2017

SEPTEMBER

What interesting times we live in on our planet at this time. All predicted. Time of chaos and change. And,ever the optomist, I see change for the better. The old and outworn is coming up to be cast away. Old ways dont go without a fight!This month, I have the LOVE IN ABUNDANCE retreat in Italy and I am really looking forward.

My friend Helen and I have birthed a new concept. GOLDEN RAY TRANSFORMATIONS. Under the this banner we intend to run a series of Retreats, Seminars and Courses. Right now, we are putting our plans together.

I am also putting together some powerful One-to-One half day workshops so that I can give individual attention to each of you. If you are really serious about making lasting changes in your life, my workshop is for you. The idea is still in the formation process, but I will keep you informed.

Through reading Chris Walton's book GAMMA HEALING, I have made miraculous changes in both my body and my affairs and I am keen to learn more. Im going on a course with him in October , to be fully accredited , so I can pass on this miraculous and highly innovated scientific breakthrough in healing to you.

 

AUGUST

FROM EGO TO MASTERY

The truth of our being is Divine. We are God/Source incarnate.
Spirit is the Life Force within us. It is our Be-ing-ness. The living, breathing essence that is our BE-ing is our life. If we did not have that within us, we would be dead.

We are pure Spirit, temporarily inhabiting human bodies (Earth suits, for while we are here!) That Divine Essence which dwells within and through our physical body is God. If you have a problem with that word, use the word Source. Source not only dwells within us, but we also live and move and have our BE-ing within it. Source is us in the Absolute.

The true essence of who we are is Infinite. The truth of who we are is Unlimited. Therefore our essence is unlimited Love. It is unlimited Prosperity. It is unlimited Health and Well-being. It is Unlimited Vitality. That is what we are. That is the truth of our Be-ing. "And the truth shall set you free"!

Why then do we experience lack and limitation of every kind? Why are we poor, or sick or feeling unloved? Those limiting feelings come from the finite aspect of ourselves…….our ego. The ego was originally created to take care of our basic survival needs but, somehow, it has got out of hand. The majority of humanity knows nothing of its true nature; nothing of its inherent divinity and lives solely from ego.

The world is controlled by egos. What a fine mess that has got us into! Egos (because the egos believe in limitation) feel that there is not enough to go around. Therefore egos have to compete; have to fight for what egos believe are limited resources. The universe is unlimited. Source is unlimited. Because we are Source in embodiment, what we believe we create. We can create anything we believe in. Since most of us, operating from ego and not from The Self (Source) believe in limitation, we create it. It can be different.

Many great teachers have incarnated over the millennia to remind us of our God-ness. We didn't quite get it. Instead, some tried to make these teachers into gods and founded whole belief systems around them.

Thankfully, because of the shifting paradigm of the age we are entering, so many are waking up. So many souls are remembering their origin and their true nature. Massive change is afoot.

What can we do to make our own lives a 'heaven on earth'? We can take time out during the day. Just a few minutes is all it takes. There is no need to sit in the lotus position for hours, or to chant mantras or clear our chakras. When we can truly remember who we are and keep that awareness of our God-ness in our daily lives, we need not strive to 'develop our psychic powers' or learn a new and better healing technique, our True Self, the Spirit within, is already super psychic and has all the healing powers one could ever need. Jesus, who prophesied and healed and performed miracles said "These things that I do, ye shall do them but in greater measure" .He did not lie. One of the greatest acts of healing we can do for one another is to remind them of who they truly are.

To move away from ego limitation and into mastery, all we need to do is to take a minute or two, close our eyes, and become aware of the Spirit within (Source) See that Spirit within as a light in the heart area and know that that is who we truly are. Allow that Divinity / Light to dissolve all limitations. Let it dissolve the limitations on the physical level of our lives: the financial lack and the physical ailments. Let it also dissolve the limitations of our thoughts and our limiting belief systems.

No effort is required. It is a gentle process of saying to oneself, while feeling it and knowing it…… "The truth of my being is unlimited Love. The truth of my being is unlimited Vitality. The truth of my being is unlimited Abundance. It is what I am. As I am God /Source being me, there can be no lack or limitation of any kind". It is important not to let the saying of this be an empty repetition of affirmations. It is best if it is an awareness. Soon we will not even need the words. The knowingness within will take care of it all.

This awareness is to be without struggle. Does a rose struggle to bloom? Does a cloud struggle to float in the sky? Do the ocean waves struggle to lap against the shore? No. They just are. Some of the great teachers and philosophers who seemed to abound in the thirties; folk like Ernest Holmes, Emmet Fox and many others, continually exhorted their followers to 'practice The Presence'.

Three to five minutes several times a day can and will make a huge difference in our lives. No longer is it necessary to 'work on ourselves' or strive or struggle in any way. Once we realise (real-ise) the truth of who we are, all need for struggle falls away.

Simple? Yes. Easy? Maybe not .It will be whatever we believe it to be. We have become, over aeons, entrenched in limiting belief systems and indoctrinated with limiting ideas about who we are, that it takes a little time to change. Let's make it easy. Let's make it gentle and flowing. Let us approach it like a feather dancing on the breeze.

Because we are all part of the Whole, as each of us changes, we change the whole. So there is no need to go out and change the world, or indeed, save the world. As Buddha said "Let there be change, and let it begin with me".

Many on the planet today are achieving Mastery. Now, we too, can aspire to it. It is but a thought away.

JULY

Our Retreat in Kefalonia was mind blowing. There was not one single thing we could find fault with.

Lovely group of very special ladies who all got on so well together. They also felt so safe in the environment provided and were able to open up and reveal their inner pain. Many shared some deep pain from way back and left at the end of the week transformed. (Which was actually the point of the weeks retreat!)

Please click on some testimonials below

The super FIVE STAR Apollonion Hotel was as amazing as ever. With fabulous food and every amenity.

We had the huge hotel swimming pool, but just down the road was the beach. The sea was warm and inviting. On one end of the beach there is some therapeutic clay, so we had great fun covering ourselves in it, letting it dry and then washing it off in the sea.

On the last day before we left, we had no workshops on, so we took a luxury limo and had a tour of the island , visiting many places of interest.

 

MAY

To remind you of January's general predictions for 2017 , I am reminding you again of what the angels had to say for the world in 2017. Even more interesting as the year is now unfolding. You can read the full message by scrolling down to previous Acushla's Journal messages.

January If you thought last year was unpredictable........as someone once said " You ain't seen nothing yet" ! Fasten your seat belts and get ready for a topsy-turvy ride through 2017.

If you are one of those aware people, someone who has been doing the work on yourself, Then expect this year to be one of opportunity. Openings occur , serendipitous encounters lead to amazing breakthroughs and life takes on a whole new meaning. You have work to do!

For those who are still asleep; those who are enmeshed in the material world and who deride the spiritual aspects of life, this is going to be a rough ride year. Life will give you many opportunities to wake up. The universe always has our best interests at heart. If you are rigid in your beliefs and opinions and not prepared to grow, then you are likely to have some painful experiences in the coming months. If you are hanging on to hatred and condemnation, let it go or it will bite you in the you-know-where.

The polarisation between those who are working with the Light (or good) and those who are not, becomes more apparent this year, but even those who work with the dark energies will be given a chance. They have free will and can take it or leave it.
Globally, there is a continuation of uncertainty. There is likely to be a newsworthy event which could rock the United States. Europe continues to unravel and there will be political shocks to add to the confusion. The question is not so much Brexit or not Brexit, but will there be a E.U to exit from in the next few years?

A currency crash is also on the cards for this year or next, unless something magical intervenes. The cracks begin to show in China. Japan experiences instability. Both Koreas have continuing problems. Russia gives the world some surprises and not necessarily bad ones.

The Middle East , ever chaotic , becomes even more so. South America experiences drastic regime changes in several countries. A new virus emerges in Africa. Africa continues to experience wars on small and large scale.

Is anywhere safe ? Not really. The CHAOS is just a continuation of what has already begun. This chaos has been predicted by many seers and prophets down through the ages, they all predicted these times.

THE GOOD NEWS is that this chaos is predicted to be followed by a new period of enlightenment. Chaos always precedes breakthrough.

HOW TO STAY SAFE. Be connected. Link in to the Higher Power of your understanding, whether that be God, Source, Angels, your very own Higher Self or some Higher Being of Light. You will be guided. Asking for Divine help, support and protection, you will always be in the right place at the right time. If you keep your frequency high, and that means not entertaining fear, you will not attract low frequency situations or conditions. It would be impossible. Low frequency

situations would not be a vibrational match to your thoughts and your state of consciousness.

It is as simple as that!

APRIL

Spring is here! Don't you just love this time of year when nature is bursting forth and sharing her Abundance with us all. Year after year, the seasons come and go and are such a great analogy for life itself. We have our 'Summers' and our 'Winters'. It is a reminder for us that when we are experiencing a metaphorical Winter, Spring is just around the corner..

Now I am back and excited about all I have going on here. Life is such an adventure!

Regretably, Lyn and I have had to cancel two events planned for June and July due to booking issues with the centre. Nobody's fault, just one of those things. I am philosophical about most things today and if something doesnt happen as it 'should', I feel there is something better instead.

One of those strange 'synchronicities' I had on my last trip abroad.........On a visit to a lovely Indian friend, she presented me with a copy of The Zohar as a gift. (The Zohar is connected with The Kabbalah). Then two days later at my book launch, a lady asked me if I knew anything about The Kabbalah. The following weekend, staying with a lovely Canadian friend , she was reading a book called 'The Power of The Kabbalah' , I picked it up and couldn't put it down. So I am reviewing it for this months Book of The Month section on my web page. Well worth a read*

I hope you all have a fabulous Spring.

MARCH

I hope that you are all safely navigating the turbulent waters of 2017.
Whatever you do, do not give in to fear and panic. This rather tricky time has for long been prophesied and the prophecies also said that a time of more peace and understanding would follow.

Each of us has a responsibility now, to focus on the good and the light. Not condone but neither condemn the perpetrators of what we perceive to be bad or evil, but to send them light and , above all, unconditional love. So-o-o difficult to do. Yes. But it is the only way.

The antidote to Fear is Faith and the antidote to Hate is Love. Let us rise above our ego based personal feelings and shine the light of our individual and collective divinity to dispel the darkness.

If each of us tidied up our own corner then, collectively, we could brighten up the world. And, we WILL.

FEBRUARY

I am just back from another successful and enjoyable trip to Copenhagen. The Danes are such lovely people. Wherever I go, whichever country, people seem to have the same issues; the same hopes and dreams and the same concerns. It is all about the human condition. My guides and angels help me to help people wherever and whenever I can. What a privilige!

~ ~ ~ ~

As we all feel the impact of changes in our world of today, we feel bewildered, frightened, maybe even angry. We feel powerless and frustrated in our ability to have any effect. What can we do?

Mike Dooley, an author for whom I have huge respect gives us some answers in his inspirational and empowering book 'Life on Eartth' . You can buy it from my shop . Acushlas shop.

MIKE SAYS..........

What's happening in the world lately? How can I be happy when so many are not? Is life about learning lessons or passing tests? Following your heart or taking what's served to you? What's real? What matters? Who says? Who cares? How do we know or find our purpose?

Many of us ask ourselves these questions, and many more, as we go through our days and try to make sense of our lives. Mike Dooley asks them too, except . . . his questions get answered. Wisely. Compassionately. Fully. One such answer explained its source, stating that we all have a higher self within that predates this life and will live beyond it, and thus it knows a whole lot more than we do at "street level" about where we've been, why we're here, and what will likely happen next on planet Earth.

Life on Earth takes the form of a journal in which Mike asks what's on his mind during pivotal times in his life. As one of today's most respected New Thought leaders and reality theorists, he offers a lofty platform for this wide-ranging dialogue that powerfully expands our perspectives on essential truths, taking on topics such as:

- Why and how to see through the "illusions" of life on earth
- How to make sense of natural disasters and manmade tragedies
- Living deliberately, creating consciously, and finding your power
- Wealth, relationships, "past lives," and the evolution of consciousness
- The ultimate reason for life on earth, and elsewhere (it's shockingly simple)

These are questions asked from the heart with a cautious, even suspicious, mind. Mike explores the subtleties of the replies in depth and detail using his trademark wit and realism, in this intrepid explorer's guide to the jungles of time and space.

What's happening in the world lately? How can I be happy when so many are not? Is life about learning lessons
or passing tests? Following your heart or taking what's served to you? What's real? What matters? Who says? Who cares? How do we know or find our purpose?

 

GENERAL OUTLOOK FOR 2017

If you thought last year was unpredictable........as someone once said " You ain't seen nothing yet" ! Fasten your seat belts and get ready for a topsy-turvy ride through 2017.

If you are one of those aware people, someone who has been doing the work on yourself, Then expect this year to be one of opportunity. Openings occur , serendipitous encounters lead to amazing breakthroughs and life takes on a whole new meaning. You have work to do!

For those who are still asleep; those who are enmeshed in the material world and who deride the spiritual aspects of life, this is going to be a rough ride year.

If you are rigid in your beliefs and opinions and not prepared to grow, then you are likely to have some painful experiences in the coming months. If you are hanging on to hatred and condemnation, let it go or it will bite you in the you-know-where.

The polarisation between those who are working with the Light (or good) and those who are not, becomes more apparant this year, but even those who work with the dark energies will be given a chance. Thye have free will and can take it or leave it.

Globally, there is a continuation of uncertainty. There is likely to be a newsworthy event which could rock the United States. Europe continues to unravel and there will be political shocks to add to the confusion. The question is not so much Brexit or not Brexit, but will there be a E.U to exit from in the next few years?

A currency crash is also on the cards for this year or next, unless something magical intervenes.

If you keep your frequency high, and that means not entertaining fear, you will not attract low frequency situations or conditions. It would be impossible. Low frequency situations would not be a vibrational match to your thoughts and your state of consciousness.

It is as simple as that!

All pretty gloomy you say. Yes. But remember not to focus on the gloom. Visualise the Light. As each aware person focuses on the Light, you add your light to dispel the darkness. That is how you can collectively save the world.

That is happening right now. All over the world, Lightworkers in every country on the planet are meditating,visualising the light, sending the light to troublesome situations and just being the light themselves.

Be a part of this change. Do not focus on what is wrong. Focus on the errors and send Light and Love to the errors and to the perpetrators of the wrong-doing.

Do not be a part of it. As a wise teacher once said ' Be in the world, but not of it'. Be the witness to it and send the Light and Love. This is how the predicted Shift will take place. And it will. A new Dawn is on its way. When? It all depends on us.

So play your part. Do not be one of the 'ain't it awful' brigade. You do not have to condone wrong doing or atrocities , but neither condemn them as you only give them energy. As Einstein said 'What you focus on, you get more of'.

Do your bit. Be the change you want to see. Practice Love everywhere; in All situations, large and small.

If you walk in love, you will have a great year in 2017

2016

 

I would like to recommend a great book to help you with your life. Book of the month Dr. Deborah Sandella is changing the way we perceive our emotional selves and giving us some powerful steps to master our feelings quickly so we may come to terms with the painful memories that block our success. But............you can read all about it at Book of The Month. And buy it at my shop. I try to bring you helpful books and anything else that I feel may enhance your life.

To further enhance your life, I have a whole raft of courses, workshops and RETREATS planned for next year. You will surely find something that is just right for YOU. (See News and Events)

Love and blessings to you.

OCTOBER

Greetings!
We now move into Autumn. So much is going on in the world and it seems a scary place to be at times.
This is a time to fasten your seat belt !
In the midst of chaos, keep centred. Keep connected. Keep connected to your own Inner Divine Self, that part of you which is eternal. That part of you which sees and knows all and will guide you lovingly through any turmoil.
Do not be influenced by your ego's fear and worry. Neither be influenced by the egos around you.
Chaos is necessary before change can occur. This time of change will lead to a better time in the future. Be assured of that.
Keep your thoughts positive. Focus on all that is good and bright and loving. What we focus on, we get more of.
I want to share some thoughts with you that may help you to go from victimhood to Mastery..............

FROM EGO TO MASTERY
By Anne Hassett. (Acushla)

The truth of our being is Divine. We are God/Source incarnate.
Spirit is the Life Force within us. It is our Be-ing-ness. The living, breathing essence that is our BE-ing is our life. If we did not have that within us, we would be dead.

It is Unlimited Vitality. That is what we are. That is the truth of our Be-ing. "And the truth shall set you free"!

SEPTEMBER

Last month , I had a great trip to Denmark. I met some lovely people. I am so fortunate that in my kind of work, the people who come to see me are usually spiritual people or people who are searching and have an awareness.

THIS MONTH, in BOOK OF THE MONTH, on my website , I am reviewing a fabulous book by Gregg Braden. He is one of my heroes. I just love all of his writing. His marriage of Science with Spirituality is enlightening.

In 'TEACHINGS FROM ANGELS' , Archangel Raphael has some interesting things to say about Forgiveness.

In NEWS AND EVENTS, you can read about the events for this year and also for the exciting venues and events for 2017. How lucky am I to be able to do all this as my life's work.

My life wasn't always so, I has some miserable times in the past: Times when I did not want to be here on the planet; times of sadness, fear and utter despair. But, isn't it the hard times that make us what we are. They either finish us off or we rise above them and grow. I believe we are here to grow. And it was when I realised that my awful times were actually the school of life and not a vengeful god out to get me (because I was a 'bad' person) that I got the freedom to become the Witness rather than the victim.

Kahlil Gibran says 'Pain is the breaking of the shell of our understanding'. How right that is.

Overcoming my fears and challenges brought me to the realisation that what I wanted to do with my life was to help others. Actually, to help them to help themselves. For that reason, I offer one-to-one Psychic Readings and Spiritual counselling. I also offer empowering workshops and retreats.

I am continually learning and, as I learn, I pass on what I have learned to my clients either through my one-to-one sessions, my books,my messages from the angels on this website or at my courses and retreats. There is so much joy in passing on our experience, strength and hope.

My work is not entitrely altruistic, as I get so much fulfillment from what I do!

 

 

AUGUST

This is the month when most people take their holidays. I have had a busy month so far and have my Denmark trip coming up on 24th. However, I did manage to take a few short breaks and had a lovely time with friends.

It is so important for us to take breaks: to recharge our batteries. To do otherwise is counter-productive. Nature is our teacher. And if we look at nature , we can see that everything has a season. A season of rapid growth and a season to rest and build up strength for the next burst. It is in our moments of relaxation and quiet, when we stop 'doing' and allow ourselves to 'be' that we get our brightest ideas. They seem to come out of nowhere.

For the same reason, in the rhythm of our day, we need to stop now and again, even if it is just for a few minutes. Switch off and connect. Connect to our Higher Selves or to the Higher Power of our understanding. These are the creative moments. These are the moments when we turn off the chatter of the monkey mind and connect with something greater; something which is outside of time and space and has access to all wisdom and all knowledge.

Give yourself the gift of time out.

The rewards are great.

And, enjoy your summer!

I have been busy creating Acushlas Shop to make it easier for you to access my Book of The Month recommended books . You will also find my meditations in MP3 form for you to download , and some Tarot and Angel Cards. Enjoy!

If you enjoy the books and have some time, I would really appreciate reviews of the books as this will help other readers.

Loving blessings to you.

JULY

I read recently about 'Imaginal cells'.

It made me think about our human evloution. From limited human to expressing our innate gloriousness.

"The caterpillars new cells are called 'imaginal cells.' They resonate at a different frequency. They are so totally different from the caterpillar cells that his immune system thinks they are enemies...and gobbles them up--Chomp! Gulp! But these new imaginal cells continue to appear. More and more of them! Pretty soon, the caterpillar's immune system cannot destroy them fast enough. More and more of the imaginal cells survive. And then an amazing thing happens! The little tiny lonely imaginal cells start to clump together, into friendly little groups. They all resonate together at the same frequency, passing information from one to another. Then, after a while, another amazing thing happens! The clumps of imaginal cells start to cluster together!.., A long string of clumping and clustering imaginal cell, all resonating at the same frequency, all passing information from one to another there inside the chrysalis."

"A wave of Good News travels throughout the system-- Lurches and heaves...but not yet a butterfly."

"Then at some point, the entire long string of imaginal cells suddenly realizes all together that it is Something Different from the caterpillar. Something New! Something Wonderful!....and in that realization is the shout of the birth of the butterfly!"

 

 

 

 

JUNE

We had the most amazing time on our SUCCESS AND WELLBING retreat in Kefalonia , so much so that we have booked the hotel for next year ; May 14th to 21st 2017.

The beautiful hotel Apollonion was outstanding in every way. We had luxury double rooms with no extra charge for single occupancy. The food was just too good. Yes, TOO good. I could not resist all the lovely meals, especially the deserts……no good at all for my figure, but Oh, so good for sheer pleasure.

There was every imaginable amenity and the staff were so lovely.

Our participants all jelled very well and some new and powerful friendships were made. It was great to see the amazing breakthroughs everyone had, and all went home with smiling faces, renewed resolve to change their lives, and tools to create the lives they really want.

It was a joy and a real pleasure to have been part of this powerful experience. I can't wait for next year.

My next retreat is the one with Lyn Stones in Pershore, Worcestershire. It will be a weekend on 'LIVING IN THE NOW' and will be held at the quaint and historic Holland House. 30th September and 1st and 2nd October. Details in News and Events page.

 

APRIL

A week or two ago, I took myself off to Holland House in Worcestershire for a few days break. It was fabulous. Holland House is where Lyn and I will be holding our retreat at the end of September. It is a beautiful old building, inside and out, with wonderful gardens. I felt embraced by its warmth and nurturing hospitality. I enjoyed the peace, the spring flowers and the sound of the birds. I can't wait to go again.

These times are challenging. Everyone I meet seems to be troubled or in turmoil. The collective consciousness of mankind is changing. We are being bombarded by cosmic energy. This energy of galactic light is removing all that no longer works for us, both collectively and individually. It can be painful, but the result should, and will, benefit us all.
Remember, I am here for you to help you navigate these changes. A one-to- one psychic reading may be just what you need right now. Or come along on one of the retreats. We all need help. And to help you is my mission and purpose.
Many blessings to you.

MARCH

I had a lovely time in Copenhagen. And came back to a hectic schedule for this week.

Life is to be lived! My favourite poem at school was 'Ullyses' by Tennyson, it starts with the line " How dull it is to pause; to make an end; to rest unburnished,not to shine in use, as though to breathe were life......" etc. Even as a child, I reonated with that concept and have always lived life to the full ever since.

I hope you are doing the same. Then when , one day, you lie on your death-bed, you will not say " I wish I had done this, or that or whetever else".

Life is such a gift. Even the painful times. In fact the painful times may be the greatest gift of all, as it is then we grow. Our pain pushes us to the limits of our abilities and we gain new understandings regarding what we are capaple of. I think it was Winston Churchill who said " Problems are opportunities".

My worst times in my life, have in retrospect, turned out to be the best. But, Oh at the time, how they hurt!!

Live your life. Love your life and , above all , don't take it all too personally!

FEBRUARY

The 8th of this month is CHINESE NEW YEAR. The year of The Monkey.

You can expect the unexpected this year. Fast moving change ; lots of new ideas , especially in the area of innovative new technology. There are likely to be surprise changes of heads of state, with at least one assassination of a high profile head of state and not neccessarily in the Middle East where such things have become commonplace.

More and more secrets and hidden cover-ups will come to light. The light begins to shine in dark places. There could also be a lot of meaningless talk and hot-air, but out of this chit-chat, some great nuggets of truth and information emerge. Social media is the place where you are more likely to learn what is really going on, than what you are told on mainstream media.

Block-buster movies bring many things to our notice and have a positive effect on changing the collective consciousness.

Whether or not you were born in the year of the Monkey, this should be a good year for launching new projects and new ideas as the energy generally is lively after the stagnant energy of last year.

Be prepared to be adaptable. Plans may change at the last minute and what you expect may not happen, whereas positive and unexpected things can happen in an instant.

The financial world can expect some rocky patches, but nothing too drastic is likely to happen.

Hang on to your hat, its going to be a helter-skelter ride and an exciting year!

I have several retreats planned and you can find them on my webpage at NEWS AND EVENTS. These retreats and courses are all geared to help you to navigate through your life and to optimise your opportunities and eliminate your negative beliefs and overcome your challenges.

Pets could be a cause of some concern.
Lucky numbers: 3 and 31

DOG
Your self worth will get quite a boost early this year. But isn't it time to realise that your self worth should not come from others but from inside of yourself. If this has been a problem for you; if you think your self esteem is not good, get help. See a therapist or listen to some Self-help C.Ds.
Do not let other people demand too much from you. If you are seen as someone who will always be available and fill in when needed, now is the time to make a stance. Say 'No'. Such a little word , yet so hard to say.
For those of you in employment, promotion and pay rises are in the offing and for those who are self-employed, great gains are likely.
You might also think of adding a new skill or qualification to your repertoire. The more you know, the more leverage you have in life.
Love life is challenging, Do not make any hasty decisions in that area. Think before you leap into anything.
Lucky numbers. 8 and 30

PIG.

Paper work and documents need attention. A good space clearing session would not go amiss either at this time. Clear away all unwanted clutter. Simplify your life.
All debts for last year must be cleared up now. Do not take any negative situations forward into this new year or they will hold you back. You need, as far as possible, to start with as clean a slate as you possibly can.
Not the best year for borrowing and , if you have to, go to private investors rather than through banks. Better not to borrow at all.
Relationships with spouses need to be looked at and some changes need to be made. If you are not getting what you need from your present relationship, then re- negotiate or change entirely. Do not be a victim.
Make sure you have at least one good holiday this year. Do something which builds you up rather than depletes you. Go to a Spa or go on Retreat for at least one of your breaks.
Off-load connections with acquaintances that are not supportive too. Just back off. This makes room for newer and better friends to enter your life.
By the end of the year you will be counting your blessings.
Lucky numbers, 8 and 27.

 

JANUARY

Happy New Year to all who come on my website.

Hello!

Another New Year! I have seen a fair few of them in my time.................but it is always exciting. We come in to a New Year full of hope that 'this year , everything is going to be different; better'. Thankfully, as a species, we are blessed with eternal optimism.

How often has nothing really changed. The number on the calender is not what needs to change. It is WE who need to change. We need to change our consciousness; change our way of thinking and acting, if we are to see any real change; any real improvement.

We need to take responsibility. This month for my 'Book of the Month' I am recommending a really good book called IGNITING SUCCESS BEYOND BELIEFS by Juliet Vorster. I bought it for myself for Christmas. It's good.

To help you to make strides ahead, I will be running various workshops and retreats in the coming months. You can see all about it on News and Events section on my website.

I believe that we are all here on planet Earth to grow and learn. And perhaps to take our experiences back to Source. Thus enriching the whole. The more we learn and grow, the more we benefit not only oursleves but the collective consciousness.

Nice Testimonial for my book 'The Secret power of the F--word'.Now renamed 'The Power of saying F*** it'.

Dear Acushla,
Thanks for bringing readers the gift of "The Secret Power of The "F" Word". You have skillfully utilized a very straight-forward, simple writing style to explain the otherwise very hard to comprehend concept of the "Higher Self".
Reading your book brings not only tremendous enjoyment but also a great sense of inner peace with the assurance that life is indeed filled with fun and joy just like how the roses blossom in the nature beautifully without losing any sleep on how to bloom. "Let go and Let God", what a great wisdom that you have given to your readers!
In addition, I like how you have used the Prodigal Son parable towards the end of the book to let us know that as long as we are willing to trust our faith in God through our prayers, the Father/Source would appear half way to greet us and embrace his beloved children with endless mercy and redemption.
Thanks for offering your readers such a high wisdom and reassurance about life. It surely is an amazing book that any reader around the world will greatly benefit from!
