For those of us in Australia, the concern this weekend is for the federal election. I rarely watch any news on television, because I know that the media are like sharks, feeding on any fears that arise. A recent exception was just after Brexit (the exit of Britain from the European Union), mainly because my husband, Jon, is a Brit, and he was keen to hear what was happening. There
My week has been filled with the highest of highs and, although not the very lowest of lows, some painful issues which I have had to try to move past. Like most people, despite my regularly grounding, clearing, and shielding my energy, I become affected by worldwide events. When you add to this, personal issues which arise, I find that I have to use all of the tools which I
If you live in Queensland, you will be aware that there is a local council election and referendum, relating to the state government’s term, coming up on March 19th. Even though I don’t understand the system there, I know that the USA is currently in the midst of presidential primary elections and they will elect their president later in the year. The Australian Federal election is predicted to be sometime
Last week’s blog left me feeling a little overwhelmed. There are so many things happening in the world with the potential to cause us fear, without reading more in a spiritual book, or writing about them in my own blog. http://www.lorelletaylor.com/think-twice/ I was especially troubled when I heard of the loss of lives in rapidly rising flood-waters, so close to my home. As I stopped to feel compassion for those
Love is the answer to all questions. But sometimes in life, the difficulty is not in finding the right answer, but in finding the right question. Once we have faith in God, we begin to understand that God is within us and within all those around us. Once we have faith in God and his angels, we come to expect that, no matter what the questions, the answers will come
Happy New Year everyone! When a new year begins, it is a good time to stop and reflect on the year which has just past and what we would like to change. What would we like to change about ourselves, about our jobs, about our home, our family, our environment? We usually find that exterior changes are easier to make than internal ones. We sometimes make New Year’s Resolutions and
I was reminded yesterday how much I’ve changed over the years. Yesterday I heard about the stick insect that my great niece has been keeping as a pet for 6 months. I had no idea that stick insects could be kept as pets, so I was interested to find out all about it, and when I got home I googled and found this: http://australianmuseum.net.au/Care-of-Stick-Insects/ I remarked when I heard about
Last week, if you’ll remember, I did a Tarot reading, and the card for this weekend was The Hermit. My interpretation of this card suggested that you can all be beacons of love and light to all you encounter. Some of you may be wondering just how to do that. But, the fact is, you don’t have to do anything; you just have to be something – to be your
I started a new course this week at AIHT (American Institute of Holistic Theology) called Feminist Theology. I was speaking about it in my French class, and the teacher asked me why I wanted to do that course. I told her, as best I could in my limited French, that my reason was because there are lots of women living under oppression. I explained that the book I am reading
Do we all have different answers to this question? Is the answer as individual as each of us is? I’ll give you my answer and you can tell me what you think.

I want a world where every person on the Earth has sufficient food, water, shelter and security.
