Halloween - Evil. Horror. Fear.

Halloween

I'm not a fan, I must be honest.

The thought of fear being instilled into people...

As a creative, my mind is easily spiked to include manifestations of the most horrific kind that purely and surely couldn’t be true.

I’m much more an “I believe in angels and magic” type of person.  Thinking of Halloween as something evil and inviting bad spirits around isn’t a welcome thing at my door!

Last year, a simple drive to collect my daughter saw me drive past some child size teddy bear thing on the pavement. Strange. As I drove closer I couldn’t help but take my eyes off the road and stare.  The head of this creature seemed to stare straight into my soul and cocked his head to one side with increasing intensity of weirdness.  Freaked out, I began to wonder if I had imagined this. I’d never seen anything like it before.

Yesterday, a parcel arrived for me. It was ‘prep’ for an upcoming biopsy I have to have. UGH.  31^st October.  More horror to add to this day.  So where is the light in this shade?

2 years ago my mother came to live with us.  People love her.  She laughs at everything. Which is wearing, you can imagine.  She and I are chalk and cheese.  She has dementia and the laughter and chatty side of her is magnified. 

Her old house was in an area of town where they used to put  up signs saying “No trick or treaters” as it was constant knock knock knock at the door to the point of driving everyone crazy.

Yet in my road, there are rules. If you have a pumpkin out, it means you can knock.  Despite my surgery that day, we will be well stocked with ‘treats’ and I will leave mum in charge! Opening the door to well dressed children while parents stand back looking on.  No doubt mum will love the banter and if it puts a smile on her face for a few hours, there is nothing evil about Halloween at all.

Should you invest in a coach who cares? YES!!!

Sometimes, I get overly passionate and it can spill over into angry.

These 'coaches' who are worth thousands.  Yes there are those who really are worth investing in and no-one is a bigger fan of those coaches than me.  They need to charge high prices and that is what they are worth.  Yet those are the types who will deliver amazing value.  They will check in on you, really care about your results and they will have you chomping at the bit to improve your life and business.

Recently, a good friend of mine invested a lot of money though an obviously impressive sales funnel.  The pitch was good. It would have to have been as to part with the kind of money my friend did was HUGE. She even told the creator of this coaching course the money spent should really go towards clearing debt but she believed in investing in herself.  Personally, with this request, I would have nurtured that potential client. I would have sent links to plenty of free stuff which every coach should be putting out there, and I would encourage paying the bills instead and working on the free content enough to then earn a little more in order to sign up to a course.  Upon signing up, (consider this is thousands of pounds) I would then go ahead and check on my students.  To charge this kind of money, send a once a week PDF teaching nothing new and not even check in on them is lazy, unspiritual and this coaching business can only have one outcome in my book.

More and more we are hearing pitches from coaches and we are knowing it is a great way to help us get ahead in our business.  Yes.  I agree.  But greed on the coaches part should not be what this industry is about.

Previously I have mentioned Brendon Burchard.  He is a total master at coaching. He also has great morals and is a huge success.  Now, admittedly I have bought a couple of his books and signed up to a very long and content packed audible book.  Yet these were minimal costs. If he were to come to the UK and do a coaching course, I would be tempted.  Yet the cost might not be within reach for many. What makes him a success is you can be coached BY Brendon no matter what your status. He is open for all.  I love this.

Over on my Youtube channel, each Monday I post a video called Motivational Monday. Loads of people use Motivational Monday now.  It's a great thing! Obviously my videos are free and often just me rambling on in the car while driving to somewhere important. Yet a handful of people find these of value.  Go and see the comments, you will see. 

If you are tempted into these coaching programmes that are teaching you to be a coach, please do not get the dollar signs in your eyes. It's not about that. It's about you wanting a 'job' where you can give value to others who need different beliefs and can do a different job and create a lifestyle they love.  Do not omit the part which says you give value.  Your business is only going to be known for this.  Start with love and the rest follows.  If you truly want to help those who can't afford your courses, give the free content which will help them and watch them come back and be in a position to pay next time.

Signs from loved ones from heaven?

Yesterday saw the end of Strictly come dancing 2017. It was amazing.  I could not take my eyes off the screen.

Dad and I used to dance.  I feel he sent me some vibes and a very big clue from heaven.

At the age of 12 I began the typical 'modern dance' that young girls do.  A year later it was ballroom and latin.  I loved it.  Scoring high in the 90s for my medal tests, I just felt dance was a part of me, a part of life.  Without it I simply wouldn't feel my heart beating.

As a family we would head off on dance weekends and I just couldn't get enough of it.

Beginning my career at 18 I had to pull away from the dance school and all my friends which was a really hard thing. I felt sure they would always be there for me though and the bond we had created would not be broken. I was sure they would understand just how hard my job was.

Even so, still I would bop while working, constantly. 

The career had to take a detour when I became a mum, also becoming single at the same time.

Adorable twins kept me super busy for a year.  Then I realised I needed to get a life back. Once a week I used to get mum and dad to babysit and I would go to a new type of dance I had never tried before, Ceroc.  I LOVED IT.

Shortly after this, my aunt fell so unwell and I knew that all the while I had the physical ability to dance, I should.  The same year I ran my first race for life with an ambition of running the total 5k regardless of how long it took.  I also became a Ceroc finalist at the National competition in London. I was blown away.  Coming 5th out of 160 couples.  My partner and I had the best time and we became unbreakable, or so I thought.  Dance made me feel alive.  So alive.  Keeping my mental health  in check and I hadn't realised at the time but my physical health too.

Ten years ago I fell in love. My new man was keen to come dancing with me too.  He could move pretty good.  I loved dancing with him and didn't mind at all that I was back to basics again.  We even headed to the competition floor after my previous partner told me he wasn't competing that year (but then did compete, with a much better dancer than me).  My new husband and I were knocked straight out.  Then a decline began. 

"I'm not sure I will come tonight, might get an early night. You go though..." of course I didn't go.  Well, you don't, do you.

Dancing Queen is on my funeral song list.  Which surely shows I feel I'm still that girl.  

Having not danced now for at least 8 years, my mental, physical health and wellbeing is just in ruins. Yet I refuse to believe it's done for.  It will come back.  Dance may help.

Having been thinking this for a couple of months since I became single,  it was on my mind every episode of Strictly.  

Glued.

Last night, the final...each time someone walked into the living room I paused the TV, not wanting to miss a second of it.  The dance, the sequins, the hair and make up.  All so amazing.

My competition days are over. I know this.  My back crumbling and my muscles wasting.  Yet I have to try.   My eyes on stalks.  I loved it. The music.  There she was.  There was me.  I could have cried.

Then I realised.....as the winner was about to be announced,  right in front of them was the trophy.  A glitter ball.  I gasped.

The night before I was at the university christmas ball.  We pulled crackers.  

My prize was a glitter ball.

Thank you for the message Dad xxx

Even more clarity than ever before - how to get it!

Hello Everyone

Let's get really deep and nitty gritty.  Are you ok with that?  Stay with me, this is important.  Now sometimes when I write on subjects like this I feel it is being channelled from somewhere bigger than me.  Which means that on occasions, it can be deeper than my mind would usually work.  So stay with me, ok? 

This is important.

Yesterday,  for the biggest time ever I felt total clarity.  I want to share with you how and when it may happen for you.

So many spiritual gurus go through a journey which is sometimes tricky to make sense of.  I will tell you why.

Spirit is housed inside this human body right?  You know that.  We are here as spirit having a human experience.  Now I believe this with every part of me.  Since I lost my Dad I have more than believed it, I have Known it with a capital K.
Ego is the part that we think with.  This confuses us.  Certainly confuses me anyhow!

Within my heart (and yours) we have a knowing of what life we would love.  It's a gut feeling.  Something inside.  Right?  Tell me you have felt this.  Then we shake our head in disbelief and tell ourselves, "No."  Why do we do that?  Because our dream life is almost too good to imagine.  

Literally, as I write this email, this "Note from the universe" popped through:

It takes a BIG person, Louise, to accept full responsibility for their own happiness.  It takes an even bigger person to accept full responsibility for their own unhappiness.  But, Louise, it takes a spiritual giant who, upon realizing any degree of unhappiness, decides to be the change they seek, in spite of having to endure the "same old, same old" that may still linger on for awhile.  Yeah.  Fee-Fi-Foe-Fum,      The Universe

What about that?  Exactly what I'm talking about here.  Maybe those words resonated with you and you are there nodding along in agreement. 

For absolute years now I have been studying how to get clarity in life.  How are we supposed to know what our job should be here on this earth?

Reading over and over about going back to childhood.  

What did you enjoy doing as a child?

What would you do if money didn't matter?  (That is likely what you were doing as a child if you had no bills to worry about)

What is the thing that really makes your heart sing?

What could you do all day long without getting bored?

The list goes on....

Writing time and again on this blog of how writing was always my childhood thing (did you see the blog post about how I rewrote Grease?) and how I didn't tire of writing sweet letters to my Grandparents.  I would quietly sit in my tiny bedroom at home listening to a mono record player and burning an oil lamp.  Still now, music and candles are very much a part of me.  Without these things I simply don't feel complete. 

My beautiful friend Stacey and my big hearted other half Scott listen to me over and over repeating the same things again and again on how much I want to write.

So write I do.  Yes, in full 'living my dreams' and 'living on purpose' I sit and write.  All the while, that ego is tapping away inside my head saying, "What will people learn from you?  What do you know?  What can you share?  What can you write about that will be a job? What knowledge do you have to share?"  

The answers are usually something uber practical.  Something people can actually get a hold of and do something with.  Like cooking.  For example...

Yet I really would love to write about love.  Life.  Dreams.  Wishes. Hearts desires. Life. Did I mention life?

Spending time yesterday with the twins at Thorpe Park, I was sitting writing the day away while looking at my stats.  Not only could I not access my nutrition website, but I began to notice that all the things I am doing with passion, are the biggest audience already!

Hang on, lets say that again.  I already have the audience.  

Really?!! So, I have been over thinking this massively.  You guys who read this blog, and those who watch my Youtube channel are my biggest audience.  So, why?

Not only have I been 'rambling' for years on both those outlets, but I have been fairly consistent (I could be more consistent) and I have created with passion.  So how come I hadn't realised before that this could absolutely be my future?

Bad backs and anxiety have me kind of wanting to do this more than ever and knowing that I absolutely and definitely could has filled me with total joy.

So within this blog and website I will share more with you on how you can gain clarity and live your life on purpose but I will bet my bile duct (a quote from Cocktail, the movie) you already know what it is.  Your ego is getting in the way of you listening properly!

I wish you much love and clarity

Louise xoxo

Dr Wayne Dyer

For some reason, it's taking me so long to write this piece.

Fear of getting it wrong,  being respectful enough, saying the right thing...


Years of watching Wayne Dyer,  reading his books,  meditation to his "ahhh" sound meditation should have me knowing better.
There is no wrong or right.
There just is.
If something comes from a place of love... (my fingers were flying around the keyboard then but now have stopped...)
Never, do I ever struggle to write.  I know exactly why I struggle now.  This may get emotional for me as I let go right here with you now.

The place of love that Dr Dyer speaks of is so brimming over inside me.  I almost have an attachment to it.  To the point where I fail to understand anyone else who is not also trying to show love,  give love,  breed love,  be love.  Just being sweet and lovely to all who you meet.
Animals.
Humans.
Plants.
The stars.
Sunsets.
Sunrises...

Every single living thing.  Every emotion.  Every feeling.  Every hunch.  Giving it all love has become my way of life.  To a detrimental point.

Believing that Wayne Dyer,  among many other teachers,  has got me figuring out my life purpose and also what I should be learning for myself in this human experience.  You see, I don't just believe we are having a human experience,  I feel I know it.  We are spirit in a human body.  Here to learn.  Here to teach.  Ready to improve onto the next life.  A beautiful spiritual soul I once knew explained to me that she felt we would keep coming back into different bodies and different lives time and again.  Once we had completed all our lessons,  our spirits would become guardians for those like you and I who are enjoying being humans.

While I don't know enough about the afterlife and the soul, I am learning.  What I do know is that I wished I had that magic wand that we all speak of.  Could I wave it,  I would have just loveliness in everyone.  Right now,  as we all mourn the sadness of living a world without being able to meet Wayne Dyer,  his work lives on.  His books,  his films,  they are all out there.  He left his teachings behind for us to work on.  I,  along with many others,  are tuning in more than ever to his teachings and figuring 'stuff' out.
It's quite a ride to figure out that humans are not perfect.  Not everyone will be sweet and lovely all the time.  There is evil and hate.  People who give that away so freely can be so hurtful for those like myself.   Personally, I would never give that off to others and it hurts so badly that so many other humans walk this earth with that as their entertainment.
I'm working on it,  Dr Dyer.  I hear you.  Yet it still hurts.  Perhaps when it hasn't, I may have learnt my lesson and can be walking beside the other amazing spirits such as Dr Dyer.  Until then,  this human/spirit is a definite work in progress.

Sadness overcame me at the news Wayne had passed almost two weeks ago now.  Yet he would be so happy that so many people are revisiting his work and re-learning and reminding themselves of all that he taught us.  His 'people' have made this more accessible than ever for the likes of you and I and if you have never tapped into Dr Dyers work I would urge you to take advantage of his books and films.

"Don't die with the music still in you." Was one of his famous quotes.
"When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." Wayne Dyer speaks of the Law of Attraction.  Try it.  See.  It'll be so true you'll freak out.

Wayne Dyer touched my soul.  There were many many times I would watch his talks on my laptop and get an overwhelming sense of relief, happiness and joy after.  Thinking of him often now.  I wonder where he is, with his smile and the gentle 'knowingness' that surrounded him.

My deepest condolences to all who loved him.  Even if that's you and you aren't family.  Yet, weren't we so blessed to have known him.

The news report released by NBC is here.


Dr Dyer on Amazon

Until the end of September, if you visit This link you can watch "My greatest teacher" for Free.

I would love you to tap into his work and see just how magical it is.

Thank you,  Wayne Dyer for all the amazing work you have done and the lives you have touched.


Sending more love than ever to you all

Louise xoxo
