Morning Journalling

Early bird. Night owl. We all have our preferences.

What are yours?

Do you dance barefoot under the stars enchanted my Mother Night’s mystery?

Or do you wake up with the first rays of the quiet rising sun and listen to the birds rejoice as colour returns to the world?

As you may know, I love am an early riser. I love the stillness and golden magic of day when it’s slowly waking up. Mornings are when I meditate, journal, drink tea and write.

So I’m honoured to participate in Monica Sabolla Gruppo’s Everyday Journals interview series where I discuss my morning journaling ritual and how it feeds into my life and my writing.

Some of my Journals

To Those Who Wish to be…

…Wild Mothers.

A few months ago, I came across a piece called Oneness, an excerpt from The Tao of Motherhood (by Vimala McClure and Sue Patton Thoele).

 It says:

“You and your child come from

One and journey toward One.

You are essentially the same.”

Reading it moved me, shifted my perspective and got me wondering – what if my child is already with me, in oneness, and not separate from my experience in the way I perceive it? Isn’t that how we manifest things metaphysically – by visualising them as real to draw them closer to us?

It says:

 “The bond is oneness, and cannot be broken.”

I copied it into my journal to keep it close to my heart. And when I read it, I say a prayer for the wisdom to release illusions of separation from my child and for the strength to focus instead on being united in oneness. This renews my hope and gives me the sense that my child is coming soon.

It says:

“When doubt and uncertainty arise,

return to this simple truth.

Be in oneness, and the illusion of separateness dies.

Be still and allow unity to be returned.”

Happy Mother’s day to you all. And to those who wish to be – I pray that the Goddess blesses you with the child that you dream of.

A Moment to Breathe

Sometimes when life gets overwhelming, you just need to stop, place you hand on you heart centre and breathe. Breath into your heart-space. Breathe in deeply and come home to yourself. Breathe in the healing of the present moment. Lean into the peace of your wise and wild essence. Breathe in tranquillity, compassion, serenity and goodness. Return to a state of grace.
