POEM: It’s National Poetry Day. The theme apparently is Truth. This little Poem came this morning after my Meditation (before I knew the theme) as a Blessing for my Beloved and I guess it’s about remembering the Truth of who we all are. The photo was taken this morning on awakening. This is what I wake up to every morning and I feel very Blessed. It’s the same silhouette but each day new light, new colours and textures and sounds. Don’t let your mind trick you into thinking everyday is the same. See beyond... Anyway, here’s the the poem. It’s called: GOOD MORNING BELOVED... May your BEaUtiful Presence Light up this day May it shine from your eyes Like the brightest Star Illuminating dark clouds That obscure the Joy of the day Awakening sleep walkers From their slumber May your enthusiasm for life Spread like wildfire May you wholeheartedly know Who you are this day A BEing of Love igniting Joy Inviting remembrance of a Heart That needs no shield and beats To the rhythm of the One #poem #poetry #muse #poetsofinstagram #nationalpoetryday #truth #rememberwhoyouare #beloved #presence #star #shine #bright #joy #blessing #belove #nofilter #widebeam #boatlife #iwakeuptothis #seebeyond #morningmeditation #sunrise #riverlife #rivergypsy
Feels like Home ♥️🔥 Cosy...Calm...Brunch by the fire. The wind is whistling up a gale... Clouds sprinkling droplets of rain, softly pitter pattering on the roof. This is my favourite sound. In contradiction it turns up the volume of Silence. Reminders to choose are abound...Wisdom of Sophia... Consciousness of Christ... to dance Joyously the Nataraja of Shiva Shakti. A Chalice that appears empty but is always full. Offering bowls to thank our unseen helpers... Our Ancestors, our Guardian Angels, the Devas and Nature Spirits, abundant here where the water is held lovingly by the land and I am held (and in the wind gently rocked!) lovingly by the water. Home to me is Sanctuary. Sacred Space. Hallowed ground. In the last couple of years travelling, Home has remained in my Heart, the foundation of all Homes. Home has been a Presence that landed wherever my feet chose (not always consciously but always in hindsight perfectly) to rest. The inner sanctuary of my Heart has kept me sane amongst all the shenanigans of the last year. I can safely say my Heart is very happy now have a physical Hearth. A place where the coolness of my mind snuggles up and surrenders to the warmth of the fire in my Heart. A place to rest. A place to regroup. A physical foundation that I can return to. That I can create from. That I can dream new adventures. A loving space to come back to one’s senses or move beyond them depending on one’s Spiritual perspective. This Home for me is also a place to share One’s Peace with my Beloved, my friends and family. It’s the balance that occurs from allowing OneSelf enough space to be able to share One’s space. A place to Be. A place to See. A physical representation of the point in the centre of the circle from which One’s inner Love radiates in all directions. Many people have commented over the years that my homes have hugged them. I sense that Lily Pearl is gonna be a great hugger. Blessing you all in your perfect living space🙏🏼🤗🔥💞xx #home #newhome #widebeam #boatbuild #lilypearl #boatlife #rivergypsy #feelslikehome #hearth #heart #altar #sanctuary #sacredspace #hallowedground #homeiswheretheheartis #trust #alliscoming #blessedbe
Monday’s early morning walk from Whitemills to Whiston Lock along the River Nene. Very happy to stumble across a little woodland full of beautiful Beech trees and a picnic area that will make a great Meditation and river dunking spot! A little clean up service work for the Faeries and Nature Spirits was in order... I love how there is always a bag there to do the job! The white feather was underneath all the rubbish. Thank you Angels for reminding me of your Presence 🙏🏼👼🏻 On the way back I bumped into a lovely lady with two very friendly dogs (got my fluffy fix!) , who happened run a group called the Earls Barton Wombles that go litter picking in the area. I love these little synchronicities and I love living here so close to Nature. ♥️🧚🏻‍♀️🐲👼🏻🌳🐿🌿🐶 #boatlife #riverlife #earlymorningwalk #sunrise #riverwalk #rivernene #river #swans #trees #naturesart #litterpicking #cleanup #pickupyourlitter #keepbritaintidy
Good Morning world 🌍 It’s a Beautiful morning here at Whitemills Marina. I try to come out in the mornings as the Sun is rising to absorb the uplifting energy of the sunrise and get some vit D. I face the sun with my eyes closed and offer my Blessings and Gratitude for the day. What a lovely surprise to see two beautiful Swans in front of me when I opened my eyes again. Did I say I love it here?... Haha, yes, yes, yes, I L♥️VE it here. Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏🏼xxx #sunrise #morningrituals #swans #blessings #gratitude #grace #lilypearl #widebeam #boatlife #lifeontheriver #rivernene #nature #liveclosetonature
Twilight walk and Meditation by the river. Lily Pearl is nestled in nicely. Loving these sunsets. Twilight is my most favourite time of day. Theres something special in the air as the Sun sets and the Moon rises. I wrote a poem about it once.. let me see if I can find it. It’s called Moonbeams... MOONBEAMS🌛🌝🌜✨ There's nothing quite so magical
As Moonbeams at twilight 
And the soothing silent lullaby
As the Moon sings the Sun goodnight
 Wrapped up in the stillness
Of Natures pure delight
 Little creatures come to dance
In her gentle, soft moonlight And my heart sings
As she kisses my face
 In that precious moment
All past is erased
 The future is
Nowhere to be seen
 And I smile sweetly
As I know I have been
 On a magical journey
To the cauldron of dreams
 That most Sacred, wordless place

GRATITUDE ALERT! Read no further if you are allergic to Gratitude... I AM Grateful for my beautiful daughters @alia_simone_h (pictured - I think she likes Lily Pearl 😂) and @aimeehawes, whom came along on Tuesday to help me unpack.🌺🌸 I AM Grateful for my lovely partner James whom also helped me unpack on Tuesday, met my two lovely daughters for the first time and everyone got on lovely ♥️😅 I AM Grateful (especially my belly!) for @karmanaveggie restaurant, which is only 12 mins drive away, where we all had very lovely meals and I got to take the I AM Grateful picture 😆🥦😋 I AM Grateful for the beautiful sunsets I get to witness from Lily Pearl at Whitemills Marina.🌅 I AM so Grateful for Lily Pearl, my new home and to Andicraft Fabrications for building her. She has everything I need and I’m so excited about my new life, new friendships and the many adventures yet to be experienced on her. I cannot tell you what a relief it is to finally have my own space again🌞⛈🌈🌛🌝🌜🌚✨ I AM very Grateful for the support of my beautiful mother Lynne. Her faith in me and her encouragement has been the fuel that’s kept me going this past year🥰 I AM Grateful for all the wonderful opportunities coming my way that provide the income to maintain Lily Pearl, buy healthy yummy food, have adventures and support my family as they have supported me 🤗♾💞 Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏🏼 #lilypearl #widebeam #newhome #newstart #beautifuldaughters #lovelypartner #lovemymum #loveeachother #encouragement #support #welcome #abundance #gratitude #thankyou
Lily Pearls first journey on Monday, from Billing to Whitemills. Got through a couple of locks, steering surprisingly easy with a tiller...not got my hands on the throttle yet though😜 Andy had the bright idea to light the fire on route so it was ready to use ASAP (it’s a bit smelly the first time!)...and smoked out everyone at the back😂 I got the opportunity to first raise a middle finger to Cogenhoe Mill as we drifted past... and then to say thank you for the experience as without it, Lily Pearl wouldn’t exist. Always worth remembering that when things are difficult it’s usually for a reason and something far better is on the horizon. Sometimes not getting what you think you want is a Blessing 😉 Lovely welcome at Whitemills. Still unpacking but looking forward to getting to know everyone once settled in 🙏🏼🥰xx #lilypearl #maidenvoyage #floatinghome #widebeam #boat #riverboat #boatbuild #tinyhome #home #myspace #worththewait #loveit

Love this pic of me and my good friend @treventour at @spectacularts1 in Bedford Park, taken by another good friend @kezzabelleambler last Saturday. This talented young man is such an inspiration and I wouldn’t have been up and out sharing my Poetry so much without his support and encouragement. His Poetry is eye opening, transformational and educational. Please check out his account and current story to find out about, and support, the wonderful program he is putting on for Black History Month in October. #inspirationalfriends #supporteachother #poetry #spokenword #canyoupoet #blackhistorymonth #transformation #education #northampton
