This being human
is a guest house
Every morning a new arrival
A joy, a depression, a meanness
Some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture.
Still treat each guest honourably
He may be clearing you out for some new delight
The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing
And invite them in
Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent
As a guide from beyond’
The Guest House

It would appear we are going through a collective dark night of the soul.

Festival days such as Deepavali are written into ancient sacred Vedic texts as old as time

They remind us of hope, of victory -light over the darkness, goodness beyond evil, of mighty spiritual strength, the kind we all have within

Even though we bear witness to terrible times we are always reminded spiritual strength will prevail.

It can never die , it is born time and time again unfolding into life and carried by
Supreme Divinity
Moving through life

Perfect knowledge
Eternal by Nature
Full of joy

Dive in to the light within
Happy Diwali

I had a great chat with The Firey Petra Williams Show recently around voice and authenticity.

We are a glorious work in progress!

The Voice Never Lies

We are our own greatest con artists.

We sit in situations that we know aren't aligned with our truth, and yet we make excuses:

1. He won't commit but I love him (even though I want kids and time is ticking)

2. I want to do something different with my life, to help others, but my businesses need me.

3. Taking the family to live in Italy for a year is a lifelong dream but things are really busy now so we'll go when things slow down.

In this week's The Firey Petra Williams Show episode with Grammy Award Nominated, Carmella Baynie, we talk about realigning with your authentic voice to live your purpose and a life that makes you feel alive.
