“It is only when we have the courage to face things exactly as they are without any self-deception or illusion That a light will develop out of events by which the path to success may be recognised “
- I Ching
What if denial was not an option? What if standing in truth was all that was available to you? What would you have to face about yourself, about others, about life? What will be possible when you do?

Have you ever set yourself intentions for the New Year, only to find that by week two you are back to the same old same old? There is an art to setting goals and intentions that really work, find out how…

When I was first asked to contribute an article to our brand new magazine, ‘Living Consciously’, so much excitement bubbled up inside. The idea that I would finally be given an opportunity to share with you my passion for bringing consciousness, clean, healthy living and fulfilment into all areas of our lives was, and is, the fulfilment of a long held prayer of mine. I’m so thrilled to have a forum where we can exchange ideas on this vast and inspiring topic and my deepest prayer is that it will ignite your passion – that it will inspire you, even galvanize you, to take action to make a difference, to ‘Be the change you wish to see in the world’.

So now you have made that deeper commitment, you have made the decision “I am going to go for it, I am willing to do whatever it takes….” You have that feeling of certainty inside of you, you are ready to jump right in, to take the plunge. So how do you connect to that place of absolute inspiration, the part of you that is your own source of pure creativity, to create what you want in your life, or to unleash the artist within?

“Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it Begin it now!’”
- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Have you ever had the feeling that there’s something you are meant to do? I’m not talking about mowing the lawn, or putting the washing out, worthy pursuits though they are, – I’m talking about the feeling that arises from a deeper place, the core of your being. Maybe you feel called to paint, to write, to make a film, to express yourself artistically, to change career, start or end a relationship, to take a personal development course that you sense will be transformational, to be something more than you have been up to now. It might be a simple thing, and yet, somehow you know that in answering the call, you are answering to some deeper longing inside of you.

“It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing…”
- Oriah Mountain Dreamer
What was it that you dreamed of becoming when you were a child? Are you living the life that you dreamed of? Maybe you have not yet allowed yourself to dream, conditioned early on by voices from your past- from people who had long ago given up on the power of their dreams; experiences may have left you doubting yourself, life leaves you disillusioned, giving up on the hope that you could really have what you want in your life. Or worse, you have just ‘settled’, not truly believing in your power to make change.

When I first came to The Journey I had just one fierce prayer “Take me to truth”.

Sometimes we initiate change, and sometimes change is put upon us by life – relationships start and end, jobs start and end, career changes are in store for us or we simply feel stuck and unfulfilled and know that something has to change even if we are not quite aware of what that is.

Ah, it’s true relationships really are our greatest teachers and nothing reveals ourselves to ourselves more fully than when a relationship ends. It is a truth that all relationships end – through break-ups, divorce, death or changes in circumstances. As soon as our hearts dare to love, it seems we risk losing the object of our affection. So whether or not you are the one who has been left, or have chosen to leave, how do you maintain a sense of dignity and grace when you are experiencing emotional turmoil?
