Yearly Resolutions or Themes?

No New Year Resolutions - just themes

I gave up on resolutions a long time ago as the Universe just has a mind of its own and its resolutions seem to prevail.

There have many times in my life when an exasperated Universe has basically said to me, okay then go pursue your own course but be prepared for the U turn!

So instead I prefer to set a theme for the year and then watch it unfold.

The Year 2014

My theme for the year 2014 was Joy. Did I find joy in all things all through the year? Obviously not but I did find joy in some big things and in many little things and overall I can say that 2014 was a joy filled year.

The Year 2015

This year my theme or word is Serendipity (a fortunate happenstance or pleasant surprise). The word came to me as I walked around my garden on New Year's day  and found some pretty pink flowers that are supposed to bloom in Spring and not Summer.

If you've made any resolutions or have a theme or word for the year, do share in the comments.

Wishing you all a blessed 2015. May you find many pleasant surprises.

Moments of joy

Little things bring us great joy

This week was a bit up and down - some anxious moments and some that brought me joy.

So looking back on those joyous moments, I found that it was really the little things that brought a lot of happy moments this week.

Sometimes it's just hard to pick a single moment, so here are some of them, the many moments I want to remember this week ...


Chicken noodles that my son loved so much he wants to eat them again and again - now that was a moment that brought me the most joy.

My little clip on ipod arrived - my nano decided it's had enough and is slowly fading. This time I thought I'd get a little clip on to help me with my exercise routine. I'm always picking up the nano as it drops out of my pocket so the clip on is a real treat. Wasn't sure of the colour but the green looks awesome.


A free angel reading from Angel Soulfood on FB yesterday. Most days we have the faith and in our hearts we know but just now and then the little demon of doubt creeps in and we question whether all this is true or just a straw we hold onto to give us strength to move on. 

Yesterday morning as I sipped my tea, I looked across at the hills and asked the same question - are you really there, why then are you silent. Then as I looked through my FB news feed I came across a post from Lisa Beachy - ask your Spiritual Team to prove they are around in a surprising general way. Just ask for a sign. And so I did. Soon after that Jodi Chapman of Soul Speak posted that Angel Soulfood was offering free readings and so I put my name down. 

I'm always blown away by how the Universe works and inevitably always obliges and restores my faith in it and all that is Divine. Couldn't have asked for a better sign. And the reading truly brought me great joy.

My lovely Pohutakawa tree that I thought was dying suddenly starts to bloom again. So happy I won't need to cut it down. And little Pohutakawa are peeping through. - Summer is round the corner. Yay.


So thrilled to see the little birds dropping by and enjoying the bread crumbs meal I put out for them. I love watching the birds eat. But have to stay very quiet and still as any movement sends them flying.


And last but not least, I can see the hills again - my neighbour trimmed his tree that was blocking my view. I had wished he would trim his plants and guess what the Universe obliged yet again. The storm some weeks ago must've damaged his tree and he finally trimmed it.  I can enjoy my hills again.

So grateful for the little things that bring me joy.
