I have recently been asked the reason why I blog, & mostly, why I chose the name “Bliss in the City”.
Looking for smart answers that would make me look super cool and possibly on the way to international stardom within the publishing industry, I opted for honesty instead.Read More »
Being a coach means being asked quite frequently about the Law of Attraction and if it’s true we can make our wildest dreams come true just by thinking positive.
Questions are usually asked at the most inconvenient times, like when I was at a friend’s barbecue and I was attempting to go through 12 chicken wings without having to do any small talk.Read More »
Some days we are left wanting to shout at life to leave us the hell alone, because we are so tired of our “growing pains”.
Those are the days when we feel we are done with being stretched to the limit, when we don’t feel we could take even one more tear or doubt about ourselves.Read More »
I have always been what one would call an early riser, ever since I can remember.
As a kid, I would get up at the crack of dawn since there were things to be decided for the day ahead, i.e. what to wear to school, which kids to hang out with, (or which ones to ignore), which snacks to fill my rucksack with that would make me look classy and yet cool at the same time (Italians & their food obsession!), what story to entertain the whole class with (it never occurred to me they may not actually have been that entertained at all!).Read More »
“If you want to be happy, you have to let go of the part of you that wants to create melodrama. This is the part that thinks there’s a reason not to be happy. You have to transcend the personal, and as you do, you will naturally awaken to the higher aspects of your beingRead More »
My client is late.
As I look around the room ensuring everything is spotless and welcoming enough for when she arrives, I realize she is now 5 minutes late.
No text or call to explain the reason of her lateness.
I think this is the perfect opportunity to practice a bit of what I call “inner peace.”Read More »
“Create a gap in your story and sit within the gap, sit in the emptiness of not knowing who you are or what you are until an awareness of your essential nature fills you.”
Oriah Mountain Dreamer
July has been a tough month.
One of those months when you just wish you could hide under the thickest blanket, shut your eyes and magically re-emerge when it’s all calmed down.
These are times when even the most enlightened souls will carry around their personal blanket to hide under when the “growing pains” become too much to bear. No matter how much we tell ourselves that this is all part of a master plan, which sees the human race shifting towards higher vibrations, everyday life can become extremely challenging to say the least.Read More »
There are choices in our life we will not be able to share with anyone but ourselves.
These are choices that will change the course of our journey and which are so profound words will never be able to express their depth.
So silence will be our only confidant.
The sacred silence of our hearts.Read More »
There’s a lot of talking these days about wanting/needing to be spiritual.
People have been going to great lengths to grasp what that might mean, how to be more in touch with whatever it is they believe in, how to bring calm and a new awareness into their lives while the world keeps on spinning like a top on autopilot. Some embrace new credos, others adopt new health regimes, maybe they get into recycling, or become organic mad, start meditating at the crack of dawn only to fall asleep 2 hours later on the bus on their way to work.Read More »
My friend has just announced she is taking a sabbatical year to go to Asia and learn all about the art of being happy.
She stares at me possibly expecting words of praise and admiration.
I stare back at her wondering what it is she couldn’t find over here in London and why it is that so many before her have ventured down the road so often traveled.Read More »
