What Do You Stand For

If you don’t stand for something, you’ll probably fall for everything.

At times of transition, change and transformation many people take a back seat perhaps in the hope that they can avoid conflict, confrontation, uncomfortable feelings and having to get involved.

In our lifetime, there have never been times like these and things are moving at a hell of a pace!!

Instead of burying your head in the sand and pretending it will somehow go away, ask yourself why you are here? What is your role in the collective and what gifts do you have which will serve and support others at this time.

We need gifts of love and community. We need kindness, understanding and compassion. We need enthusiasm and creativity. We need to be clearly aligned with our inner light in order to keep showing up sustainably with daily nuggets of wisdom, intuition and authenticity.

The world needs you. The world needs each and every one of us to wake up. You may feel as if your contribution is a drop in the ocean; remember the ocean is made up of trillions of interconnected droplets each one an essential part of the whole.

With so much love - Vicki ❤️❤️

Pause & Reflect

In these times of transformation it’s important to slow down to the pace of the soul. You may be used to going a hundred miles an hour from one thing to the next and for a while your body can do that. But if you want to avoid burnout, live longer well and do the inner work, you need to slow down.

The soul takes as long as it needs to acquire the lessons of elevation. There is no rush, no sense of urgency, more a steady, steadfast determination to keep showing up, with an open heart and an open mind.

Now more than ever you need to listen, listen carefully to the whispers of your soul. What are you being called to do? What is your part in the collective whole and where do you need to focus your energy?

Live the question, not the finite answer.

Love & light - Vicki ❤️❤️

Spirit of Adventure

In my mid twenties I worked as a rep for a holiday company in the south of France. It sounds glamorous, it wasn’t. The hours were long and the customers often unappreciative to the point of being rude. That said, I loved being away for 8 months, living in a warm climate, learning fo speak French and experiencing a totally different culture and way of life!!

Every week we organised barbecues, cheese and wine parties and excursions for our guests. At the start of the season for the first cheese and wine evening, I bought local wines and a wide range of beautiful cheese and pate. The majority of the guests refused to try the cheese and pate just because they didn’t recognise it. This was a massive learning curve for someone who invariably chooses the unfamiliar for a new experience and personal growth.

What do you choose?
Are you someone who routinely sits in the same seat or consciously moves somewhere else?
A different seat gives you fresh perspective, an alternative view of the world which ultimately changes everything.

Small change, big difference - Vicki ❤️❤️

Wild & Free

“Until we can understand that we are spiritual beings who have occasional physical experiences - rather than physical beings who may have occasional spiritual experiences - then we remain tied to a one dimensional world that goes nowhere and ends in death.”

John Clements is a member of the INEH. This quote is taken from his book Healing Through Ageless Wisdom in which he draws on a lifetime of study and experience. John examines the qualities required of healers, the role of meditation and psychology and the influence of energy centres on physical and psychological health, wellbeing and wellness.

Always with love - Vicki ❤️❤️

Celebrate Life & Love

Travelling back to Leicester after a five day cosmic experience on our INEH conference weekend followed by two magical days with a dear friend.

I am reminded that when you step out of routine into the world of adventure, you begin to let go. It doesn’t happen immediately, but the events of today have shown me the infinite everyday possibilities which we may miss due to a preoccupation with the mundane and the trivial.

Life can change in an instant, it is fragile and precarious and in truth we spend way too much time stressing over things which have little meaning, substance or consequence. This is the reason why everything must be celebrated from a cup of tea to a three course banquet!!

Go with awareness - Vicki ❤️❤️

Soulful Sunday - Standing Steady

How do you stay grounded when all around you things are unstable, volatile and unpredictable?

I have been a practicing member of the INEH - International Network of Energy Healing since I qualified in 2012. This work is an integral part of the professional services I offer both in person and online.

Our annual conference is a joyful place of love and friendship with a rich and varied programme gifted to the group by members. This year we stayed at the Franciscan Centre Ladywell, a beautiful retreat house with extensive peaceful gardens, excellent facilities, delicious food and generous hospitality.

My heart is full - Vicki ❤️❤️

Rooted In Love 🫶🏽

Our annual pilgrimage to the Bluebell Woods at Groby is an intoxicating, magical, almost other worldly experience.

Some years ago I read Some Kind of Fairy Tale by local author Graham Joyce. The story intrigued me and reminded me of the emotion I felt when reading The Magic Faraway Tree as a child. Although I loved the sense of adventure when entering a new land, the fact that I may not be able to return to the familiar one was terrifying.

Time travel, or the ability to merge between worlds has long captured my imagination, what is seen, what is unseen and by whom? What is possible when you believe, or are at least open to possibility!!

It’s moments like these which inspire me, fill me with hope and remind me of the beautiful world we
have on our doorstep and the importance of protecting it.

Staying rooted in love is challenging in these turbulent times. Yet where there is love there is no fear, and love is the very foundation for creativity, dreams and inspiration. Making time daily for being in nature is the perfect reset for grounded stability which we all need, especially at the moment.

Love is the way to love - Vicki ❤️❤️

A Show for Our Time 🫶🏽

When friends mentioned they were going to this show, I had no idea of the incredible experience that would unfold.

Directed by Paul Foster, the production marks the first major UK revival of the musical since 1992. Currently playing in Curve’s Studio Theatre until 25 April, then transferring to Bristol Old Vic from 29 April to 16 May and Mayflower Studios from 2 to 6 June.

So why is this John Kander and Fred Ebb’s superb score and this glorious show so rarely staged? Maybe it’s just a bit too real, especially at the moment..

Set in a Buenos Aires prison cell, the story follows the developing relationship of Molino and Valentin. To protect himself from the harsh conditions of daily life, including torture and r**e, Molino escapes to the world of the movie screen.

The material is challenging, but I left the theatre with so much hope for the steadfastness of the human spirit and reminder of the power and resilience of love.

Amazing vocals, beautiful set, stunning choreography and dazzling costumes. Thank you Curve, Bristol Old Vic and Mayflower Southampton for your courage and vision to make an audience think and feel. Catch it if you can!!

Soulful Sunday - A Moment of Calm

Staying rooted in love at times of chaos is challenging and something which needs our daily attention. An absolute non negotiable for me is a walk in nature where I can listen to and hear natural sounds. It instantly settles my nervous system and resets just about everything!!

What’s your favourite decompress?

Love always - Vicki ❤️❤️
