All about men...kind of

My first post of the year is going to be about men, what I have observed about myself to do with them. It will be interesting to see how much I share...I will always be as honest as I can be.


Where do I start...as you can see/feel I write as I think which can be very random at times.


I found myself feeling very attracted to a particular man I've seen...one that quite funnily I spied on a train journey from Victoria to Eastbourne this Goddess of a man got off at Gatwick (yes I said goddess of a man) then turned up 4 months later at a ceremony honouring divine masculine and divine feminine


When I sat on the train he sat in the section near me...or did I sit near him I cannot remember and right now it does not matter. He travelled with a younger male to which he looked to be brother/guide/mentor or something of that sort. He sat opposite me but on the adjacent isle, feathers hanging from one ear, bearded, long hair in a scruffy sexy american Indian type pony tail.


He took his jumper off to reveal strong arms that had a particular tattoo that surprised and delighted me, it was a tribal type that went around the arm, how ever it was a band of shields. One of the two shields was the shape that came to me only a couple of days before when I was shown to make Archangel Michael shields as protectors for people to wear or place in their cars, I wasn't even sure at the time that that shape shield existed though I must of seen it somewhere, the patterning was exact. 


I giggled to myself and told my guides they were not funny however I was secretly pleased with how they got me to pay attention. I took great delight in sharing in the essence of this very rugged man, I bathed in the glory of such a beauty. When he received a phone call I assumed it was his girlfriend and tried not to listen as he spoke in a tender voice to her, still remaining very much in his essence of man.


At this stage I somehow deemed it inappropriate to allow myself to appreciate this fine specimen because he had a girlfriend. I guess I was not just appreciating, I had started polarising into the future and wanting something to happen (as I do) I had conditions!


I checked myself in this moment of realisation and allowed myself to go back to appreciating this gorgeous man, liking a lot his strong gentle voice, the harmonious way he spoke, his kind words, his use of endearments and the obvious and true sentiment behind them, I loved the way he interacted with the lady that wondered if she was in the right part of the train. Talking clearly and with ease, reassuring her with just the tone of his words. I enjoyed his interaction with the younger male, the energy was supportive, nurturing and empowering. I let myself appreciate this man in all his masculine glory bidding him a silent farewell and a lovely journey thinking what a lucky lady his girlfriend is, revelling in the mere crossing of paths and the joy this simple thing brought me, not considering our paths would ever cross again. 


It did 4 months later at the winter solstice offering while anointing the men with a Jasmine oil, I was on my knees in front of this man, it was not until the ceremony was over I let myself fully take it in. 


I found myself feeling very apprehensive around the men not really feeling that I wanted to engage in conversation after our ceremony had ended. I had thought it was because I did not have anything to say to any of them, in a small way I felt I was running scared but not, I guess it was adrenalin. When I got home I realised I hadn't really wanted to have conversations around, what people did, or who they were, their job, my job blah blah blah not because I am not interested, because I can be a right old nosey. It was in that moment I did not think I could do it, it felt like pretence to me like I would not be being real...anyway I digress.


Back to the man thing...hmmm what was my point I am not sure as I seem to have gone off on one. Ahh! So I realise that I (and I have known this for sometime now) place men out of my league, based on myself really esteem, confidence whatever it maybe, however I tell myself it has to do with them, what they do, what they look like...I digress again so I am going straight to the point.






My vibration is out of whack for what I am wanting, I know this because of:


1) What I am attracting ~ men that are attracted to me that are less than desirable that people around me voice their concerns (I am not being mean) about my welfare


2) Feeling very drawn to men that don't really see me and feeling very nervous around them. (I realised today I am their number 3


3) Sensing that some men are afraid to even approach me even if they like me. 


So my experiment is to  


Be clear to the men at number 1
Step up to the men at number 2 and channel my adrenalin of nervous energy to create some magic...I know I can do this, what form it will take is unknown however I will not be using (the) force (Luke)  


Open my heart even more to the men at number 3 be kind and see them as me ,actually do this in all cases, they are me after all.


Return to my heart space as many times during the day as I can.


Write a list of appreciation regarding lovely men I meet on here as well as in my book of appreciation, it felt good to do it  today with train guy. 


Be mindful of acting conditionally.


Have fun 


I love you, Thank you, I am sorry, Please forgive me

Fathers day gift xxx


I wanted to celebrate fathers day firstly with an acknowlegement of my beautiful daughters father.

Although my feelings may not always reflect my kind nature, I am in this human body after all having a human experience, which includes human feelings. I do prefer to pay more attention to the undeniable fact that I would not have had a beautiful fabulous daughter...who has been and is such a gift to me without you Ricky. The contrast of my experience with you (Ricky ) has made me, ME and launch incredible rockets of desires for better relationships, men and life for myself and Jade. 

I thank you for the gift of the pain and hurt it tells me that I loved you deeply. I thank you for the gift of our child it shows me we were meant to be. I thank you for the gift of my experience's with you it reveales to me that I create my reality. I thank you for the love we shared it lets me know I can, I do and I am LOVE <3 

Thank you for you Ricardo Miguel McDonald...Happy fathers day in your chosen absence

Appreciating what makes you, you

Today a friend of mine asked me to write what I thought made her, her and what she is best at. I was a little...something...a feeling was there, not sure what, maybe not wanting to come across as smarmy or licking a*** I guess, as it is someone I hold dear to my heart and I admire greatly. The unnamed feeling was quickly let go as I started to write and the words flowed easily and effortlessly


In writing the things I think make her, her I got to focus on the things I appreciate about her all the things we can sometimes over look about a person as we go about our daily lives. It feels good to focus in this way and would recommend it to anyone. Doing this today has increased the buzz I already started with...nice one :o)


I write lists of appreciation about a lot of things however they do not go anywhere ~ well not always ~  I remember when I left RM that I wrote letters to the people I worked with, I let them know what I liked about them, it was hard to give it to them, I became very emotional whilst writing it and if I spoke in the giving of the letter it was all over (emotions you can't beat 'em) However I wanted them to know how I felt, it's nice to share your good thoughts on people with them, before dare I say it...it's too late.


The good thing about appreciation, when you focus on or notice what you appreciate about a person ~ even people you don't like or have hurt you in some way ~ what you appreciate becomes more prevalent.




Happy Friday everyone
Much Love

It had to be

It's funny the people and things that can come to you when you trust the Universe to always have your back. I have many people shouting my corner at the mo, in the physical and in spirit. My Angels and guides see to it that I connect with the those that I need to, I am where I need to be, doing whatever I am doing. 


Sometimes the reason I connect with people may not just be for my highest good it maybe for theirs also, one can never really tell and I have stopped trying to work that one out ~ LOL I'm such a fibber I try and work out the situations that are painful, not always any more but more often than not.


I am very appreciative for where I am as I know where I have been and it's not pretty, it wasn't horrendous -though at times I thought some things were, it was what it was. I do know though that IT HAD TO BE. I would do it all again just to be where I am and be who I am. The thing about doing it all again is though I would know what's coming and where's the fun in that. 


I know some really amazing people that have me feeling truly blessed, everyone I meet and connect with brings me a 'lesson' or two, some more enjoyable than others, all of them...necessary. I have noticed one thing the more I am connected to my true Divine self (in the flow) the easier, enjoyable, painless,quick my learning of my 'lesson' is. 


It's so nice when I am in the flow as I feel I have my own magical wand, It gets better people it gets better, from wherever you are it gets better.


Much Love

Appreciating what is

Is appreciating what is xxx


This was my status update today which prompted one of my friends to kick my butt about putting it on my blog. Thanx Nic <3 


So I tried once again to set up easy blogging from my HTC mobile I was on it for 3 hours ~ though it didn't feel like that long as my focus was relentless and my determination unyielding. I became aware though of my brain aching the gentle hum of a headache hovering in the space just before my skull. This is when I realised I was trying too hard, over and over I would try similar things in different ways. Telling myself I had got something wrong or had just forgotten my pass word so then creating another and staring all over again. Then all of a sudden I asked myself what I was doing, by this time I was getting freaking pissed off but something inside my head wouldn't let it go. I couldn't seem to let it go until I decided to hand it over to the Universe to sort it for me. 


Then as I write this I realise my body was trying to tell me to let go by giving me a headache, our bodies are amazing but we never really listen until sometimes it's to late. Anyway back to my point (I don't always have one but I do this time) when I read this update again  Claudia Burnett 'is appreciating what is xxx' I realise that the Universe wanted to see how true to my word I was being not really testing me just creating a situation for me to walk my talk haha I just love how the Universe works with me and when I take the time to let go and let GOD (GOD and the Universe are one and the same to me) it all becomes clear. That's what they call an epiphany isn't it?


What a lovely day nicely turned around :o)
