Ramblings of a Single Spiritual Mum

It's been a while since I did a Blog post and now we are nearing the end of 2022. I feel that I may really wear my heart on my sleeve in this Blog.


I have been on my own journey of discovery this year. Life and work became very overwhelming for me. I had to take a step back and really evaluate my work/life balance and where it was taking me. It involved trying new things; letting go of some things; I've searched deep inside for meanings and asked myself many, many times, "why?" so that I could get a clearer understanding of my role in the whole scheme of things.


I'm not going to say it's been an easy journey and I am sure that a fair few of you out there can resonate. The energies have been particularly challenging. I have really had to find 'ME' again. I can honestly say that this month is the first month in over 12 months where I have come 'home' to me and feel in alignment with who I truly am.


I am very, very grateful for the support that people have shown me over the years and that continued support is very much appreciated.


I spent a lot of 2022 lost; lost in grief and lost in a story of 'where do I fit in and why am I here'. I have been in the energy of struggle, lack, scarcity and most of all sadness. Going through a 'Dark Night of the Soul' you might say. I've held my head high, kept positive even when I couldn't feel it inside and kept pushing through, knowing that there would at some point be a break-through. My faith in spirit knew that I was being supported through this difficult time but my goodness, it really was a test. I know you need to raise your vibration, stay in gratitude in order to attract wonderful experiences into your life but when you have been through loss and grief, raising your vibration can very much feel like an uphill battle. I know that many of you have been through the same experience last and this year. My heart goes out to you, but, just to reassure you, it does get easier.


My children are always my inspiration to keep going, keep trying new things and they have shown me this year just how wonderful they are and how blessed I am to have them in my life. Whatever we go through, we go through together. Lauren, is now working and loving going to work, she's learning to drive and she really is a beautiful example of how you can overcome any obstacle if you choose to. Violet is overcoming her anxiety in social situations by going to college and making new friends - this has been a huge achievement for her and she is doing extremely well. Ruby is sensitive, loving and compassionate and yet continues to show me her strength, determination and her sense of knowing who she truly is. We have held each other, praised each other and motivated each other. Also in this mix of my family is my Mum and my Brother, for whom I couldn't have got this far without.


I told a friend of mine this very morning, that whatever is going on in the world, we are one of the happiest families I know and we always pull together and for that, I am truly grateful.


I have had to really keep the faith and reconnecting with old friends has been a life-saver, especially my lovely friends who take me dancing. Raising that energy with music, dance and laughter. Being able to connect with other people who want to enjoy life.


Those of you who know me well will also know my other passion is my running and it has been a bit hit and miss this year but I am back to it and feeling amazing. It is my time to process and just be. My form of escapism just for a little while.


My spiritual work provides me so much joy and happiness. For a while, I did feel that I had been living in a fog, that there was energy preventing that pure connection. One day something shifted and, I really cannot put my finger on it, other than to say, it was a combination of time to grieve and that I had been doing some clearing work within the Akashic Records with a close friend and I woke up feeling very different. I had shifted the energy of loss, scarcity and poverty (very much a past life where I had experienced such things). There was a calmness inside of me that I hadn't felt for a very long time, that I was in flow and life was flowing with me and that is where I find myself at the end of 2022. I feel very blessed.


I am ready for 2023 and looking forward to what wonderful experiences it will hold. Excited to take on new projects. I am looking forward to all the beautiful soul aligned clients that will cross my path with gratitude.


I will wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy 2023.


May you be blessed with joy and abundance.



Love Always
