Dia Dhuit

So I've been doing a little soul searching lately and have stumbled upon the magic of Irelands Celtic roots. I find myself being pulled further into the extraordinary realm of the Devine, along with all the insight, love, acceptance and understanding it carries on angels wings.

Tuesday's reading with my Goddess Guidance Oracle Cards.

A Friendship Blessing

May you be blessed with good friends.
May you learn to be a good friend to yourself.
May you be able to journey to that place in your soul where there is great love,
warmth, feeling, and forgiveness.
May this change you.
May it transfigure that which is negative, distant, or cold in you.
May you be brought in to the real passion, kinship. and affinity of belonging.
May you treasure your friends.
May you be good to them and may you be there for them;
May they bring you all the blessings, challenges, truth,
and light that you need for your journey.
May you never be isolated.
May you always be in the gentle nest of belonging with your anam cara.

Reminiscing

London is lovely. I can't help but reminisce about the Australian summer though as I sit by the heater and look out my window into the cold. 

Feeling a little home sick today. 

October On Instagram

I only discovered Instagram a few of months ago and I absolutely LOVE it! 

1. A rainy day in London at the Science Museum. 

Part of their emotions exhibit. 

2. Brick Lane Market. Freaking awesome!! 

3. My first pint in London Town!
Brick Lane, Shoreditch.

 4. Marilyn Monroe. <3
The Walk of Fame, Hollywood.

5. VIP Lakers baby!

Don't you just love it when you accidentally purchase VIP tickets? Haha!

6. The Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco.

"Leaving San Francisco is like saying goodbye to an old sweetheart. You want to linger as long as possible." - Walter Cronkite. 

7. Highway 1, California.

A must do drive.

8. Shopping in America is my favourite!

9. A morning in Monterey. 

I highly recommend the Wharf's crapes. Mmm. 

10. Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, California. 

11. Milford Sound, New Zealand. 

This place took my breath away! 

12. Queenstown Lovin'. 

New Zealand.

13. Lake Wanaka, New Zealand. 

Yep, it has been a fabulously crazy past month of travel but I'm ready to hang my hat up in London and settle down.
Perhaps for a little while, anyway. Hehe!

Moving Mountains

For the past couple of months I have found myself wandering without a home. At first, I felt lost and unaccomplished - then I found a home inside myself. A safe, warm and loving guardian to both protect and push. 
It was amongst New Zealand's arresting mountains that I discovered this inner peace, accompanied with an even greater zest to truly experience every foreign land I am blessed to set foot upon. Such smallness and frailty is evoked from being around these commanding beauties. I want to remember this feeling of being so grounded and humbled.

Spending time with Stevie.

Day one of my challage was a huge success and this morning I woke up feeling just as energised and keen to dive head first into my next songwriting session. Before I jumped though, I paused for a moment to consider inspiration and what inspires me. Hands down, it has to be this woman!

Stevie Nicks: 

for all the heart and raw emotion she pours into everything she does. Her ability to turn a mess into a masterpiece will never stop inspiring me. 

A friend shared this with me a little over five years ago. Still to this day it is impossible for me to watch it without getting all choked up.

If you'd like a deeper insight into this amazing woman and her songwriting check out this interview with Lynne Margolis.

Musical Musings

I have time to spare and inspiration a plenty! So what shall I do with this bubbling mix? I'm setting myself a challenge: a song a day for a week.

Guitar? Check! Pen and paper? Check! Faith? Check! 

Ready, set, GO!!

Lifting weights

Today I awoke to meet this eerily beautiful morning.
Life is good.

Why does inspiration always strike at bedtime?

It's a cruel occurrence.

Under a Fluttering Light

Dai Ko My

I have a person in my life,

I find hard to take.

I have a person in my life,

I cannot easily escape.

I ask for stillness, wisdom and the strength to be kind,

To be understanding and show compassion,

 When they speak their mind.

To be able to brush away hurtful words and tones,

And lastly to remember,

I am never alone.

Nature's cocktail

What better, and might I add more delicious way, to connect with nature then to drink it, right? 

This is my favourite fresh juice at the moment.

Carrot, celery, beetroot, ginger and apple.

I’ve also discovered that I’ve nailed my cocktail with it being the perfect combination of ‘hot’ and ‘cold’ foods according to Tibetan medicine. 

Did I mention that it is also deliciously scrumptious?

The beginning...

I’m off to a good start.

I recently had a reading with a clairvoyant who among many things encouraged me to connect with my surroundings, feel nature’s presence and learn to touch more.

Not two weeks have passed and my boyfriend and I have packed up our busy inner city lives with whir wind pace and landed in far north Queensland – Dorothy style. Well at least that’s what it felt like.

It marks the beginning of our year of travel.

We’re starting with two months in far north Queensland on banana farm in the middle of nowhere –more formally known as Bombeeta. You want nature? BAM! I’m dead set in the middle of it – bugs, toads, rodents and all.

It has taken some time but farm life has slowly begun eroding away my city girl ways and I’m learning to enjoy having the wilderness in my home. This has not been without the occasional minor breakdown of course, and insect repellent, lots of insect repellent! This new home is spoilt with natural beauties to explore, and explore it I shall.

Dreaming

It started with a dream. 

I have no recollection of this dreams beginning or ending, only the feeling it left me with: an irrefutable need to start a blog.

I had it designed. The creativity that would be unleashed, the ideas that would flourish and the magic I would create. I was convinced that this was my calling – so much so I had an argument with myself to wake up and ink all this inspiration down. Regrettably, this did not eventuate. I managed to convince myself that I had in fact woken up and put all these thoughts to paper - in reality my indulgent side won and I continued my sleep non-the wiser. 

A month ago I had a physic reading. It was the second in my lifetime and reaffirmed an unsettling feeling I’ve had for almost a year now - I have lost myself. I used to live to create. Lately, I’ve lived to exist. Distracted by three jobs, study and relationships I lost my drive and passion, and with it, myself.

So, here is to turning over a new leaf, reconnecting and unleashing my creativity. 

Hold on tight! 

Love Leelu
