Monday 9th November 2009     It is with words you speak and communicate with your heart but your mind is not receptive to your hearts words save for periods when circumstance dictates the quieting of your mind.

Many people talk to me about the growing concerns over money and see this as representing the only real meaning to them in their life. When we talk in more detail it soon becomes clear that money is but a small part of their life. They go on to tell me about their dreams for their future life and money is not really top of their priorities. The financial world is in chaos but our personal worlds suffer to a very great extent from the almost paralysing fear that ensues. Life throws up many different events which can lead us to examining a deeper understanding of who we are and what our life is really about.


Tuesday 10th November 2009     Commanding your own life takes courage. The courage to realise and overcome the blocks we put in place to recognising how we are in control of our present and future life.

Other people and circumstances in the world outside ourselves are put forward as the reasons for problems and obstacles to, what we really feel in our heart, the life we truly want. The problem for most people is how they put their hearts desires last in life and so don't know how to communicate with their true self.

In our modern world how often do we hear the hearts rule being blamed for problems in a persons life when, in reality, our conscious mind made false promises that it didn't know how to keep.

Wednesday 11th November 2009     Fear is something we create when either we don't fully understand either a situation or ourselves. When we have gone against our true values be they honesty, truthfulness, clarity, to either others or ourselves then the only feeling is fear.

Our fear guides us to leave or make changes so that we need never feel the fear of the situation we currently face ever again. As an example, for many to fall in love creates fear but the time when they fell in love was not true love for true love is beyond fear, death and life itself.

Thursday 12th November 2009     Soul weary is when we have walked a path which doesn't fully represent who we really are. It may be that we have moved into the next phase of our life and the world outside us hasn't appeared to catch up with the fundamental shift. Or, and more importantly, it may be we haven't appeared to catch up with such a fundamental shift within ourselves and instead are holding on to the old, familiar and outdated ways of being.

Friday 13th November 2009 Every person we will meet in our lives not matter how marked our difference in race, culture, sex, age or beliefs there will be one thing in life we agree on. For we all share one common purpose in life and how we interpret and live our life in the journey shows diveristy, truth and above all meaning.      

Saturday 14th November 2009     How do you stop a hit man with nothing to lose? An interesting book by-line on the tube which made me realise how, once I realised the core expression of my life, I am like a hit man who has nothing to loose but so much to gain. Self help books and inspirational writing - once we find the passion in our mind and heart then nothing can stop us because our action is truthful - just like a hitman for our future with nothing to loose.

Sunday 15th November 2009     Playtime is our creative space to put in action the next stages of our lives. Learning, understanding, feelings, thoughts all come from play. To play with life results in our inner wisdom creating a truthful and therefore meaningful life.

Monday 16th November 2009     Wisdom. Children create far greater wisdom through simple honesty allowing access to our timeless, boundless wisdom within. We all know and understand everything about our lives when the conscious chatter of the adult mind is calmed and made quiet.

Tuesday 17th November 2009     Clearing our lives to engage in the next phase of our life is where we invite the adult self into our world. The wise inner voice watches as the practical parts of life are changed around us. Patience, more patience dispels the growing boredom and finally gives way to our boundless enthusiasm as we play out and explore.

Wednesday 18th November 2009     Reflection upon what has gone before. Reflection from others and who they see we are. Reflection on the future we may or may not see from our present. Reflections on our mind from our heart life reveal the multifaceted diamond our soul really is here, in the future from the past of our life.

Thursday 19th November 2009    Journeying through our lives provides diverse paths. Some we appear to detour down with others and some journey's we explore with purposeful steps. We mingle and match our pathways through life with many others. We knew of our purpose but are enlightened by the journey with all the twists and turns which we could never have imagined. Such is the richness of every life lived no matter how short or long.

Friday 20th November 2009    If in work we express what we achieve for ourselves and then for others then expression is full the we can fully receive from others. It is important to judge how far we have limited ourselves in order to break free of the bonds we have imposed upon ourselves.

Saturday 21st November 2009 Life in this world is full of limitless expression, understanding, opportunities and people to meet. When we realise the expansion of our thoughts we may need to anchor our days and our days within weeks and our weeks within months. Why - because to discover our limitless potential brings a time of being overwhelmed in our thinking and subsequent action. It takes most of us time to adjust our daily action to be synchronised to contain our realisation of our real life.

Sunday 22nd November 2009     Whose plan when synchronous events happen to enfold the many lives of those we have met or yet to meet with events intertwined and yet to be known. Our plan is to recognise that such a connection exists to unify us all at every level and in every way so a fuller life of many potentials may unfold.

Monday 23rd November 2009 ALL ABOUT YOUR LIFE Have you asked questions in your life to find out to find who you can be? You read you ask you listen. Who am I how can I express what I know and feel? I want to tell you about how you can live your life, how your life can be and then I'll ask you one question. Which of your lives do you want to choose? Think about it.

Tuesday 24th November 2009 ALL ABOUT YOUR LIFE The life that is half fulfilled or the one that is filled with all your aspirations of who you know how to be. Your life, your destiny going forward and understanding all that you can be. By finding a meaning in life and expressing it to the full. Ideals and dreams and knowing what you can achieve. Loving to the full following your passion. Bringing life into full focus and expressing all you need. Beginning now living all the life you have before you die.

Wednesday 25 th November 2009 SERENITY FOUND How by your inner knowing. Being real. Knowing what you life is and who you are now. Who is this person and what do they say? How do you express that which is within your heart? When you find your voice empty of anger, empty of pain but full of love for who you really are. Greet you heart and express, in what you say, how you are to those around you. Honesty in how you listen to what their heart is telling you about them.
A life lived to the full requires the courage of your mind to trust your heart. In trusting your heart with childish knowing even when those around never understand your wisdom. For now to stay to leave? To find another way?

Thursday 26 th November 2009 Love is for who in your life and for how long? The only person who will journey through your life, from beginning to end, is one special person - YOU. To love you is to know you. To know you is to love you. How many times will we let people stand between the most important relationship in our life?

Friday 27 th November 2009 Do you agree how when we have a fulfilling relationship with our true self then all of the relationships we have or are yet to make take on a new light. How do you see them illuminated from such a new light?

Saturday 28 th November 2009 Inspiration is around us every waking day of our lives. It never changes or comes and goes. No, it is rather we who fluctuate between being connected as we create or act to remove blocks to the flow of such inspiration in our daily lives.

Sunday 29 th November 2009 A phone call today, a message of invitation. To be surprised by life is one of the most precious joys which can be taken as a gift.

Monday 30th November 2009 What and who is a thing of our past and how we relate to our future? The people and places from our past are no longer a part of us save in our dreams and they exist as dreams to enable us to mould a different future.

Tuesday 1st December 2009 To travel far in our lives is a journey which began before we were born. Our birth was to engage on such a journey and never will we falter with each step we take through out life.

Wednesday 2nd December 2009 To embark on expressing our wisdom as images and not words which tumble in a myriad of expressions requires the mirror of another to enable our wisdom to come forth.

Thursday 3rd December 2009 Perspectives change as our life unfolds bringing new ideas, experiences, understanding, loss and gain. True perspective is wider and larger than our life and each days events for us are within but not of this world.

Friday 4th December 2009 Understanding and wisdom of life are our birthright which some handle with care for the precious self we are. When our life may appear broken we may look within and discover the depth of our wise understanding of the event which has unfolded.

Saturday 5th December 2009 The reflections of our futures are often seen from our past but not of our own thoughts but rather what others saw and reflected to us then. Examine what they saw and told you now in your present and from this you will know your future.

Sunday 6th December 2009 How can you know and enjoy the light unless you see the darkness. Not all will know or understand what we know, see and understand but such people are there for us as much as we might be there for them.

Monday 7th December 2009 There is no instruction book for life yet written save for the knowledge of our soul as we express all and more of who we are and what we know how to express.

Tuesday 8th December 2009 Beauty is life when life unveils her holy face. But you are life and you are the veil. Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror. But you are eternity and you are the mirror.

Wednesday 9th December 2009 To return to a theme in our life brings a simple lesson into sharp focus. What one simple thing do we need to change in this regard - forever?

Thursday 10th December 2009 To loose track of time is to liberate one aspect of self beyond measure. Then to return to time with such insight means you know where you really are.

Friday 11th December 2009 Power resides within oneself. We may share our thoughts, feelings, life and journey but only when we choose to do so. How often we forget how the choice is always ours.

Saturday 12th December 2009 Transitions, how many and in how many ways to have known, discovered, celebrated in your life and how would you tell another of the joy which resides in your heart in living such a life?

Sunday 13th December 2009   Soul weary is when we have walked a path which doesn't fully represent who we really are.

Monday 14th December 2009 We resonate from our past but from a distance which is a firm and clear place of strength, power and choice for our future. In viewing and choosing our past the future becomes clear and honest.

Tuesday 15th December 2009 As we enter each season of our lives we bath in the warmth of our summers gone, autumns of reflection and springs of revelation which bring forth the multifaceted layers of our unique being.

Wednesday 16th December 2009 We all know how to love but we learn the nature of how to engage in both the love from others and equally our love for ourselves.

Thursday 17th December 2009 In ageing we grow closer to the self we left in our childhood as we no longer look to the outside world but to our self to know who we really are.

Friday 18th December 2009 - A reflection of the future is closer than we often realise. To know is the simple action of quieting our conscious mind for even a short while in time and then seeing our dreams as our reality.

Saturday 19th December 2009 - As another year moves towards our personal history we reflect no longer on the past and celebrate what has been but rather on who we really are along the journey we wish to call our life. What answers echo in our mind?

Sunday 20th December 2009 - To know our God is to know ourselves and then to revel in the power we wait yet to express.

Monday 21st December 2009 - How precious is this life we live - if from the heart your love you give - a gift of love is just the seed - a spark of hope to heal life's need - for love has endured the test of time - connect your soul and make it shine - heaven now shows you who you are - part of God's eternal star.

Tuesday 22nd December 2009 We inspire others as we take our breath away when we speak our truth. A truth as old as time which can be heard by all who care enough to listen.

Wednesday 23rd December 2009 When we cannot see our direction then we know our real goal and when we are lost we begin the real journey.

Thursday 24th December 2009 From far away - I heard life's voice - Telling me - I have no choice - The chimes now strike - For all to hear - So find your voice - And make it clear - Your words - Will resonate with all - Who feel moved - To heed the call - Don't be afraid - You are not weak - So step out in the world - And speak !

Friday 25th December 2009 Closed for Christmas.

Saturday 26th December 2009 What a nice rest from thoughts....

Sunday 27th December 2009 Now to return home after a wonderful time of sharing at a simple but clear level with wonderful friends.

Monday 28th December 2009 - From far away I heard life's voice. Telling me I have no choice. The chimes now strike for all to hear so find your voice and make it clear.

Tuesday 29th December 2009

Wednesday 30th December 2009 Call forth no one other than yourself and express who you truly are so others may receive and thereby respond in truth.

Thursday 31st December 2009 Nothing other than that which you know from your heart as instuction for your mind. Allow life to be lived as experience of a greater knowing which observes life's path in all its expression.

NOVEMBER 2010

At the end of October 2010 the publication of the first volume of my book 'Life's Meaning for Today' was completed and the next volume, two, is currently being prepared by me. The content of the book is largely quite different to Life's Meaning here on the internet pages. For here, as daily quote, I have used other peoples as well as my own which I created especially for these pages. In the book they are all my own quotes as well as some new ones which haven't, as yet appeared here. In addition there are a some poems by my oh so talented friend and colleague Ensa Pittoco.

Since publication the response has been amazing in terms of peoples positive reactions to the content, especially the way in which many use the pocket book. One lady, who also bought three additional copies; one for her daughter, one for her neice and one for her mother as 'early Christmas presents', said how she had learned to use the book on a daily basis.

Anticipating what she was about to say I asked her how she had grown to use my book. "As my day unfolds there may be an event or a thought that I need to understand from a broader perspective. To gain that broader perspective I simply take your book out of my pocket, concentrate on my question for a second or two and then open a page at apparent random."

"How does the books response fair on average", I asked.

She smiled at my question and there was a pause before she replied "It hits more than the mark for me every time and at many many levels. In the sense that I immediately take one understanding and then later in the day I reflect and can see yet another angle for me to consider."

"Then my book is doing all that I had hoped it would in your life" I replied.
