When you can love yourself, you are truly yourself.
The rest of the time, your a stranger in your own body.


I once hated myself.
It wasn't like how I looked, it wasn't like that.
I hated me.
The way I felt. I was always angry. hurting others, to make me ok.
I hated the world, thinking it hated me.
Then one day, I got reality shoved at me, from a friend.
I lost the anger I always felt. I lost hating the world. And myself.
I grew to love myself. I grew to love and enjoy the world.
We choose how we feel. We can change how we think.
We are the ones in charge of our life.
We just have to learn that. We are as powerful and as strong as we make our selfs.


One day you maybe as high as the clouds.
As free as a bird.
The next day you could be a bird in a cage.
Only getting to see the clouds through its bars. 

Calling All Cherry Trees!

Spring 2005, Seoul

I just read ''Billa's into the Wild''  and this post really hit it home for me.  Reading The Ringing Cedars Series is life changing as it is already but seeing images of someone actually living a life as close as possible to how Anastasia is living, stunned me.

The closest thing to a forest glade that I can see myself living in is here, located in the north, hidden away.  It is the only place I have experienced pure timeless joy. 

 So to all the cherry trees in the world, I send endless love and gratitude for all the breath taking blossoms you grace us with year after year!  And for all the petal kisses as you shower down upon us before returning to Mother Earth.  I have one request, and that is for you to lead me to where I can create my own space of love!

By the way, if the above place is where you are leading me to, I happily accept!

A Little Story by Billa

I had a friend who was entrenched in society, keeping up with social mores.. appearances etc.. quite disconnected from nature. Exhausted from trying to be a good mum and keep up with it all..

She had lived in Australia for 10 years at the beach but had never swam in the ocean.. oh I dont swim she told me.. within weeks of hanging out with me I had her skinny dipping in the rock pools and climbing the cliffs. I watched my friend become filled with life again and be lighter in her BEING as her attention shifted away from keeping up with the Joneses as we say here in Australia, and move towards a connection with nature..

One night after a moon circle on the beach, we were leaving the beach after the sun had set and I had specifically requested no torches or shoes be used through the bush track on the way back from the beach.. My friend had had a big emotional release during our circle and when we had to climb over the pebbles to get off the beach with no light, no shoes and uneven ground - she freaked out and couldn't go on! She just couldn't move.. she was shaking and stuttering!

I grabbed her and held her in my arms tight and whispered in her ear "I've got you, FEEL YOUR FEET TOUCHING THE GROUND. FEEL THEM - they ARE YOUR FEET touching the EARTH - she did that and calmed down slowly ..

Then I said "now breath through your feet and feel the power of the mother who loves you most of all. Just Breath it up through your feet and know that you are connected and you are loved and you are safe.. " She did! and her whole state changed and she burst into tears!!! I said "WELCOME BACK TO MOTHER NATURE - you have been missed...." and in that moment I knew that that was the most important gift I could ever share with anyone on this planet...

And so on we went through the bush in pitch black holding hands while I reminded everyone that NATURE is the last thing we need to be afraid of..

Thank you Billa!

Living in Your Own Authentic Vibration

Are you living in your own authentic vibration or latching onto someone else's vibration?

The Power of Thoughts and Emotions Made Visible

Dr. Masaru Emoto, a visionary researcher from Japan received certification from the Open International University as a Doctor of Alternative Medicine. Subsequently he was introduced to the concept of micro cluster water in the US and Magnetic Resonance Analysis technology. The quest thus began to discover the mystery of water.

Continuing in this stream of awareness, Dr Emoto began to study the impact of altering water by various factors of vibration and consciousness. He studied water that had been altered by music - healing music, classical music, heavy metal music - and so forth.  The crystalline pictures reveal how water responds to these influences ... into complex arrangements of crystalline beauty. This begins to reveal that water is alive - it is conscious and responds to applied force by a rearrangement of its inner crystalline properties.

Inspired by these revelations, he decided to study the impact of human consciousness on water and its crystalline order.  Through repeatable experiments Dr. Emoto demonstrated that human thoughts and emotions can alter the molecular structure of water. Now, for the first time, there is physical evidence that the power of our thoughts can change the world within and around us. 

He found that water that had been consciously altered by the simple imprinting of a word of intent upon the water would change. Water that was imprinted by love, gratitude, and appreciation, responded by the development of complex beauty, and water that was mistreated by negative intentions became disordered and lost its magnificent patterning. In fact, it often took on grotesque forms of resonance. 

Knowing this, it only makes sense to bless our food as well as each other and be vigilant and determined in maintaining the quality of our thoughts and emotions

Where is Your Space of Love?

Design by Anahata Katkin

Last week I went to the Space of Love book launch in Braga and met the lovely Joanne Gribler who is the publisher for the Portuguese version of The Ringing Cedars.  She was a single mom who worked as a clown (still does inbetween teaching laughter yoga and running a publishing house!) and after reading the first book in English, she was inspired, determined to find the resources to travel to Egypt and meet the author Vladmir Megré in his first international conference, which she did.  She then got the license to be the official publisher in Portugal and exhaustively searched for a translator.  She believes, without a doubt, that these books were the answer that humanity was waiting for. That in these books held the key to the cage of unconsciousness and the release of brainwashing that we were subjected to for thousands of years.

When I asked her about how she created her own space of love, she said that she was a single mother without a penny and just walked into a bank and said:

''Listen, my child needs home, do you give clowns a loan?''

They all laughed their heads off and gave her the loan. She pays very little every month and she built a geodesic dome in the garden where they sleep. And soon enough, she inspired other single mothers to do the same! And as soon as they had their land set up, along came a suitable husband for each one of them! She said that maybe the plants helped. She literally planted a cherry tree, kissed it and asked it to find her a husband!  Now she has a 1 year old son and her daughter turned 11.

She says that we're much more than we think and that in fact we are approaching more to what we define today as super heroes.  She also says that in our ignorance, we block our children's full potential by teaching them to evolve the same as we were brought up, only to repeat the same mistakes over and over again.
When Megré asked Anastasia what kept us from being like her & her people, she says, ''Parents.''  So it is now our job to find a way to raise our children without cutting their wings.


Where is your space of love? How can we live a life in abundance and quality? As we lose the earth beneath our feet and stand in a box of bricks belonging to the bank?

Eternity Lies Ahead for You and Me

image found on the internet

''My dearest!  Eternity lies ahead for you and me.  Life will always claim its own, you see.  The littlest ray of sunlight glistens in the spring, and the soul enrobes itself in its new things.  But the decaying body does not embrace the ground in vain.  Come spring, from our bodies will sprout new flowers and grass again.  You shall forever hear the birds sing, and drink in the drops of rain.  In the blue sky above, the clouds - again and again - will entrance you with their dance.

''And if you, my dearest, should find yourself scattered across the unfathomable Universe as little specks of dust, still refusing to believe, then from these specks of dust wandering through eternity I shall begin to gather you up.  And the tree you plant will help me do this: in the early spring, to the place where your soul lies in unfeeling peace, it will stretch out its branch above.  And those you have been kind to upon the Earth will remember you with love.  And if the sum total of earthly love is not enough to materialise you once again, then there is one - one whom you know, and on every plane of being she will be flaming with a single breath of desire, namely: materialise yourself, my love! - there is one who will give herself over, for a moment, unto death.''

My Wish For My Boys

I want my boys to grow up to be kind and patient, with honor and dignity, to be a Man capable of giving light and warmth to other people, full of passion about something, anything as long as they are passionate and give their all.  I want them to play sports, the piano and have their own space of Love.  I want them to love unconditionally and be loved the same.


How do I ensure that I am going to raise my kids correctly? Intuitively?  I can guide, influence and reprimand them, but what prevents society from taking hold? I think that living in close contact with nature and home schooling is truly the key. I can't think of anything better than that right now.


I want them to be the best that they can be, and in order to be the best mother I can be, I am going to do everything I can to build a strong foundation for their future.  And I ask that all the angels in heaven and earth help me and all the mothers in the world, raise our children with their Spirits intact.
