Reflections: Celebration
My first response is: wow! Another bright card.....Celebration.
If you would like to join me in reflection, ask yourself the questions here, and write in your journal. Or, if you prefer, read on and come back later.
- What is your first response? To the word? To the colour?
- What else is there?
- And, what else?
- What does Celebration add to the other cards so far? How do the colours connect together?
What else is there?
Celebrations are being planned for the launch of the audio version of Your Compass Rose Speaks: Rediscover Your Inner Wisdom - it is taking time to get it right, and that is fine, it will be released at just the perfect moment.
And, what else?
Celebration: sometimes for me, life feels hard, and I can forget to simply enjoy each moment. To celebrate being alive, being here. Although I am getting better at halting negative thoughts, I love this reminder, and the bright, vibrant red.
What does Celebration add to the other cards so far? How do the colours connect together?
What does Celebration add? Joy, fun, recognising the very fact that this year is unfolding beautifully (even when it does not always feel that way). Adding another bright colour to accentuate the flow of all the blues also feels joyful and playful.
The 'Shine Your Light' Compass Rose Programme: two taster circles before the start on 16th September
This new programme 'Shine Your Light' - is an opportunity to gently explore your unique individual light within. How you would like to share it with the world - to shine - and how you wish your light to stay private for yourself too.
The taster sessions will be on Wednesdays 4th and 11th September at 11.00 am UK time. Please do contact me for the Zoom links to join us or if you have any other questions. I am delighted to say that there are enough people already signed up for this programme to run, and there are still spaces available if this feels a good time for you to embark on an exploration in company with me and a small group of like-minded people.
This six weeks together will offer you a place where you can begin to see your own inner light, so often hidden, hidden by yourself. As we share and witness for each other in our sacred circle, we will each begin to grow in confidence, and to allow our light to shine more brightly out into the world.
The fee will be £168 for the six weeks, with a discount for previous attendees. As well as the weekly Zoom gatherings each Wednesday at 11.00 am, (with a recording in case you miss one or would like to listen again to the conversations and insights), you will be invited to a private Facebook group where I share weekly and daily prompts. (If you prefer not to take part on FB, I can send these by email to you).
When the six week programme ends you will have access to all the materials in the group to review whenever you wish. You will also be eligible to join the Stay Connected Group where we share a monthly Zoom catch-up call and you will be offered a discount on all future programmes.
You can pay in two instalments if you wish. Contact me to arrange this or to arrange a one to one Zoom chat so you can consider if this may be for you. I occasionally offer a concessionary rate place so if you are drawn to this programme, but money is an issue please do ask for a conversation about this.
Bude 'Feel Good Festival' on Saturday 7th September
I have decided to book a space at this event in Bude, it will be chance to meet old friends and new, to talk about my work and show people my books, art and cards in person for once. All being well a few items will be sold and take up their place in a new home. If you know anyone in that area please do help spread the word, it is free to come in and Bude is a lovely spot for a day out, with beautiful beaches, a great little museum and plenty of good cafes.
If you click on the image you will be taken to the Facebook event page, or simply contact me with any questions
I will be offering special prices on paintings and books for people who come to visit the show, and after the event I will extend those to you, my loyal newsletter readers, as well.
Other ways to connect
The monthly circles are continuing, the September dates are Saturday 14th at 11.00 am, and Monday 30th at 7.30 pm. Contact me to receive the Zoom links if you would like to join me for a peaceful hour together.

Reading Recommendations
There are lots of great books coming out just now, and as you may know, I love buying from small publishers - the two I most often recommend are my own publisher Golden Dragonfly Press, and Womancraft Publishing. They both have a big list of titles, as well as the upcoming releases. I am delighted to have been involved in a small way with the tenth anniversary celebration Compendium for Womancraft, pre-orders for that open on 6th September. If you visit their website and sign up for the newsletter you get first news and qualify for discounts too.
I send wishes for health and happiness for you and all you love.
Thank you for joining me here this month, any thoughts, feedback, or questions are always welcome.
