I've moved!

Hi!

As to 'A Place to Be the Real Me', I think I may have to close this particular blog... (much as I love its title).

All my SoulCollage® energies, writings and accompanying SoulCollage® images have organically and naturally 'moved' to my new website at http://clairegillen.com

So this blog has become somewhat forgotten or, even, (I regret to say) neglected.

At my new site, I've committed to doing a weekly SoulCollage® reading or 'SoulCollage® Share' - and I'm loving doing a new reading each week.

It always amazes me what cards come up, and how they reflect what's going on in my life :-)  But I also hope the reading has relevance and meaning to you too, in your week, on some level.

I'd love it if you fancy hopping over to the site to have a look ...  I hope to see you there!  And I'd also love it, if you'd share links to your SoulCollage cards, and blogs too.  Feel free to post links in the comments section.

By the way, my 'Growing With My Garden' blog lives on!

There you'll find all the news about my allotment garden and the synchronicities relating to what's happening there, often as a metaphor, for what's happening in my life.  It's sometimes 'spooky' but also fun!  Plus, hopefully, if you're a gardener yourself, you'll find there some useful garden 'stuff'!

'Growing With My Garden' is for anyone who loves nature, gardening and personal growth.
But if you just love gardening, or nature, I hope you'll enjoy it.
And if you just love personal growth, I hope you'll enjoy it.  :-)

To check out my blog 'Growing With My Garden' please go here.
To check out my SoulCollage® blog, cards and weekly readings please go here.

Lots of Love, Joy and Peace!

Can you be OVER excited?

Just reading my last post and thinking "Good God!... you do get over-excited sometimes Claire..."

But then I thought, is it possible to be over-excited?

I DON'T think so!!

I like to think I was just 'over-joyed' - which is perfectly fine.

Enough said!

To get what you want... Just "Get Happy"!

I listened to Abraham (http://www.Abraham-Hicks.com) again this morning. I love to listen to Abraham every day if I can! This morning as I listened, it made me feel soooooo much more hopeful.... around being in control of my life and of my experiences - around creating my life and experiences 'just' through my "feeling good".

It all sounds so simple....

Abraham's (wish granting, miracle making) advice is simply...
"Get Happy".

That's the main one really.
That's the powerful one!

Because as Abraham explains, everything we want, we only want because we think it will make us happy - (or happier)!

So ..... why not just get happy ...right NOW?! Solved! No need for 'stuff', to make us happy. Just get happy! No need for other people to make us happy. Just get happy! Get happy! Get happy now!

The lovely thing is that when you get happy now, you are a matching, or an aligned vibration, to the thing you think will make you happy! But if you're happy, you don't need that thing or person to enable you to be happy - because you're already happy!

But ..... in being happy, and vibrating 'happy' you are aligned ...with happy! And everything you believe is 'happy-making' will come easily and speedily into your experience!

Yet! In your happy state, you are so happy .... you don't need or look for those things, or people, (that you thought you needed to make you happy).

But! They suddenly are flowing into your life anyway - because you're happy! And though you don't now need them, when they arrive, you warmly welcome, and enjoy them!!!!

What else does Abraham 'bang on about' (in the nicest way!).....

to... Stop telling the old 'story' (grumbling, complaining about 'what is', to stop going on and on about what we don't like and don't want, and therefore holding it in place, through our focus, in our vibration and in our experience).

to... Instead, focus on the new story - what do you want instead (of the unwanted 'what is')
Bask in it! See it, hear it, feel it, taste it, love it!

to ... See the positive aspects in everything and everyone, because what we focus on grows/gets bigger.

So, focus upon, notice, appreciate, and see what you want to see, everywhere you go.


With each Abraham audio I get more aha's. I think "ah yes, I get it now!"
Then I listen again another day and I think "Oh! I really get it now!"
And this goes on!

I love listening to 'old' Abraham audios and hearing the perfect answer, the perfect solution to a problem I've currently been confused, or in a dilemma about.
It's as if Abraham has deliberately woven the answers in to the audio recording especially for me - as though Abraham knows what I needed further down the line. And don't I always choose the perfect audio with the perfect information and answers?! - I love the way the Universe works! Thanks ABE!

Abraham- What does Abraham think of alternative healing therapies?

As a so called "Alternative Healer" I found this video really illuminating :-) Thanks Abraham, for reminding me of what I already knew in my heart.

"I am not living up to my full potential" - Is That True?

I love Byron Katie's "The Work".

So when I came across this video today I had to put it up on my blog. I hope it will be found by anyone who has ever worried ...

"I am not living up to my full potential"

Just write for the sheer joy of it... just write

Okay. Today, 'the real me' is feeling a little confused. I should be pleased about this as apparently this is a really high state to be in - or so I've been told by DaBen!

I think the confusion is there because you've left your old 'ways of being' but haven't quite got to your new state of being - a bit like the caterpillar in its cocoon? So it's like a transition time.

In my confusion, I am sure of one thing: I love to write.


My confusion is around where I should write (and to a lesser extent what I should write) ..... on my websites? my blogs? which blogs, where?

Who am I writing for? For myself, simply because I love to write? Or for others, who might find what I have to share interesting?

I love sharing. I love writing about what is currently in my thoughts and experiences. I love sharing what inspires and uplifts me. I love writing in my own journal too. I just love the process of writing!

Recently I decided I wanted To Write a Book. I've wanted To Write a Book all my life. So, I've decided I will write it at last. The next question is ... what book?!

I've had some ideas. I thought that I could explore some of those ideas through blogging and see where it went. Test the waters, see if there was any interest. But I have to be consistent. I need to write regularly, not dip in and out, or drop by every month or so!

Perhaps I just need to keep writing, writing for the sheer joy of writing, and see where that takes me?

It feels like the clarity is beginning to emerge from the confusion, like the caterpillar emerging from the cocoon. Yes, that is what I shall do..... Just write, just write.

Forgot about This Place!

Haven't dropped by here for months - I had forgotten all about it! But that is going to change. I would like to blog here more regularly. The weekend's on its way - I'll have more time then.

I attracted a client today who wanted help with clutter-clearing. My partner thought this was hilarious (I have an attic full of clutter!) But the rest of the place looks fine and I love my home. Still, it's reminded me that I do need to get up in that attic.

I have a vision of converting the attic into a light filled space with a roof terrace... somewhere to watch the sun rise and the stars and moon at night, and grow flowers and veggies.

Hmmm..... hold that thought!
