Oh yes, definitely is a need for three candles today.

The last week has been difficult. Concentrating has escaped me. With a poorly daughter, and a mum taken into hospital (who I usually care for) things have been very different around here.
Yesterday, while trying to fix things in the house, some pretty hefty stuff fell on top of my head. I know that sounds comical, and I do have the bump that you would see in Tom and Jerry, but it made me feel a little less dynamic.

So today, we journal, we Potter, and we take an easy road where possible. Sometimes it’s not always about being kind to others but also kind to yourself too. It is also world sleep day today. So before we change the clocks next weekend, why don’t you get yourself an extra bit of rest tonight.
๐ค๐ค๐๐ค๐ค
My research has shown that it’s so incredibly important for health to get the right amount of sleep. It’s not too much or too little, it’s just the right amount. Just like Goldilocks. I wish you an amazing day, And a wonderful weekend.
My desktop Mac is having some difficulty with waking up to enough speed to keep up with it's younger version of the laptop. Well, since starting my Doctorate, I've realised, a couple of screens is essential.
I was excited to drive, to wear my sunglasses, to sing loudly and to feel like a little bit of 'normal' life was going to be a part of my day. Since my daughter has been unwell (see the story here) I have not left her side. But I made sure she was comfortable and not going to leave her room in the duration I was away at the huge, beautifully designed shopping centre called Bluewater.
Walking through the centre, I was shocked. it was completely empty. silent. I could hear my footsteps.
as I snapped photos to share with you here, I was thinking. I sent a silent voice from within my head to the shops, the upturned chairs, the darkened rooms, "it won't be long."
The plan to open is April 12th. Let's hope that is the case.
This was the best day ever. Started full of love, the sun shone, the music was amazing, I lost my voice with singing (always a good sign), the Apple staff were amazing as always, and I did grab a takeaway Starbucks too. Perfect. Life is good. It's coming back to us in Kent.
Have you ever really tried to change things in your life and can’t? All you end up doing is getting yourself frustrated with it. But you might not realise, is that it’s all in your programming. And there is a way that you can change this programming for the better. Making your life more rich and positive in lots of ways.
This is not your fault.
You might not know this up until now, but your subconscious brain is in charge of the show. 95% of the brain is run by subconscious thoughts. So when you try to change things, you are trying to change them with only 5%, which is the conscious brain. Did you know this? If not, then chances are you don’t know how to change things either. In this video, we will go through the process of teaching you how to change things so that you are able to reprogram your old beliefs and mindsets. Making life better for yourself is so much easier than you actually would’ve thought. I wish you lots of luck with this, do let me know how you get on! And if you want me to share my story with you and the things that I’m working on, just leave me a message and I will get back to you.
A day in the life of a writer - illuminating people to your dreams.
See how things went a little wrong with this video.... just shows you never to take anything for granted,
On this day, I planned to just share a day in the life vlog, you know, usual morning routine and all that normal stuff. Yet, strange as it is (or maybe not, in my life) I woke up today and decided I need to be way more clear. You guys need to know who I am and what I can offer you.... this was my thinking during my journaling time and I decided that if there was only one thing I could label myself as it wouldn't be:Travel Vlogger
Renovation expert
Property developer
Influencer
but it would simply be Life Writer.
Sometimes I like to share works of fiction. But more often than not, I speak about life experiences and the inspiration that comes from living as a human being.
Just as this got crystal clear this morning, I edit this video which is exactly what it says - a day in the life of a writer - I'm a writer it seems haha. I do make myself laugh!
See the video here: and let me know what you think!
PS subscribe to the channel and keep an eye on this website as there is big news and loads of videos coming up which will benefit you in your manifestations.
The most incredible thing happened the other day which saw me floating with joy.
You know that place your mind goes to just before you sleep and just after you wake, theta state?
“Theta is the intriguing border between the conscious and the subconscious worlds. ... While in a theta state, the mind is capable of deep and profound learning, healing and growth.” Huffington Post.
I was falling asleep and felt an epiphany moment. Twenty minutes before, despite being very comfortable in my cosy bedding, I was unusually awake. My phone was already on aeroplane mode, so I chose to listen to a guided meditation which was already downloaded on my phone. There were parts of it which I found super frightening. The man’s voice was echoing certain words and I could visualise a gargoyle reaching its ugly head out to me. Which posed the question, why isn’t this meditation more relaxing than I was experiencing? Of course, me being me, being an inquisitive mind, lead me to a place of wanting to create more guided meditations, as I have successfully done in the past. Yet, being a creative writer, I also could make some of those very simple bedtime stories. The feeling that coupled with this was sheer joy -this was the right thing.
Mike Dooley, from The Secret, had just hosted an amazing course which got us participants thinking about our next big manifestation. What did we want? Simple as that. I knew my one big want. It was to achieve even more success with my Youtube channel. And somehow, I felt that creating a new channel with the bedtime stories on them would be the way. It was a knowing. Of course, it will take more work. But this will provide a great service for those who need a little extra guidance to get to sleep or to meditate these days. A few days later, the name of Absolutely Mesmerizing came to me as if by magic.
That was all before I slept.
I had vivid dreams. Big ones which didn’t always make sense. I had broken a lucky 8 ball and there were intricate details around that. A little girl, about five years old, with a very soft and tiny hand was holding my left hand as I tried to push another, older girl, in a wheelchair. We walked through a door into a faceless wedding party where a bride and groom were taking their first dance. I could hear the song as clear as day, “All my life, I pray for someone like you…” and as I woke, I knew that bride was me.
The shock which ran through my body was incredible.
Would I have said I was closed to that idea? No. But I hadn’t realised I wasn’t open to the idea at all, once I’d ‘felt’ the dream.
So, to my shock, I sense he is coming and suddenly my left hand felt empty. It was almost like a craving as if my finger was calling out to have something placed upon it. Total coincidence (there are no such things) my amazing friend was showing us on Instagram the rings she has recently started designing and having made. I had seen these before. One gemstone caught my eye but it was set in gold. I like gold. But for some reason, I had thought, ‘if I was to have that gemstone in a ring, I would like it in silver,’ and magic happened on this day. She was showing that particular ring in silver. Instantly I messaged her, asking for a price. Thinking it would be over my current budget but perhaps I could sort something later on.
Sally and I had a wonderful conversation around this ring and she said, “Lou, this is made for you. It’s Marine Quartz which means it stimulates your creativity. And its chakra is the heart. You do know, it’s the only one I ordered in silver.”
Wow.
Stimulates creativity = bedtime stories
Heart chakra = love
Sally was right. The ring was made for me. And this was a sample model, so it was affordable and I asked her to mark it as SOLD. It’s all on its way and while I’m nervous, I’m so excited.
