I feel like I am caught in a dumper at the moment. Interestingly, that feeling was the inspiration for Vortex. I think the biggest gift in 'embracing the thrash' is the necessary letting go.  The surrender. Things feel pretty amazing at the moment.  I'm stepping into...

I've loved spirals for a long time.  My doodling used to be an endless series of spirals.  My philosophy on life relates to spirals.  So many of my designs proposals have been spirals.  Vortex was many spirals within a spiral.  i feel a strong connection between life...

This blog post really represents a big part of the journey I've been on to transform my life.  Exploring is how I like to learn and my massive challenge has been 'exploring' in the public eye. I have spent my life trying to hide.  Even now I tend to wear mostly black,...

  Since getting lost has formed the background to my life, and led me into so many adventures and experiences, it is something I am exploring. Getting lost can be a time of discovery, of letting go, of surrendering to a higher power.   One does not discover...

Someone made a comment the other day, about a difference between males and females, in a general sense of course, but it holds true for my experience.  I wonder whether it is a feminine versus masculine principle.  The comment was that women are more interested in the...

My latest idea, and I'm having a few at the moment, is that  Cloudscapes could be built across political boundaries as a place of peace and play and spirit to spirit connection. I have a special connection to the Berlin wall, which came down on my 19th birthday as I...

This is a lesson I've been learning recently.  And it is one that is entirely within our control.  Speaking it releases it .. allows it to come out into the open to be examined and let go of with compassion and love. But of course, that starts with a need to trust....

I've been exploring my life in lots of different ways lately .. through music, conversation, writing, connection and creation.  And I've had lots of insights as I look back on my life and see the impact of early decisions.  One of those was around the need to protect...

This blog post has been on my 'to do' list for way way way too long.  I feel like my thoughts on this topic are a tight bundle ideas that I have been having trouble teasing out into a coherent story .. or even knowing where to start. So I'm starting.  And that is a...

Breathe .. Release These are my words for 2016 Already I am feeling the difference Holding on to everything has been my pattern driven by a lack of confidence in the search for my path. Driven by a need to hold on to every idea, every thought, every lesson. keeping...

I’ve signed up for ‘Quest 2016’, which included 13 prompts for envisioning 2016.  I will write my responses to all thirteen prompts in this one post. 2016 does feel like a step into something fresh and new. It feels like so much hard work has been done and now things...
