After a long period of writing, refining, and reflecting, I’m pleased to finally share the cover of my upcoming book.

It explores themes that matter deeply to me, and I can’t wait to open the conversation properly.

Here’s a first glimpse of what’s coming next month.

More soon, but I’m curious what you think of the cover.

Release details coming soon.

It’s Derek McGillivray – A Happy Medium here 👋

Have you noticed how different life feels when we haven’t seen the sun for a while?

That warmth on the back of your neck.
That glow on your shoulders.
That natural lift in your mood.

When it’s missing… we feel it.

Living for years in Aberdeen, and now Elgin, I got used to grey skies — but recently nearly three weeks without sunshine in Aberdeen made the national news. And it really got me thinking…

Because sometimes life feels like that too.

Cloudy.
Heavy.
Flat.

But here’s what I truly believe…

☀️ The sun doesn’t disappear — it’s just hidden.

And it’s the same with us.

Your light…
your warmth…
your happiness…

It never leaves.

It just gets covered by stress, overthinking, worries, responsibilities, and life’s knocks.

That’s where taking time out matters.

A reading.
A healing session.
A coaching chat.
Space to breathe, reset and reconnect.

Sometimes that’s all it takes to clear the clouds and feel like yourself again.

You don’t have to wait for the weather to change…
you can reignite the sunshine from within.

✨ I’ve got availability over the next few days if you’d like a session or a wee chat.

Drop me a message — my door’s always open.

Sunday Gratitude Post ✨

This weekend has been one of those lovely reminders that life is made up of small, precious moments.

We travelled to Aberdeen to see James Arthur live on his Pisces tour — just a man, a guitar, and an incredible voice.
Simple. Talented. Powerful.

It even brought back memories of my brother playing guitar years ago… funny how music can open the heart like that.

It was also a Christmas gift for Angela, so it felt extra special sharing that night together ❤️

Before that, we had a short but beautiful visit with our grandson — seeing the wee man resting peacefully and his mum recovering well. Those quiet family moments mean everything.

The weather? Pure Aberdeen… wind, rain, and “why did we drive here?” 😄
But we made it to P&J Live, back safe to the hotel, and even enjoyed a wee dram before bed.

Nothing wild.
Nothing fancy.
Just time together.
And sometimes… that’s exactly what the soul needs.

It reminded me that even when life feels busy or tough, the good moments always come round again.

So today I’m feeling grateful for:
• Music
• Memories
• Family
• Health
• And time with the ones we love

Slow down. Take it in. Life isn’t just the big milestones — it’s these quiet blessings in between.

Here’s to carrying gratitude into the week ahead 🙏

🌱 When Change Whispers Before It Shouts

This week brought another layer of awareness for me.

I’ve been waking at 3:33am — twice now.

In numerology, 3 is communication, growth, and expression.
33 is often called a master number — linked to guidance, compassion, and support.
For me, it’s a reminder that I’m not alone, and that my support team — spiritual and practical — are nudging me to pay attention.

When I was speaking with my specialist about my high blood sugars, she asked if I was stressed.

My answer was an immediate:
“No — I deal with things.”

But as we talked, the penny dropped.

A new part time job — the first time in 15–20 years working for a company/ organisation instead of being self-employed.
Serious illness before Christmas.
Family health worries.
Turning 60.
Becoming a Grandad soon.
Life quietly reshaping itself.

All positive… all handled… yet still change.

And here’s the truth I’ve learned:
Even good change asks the nervous system to adapt.

You can love change and still feel it in your body.
You can be coping well and still need space to process.
Awareness often arrives gently — before things tip out of balance.

For me, 3:33 wasn’t a warning.
It was an invitation:
Slow down. Listen. Integrate the change.

And once I acknowledged that — my body, mindset, and blood sugars suddenly made a lot more sense.

If this resonates with you, know this:
Change doesn’t mean something is wrong.
It means something new is forming.

And sometimes the bravest thing we can do is pause long enough to let ourselves catch up 🌿

🤍 Support Through Change

If you’re navigating change — whether it’s work, health, relationships, identity, or life transitions — I offer one-to-one sessions focused on:
• Change awareness & integration
• Stress held in the body
• Mindset, grounding & emotional regulation
• Practical and intuitive support during life transitions

📍 In-person & online sessions available

You don’t need to be “falling apart” to need support.
Sometimes awareness is the beginning of balance ✨

What’s the Craic?
👉 Trusting positive outcomes – even when life throws you a curveball.

One of the biggest misunderstandings about past life regression is this idea that it’s “just going back for a look”… like watching a movie for a laugh 🍿
It’s not.

It’s soul-level awareness.

Whether you believe in past lives or not, what matters is this:
the patterns are playing out NOW.

You can’t change what’s already happened —
but you can change what happens next.

I often say to clients:

You can’t rewrite the movie… but you CAN choose the role you play from here on in.

It’s like my old days as a union man —
Folk would say, “They can’t sack me.”
And I’d say, “They just did.”

Now comes the real work:
• Accept what’s happened
• Take a step back
• Ask: What did I learn from this?
• And most importantly… What will I do differently now?

Because if you keep doing the same thing,
you’ll keep getting the same result.

Past life regression isn’t about living in the past.
It’s about breaking cycles, healing patterns, and creating better outcomes — right here, right now.

So… what’s the craic with you today?
Are you repeating an old pattern —
or are you ready to choose a new ending? ✨

What’s the Craic with Wishes? 🌸❄️

Look at this…
Snow on the ground.
Freezing air.
And still — the flowers are coming through.

That’s the craic right there.

Life doesn’t wait for perfect conditions to grow.
Neither do your dreams.

Even when things feel cold, stuck, or a bit “ma heid is mince”…
Something inside you is still pushing through, saying:
👉 There’s more for me yet.

A wishing well isn’t just about tossing a coin and hoping for magic.
It’s about:
✨ setting an intention
✨ believing in yourself
✨ and having the faith to take the next step — even if you can’t see the full path yet

Just like these flowers…
You don’t need sunshine all the time to bloom.

If you’re wondering:
• what direction you’re meant to take
• why things feel stuck just now
• or what’s trying to grow in your life next

That’s where card readings and life coaching come in.
A wee bit guidance, a wee bit perspective, and a reminder that you’re stronger than you think.

So… if you were standing at this wishing well today…
👉 What would your wish be?

And are you ready to gie it laldy and believe in it? 😉
