This Revolution Will Be Feminized! My New Book.......
Another page from my new book!
available for download - 2 files a book & an audio file
Let Me Tell
You Why
We
need to have people in every region, of every country of every corner on this
planet making stuff. We require the women of this earth to rise up and take up
their places in small scale manufacturing, inventing, creating and knitting the
world back together.
The
methods of manufacture, the large scale industrialisation of humanity and the
things we are led to believe fulfill our needs; is not only completely
unsustainable it is dangerous and quickly destroying the environment.
Anything
that harms the natural biodiversity and interferes with the delicate balance of
life in this world harms us all. We are ill, sick and dying from the
overproduction and over consumption of unnecessary toxic products made from
under achieving people who are trained to push their imaginations into dormant
states.
We
have to fundamentally shift our thinking and then alter our approach to making
the things we desire. More than that we must also remove the toxic elements of
the things we use and rebuild our planet in the exact image of an evolving
higher consciousness that is within the matrix of life itself.
The
divine feminine has returned to guide the women of the earth back to own their divine
blueprints buried deep within our DNA. These instructions form the basis of an
ancient paradigm of knowledge that has never been lost, it has been simply
forgotten – stored away for the time when it is needed most.
That time is now.
We
are at a critical junction in our story, one where we can proceed along a
self-destructive lower consciousness route and destroy everything in our path
or choose to rise up, discovering our unique talents and abilities as the
enlightened beings that we are and then put them to work in every conceivable
way.
It
is no longer necessary to think or believe that something is out of your reach
or that you cannot do what you would like to do. You are living in a privileged
age of over information to the point of confusion. The knowledge is as much
‘out there’ as it is ‘in here’.
What
we are lacking is the wisdom to use some of this material for the greater good.
There
are no excuses, we can make things, absolutely anything that we want or desire
or need or require or have a fleeting wish for – can be made in a non toxic,
sustainable manner that harms no one in the making of it.
We
can make things on a small-scale manner in homes and sheds and small buildings
without creating more toxic waste or contaminating the living biological
systems surrounding us.
We
can make stuff that does no harm to us, our children, the earth or any living
thing on it.
We
can choose to use our creative abilities to take back control of the
manufacture of the things we use in, on and around our beautiful bodies; we can
make our products safe, gentle, practical and an absolute pleasure to have.
Imagine
the earth – lead by women, who are rising up and deciding each day to use
products that are gently made by the hands of their sisters. From all corners
and all regions we can rediscover these ancient arts of healing, growing,
gathering and then creating everything we desire from clothing and art to food
and technology.
We
can reinvent our world using these things that contain the energy of the
ancient feminine goddesses who once walked this earth and help sustain and keep
her here.
This
energy flows through us and is part of who we are. That tiny strand of DNA is
awakening and you are buzzing with its’ aliveness!
Stand
up and take your place in the Renewable Revolution! You are a part of the
feminine energy at work here, a feminine ethic that under pins all that is
stirring up at this time of great change.
We
are in the middle of our tipping point – women at the helm of this great
mother-ship who have had enough of feeling disempowered or left out or left
behind and unsupported, who feel a need to reclaim their divine birthright.
Years
ago, in the last few years of the previous century, the planet earth, Gaia,
decided of her own accord to raise her consciousness. She decided to come back
from wherever she has been in her dormancy, to no longer let things happen to
her, but to be an active participant in all that takes place here.
She
cannot do this alone.
The
earth needs people like us to reduce the toxic load, to actively create
sustainable living and work environments that honour her and to teach those who
are following behind us, they are walking on sacred ground.
This revolution will be feminized!
Your
mission, should you accept, is to be yourself.
To
celebrate that fact that you are a woman at this time in her story, a person who
chooses to own her gifts, access her destiny and proceed to help create a world
that only has existed in our dreams.
Together
we will create our new world.

My New Book!
I have my new book (comes with bonus material audio file) available for download! Check it out here!
Introduction
There
is so much to be said for the times we are waking up in; the least of which is
all the change that must take place in order for the human race to rise enough to
take up their missions and purposes on this wonderful planet.
The
greatest of times call on the most ordinary people to take on tremendous paths
and anchor specific energy in certain locations throughout the earth –
vibrations and awareness that envelop and shape all of us as we walk through
these first steps out of the darkness and into the light.
Women
are being called to resume their posts and to open up their hearts, dust off
their dreams and put them into action. All over the world women are waking up,
looking around them and wanting to create something better.
For
everyone.
So,
if you are just starting out or if you have been marching to the music in your
own soul for many years, or even if you feel completely lost and disconnected
and longing to discover who you really are; your mission is waiting for you to
claim it.
To
be honest, I was never drawn to business. I never knew I had it in me to start
up, develop and run a successful anything. I was only ever told and thus
believed the opposite.
It
wasn’t until I was backed into a corner so far and let down by so many that I
had to come out of this shell and make things work in my life better than they
ever had before.
I
was tired of living pay-check to pay-check, following someone else’s ideas of how
the world should be, all the while pushing parts of myself down into despair. I
knew there had to be another way and if there wasn’t – well then, I would
invent one.
If
you are really ready to take a leap of faith, to not let anyone stand in your
way and to only trust in the inner guiding voice that connects you to all of
life and creation, you will be Universally supported in finding your mission
and developing your purpose.
Finding,
following and then creating a better life is not for everyone; it takes a
little bit of a rebel to go against the tide and do what must be done and to
not back down. Being female is the greatest asset you can have, your inner
compass has already activated and it’s leading you towards your mission.
Are
you ready to rise?

A New Book is Coming Soon!
Below is a tiny excerpt from my new book
'Women's Business - A Divine Blueprint'
So, What is Your Blueprint?
A blueprint is an early stage plan or design which explains how something might be developed. It is a clear model or pattern from which you shape a building, a business and a life.
What sort of patterns have emerged in your life so far? Are you marching to your own beat or can you not even hear your voice because of the roar from the world around you?
Are you aware that you were born with a blueprint designed to emerge and come into being during such a time as this?
There are ancient patterns built into your DNA that activate, reassemble and are triggered by all that is taking place around you.
We often refer to it as waking up.
What is really happening when you are waking up, is that this ancient coding within your cellular matrix is triggered by events, people, viruses, stress, pH and so forth, so that it can become active and so can you.
We were born for times such as this.
But more than that; we are also designed for times such as this.
Your divine destiny is only an amino acid away from creating the life of your dreams.

Healthy Eating Patterns
Healthy Eating
Patterns
So,
here we are in the post New Year haze of too much eating and drinking
considering the coming year ahead of us, personally I like to think of these
feast times as necessary – our gut bacteria must have a ball!
Thankfully
there are seasons to eat, drink and make merry, and there are spaces in between
to eat normally just as there are times it is best to fast and let our
digestive systems empty out, rest and repair.
Many
of us are busy getting back to our usual meals and portions right about now and
feeling all the better for it. A new year is a great time to create better ways
of feeding ourselves, as always, small changes pay large dividends diet wise.
However,
I know for myself, making the transition back to healthy eating after
indulgence was always a struggle. I am hearing from people already about how
difficult it is to switch off from the 2 weeks of feasting and get back into a
normal pattern.
It
has got me thinking, exactly what is a healthy eating pattern and why are so
many people struggling with food the way it is presented and the typical diet
as we have come to believe it should be.
I
remember sharing the way I eat with some of my professional colleagues a couple of years ago, only to
be shot down and nearly shouted down – so outrageous was my suggestion. For
myself. I was only referring to myself in the conversation, yet there was such
a fearful response as if they couldn’t run fast enough to get away from what I
was saying.
I
have been thinking about it ever since.
Many
of you know that a few years ago, I had spent several years intermittent
fasting and found a much more suitable approach to food for myself and my
family. A lot of change came from that time for me, certainly the least of
which had to do with food.
It
also set me thinking, exactly what is a healthy eating pattern and why are so
many people struggling with food the way it is presented and the 'typical diet', the way we are informed is a normal way to eat, doesn’t appear to fit with health?
I
mean, the only ones who are to gain from all of us eating 3 meals and 3 snacks
a day are the multi national food producers. And of course the illness industry
because all of that food is making us sick. We are eating too much, too often, mostly of the same things.
Enough
already, you are thinking – what way do you eat?
So,
I eat one meal a day and once a month I fast for 3 days on juice.
Typically,
every day I prepare one meal, unless it’s my birthday or a special occasion or
a holiday. Even this past holiday season, we generally ate one large
celebratory meal a day, but had snacks or late desserts because it was a special
time with special treats.
There
was NO big transition back to normal eating. And there hasn’t been when I am
eating this way, because I still have the one meal in the middle of the day
(give or take). I can eat what I want, as much as I want and have dessert at
the end, if I want.
The
only difference after Christmas is the really rich desserts and late evening
snacks are gone, but so are the late nights – so my routines are back to normal
as well.
I
have been eating this way for about 2 ½ years and here is what I have found;
I
tend to eat less than I would if I was eating 3 meals a day.
I
have more energy, as less time is spent digesting food.
I
sleep better, because I eat earlier in the day.
I
get far more done!
Cooking
is simple – one 4 course meal a day, everyone pitches in.
Incorporating
a 3 day juice fast is very easy.
Adding
in exercise is easier, because my tummy isn’t full am or pm.
I
eat a wider variety of foods.
For
quite some time I have been talking to anyone who will listen, about the way we have been trained to eat, because it has seemed to be all wrong, at least for many of us. If 3 meals
and 3 snacks a day suit you and you feel fantastic eating that way – wonderful!
However,
if I ate breakfast, I would be snacking all evening. If I skipped breakfast, no
snacking and not as hungry the rest of the day, that was my absolute first clue
that the three meals a day thingy was no good for me.
It
was only a few days ago that I realized I remember being vegan, eating
extremely healthfully (no sugar, no gluten) and feeling tired after my main
meal, back then I was eating 3 meals a day. Now, I can jump up from my dinner
with the same energy as my children and run up to the gardens to get some work
in before it gets dark.
Eating
this way has made a huge difference to my health, my lifestyle and my time.
Todays’
meal was all prepared by me in ½ hour to 45 minutes except oven time (I had the
sourdough started in the early morning)
Sourdough
pizza topped with artichoke pate, mushrooms, red onion, goats cheese, Bonita tuna
& olives
Brown
rice cooked with cinnamon & turmeric with stir fry vegetables of beans,
carrots, onions, fennel, broccoli, mushrooms and fish
Sourdough
toast with peanut butter & jam
Kombucha
to drink & sesame honey almond treats for dessert.
There
was enough for everyone with loads left over for another meal tomorrow. This meal fed 5 people today - everyone had seconds.
If you find your digestion is over burdened with too much food, perhaps skipping a meal now and then might be the way to get started towards a healthier new you.
