With
so
much
stimulation
jostling
for
space
in
our
awareness
and
 oft
conflicting
messages
being
broadcast
from
every
medium,
it
 can
be
challenging
to
tell
fact
from
fiction.
Under
such
times
of
 tension,
with
a
demand
for
instant
decisions,
communications
 and
responses,
it
is
even
more
important
to
stay
connected
to
 our
individual
truth.
Only
through
our
strong
internal
knowingness
will
we
be
guided
to
live
in
alignment
with
our
highest
purpose
and
the
greater
good. For
some,
it
is
straightforward
to
live
honestly
within
and
without.
 For
 the
 majority
 of
 us,
 it
 relies
 upon
 a
 series
 of
 continual
 choices
 to
 speak,
 behave
 and
 live
 truthfully,
 no
 matter
 what
 painful
resistance
we
may
encounter. As
the
world
evolves,
each
of
us
is
being
challenged
to
address
 those
 parts
 of
 our
 lives
 that
 are
 inauthentic.
They
 vibrate
 at
 a
 lower
frequency
and
as
Lightworkers
we
are
being
called
upon
 to
dissolve
areas
and
realign
them
with
the
higher
vibration
of
 honesty.
It
is
not
always
easy,
yet
it
is
wholly
necessary. Continue
to
walk
your
path
with
your
head
held
high,
believing
 in
your
inherent
worth
and
the
truth
of
your
unique
experience,
 for
that
is
all
that
matters
and
is
required
of
you
at
this
time. This
month’s

Rachel,
Kim’s
perfect
day
involves
gathering
family
and
 friends
together
for
a
competitive
game
 of
rounders
in
a
park,
interspersed
with
 ginger
 beer
 and
 sunshine.
She
 spends
 her
time
forgetting
to
water
her
plants,
 buying
 cookery
 books
 she
 doesn’t
 use
 and
 complaining
 about
 the
 next
 generation’s
inability
to
spell
properly.
 And
give
her
a
coral
reef,
a
snorkel
and
 a
medley
of
brightly
coloured
fish
and
 you
may
not
see
her
again
until
dinner.

Sam
 sometimes
 plays
 a
 piano;
 channelling
multi‐dimensional,
high‐energy
 sounds
from
the
Arcturian
star
system.
 He
 believes
 that
 these
 sounds
 bring
 healing
 and
 awakening
 energies
 to
 the
planet
and
firmly
intends
his
music
 to
 encourage
 Earth
 Ascension.
 In
 his
 spare
 time
 he
 is
 prone
 to
 pottering,
 telling
 anecdotes
 and
 is
 an
 occasional
 Hypnotherapist.

Sorrell’s
role
as
a
healer
is
her
life’s
mission,
 but
 you
 may
 not
 recognise
 her
 on
 a
 day
 off.
 
 Playfulness
 is
 a
 passion;
 last
year
she
conquered
her
childhood
 phobia
 of
 zombies
 by
 dressing
 up
 and
 taking
 part
 in
 the
 biggest
 zombie
 movie
ever.

Sorrell
has
an
established
 herb
 garden
 from
 which
 she
 concocts
 medicines.

She
has
been
known
to
mix
 her
herbal
delights
into
delicious
cocktails,
 which
 never
 fail
 to
 get
 the
 party
 started.

Focus the Light

“In life’s wilderness, Choked by the weeds of error - Bloom of beauty: truth.” What
is
truth,
and
what
is
authenticity? Truth
can
be
seen
as
the
degree
to
which
the
conscious
self
is
true
to
one’s
own
spirit,
despite
the
pressures
and
influences
of
external
forces
of
the
material
world
and
others
around
you.
So,
when
you
are
 being
true
to
yourself,
you
are
being
authentic.
In
being
authentic,
one
must
be
mindful
of
stating
the
 objective
truth
(e.g.
your
opinion
on
something). Authenticity
and
Truth
are
essentially
the
same
thing,
but
authenticity
seems
to
relate
more
to
the
 Earthly
concerns
of
self
‐
is
something
authentic,
am
I
being
authentic,
for
example.
Truth,
however,
 we
relate
more
to
that
which
Is,
the
true
nature
of
the
Universe
and
our
reality.
Can
we
ever
ultimately
 know
the
truth
of
it
all,
or
do
we
just
see
what
we
want
to
see? Truth
has
close
relations
with
the
concepts
of
reality,
honesty,
and
integrity. Truth
can
have
a
variety
of
meanings,
on
many
different
levels.
There
must
be
an
absolute
truth
of
 all
there
Is,
but
in
terms
of
what
is
true
to
you,
this
is
based
on
upbringing,
education,
and
one’s
own
 experience.
So
depending
on
the
context,
truth
can
be
subjective,
relative,
objective,
or
absolute.

“To say of what is that it is not, or of what is not that it is, is false, while to say of what is that it is, and of what is not that it is not, is true.” Aristotle What
hinders
truth,
and
what
perpetuates
it? A
closed
mind
and
arrogance
hinder
the
assimilation
of
potential
truths.
Political,
spiritual,
social
or
 moralistic
agendas
enforced
by
a
body
of
people
with
motives
not
resonating
with
the
highest
good
of
 humanity.
Ultimately,
these
are
products
of
fear
and
control
and
keep
us
from
ultimate
truth.

Love
perpetuates
truth. Ego
hinders
truth
and
keeps
us
anchored
in
the
mind,
whilst
surrender
and
trust
in
the
Universe
perpetuates
 truth
 ‐
 personally
 and
 globally
 ‐
 and
 propels
 us
 into
 conscious
 awareness
 that
 is
 closer
 in
 nature
to
truth.

How
important
is
truth
and
authenticity
now? Vital!
The
truth
vibration
is
becoming
stronger
and
is
a
major
part
in
the
coming
of
the
New
Age.
The
 truth
about
how
our
World
really
works
(in
terms
of
government,
corporations
etc.)
and
the
nature
of
 reality
is
key
in
our
evolution
as
a
race.
Truth
will
perpetuate
our
progress. 
 It’s
difficult
to
hide
the
truth
due
to
our
connectivity
via
technology
like
the
internet,
digital
cameras,
 email,
and
also
the
Freedom
of
Information
Act.
Now
that
we
are
at
a
genuine
social
turning
point
in
 our
human
history,
the
next
major
step
of
our
social
and
spiritual
evolution,
truth
and
authenticity
are
 crucial
and
will
naturally
become
more
prominent
in
our
lives.

“You never find yourself until you face the truth.” Pearl Bailey

Cheryl Cole’s Not So Lustrous Locks I
wish
we
lived
in
a
world
where
the
need
to
 consume
and
compare
ourselves
to
celebrities
 did
 not
 exist.
 Thanks
 to
 consumerism
 and
 our
 society’s
 insatiable
 thirst
 for
 more,
 advertising
has
reached
new
heights.
It’s
no
 longer
 enough
 to
 be
 honest.
 DThis product works, try itF,
has
been
replaced
by
a
myriad
 of
 scientific
 jargon,
 statistics
 and
 a
 pretty
 recognisable
face
to
dazzle
us
into
thinking
 we
aren’t
complete
until
that
product
is
in
our
hands.

 products.
TV
shows
aimed
at
women
are
often
broken
up
by
adverts
for
the
latest
shampoo
that
promises
to
take
your
rubbish,

hair
and
turn
it
into
Cheryl
Cole’s.
Yes,
they
would
have
you
 believe
 that
 just
 by
 shampooing
 with
 this
 product,
 you’ll
 suddenly
be
as
glossy‐maned
as
Cheryl.

Laughter Holds Open The Door For Self-Acceptance Talented

 often
 spend
 days,
perhaps
weeks
pouring
their

into
 writing

it

 than
 the
 more

To
 an
 extent,
 it
 takes
 an
 uncommon
 bravery
 for
 songwriters
 to
 broadcast
 their

 whilst
 singing
 the

 Concluding,
he

The Butterfly Song from Sam Joseph’s ‘humanity healing’ album ‘For All I Care’. Did you ever make ‘butterfly prints’ as a child; those pictures where you paint one half of a piece of paper and then fold it over, so that the wet paint prints onto the other side? If you recall them, the paper is then opened to reveal the image, which resembles a butterfly. I remember them fondly and much later came to see those butterfly images as a metaphor. One side is a mirror of the other. Which is like how the universe faces itself. The Yin and Yang. In a sense, it is similar to how people often see externally what is actually within them. And so they say the Universe is a mirror. Appropriately, the album’s title is also a reflection, ‘For All I Care’. Said one way (For all I Care!), it sounds like a nonchalant statement of apathy, but on the other hand, said differently, it is an all-embracing statement of love – For all I care. I guess it depends on what is within you as to how you perceive its message. I intended the music in that album to evoke emotions. So that my listeners could face those emotions – face themselves – and thereby allow themselves an opportunity to release old energy and embrace a more positive future. Or you could say, emerging from the cocoon, a butterfly! The last track on the album – The Butterfly Song - pays tribute to that act of august 2010

emerging from a moment or stage in your life, a lesson maybe, an embarrassing moment, a time when you judged someone, or just complained a lot. It pays tribute to, consciously or unconsciously, transforming and evolving those events into feelings of care; those of love. Love but also acceptance...

F R E E D O W N L O A D

As human beings, a popular adage is, “nobody’s perfect,” and I’m sure that resonates with everyone. But we can honour our past and our mistakes, looking back with new, wiser eyes as we emerge in to a higher place of enlightenment, wherever that may be in this present moment. As a spiritually aware person, I’m sure you can relate to a state I experienced where I thought I knew all I needed to know. It was a happy place, but it was a place where I was sure there was no more room to grow. I was complacent. And then I experienced a series of events in my life (becoming a father, having to forgive some big things, becoming aware of those complaints I was making, that type of thing) when I finally realised I was still growing, still evolving and indeed that there was room in every situation I encountered to be more lovely. So the pathway was still very much there to enjoy as I emerged from the cocoon. I wonder, can you count the number of times in the piece where you think the butterfly has hatched from its cocoon?

When
 I

that
it

about
being

it
was
about
expressing

wanted.

 it

 It
 felt
 like
I
was

I
 had
already
asked
and
he’d
already

 no.
The
risk
in

the

when

 uncomfortable
 is
 this:

The

in

conflict. And
the

Sorrell Robbins

Seeing The Wood For The Trees My
first
thoughts…
does
it
matter
if
we
are
 honest,
should
we
always
be
honest?
What
 do
 we
 mean
 by
 honesty,
 does
 this
 word
 have
clear
boundaries?

I
wanted
a
glimpse
 at
 other
 peoples’
 ideas
 about
 honesty,
 and
 what
I
found
was
discussion
about
truth
and
 lies.

This
might
suggest
that
honesty
is
simply
 a
 truthful
 interaction
 between
 people.
 But
I
was
feeling
a
different
connection
to
this
word,
something
 deeper
vibrating
in
my
soul
trying
to
give
itself
a
voice.

On
reflection,
I
heard
this
voice
was
more
concerned
with
what
honesty
means
to
us
as
individuals,
in
self‐awareness.

How
can
we
 become
 honest
 with
 ourselves
 and
 thereby
 understand
 what
 our
truth
is.
How
can
we
discover
who
we
truly
are
and
thereby
 reveal
the
authentic
version
of
our
selves
to
the
world,
as
a
truly
 honest
person? Meditating
 further,
 I
 found
 myself
 drawn
instinctively
 to
 the
 ancient
Chinese
5
element
theory
developed
over
 4,000
years
ago.

And
as
often
happens
 with
 reflection
 on
 ancient
 wisdom,
 it
 all
 began
 to
 make
 sense
 again.
 
The
 5
 element
 theory
 can
 be
 described
 as
 a
 poetic
observation
of
the
universe,
nature
and
the
human
condition.

As
humans
 we
 grow
 through
 all
 5
 elements
 as
 phases
 of
 our
 lives:
 water,
 wood,
 fire,
 earth
 and
 metal,
 then
 back
 again
 to
water
as
we
continue
on
the
never‐ ending
circle
–
that
is

“

This wood phase of our lives is the time where we develop our capacity for honesty

The
wood
phase

Honesty
in
our
being

During
 this
 phase,
 we
 become
 more
 conscious
 of
 ourselves
 as
 individuals,
 based
 on
 our
 own
 individual
 truths
 –
 rather
 than
 the
 external
 standards
 we
are
exposed
to.

We
peel
away
the
 layers
of
what
is
not
true
to
us
–
those
 untruths
 developed
 within
 us
 by
 the
 expectations
of
our
parents
or
society.

 We
are
no
longer
so
satisfied
simply
to
 please
others,
and
much
more
inclined
 to
please
ourselves.

This
can
feel
like
a
 hard
painful
process.

As
Thomas
Jefferson
 once
 said:
 “Honesty
 is
 the
 first
 chapter
 in
 the
 book
 of
 wisdom.”

One
day
I
hope
to
be
a
wise
 old
lady,
so
I
am
working
daily
on
creating
an
honest
soul,
and
being
this
in
the
 world
for
the
benefit
of
all
my
relationships.

“

During
 this
 phase
 we
 are
 also
 learning
what
our
needs
are
and
where
our
 boundaries
 lie
 as
 individuals.
 
We
 test
 our
strength,
often
seen
as
a
struggle
of
 power
as
we
search
for
definition
–
most
 obviously
 represented
 by
 a
 teenager
 rebelling
against
their
parents’
wishes.

 At
 this
 stage
 we
 may
 mistakenly
 look
 at
external
causes
for
our
feelings,
perhaps
 blaming
 others
 for
 not
 allowing
 us
 express
 ourselves
 when
 we
 would
 benefit
more
by
looking
within
for
the
 source
of
dissatisfaction.
This
phase
of
 soul
 development
 also
 manifests
 as
 a
 search
 for
 attention,
 power
 and
 independence.
 
The
 best
 way
 to
 deal
 with
 this
is
to
pay
attention
to
yourself,
listen
 for
your
inner
truth
and
peel
away
that
 which
does
not
belong
to
you.

In
this
 way,
we
more
easily
flow
into
becoming
 our
 true
 selves.
We
 learn
 who
 we
 are,
 what
gifts
we
have
to
share,
and
what
 we
 need
 in
 return.
 
 This
 growth
 and
 development,
 if
 healthy,
 encouraged
 and
 unsuppressed
 can
 lead
 us
 to
 gain
 a
true
understanding
of
who
we
are
as
 individuals.
We
become
honest
people,
 giving
us
inner
power
and
intuition,
and
 allowing
 us
 to
 bring
 a
 more
 complete
 self
to
our
relationships.

This
search
for
the
truth
in
our
soul
development
is
to
some
extent
a
lifetime
 process,
but
certainly
more
concentrated
during
our
childhood
to
young
adult
 years.
 
 To
 a
 large
 extent,
 we
 engage
 with
this
process
subconsciously.
But
as
 conscious
beings,
how
can
we
connect
 with
our
truth,
especially
when
we
feel
 stuck,
 frustrated
 or
 depressed?
 How
 can
we
free
our
souls
by
learning
who
 we
 truly
 are?
 
 An
 old
 shaman
 taught
 one
simple
and
effective
exercise
I
want
 to
 share
 with
 you.
 
 She
 taught
 me
 to
 feel
the
truth
in
my
body,
and
it
is
really
 easy
once
you
know
how.

 If
 you
 pick
 a
 simple
 truth
 and
 lie
 –
 for
 example,
 your
 favourite
 colour.
 My
 favourite
 colour
 is
 red,
 so
 if
 I
 say
 to
 myself
 “my
 favourite
 colour
 is
 red”
 I
 feel
a
warm
glow
inside
my
abdomen;
 an
expansion,
a
softening.

If
I
say
my
 favourite
colour
is
brown,
I
feel
a
tightening;
a
stiffening
of
my
shoulders
and
 arms.
 
 Try
 this
 method
 for
 yourself.
 Note
 where
 you
 feel
 the
 sensations,
 do
 they
 have
 a
 colour,
 a
 vibration,
 or
 a
 sound?
 
 In
 this
 way,
 we
 can
 feel
 the
 truth
 without
 consciously
 analyzing.
 We
 can
 know
 our
 truth,
 and
 it
 makes
 life
much
simpler.

 All.
 As
 you’re
 reading
 this
 it
 is
 evident
you
didn’t
take
the
‘Goodbye’
edition
to
heart.
May
I
be
the
 first
 to
 say
 welcome
 to
 the
 ‘Honesty’
 edition.
 
 I
 truly
 mean
 that...
 Ok,
 that
 was
 a
 poor
 attempt
 at
 humour! In
the
‘Goodbye’
article
I
urged
you
to
embrace
the
seasonal
change
with
regards
to
your
meal
planning
‐
including
some
BBQ‐ing
tips
(and
warnings)
‐
and
also
in
 your
summer
wardrobe
choices.
I
hope
you
took
these
 on
board,
enjoyed
your
food
(sans
salmonella!)
and
are
 keeping
the
flip‐flop
industry
alive. H,
as
I
alluded
to
earlier,
is
the
Honesty
edition
here
at
 Lightworker.
As
such,
I
am
again
going
to
appeal
to
your
 dietary
inclinations.
See,
I
have
a
saying
I
live
by
as
my
 0ne‐to‐one
clients
will
attest,
and
it
is
this;
“You
can’t
 out‐work
a
poor
diet”.
When
asked
to
explain,
I
answer
 with
a
couple
of
questions:
 1.
How
often
do
you
exercise?
 2.
How
often
do
you
eat?

‐
Are
truly
clueless; ‐
Have
no
willpower; ‐
Need
to
be
made
accountable;
or ‐
Are
struggling
for
motivation.

Do
 you
 fall
 into
 any
 of
 these
 categories?
 If
 so,
 it
 might
be
time
to
take
some
advice
and
get
yourself
 a
 copy
 of
 my
 e‐book.
You’ll
 find
 lots
 of
 hints
 and
 tips
 as
 well
 as
 plenty
 of
 recipes
 to
 keep
 you
 and
 your
 hunger
 satisfied.
This
 will
 be
 available
 from
 Lightworker
websites
from
9th
August.

My
approach
with
clients
is
to
provide
them
with
a
diet
 plan
log‐sheet.
They
diligently
complete
this
for
a
typical
week
and
then
give
it
back
to
me.
From
this.
I
can
 gain
some
perspective
about
their
habits,
pitfalls,
cravings
and
knowledge
of
food
in
general. The
next
step
is
to
give
them
a
new
sheet
to
follow
with
 some
 general
 guidelines,
 as
 well
 as
 specific
 meals
 to
 make.

Most
people
tell
me
they
exercise
3
times
per
week
and
 eat
between
3
and
6
times
per
day
(for
the
record,
those
 on
the
upper
end
of
this
scale
tend
to
be
on
the
lower
 end
 of
 the
 bathroom
 scale).
This
 means
 the
 average
 person
 has
 3
 workouts
 to
 put
 right
 the
 potential
deficiencies
 of
 between
 21
 and
 42
 different
 meals.
Think
 about
that
for
a
moment...

One
thing
I
find
is
that
people
are
seldom
honest
with
 me
 about
 their
 diet.
 The
 reasons
 for
 this
 vary
 from
 embarrassment
to
true
lack
of
knowledge
about
what
 they
 are
 putting
 into
 their
 bodies.
 I
 talk
 with
 clients
 who
swear
they
don’t
eat
carbohydrates
after
midday
 (another
fad
dietary
issue
I
don’t
believe
in,
whilst
we’re
 on
the
subject)
only
for
them

to
complete
a
week’s
plan
 and
see
 ‘white
 rice’
 listed
 as
 a
part
 of
 a
 meal
 at
 9pm!
 Diet
is
WAY
more
than
half
the
battle. This
 particular
 client
 knew
 a
 fair
 bit
 about
 nutrition
 too
so
could
only
have
been
hiding
this
for
my
benefit.
 With
that
in
mind,
it’s
time
to
talk
about
being
honest.
 However,

There Is No Such Thing As An Honest Pirate Sylvie
Roy
is
a
free‐spirit
who
gave
up
her
job
to
follow
her
intuition
and

 discover
her
life’s
true
purpose.

She
resides
in
Toronto,
Canada
where
she
nurtures
her

 budding
career
as
an
intuitive
reader
and
healer
and
writes
a
blog
to
share
the
trials,

 triumphs
and
laughs
along
the
way. Being
 up‐front
 about
 things
 is
 all
 part
of
being
honest,
right?

Well,
 I
might
as
well
get
this
column
off
 on
the
right
foot
by
telling
you
that
 I’ve
been
having
a
heck
of
a
hard
 time
getting
around
to
writing
this
 article.

Why?

Because
each
time
 I
hear
the
word
“honesty”,
I’m
reminded
of
the
song
of
the
same
name
by
Billy
Joel.

And
 not
only
does
the
song
play
over
and
over
in
my
head,
I
 also
keep
laughing
at
an
inside
joke
we
have
about
it
at
 our
place;
you
see,
when
Billy
sings
the
word
“honesty”
 it
sounds
like
he’s
swearing
in
French.

 Sorry
–
was
that
an
inappropriate
way
to
start
my
article?

Once
upon
a
time,
I
would
have
said
yes.

And
I
 would
have
scolded
myself
for
being
such
a
goof.

The
 right
way
to
start
would
be
with
something
that
makes
 me
 sound
 professional,
 polished
 and
 knowledgeable.

 Not
 with
 crazy
 babble
 about
 Billy
 Joel
 unknowingly
 swearing
in
a
foreign
language,
and
how
I
believe
I
am
 one
of
the
only
two
people
on
earth
to
discover
this
immensely
funny
tidbit.

I
mean,
what
if
someone
found
 this
little
story
offensive?

Or
just
plain
stupid?

I
don’t
 think
 I’m
 alone
 when
 I
 worry
 that
 I
 might
 be
 judged
 for
the
way
I
feel,
think
and
act.

And
I
don’t
think
I’m
 the
only
one
that
has
ever
censored
myself
to
avoid
it
 either.
 The
honesty
scale For
as
long
as
I
can
remember,
my
Mom
and
Dad
raised
 me
to
be
an
honest
little
girl.

Since
then,
I
may
have
 gotten
taller,
but
there’s
a
part
of
me
that’s
still
as
innocent
as
I
was
at
5
years
old,
who
wants
to
be
nice
to
 others
and
never
tell
lies.

Sure,
I
routinely
‘lose’
a
few
 page thirty one

dollars
every
now
and
then
when
I
point
out
mistakes
 that
 would
 have
 worked
 out
 in
 my
 favour
 at
 the
 cash
 register,
but
overall,
this
whole
honesty
thing
has
been
 working
out
pretty
well
for
me. But
does
being
an
honest
person
run
deeper
than
not
 cheating
on
your
taxes
or
stealing
a
co‐worker’s
snack
 from
the
company
fridge?

Could
it
be
true
that
complete
 honesty
 really
 is
 about
 being
 100%
 you?
 
 If
 so,
 I’m
not
sure
how
honest
a
person
I
really
am,
because
 I
find
that
sometimes,
showing
the
world
the
real
me
 can
be
hard
to
do.


Especially
when
I
start
to
wonder
if
 anyone
out
there
is
going
to
ever
appreciate
what
I’m
 all
about.

And
aren’t
we
supposed
to
be
good
people
 who
 try
 to
 make
 others
 happy?
 
 Being
 me
 isn’t
 going
 to
 make
 everyone
 happy,
 in
 fact,
 it
 might
 even
 make
 some
people
downright
uncomfortable.

Do
I
want
to
 do
that
to
other
people? Where
did
I
go? Sure,
I
find
the
words
to
explain
it
here,
but
when
I’m
in
 an
actual
situation
where
I’m
thinking
I’m
a
little
weirder
 than
what
my
current
entourage
had
bargained
for,
my
 feelings
are
a
great
big
jumble.

Suddenly,
I
don’t
feel
 like
me
at
all.

I
just
feel
awkward.

Quiet.

And
I’m
not
 cracking
jokes
about
Billy
Joel.

I
try
to
blend
in
and
go
 with
the
flow,
because
swimming
against
the
current
is
 hard
work. I’ve
 wondered
 about
 this
 phenomenon
 for
 years.
 
 In
 certain
company,
I’m
my
regular
whacky
self,
but
with
 some
others,
I’m
known
as
the
quiet
girl,
the
complete
 opposite
 of
 what
 I’m
 like
 when
 I’m
 at
 ease.
At
 first,
 I
 would
tell
myself
that
it
was
just
a
form
of
protection
 –
 if
 others
 around
 me
 couldn’t
 handle
 what
 I
 was

to

aware
of
who
they
are.

and
a

reader,
you
find
me
at
the
tail
 end
of
a
minor
existential
crisis.
You
 will
know
from
last
month’s
Diary
 that
I
moved
to
a
new
town
and
a
 new
home.
There
was
a
change
of
 location
 and
 an
 acceptance
 that
 change
is
part
of
the
natural
flow
 of
 life,
 the
 grand
 plan
 of
 the
Universe
and
the
natural
course
of
things.
Change
means
 being
 outside
 of
 your
 comfort
 zone,
 and
 at
 the
 edge
 of
 your
 comfort
 zone
 lie
 all
 the
 things
 that
 are
 there
 to
challenge
you
and
stimulate
your
personal
growth.
 Change
 churns
 up
 the
 ground
 beneath
 your
 feet
 and
 makes
it
a
little
more
turbulent
than
before.
You
must
 tread
mindfully
with
more
awareness
than
previously. Since
moving,
life
has
been
unsettled
and
I
felt
rootless
 and
to
be
honest...
a
bit
lost.
It
takes
time
to
find
your
 feet
 and
 settle
 down
 in
 a
 new
 environment
 and
 new
 routine.
This
 I
 know
 and
 accept,
 and
 I’ve
 made
 every
 effort
 to
 watch
 where
 I
 step.
 But
 I
 tripped
 and
 fell
 on
 my
metaphorical
face!
I
didn’t
anticipate
just
how
much
 this
 life
 chapter
 was
 going
 to
 throw
 me
 out
 of
 tune
 with
myself.
If
I
were
a
musical
chord,
I’d
have
been
a
 random
collection
of
notes
that
made
no
sense
whatsoever.
At
the
moment
I’m
one
of
those
weird
jazzy
ones
 that
sounds
like
it
shouldn’t
make
sense
but
somehow
 it
does.
Now,
I’m
almost
back
to
my
normal
self,
as
‘normal’
as
you
ever
are
when
you’re
an
Indigo!

Change churns up the ground beneath your feet and makes it a little more turbulent than before to
it
all,
I
ploughed
on
without
realising
that
my
wellbeing
was
being
compromised.
My
energy
was
all
over
the
 place,
in
a
complete
tailspin,
and
this
was
manifesting
 in
some
detrimental
physical
and
emotional
ways.
The
 most
frustrating
thing
was
that
I
was
striving
to
achieve
 lots,
and
not
actually
achieving
very
much
at
all,
which
 in
 turn
 was
 making
 me
 feel
 bad
 about
 myself,
 which
 was
making
my
energy
even
worse...
AARGH!!
A
vicious
 circle
was
in
motion.
Time
therefore
to
step
back
from
 it
all
and
look
at
things
from
as
objective
a
standpoint
 as
possible.
But
not
before
I’d
sunk
pretty
low
into
the
 depths
of
despair
and
self‐doubt.

The
pivotal
moment
came
when
out
for
a
long
walk
in
 the
woods
near
my
new
home.
Wherever
I
am,
I
always
 seek
 out
 the
 nearest
 woodland
 area
 for
 my
 spiritual
 solace,
and
these
woods
had
already
become
a
friend
 to
me.
I
took
my
troubles
for
a
walk,
and
had
a
serious
 word
with
myself
(my
Higher
Self,
that
is).
I
shone
a
light
 of
brutal
honesty
into
my
troubled
mind
and
soul.
I
realised
just
how
ungrounded,
fragmented
and
in
turmoil
 I’d
become

I
was

 fragments
away

escapes
to

one.

 on

 where
 I
 found
 one
 of
 my
 favorite
 scenes
 from
 her
 lexicon
 of
 physical
 comedy:
 The

episode.
In
it,
Lucy
 realizes
 her

 Yesterday,
as
I
watched
Lucy
swallow,
 wince,
 and
 lie
 right
 through
 the
 twinkling
 smile
 she
 manufactured
 for
 the
 camera,
 I
 was
 struck
 with
 revelation:
 I
 played
a
similar
game
for
years,
and
it’s
 a
 big
 part
 of
 why
 I
 ate
 my
 way
 to
 345
 pounds.
 Swallowing
 something
 I
 detest
 and
 pretending
 to
 like
 it
 is
 what
 I
 did
 so
 many
 times
 that
 it
 became
 knee‐jerk.
 It
became
so
automatic;
I
didn’t
realize
 how
 blithely
 I
 tolerated
 backstabbing
 bosses
and
co‐workers
at
a
toxic
job
or
 an
insulting
remark
from
a
‘well‐meaning’
friend.

cover‐up But
 nowhere
 was
 this
 coping

 than

 life.

“You

 years

And
still,
I
did
nothing
about
 it.
 Why

 up

 that
 I
 willed

 hard
 to
 settle
 at

I
thought

 to

 muck‐free:
 ignore
 the
 things
 that
 my
 gut
 (always
 golden

was
telling
me.

I
didn’t
hear
my
gut
when
 it
 sent
 distress
 signals
 to
 my
 brain.
 I
 always

 but
 do
 I
 pay
 attention?
 For
 20
 years
 I
 convinced
 myself
 that
 sexual

 and
 standing
 on

 moral
 ground
were
insignificant
over
the

Words of Wisdom “Truth
is
such
a
rare
thing,
it
is
delightful
to
tell
it.”

 Emily Dickinson “If
you

the
truth
you
don’t
have
to
remember

 anything.”
 Mark Twain “Those
who
think
it
is
permissible
to
tell

colour‐blind.”

 Austin O’Malley “The

initial
deviation
from
the
truth
is

later
a
thousandfold.”

 Aristotle “We
tell
lies
when
we
are
afraid...
afraid
of
what
 we
don’t
know,
afraid
of
what
others
will
think,
 afraid
of
what
will

But
 every
time
we
tell
a

that

permission
to
do
the
