I’ve had a few Tarot readings in the past, generally around a time of uncertainty and change. They have usually been interesting but I’ve never had one that totally blew my socks off -until now… I had heard about this Tarot reader through my dear French friend Ibu Marie who organises spiritual tours to healers […]
Writing a book is like fine wine…it takes time…
I’ve dabbled in writing over the years, mainly journalling, and in the early years, certainly nothing for anyone else’s eyes! In 1995, when I had my first overseas trip at the age of 30, and before the internet, email and Facebook were on the scene, I kept in touch with family and friends with long […]
Aunty and the Star people…
I went to the movies yesterday and saw one of the most humbling and inspirational stories I think I’ve ever seen. It’s a documentary about Jean Watson, a New Zealand woman, now 80, who has helped change the lives of children in a small area in India. . So much of this movie resonated with […]
Heart Mastery…
Sometimes you have the privilege of meeting someone who oozes so much peace, love and wisdom, you want to stay in their presence forever. I’ve been blessed to meet such a person who has now become a dear friend. Once you meet Rick Pursell you never forget him, he will touch your heart in ways […]
Learning Meditation and Yoga from a Fifth Generation Balinese Priest
So, after my profound healing experience with Mangku Mastra yesterday, he came back today to teach me his special Bayu Sura Yoga and Meditation. Since I don’t ‘do’ yoga (I find it extremely difficult and my back hates it so I don’t do it), this was going to be interesting… . Even though Mangku Mastra […]
My Balinese Healing Experience…
In 2013 while staying in Ubud, Bali, I had the great pleasure of meeting a lovely French woman who is a writer and journalist-photographer, and has been living in Bali since 2001. She knows the Ubud area like a local. And so, it was with great excitement that I got to tag along with her […]
Volunteer Teaching
In 2011 when I went to Bali to teach English and computer (primarily) to the children at Widya Sari Yayasan in Tianyar, I had no idea the impact THEY would have on my life. It’s all very well saying “I’m going to Bali to teach kids English” but having no formal training in teaching, the […]
It’s All About Love…
2013 is the 20th anniversary of my diagnosis of early menopause. As I think back through those 20 years, I slowly shake my head in wonder at the journey I have been on. My heart feels full – with joy, purpose and fulfilment. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined the life I now live […]
