The Amazing Power of Gratitude in Spiritual Practice
Gratitude plays a bigger role in spiritual practice than most people realise. I’ve seen in my own life, and with others on their spiritual paths, that being thankful can truly change the way I feel, handle challenges, and grow as a person. When I actively weave gratitude into my spiritual routine, (which I do every day by the way), everything feels lighter, more meaningful, and connected. In this article, I’m going to share my insights and practical advice on the amazing power of gratitude in spiritual practice, why it matters, how to begin, and what to expect as benefits along […]
Continue readingThe amazing power of forgiveness
There are times in life when we realise we’ve been holding on too tightly – to a grudge, to pain, to a version of the past that no longer serves us. Maybe someone hurt us and never acknowledged it – maybe it was something very obvious that happened. And maybe, just maybe, we’re still replaying that moment in our heads, wondering what we could have done differently, seeking revenge or avoiding situations altogether. The truth is, holding on to these negative emotions can feel strangely comforting – like a protective shield that we think will save us from ever feeling […]
Continue readingHow To Celebrate May Day And Beltane
As April melts into May, we feel the wheel of the year turn once more – and with it comes one of the most enchanting and joy-filled moments in the natural calendar and one that I have personally loved since I was a child: May Day, or as it’s known in Celtic tradition and pagan circles, Beltane. These springtime celebrations come alive with flowers, fire, music, and magic, and are far more than a just quaint echo from the past. They mark a powerful seasonal threshold – a time to pause, honour life’s renewal, and realign ourselves with the rhythms […]

One day, frustrated with his life, Neale Donald Walsch challenged God to answer his questions. To his immense surprise, God answered and there began a journey that has lasted over 30 years. I first picked up Conversations with God during a period of questioning and change in my life in my late teens. I was looking for some spiritual guidance that went beyond ordinary advice for people of my age about how to get a job and do well in life. I had been inspired by “Jonathan Livingston Seagull” a few years earlier, and that had set me on a […]

If you haven’t read our previous blog, have a look at: https://thecreativechoice.org/earth-day-is-coming-a-gentle-invitation-to-honour-our-planet Waste is still a global issue — and a local one too According to Our World in Data, the world generates over 2 billion tonnes of municipal solid waste each […]
Continue readingEarth Day Is Coming: A Gentle Invitation To Honour Our Planet
Every April, people around the world turn their attention to something we often take for granted: the Earth beneath our feet. Earth Day, celebrated annually on 22nd April, is a global moment of awareness, reflection, and reconnection. It’s a time to honour the planet we live on, the one we’re made from, and the one that sustains us, even when we forget to notice, and I urge everyone to join in with this event this year. Earth Day isn’t just about policies, petitions or eco-campaigns (although all of those matter). To me, it’s also about energy, awareness, and intention. And […]
Continue readingHolding Steady: How To Navigate Worrying Times
How to navigate worrying times? It’s a question that applies to all of us at some point. We all have times when the world feels heavy or when our experience of our own world feels particularly negative or worrying. Maybe it’s a personal storm you’re navigating. Maybe it’s the collective uncertainty we’re all breathing in and dealing with right now. Or maybe it’s just a quiet, aching sense that something, somewhere, isn’t quite right. In these moments, it’s easy to spiral. Our worries love to grab the steering wheel of life when times feel uncertain. But here’s the truth: YOU […]
