wisdom?
Busy Lives
Wisdom is truth and we gain wisdom from being true to ourselves and listening to the whispers of our heart. In our busy lives it is so easy to caught up in routine and rituals, we often don’t take the time out for ourselves and we can very easily allow that to happen too much, it can then create a build up of frustrations, stress, having the feeling of chasing our tail and ultimately never truly feeling free.
What Can You Influence?
Today I tempt you to take some precious time out for yourself and think about what is happening in your life right now that, A) is serving you well and B) is not serving you well – now focus on what needs to change for you, what can you influence to make things better for you? The key thing here is to focus on what you can influence not what you are concerned about and have no control over. If you have read the late Mr Stephen R. Covey’s book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, you may be familiar with his principle of Circle of Concern -v- Circle of Influence….and if not, I would totally recommend you reading this. It will really help you put your own life into a different perspective and help you to see the woods from the trees.
Set Yourself Free
You are wisdom and therefore YOU have the wisdom to set yourself free from anything that is not working for you right now and sometimes it takes pure silence for you to truly hear what is being said. The real intelligence in you is bursting to get out, strip back the layers of your busy life and release it into the universe, for its energy will attract like energy and positive changes will happen.
In the stillness of the night my own wisdom talks, this is my midnight calling to you.
Much love to you my friends, Clarabelle.

What Are You Tolerating?
A Question to Ponder
You may not wish to answer straight away, you may wish to contemplate the question for a few minutes/hours/days or even a couple of weeks. You don’t even need to post the answer on here, but it would be nice if you would and share your answers with others. So here is your question:
What are you tolerating?
Here is my answer:
These days I don’t tolerate most things that don’t serve me well and I made that change for myself a while back after I came across this statement “You get what you tolerate”. Wow, that was a transformational statement to me because it really made me think of what I was tolerating at that time in my life and didn’t wish to continue to tolerate. This changed my thinking at that time and inspired positive change within me.
So these days, if I’m purely honest, I don’t put up with anything that I don’t want and that is because I have greater self-respect and self-love for myself, I have raised my personal standards and everyday I work towards living my life in alignment with my values. My focus is on what I want out of life not what I don’t want and then I do what I can to achieve what I desire. Sometimes this isn’t easy and I have to push past internal barriers but as long as I have moved one baby step closer to my goal, then I know I am progressing and I will definitely arrive.
You get what you tolerate and if you don’t like it, change it!!

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
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 AM THAT I AM
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:
- Simple things like listening to music that moves me, music that makes me want to sing and dance;
- Songwriting and producing music;
- Being in touch with my inner emotions and open expressions of feelings of love;
- Holding my face up to the sunlight and breathing in the fresh air;
- Playing, having fun and laughing…..a lot!!
- Feeling excited at the start of each new day, answering the question, What will I create today?
- Refreshing my soul in the rain – I love the rain;
- Having lighthearted fun conversations with my best friends;
- Having trusting, openhearted conversations with my mum… not minutes….for hours;
- Coming alive in the presence of children – my nieces and nephew;
- Feeling INSPIRED, right now I feel inspired, right now in this very moment;
- Being so very grateful and being very mindful of this – it comes naturally to me, my attitude of gratitude;
- My deepest appreciation for solitude, I know when I need this, I know I like to have my own quiet, creative space at times;
- Reaching out to other people and confidently sharing all of the above and more;
- Appreciating the beauty and miracle of a rainbow, the moonlight and the midnight stars;
- I sincerely value what I am attracting into my life right now, there is so much abundance, I feel elated;
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

I Don’t Love You Anymore
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.

The Serenity of the Sun
Sunlight
Pure sunlight, it is beautiful, truthful and spiritual for me. I remember when I wrote the poem below and how I felt writing it at the time, I felt at peace and at one with myself, it was very early in the morning and I knew I was connected to the power of the universe. Let the silence between each line, awaken your soul and connect your spirit to a higher purpose. Your sun shines from within, let it radiate beauty and inspire other hearts around you today. Much love to you, Clarabelle.
The Serenity of the Sun
The wisdom, is in the space,
The silent thought, upon thy face.
Vibrations of hope, joy and love,
The serenity of the sun, as I look above.
Between the lines, opportunity awaits,
Creation of the soul, happiness at the gates.
The heart softly beats, today begins,
This morning I welcome, gratitude wins.

One Year On
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

Seek First to Understand….
“Seek first to understand before being understood”, one of my most favorite quotes from the late, Mr Stephen R. Covey in his bestselling book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. I was recommended this book in 2007 by an Executive Coach in America and I remember when trying to read it for the first time, I didn’t understand it…..I just couldn’t get it, I guess I wasn’t ready for it at that time. Then, in 2009 I had this urge to try and read it again, so I did and I absolutely loved it. Second time around, I related to every single aspect of the book, I fully understood the principles within it and it was a life changing book for me. I use the impactful teachings from this book every day in my work and in my own journey towards personal mastery, but I don’t always get it right!!
“Seek first to understand before being understood”, is such a wonderful principle when put into practice but when emotions are running high it can be very difficult at times to adhere to it. I have put the principle into practice many times but yesterday got caught out and I immediately realised it, after the event!! You see, I allowed myself to react to my emotions rather than respond to the situation, which led me to putting my reply across in the wrong way. I was wrong and I admit I was wrong….so a meaningful “sorry” from me followed straight afterwards. I know if I had applied the principle effectively, I would have been having a different conversation with the person in hand and thus possibly a more successful outcome that supported the relationship and not damaged it. Lesson learned, massive lesson learned. We can learn from others mistakes too, not just our own.
I wanted to share the above with you today because I feel if you apply this principle in your life, it will most definitely strengthen your relationships with other people and you just never know what positive outcomes that may lead to, now and in the future.
Also, is there a book that you need to go back to reading, it could just change your life you know!!
Much love to you today, as always, Clarabelle.

Sunshine in her Heart
Illuminate
Whatever the weather outside, please know that there is always sun shining in your heart, creating warmth and pure energy wherever you go. Feel your inner glow right now, believe that there is no special secret to a fulfilling life, you have all the answers you need, at this very moment. You don’t need fixing, you just need to illuminate the strength from within your soul, it is this strength that touches others in a moving and inspirational way because we are all connected and your happiness is my happiness too. This next poem is inspired by just that, may every part of your being today sparkle in the fresh air. Much love to you, Clarabelle.
Sunshine in her Heart
She talks with sunshine, in her heart,
Love flows freely, a connected part.
In the darkest of days, she sees the star,
Bringing it closer, from travels afar.
Imagination sparkles, in every thought,
Happiness in the moment, that cannot be bought.
She is special, she holds cares in the clouds,
Enlightened moments, from amongst the crowds.
Where does this come from? How did it grow?
What does she feed it, for true love to flow?
There is no secret, or special mix,
The solution is insider her, and there’s nothing to fix.

Window 172 – Shut the door on your past and fly
Indeed, “flying is our only freedom”, thank you “A Window of Wisdom” for this blog post. I really love it. Clarabelle
“If we return to what we walked away from, out of fear, and for comfort, our growth will become a vision of the past.”
When our spirit becomes caged by life circumstances; a soft tug from our heart-strings will pull us into our desired direction to where we can be set free. But along the way of our new path, there will be moments of difficulty that will trigger fear, and past reflections, of only happy memories that will try to pull us back into our cage… and if we return, we will find our self sitting in our cage, and reflecting on when we used to fly.
We must keep moving forward to soar higher in flight, by embracing the fears of the unknown future, for they will always try to tell us that the cage was cozy, but in reality, flying is our only freedom.
