Everywhere I see feathers...

One day feathers began to appear in my life. They dropped down from the sky to land on my path as I walked, floated gracefully past my window when I looked out, and appeared in the most unexpected places...
I started thinking of them as a sign… A message.
So when I was lost in thought, gazing out my window and a feather floated by… I paid special attention to what I was thinking about.
I began to see feathers everywhere… And sometimes they showed up in the most unusual places. Like the time I noticed a blue-green feather sticking out of a friend’s cap. I pulled it out… a pretty budgie feather! Where did that come from?!…
A friend told me once that when feathers appear they are messages from angels.
Perhaps. Angels do have wings...
To me they are a symbol that tells me ~ I’m on the right path.
Do you see feathers on your path?
Do you have a symbol that tells you, you’re on the right path?
Are you on the path to your dream?
Sometimes we need a little guidance along the way, so here are my…
Seven Tips to help you transition, from where you are now, to where you want to be:
Dream on...

When I was very young, in elementary school, I was often called out by the teacher for daydreaming and not paying attention. I’d be gazing out the window, lost in the reverie of another time and place, when I’d hear a voice... far away at first, then louder and louder, until I’d hear the teacher’s voice saying sharply, “Anne!” and I’d be shocked back into the reality of the classroom. I got the message that daydreaming was bad...
And so, eventually I adapted to the primarily left-brain world.
Thought is the labour of the intellect, reverie is its pleasure. ~ Victor Hugo
The left brain brings your mind into sharp focus, one thing at a time. You pay attention and your mind contracts.
The right brain allows your mind to soften and expand... bringing awareness of many things all at once. You play with attention.
But it is this lightness of thought and energy that opens you to creativity, inspiration, sudden insights and inner knowing.
Daydreaming is actually good for you.
So, dream on...
Daydream: To have dream-like musings while awake.
“I live in two unique worlds, travelling between both with just the opening or closing of my eyes. ”
The first step is to dream...
Every Autumn I find myself busily bringing the ideas and projects I've been working on all year to fruition. It's harvest time in the Land of Dreams...
Every autumn I find myself busily bringing the ideas and projects I've been working on all year to fruition. It's harvest time in the Land of Dreams...
Everything we create in life begins with an idea or vision in our mind's eye... From ethereal to physical form it becomes real through a creative process. Everything is imagined into existence...
A few years ago I wrote the Little Book of Big Dreams and in part one I described the seven steps in the creative process.
Dreaming is the first step in the creative process...
“ To make a great dream come true, you must first have a great dream.”
I've always been a dreamer. When I was little I could sit for hours daydreaming out my bedroom window, allowing my mind to wander and drift...
I created stories of pasts and futures... I dreamed of heroes and heroines, love, mystery, magic and adventure... Everything I wanted to be, do, experience...
Dreaming opens your mind to other worlds and possibilities.
What is a dream?
A dream is like a blueprint in your mind. It's a vision or feeling sense that can be experienced as if it is 'real'. It isn't yet tangible but it can be very powerful.
Dreams can spark your desires, motivate and inspire you...
Where do dreams come from?
Your dreams come from your inner truth; the essence of who you are.
When you live your dreams, you live an inspired life of deeper meaning, purpose and happiness.
So listen to your dreams...

It's About Time
I really don’t mind the rain. It makes for a good day-dreamy sort of day…
(Though I do have the luxury of a cosy, warm studio from which to dream…)
I can sit on my chaise (under my blanket!) and just watch the raindrops rolling down the telephone wire outside my window…

(Though I do have the luxury of a cosy, warm studio from which to dream…)
I can sit on my chaise (under my blanket!) and just watch the raindrops rolling down the telephone wire outside my window… Slowly getting bigger and bigger until suddenly bursting into a big drip.
I have time.
I have time to look at the sky and watch a seagull drifting by... high in the grey clouds...
And just listen to the constant drone of traffic splashing back and forth… it’s mesmerising.
Today I’m just watching the day go by. I’m the observer.
“The timeless in you is aware of life’s timelessness. And knows that yesterday is but today’s memory and tomorrow is today’s dream.”
And as I watch the day go by, it allows my thoughts to flow freely… I see things in new ways.
Having time to not “do” anything allows my mind to relax. I have time to dream.
Today I have all the time in the world...
“Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in.”
