Spirit Art: what is it?

Spirit Art: what is it?

Quite naturally when you sit with a medium and receive your messages, you might wonder;

“Is this real?  Is this person really receiving information from my loved ones who have passed”

A good medium will always try to describe your loved one so you can recognise who it is.  However what better way than to sketch the person who is standing next to you offering you love and support.

Irene Gloux, a talented artist and medium rapidly draws your loved one.  It’s truly amazing!  You get to take the picture home to remind you of your conversation with someone from your soul family. read more

Open your heart like a beautiful rose

Learning a life lesson to open my heart like a rose: 2 steps to achieving it 

This week I drew an angel card to help me understand my purpose at this time in my life.  This is the card I drew.

The rose symbolizes many things including; abundance, beauty, clearing, blessing, dreams, emotional healing, friendship, protection, purification, romantic love, secrecy, self-love and spirituality.  There are lots of good things associated with a rose, so I should be pleased but…

The life lesson I am learning at the moment is to open my heart and trust that I will not be hurt even though past experience has resulted in disappointment and hurt.  It takes courage to open your heart, but without opening your heart you will not experience all the beauty and fullness that life has to offer. read more

How would you rate your attractiveness?

How would you rate your attractiveness?

Some say beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  However I believe beauty is not about the shape of your nose or any other physical part of you.  How you are inside is reflected in your face.  Unwittingly this is what people see and use to decide if they are attracted to you.

Happiness radiates out from a person and others are attracted to them as they enjoy basking in their happiness.

Likewise people can see and feel anger in you.  It feels heavy and makes people feel uncomfortable so they avoid you. read more

Women: do they make good coaches?

When I started my career in IT, I was often the only woman on the team.  What I observed was that men operated differently and I had to learn to adapt to a new set of team social rules.  In my experience men are;

  • much more direct
  • may even shout at you when irritated
  • not hold a grudge afterwards.

Having a mentor to help with this learning became an imperative for me and was enormously beneficial.

If like me you are in the second half of your career, you may have ruminated on how you operate in the workplace.  Meeting up with a former manager from my youth, he reminded me how when I first worked for him I did not speak up in a group situation, even when he knew I had some good ideas.  This is not an uncommon trait in a woman at work. read more
