It has been a few weeks since I last connected with you and I have missed you. I miss sitting still and listening to my heart as I share. There is something quite precious about writing from the heart knowing that there are those who could be listening…………..perhaps even my own self. I have recently returned from a rather lovely trip to Australia. Those of you who know me…

Day 12: Let Debt Inspire https://www.twelvemonthselflove.com/10-day-12-let-debt-inspire/ https://www.twelvemonthselflove.com/10-day-12-let-debt-inspire/#comments Mon, 12 Jan 2015 16:27:34 +0000 http://www.twelvemonthselflove.com/?p=3635 This morning I woke up with fear itself sitting on my chest, whispering in my ear “It’s time to pay the Piper“. I listened for awhile, hanging my head in agreement, thinking this amounted to extending love and being with but I still felt hounded, a little breathless and a tad guilty. I mean I did just declare by my very actions that it is AOK to take off on a trip for seven weeks to do business…

Day 8 & 9: What Does Work Have To Do With It? https://www.twelvemonthselflove.com/10-day-8-9-what-does-work-have-to-do-with-it/ https://www.twelvemonthselflove.com/10-day-8-9-what-does-work-have-to-do-with-it/#respond Sat, 10 Jan 2015 03:20:21 +0000 http://www.twelvemonthselflove.com/?p=3605 Ok. I admit it. It is kind of hard returning to work after being away for so long. Not hard in an impossible way but hard in a “I don’t actually remember how to” way. I literally do not quite remember how we fit so many things into a 24 hour period each day in the past. Even though we fit tons of cool things into each day (even including maintenance) on our adventure in England I can’t…

I am so full of love, amazement and wonder after our day at the Victoria & Albert Museum that I can barely think or write. To have loved ones, beauty and time to enjoy both is heaven on earth. Suffice it to say the marvel, beauty, mass and variety at the…

Day 29: What I Have Learned From Taking 7 Weeks Off https://www.twelvemonthselflove.com/9-day-29-what-i-have-learned-from-taking-7-weeks-off/ https://www.twelvemonthselflove.com/9-day-29-what-i-have-learned-from-taking-7-weeks-off/#respond Mon, 29 Dec 2014 13:45:50 +0000 http://www.twelvemonthselflove.com/?p=3499 What have I learned from taking seven weeks off from our normal daily life? 1. There is no such thing as taking off from daily life. (life and the dailiness continues, just differently) 2. Life continues too, abundantly 3. The trip really began when we allowed ourselves to think it was possible (this began in intention over a year ago, in reality over six months ago) 4.

Presence with our own hearts, presence with each one we were privileged to spend time with and presence with what gifts life brought to us each and every day. Christmas Presence is that time when we all join together in that beautiful presence of love that is always within us. We have met numerous people who celebrate Christmas and the deeper…

It is wonderful, sumptuous and feels like a real home. I do not know the owners but they take the magazines I would if I lived here. They love art, family and good furniture and have great lighting. I am sending them all kinds of love and joy for Christmas just for the warm welcoming flat (including tea in the cupboard). It was an arduous…

The act of violence and spectacle again raises the issue of conflict, distrust and even hatred between “us” and “them”. This fear and distrust is uncomfortable especially when it is…

There was nothing to be done. No words. No actions. Just trust and waiting. And sliding. The car did stop and we then had to…

I try to listen, notice and be aware of what my body needs but the thrill, excitement and wonder of the moment leaves me ordering a second glass of mulled cider and another mince pie. We are doing plenty of walking yet my lumbering pace rugged up against the weather makes for very slow going which is not quite as…
