Problem Identification Without Thinking
Too tired to think? Yet you have problems to solve? Problems that are driving you to distraction, keeping you awake at night, and playing havoc with your appetite. On top of that you have anxiety, your mind is exhausting every last ounce of your energy, and you have to get proactive? Yes you do! RelaxContinue…

I Am
I Am But what does that mean? To Be? What? How? Who? And how can I Be when I’m too busy to take time to be? Being I Am is more challenging that I thought And what is Being? Is it Being me? What is me? It really depends on my mood I can beContinue…

Spiritual Mentoring
I didn’t begin my spiritual journey as many people do, by discovering that I was a psychic, medium, or healer. That all came later. Instead I asked a friend for help when I was reasonably certain that I was heading for a breakdown, and discovered that I didn’t know him at all. I worked withContinue…

The Artist
THE ARTIST The artist splashes white over black silver glistens across brown Blue is shaped Green smudges to grey Opalescence is given edges Innocent limbs are scarred by his cheek The lightest talent Stealthily Creeping up when you least expect him Silently Whirling his brush Wildly Indiscriminate With innocent and devastating intent Pure Unashamed UnsophisticatedContinue…

Confidence is a Myth
How would you rate your confidence level? As a public speaker I describe myself as The Myth Buster. Through my spiritual learning I have realised that the way we think is based on centuries of opinions formed by our ancestors, and things need to change. Seriously, hugely, change. Our thoughts about ourselves and who weContinue…

Dare I?
The image to the left is a version of the illustration on the front of my book, but it’s more than that. It represents another side to my character. I’m the quiet version of me, but as with many of us there’s another me inside screaming to get out. The one I intended to beContinue…

Sigh
After an exciting week last week, this pretty much sums up my feelings right now. Last week I was full of enthusiasm, my get up and go was go, go, going, I was ready to take on the world and win. Today I couldn’t decided a) whether I was hungry, and b) what to haveContinue…

What Was I Thinking?
You’re writing your autobiography. What’s your opening sentence? In truth, the actual question is ‘why didn’t I know how to think?’ My organic spiritual path, in other words not consciously chosen by me in this life but worked out in line with my soul intention, has led to me personally believing that life has beenContinue…

War and Violence
What bores you? I know it sounds odd to say that these things bore me when innocents are losing their lives right, left, and centre, but the question is what bores me, not what appals me to the very depths of my soul. What actually bores me is that after millennia of violence, fearing eachContinue…

Distance Doesn’t Count
39 years later I’m coming out of what I later realised was an abusive marriage, having been told by an expert that my ex was a psychopath who wouldn’t rest until he destroyed my life, my family, and all my friendships. Something both of my closest friends also said, and they were all correct. AsContinue…

The One
Most, but not all, humans dedicate a great deal of their life to meeting ‘the one’. Some are lucky that happens early in life, others have to wait a bit or a lot longer, and maybe appreciate it more because of that. If you’re a person who’s still waiting and wondering when this seemingly mythicalContinue…

A Great Saying?
I love a positive saying that brings light into the darkness. One that makes us realise that what happened in the past can plunge us into the dark, or be used as energy to catapult us into the light. There’s a funny thing about sayings though, you can love them, collect them, build positivity boardsContinue…

Totalitarian State of Mind
When you work hard to be a spiritual thinker, accepting the rights of others to exist in their own way, respecting the free will clause as set down by your God, it’s very hard to see what kind of a race humanity has become. It would be ridiculous to say that there weren’t millions, ifContinue…

A Poem What I Wrote
Just a quick blog tonight to start off my Miracles section. I wanted to add this section to get people thinking back through their life, looking for those beautiful memories that get lost amongst the normality of the mundanity of a pre-prescribed life. My life has been peppered with so many amazing things, and IContinue…

Choices Choices!
Share one of the best gifts you’ve ever received. To choose the best gifts I’ve received in my life would be impossible because there are so many of them. From the cats that kept me sane, through the mentors and random people that changed my life, even those who didn’t know it, to the spiritualityContinue…

The World Within
I tried for years to find a logo that made sense of my work, and then this popped up on a site where you could download photographs for use on your websites. It perfectly expresses Transform Your World, because it reminds us that we need to let go of who we currently are and allowContinue…

An Unexpected Life
If there was a biography about you, what would the title be? This is me at a public speaking event, doing my keynote speech “The Myth Buster”. Amongst the many things I never thought I’d do, the courage to stand up and speak to an audience was right up there on the list with ‘remainContinue…

The 25% Rule
This image doesn’t exactly represent the 25% rule, and yet that turtle in the vastness of the sea kind of does. It acts as a reminder that if you want to trawl through your past you have a long way to travel, no signposts, and it will all get lost in the enormity of yourContinue…

Blinded by the Blindingly Obvious
One thing I’ve learned from tangling with spirit guides is that they have no interest in complexity. I may have said this before and will no doubt say it again – and again! Often my guide’s advice is stunningly simple, completely obvious, and leaves me wondering why haven’t acted on what was right in frontContinue…

Scare Yourself to Save Yourself
It’s 1982, I’ve innocently rocked up at my first ever musical concert, to see my all-time hero, Barry Manilow. I’ve never done anything like it before, never seen an arena so big, let alone that many humans in one place at the same time. I’d already decided that he was something special, far more thanContinue…

Couldn’t Resist this Question!
What would you do if you won the lottery? We are of course talking major lottery win here not enough for a cup of coffee and maybe a decent meal out in today’s financial climate. For me the ultimate in life is to feel good, in fact one of my go-to mentors coined the phraseContinue…

My Child
My Child said to me one day… “Daddy there is someone at school who is different?” I said “There is no one at your school who is different.” “But daddy there is, their skin is different to mine.” “It may look different, but it still does the same job, it holds their bodies together andContinue…

I’ve Never Felt so Useful!
A bit about how I travelled from ‘what on earth?’ to practical spiritual teaching, via a few miracles and any number of surprises!

Mouse Image
This is one of my favourite poems. I love the fact that you’re sitting there one day and the words are just floating in your mind, making you smile as you write them down. It also neatly describes the day I stopped being scared of the people around me.

New Year – New Start?
This image neatly sums up the western new year, lots of colour, big bangs, back to boring reality. It’s nice to celebrate whenever possible, many of us don’t have as much fun as we need, but I’ve always felt that the social viewpoint to new year’s could do with amending. Is new year really aContinue…

Let’s Talk Self-Promotion!
To all the creatives out there who struggle to make their work known to the outside world, I feel for you. I write blog after blog, article after article, and do I remember to post information about my book on any of them? Almost never. I think I’ve taken either shy and retiring or forgetfulContinue…

An Ocean of Serenity
Have you ever had the experience of getting gradually more fed up, and then eventually overreacting at the wrong time, with the wrong person? As a pretty placid person this is something I really need to watch, and as you may imagine, when I have let the wrong person have all the angst and furyContinue…

Future Mindset
It’s no secret that your mind controls your life, and quantum physicists have proved that the mind programmes the body into proscribed reactions, such as anxiety, that then need to be trained back out. But what about positive thinking? How many of us try so hard and yet find our minds rebelling despite our bestContinue…

Where Was I?
Avoiding Self-Blame Yep, I’ve drifted away from blogging again! Show me a butterfly or a cat and I’ll while away the hours watching them. Which of course makes me A BAD PERSON!… Or not… I’ve walked a spiritual path since I was 26 years old. I’ve tried to be a good person, thoughtful, considerate, thereContinue…

Folks Eh!
It may surprise you to know that even the people who genuinely love you may not be that helpful in your recovery. Partly because if you’ve been this way for a long time they won’t be able to see you any other way. You may have tried to recover before and slipped back, so inContinue…

Mental Potential
In order to escape from anxiety you need to be ready and willing to change your mind. You may have felt ready and willing for some time, and yet nothing has happened. There are two main reasons for this, either you weren’t ready or you didn’t have the right help. When it comes to help,Continue…

Spirit and Science
When I launch into the subject of my spiritual beliefs and past experiences, and how these beliefs saved my sanity, it’s worth noting that for me this is Practical Spirituality for Everyday Living. Simple, straightforward, realistic, and useful in the real world. Science The science part was something that came as a surprise to me,Continue…

Easy Does It
As I said when I started the new route through this blog, rather than focusing on the symptoms and struggles all the time, my escape began when I discovered that a friend of mine thought completely differently to me. I hadn’t know then, at age 26, that I was woefully short on knowledge, ideas, andContinue…
