2018 is about to unfold – like a blossom with petals curled tightly concealing the beauty within, ready to reveal the treasures and blessings in store. With joy and wonder I await!

So, as we all stand on the threshold of 2018, we have the power and choice to create beauty with every step we take. We have the power to create joy, and the power to spread harmony wherever we go. We can be the love that we wish to see in our world.

It’s almost time to say farewell 2017, and a very warm welcome to 2018! #excitedmuch! #newyearseve

Some more betwixt and between for you! Another fun fact about me, that you may or may not already know…
Yesterday I spoke about being the a punk postcard girl with orange spikey hair!

Today I’m going to tell you about the time when I worked as a session singer in my younger days. I was invited to sing backing vocals on the ‘Dream Come True‘ album by Mike Score of A Flock of Seagulls. This really was a dream come true for me! I still remember the words today and it was a very special experience.

I sang on the following songs:

Heartbeat Like A Drum 

Hot Tonight 

Say So Much 

I also appeared on this:

A Flock of Seagulls 20 Classics of the 80’s

Platinum & Gold Collection

We Are the 80’s

The bit between Christmas and the new year always feels a bit betwixt and between! So I thought I’d share a few fun facts about me over the next few days, that you may or may not already know…

I found one of my punk postcards for sale on Ebay Canada!

I was the punk postcard girl with orange spikey hair! The photo session was with my friend Danny Fury, and the photographer was David Burder from the Royal Photographic Society. We visited many popular tourist locations in London.

The postcards are still being sold today and I’ve been told they are also sold in Europe!

I also featured on the cover of the Royal Photographic magazine THE PHOTOGRAPHIC JOURNAL. the edition was published on 1st January 1986 and is available to view on the archive page.

I’m also honoured to be a part of post punk-goth history, in a Postpunk Project book called ‘Some Wear Leather, Some Wear Lace‘ The full, Worldwide History of Postpunk and the Birth of Goth: 1980 – 1990.

This part of my life holds some very precious memories for me. I’ve always enjoyed fashion and expressing my creativity through my clothing, hair and make-up etc – It’s all a part of the fun and diversity of this magical gift of life…

I feel so very blessed to have these photos reminding me of where I have come from to create the person I am now.

Winter Solstice Blessings and Love for one and all 

Art by Lorrie McFaul

Hi everyone, so, I’m just going to put this ‘out there’.

It is with a heavy heart that I am announcing my withdrawal from the ‘Love & Light’ guidance cards project with my friend Doreen Virtue. I am very sad to be removing my name from this project that started off as a dream-come-true. So many things have changed in a short span of time and it has become apparent that our spiritual paths are going in different directions. So, I felt it was only right to step away from something that I can no longer fully put my heart into.

I have shared this news on my personal and public Facebook pages also.

Check out my tips including a short guided meditation on how to work with the faeries of abundance on the Soul & Spirit website.

It’s easy to get caught up in the pressures of buying gifts for your loved ones, and Christmas is most certainly a time to fall into the consumerist and materialist trap. Along with expectations from others, there’s also huge expectations on our purses! So, let’s look at how we can work with our fairy friends to get those pixie purses full so we can feel abundant and give our loved ones the presents of their dreams!

Hello! I’m very excited to announce the launch of my newest creation – Manifesting with the Faeries, a guided meditation CD. Available to pre-order now, and it will arrive in time for Christmas/Yuletide.

On the CD I share some techniques on how to manifest with the faeries of love and light during this peaceful and relaxing guided visualisation and meditation. I also include a simple but effective psychic protection, and grounding method. You can hear a couple of sound clips HERE. Or see the YouTube promo video.

“Faeries are magical beings, and magic is an everyday occurrence in fairyland! When you connect with your fairy guide anything is possible, for the highest good of all.”

Featuring the magical music of Michael Tingle of Moon and Sky Mobile Recording Studio, Michael has created this beautiful music to accompany my spoken voice. He also produced the CD for me, thank you Michael!

The stunning fairy art on the CD cover is by the late fairy artist David Delamare, with thanks to Wendy Ice for granting me permission to feature this enchanting artwork.

As the letters flow from my pen onto the page, words form that sometimes take me by surprise!

Writing gives me so much joy and I’m so grateful that I am able to write as a part of my job, as a magazine publisher, magazine columnist, and author.

Almost all of us were brought up on fairytales, so it makes perfect sense to me, that I have continued to incorporate fairies and fairytales into my daily life and work as an adult! It has, and continues to be a magical and healing journey.

I love this beautiful idea by Tami Williamson (House of Winter), and these amazing paper wings which were literally created from the pages of old books! What a wonderful way to recycle the pages into a thing of beauty, as modelled by Jennelle Gee. Photography is copyright Tami Williamson of House of Winter.

As long as people continue to read, there will be writers, so many genres, so many stories untold, ready to manifest into the written word, at the perfect time…
