Do not complain about your life until you investigate the ideas you have. Make sure your ideas serve your wellness - if they do not - THROW THEM OUT. Get new ideas or leave room for the birth of inspiration. Bitterness will never make you better, or better than anyone else. Avoid toxic conversations and situations. Understand that when two people are angry and you don't like it - you are the one who needs to do something about it. More anger feeds the war, put your weapons down. And leave the battleground. The idea that someone has wronged you is sort of spiritually flawed because every step of your journey has been your teacher, if you did not learn from it - it's guaranteed you have another lesson coming. Learn fast - requiring the same lesson over and over is not bad luck. Know that if 'love' requires selling yourSelf short - it's not love - and do something about it. Be a friend to yourSelf. If you have no friends and you don't like yourSelf either - you know where to start. Embrace every day as a delivery vessel for new possibilities. Recognise and honour your values and your virtues. Dream a dream and take some steps towards it. Be just a little braver than you think you can be. Feed your inner child as often as possible. Light a candle for yourSelf every day. (or when you remember) Find something to be thankful for. Do something for somebody else. Make praise one of your hobbies. Speak your truth. If you love someone - tell them - a moment of such courage could change your life forever. If someone doesn't love you - move on. The person who will love you is waiting. Taking the ghost of your old partner into your new relationship is one of those ideas you need to examine. Remember you have a purpose on this planet. Know that miracles already surround you. See the beauty in small things. Heal yourSelf in nature. At least go for a walk, hug a tree, swim in the sea or lay on the grass. Laugh uproariously. Share your stories of hope and love. Inspire. Act on your hunches. Smell the roses. Paint with your hands. Meditate and rest when you need to. (you need to often) Love wildly, passionately, deeply, gently, loyally and often. Give your smiles away. Surrender everything you can do nothing about. And surrender all your pain and all your (perceived) unhealed relationships. Find out who you are. Do that NOW. Your joyfulness heals the planet. If you don't know how to start finding your joy - observe puppies and small children playing with water. Get over yourSelf. Give with grace. Receive with grace. Be pleased to know the end of the world is not today. You have both less time and more time than you think. So hurry up and... slow down. Eat honey. If 2000 year old honey is still edible and if 'you are what you eat' is really true, then honey IS the bees knees. You are each and every one of you a gift filled with gifts. Treasuring yourSelf will help you to honour your gifts. Drink more water. (The 42 Commandments are now available as a pack of cards @ just $42 NZD a pack plus postage.

A while ago I realised my Shows were part of a
process of self discovery... I started out with 'Whose Life is it Anyway?' - A Show about the dawning realisation that I was actually important, that I was in control of my own destiny and that it was really crucial for me to understand what brought me joy. I was previously so numb I almost forgot I was real. I had got very detached from life, depressed, dealing with a great deal of life trauma, and, most definitely treading water - I was on the mouse wheel. I was somebody's wife, somebody's daughter, somebody's mother, somebody's leftovers, and my own big fat nobody. I was a non-person. Putting that down, finding joy and moving forward gave me the tools, impetus and material for my first Show. I did two of these Shows, one on the North Shore and one in South Auckland. Both resonated with people. In the process, I discovered many other people who forgot they mattered, had lost their way and had no idea who they were or what brought them joy. I shared my story of overcoming, uplifting, transformation, and gave them tools to help them on their own healing journeys. My second Show 'From the Doormat to the Magic Carpet' was all about discovering my own innate magic and my place in the grand scheme of things. A very special spiritual experience gave me the name for this Show and I realised what a doormat I had inadvertently been - just trying to hold everything together when it was all falling apart. The doormat moment was actually my life or death moment when I chose not to surrender and keel over. I forced myself to push through the pain to carry on with my life. It also resonated with many people. And there was a great deal of really amazing feedback. 'In Love & Miracles' was all about dancing in the magic and realising how important it was to share with others and to set that example. There was real love in my life, I had learned not to try to 'get' love, but to personify love and so love was drawn irresistibly into my life. My husband had arrived and everything was about teaching others to create their own magic, to be love and to radiate consciously, that love to others. My most recent Show, 'Out of the Box, Bringing Magic & Miracles to Life' is all about saying "I'm here to do this amazing work, Yes, I'm a miracleworker, I'm a leader, a pioneer, and I will stand and do this work, no matter what. I've been sort of hiding from it, afraid really, to fully take it on. It takes a lot to stand up and raise your head in this field. Taking power and walking with it, is a revelation in a way - I know I'm supposed to be doing it - I've stopped fighting it, worrying about it or feeling like I don't deserve it. I'm here now. Finally for me - 'the Eagle has definitely landed'. "I'm a storyteller, a magician, a wordsmith, a healer, & miracle worker. I take people through a visual imaging and 'feeling' experience, clearing them, raising their spirits, and healing them, sometimes profoundly." Here's a snapshot of testimonials from my Dec Show 'In Love & Miracles' 'Heya Gorgeous Deb! Thank you so much for your awesome show last night! Wow... Truly amazing! Words cannot say how I now feel... Depression due my beautiful Mum's illness has lifted etc. I feel happy to be alive & truly blessed! - Paula 'I slept right through when normally woken with hip pain.....thankyou !!!!!!!!! you are indeed magic !!' - Pat 'An awesome evening with Deb last night at the Rose Centre, Auckland.
