So we spent the last few days with our friend in London, who also had her friend over from Norway. He is a healer, and an amazing healer at that. I had met him before in LA when he came to visit, so it was nice to catch up with him. He gave me a treatment as I have not been feeling well and even lost my voice, I am starting to feel myself. YAY!!!

We have had such a wonderful time in London. New Years day was spent watching DVD's and catching up with an old friend and getting to know our new friends. We left London yesterday to take the long drive "Up North" to see our friends in Leeds. It feels like we never left the country; we were welcomed, and it was lovely.

First went to see Kate and Ian who have a little girl called Laura, who was so excited to see us. We invited them over to see us in LA, and Laura's eyes lit up when we mentioned Disney to her.

Then we went to see our friends Chris and Linzi who we ALWAYS spend New Years Eve with, but this year we broke the tradition. We made up for it when we arrived and saw their friends. It was just like old times. It's been lovely.

So today we are heading back down to the Midlands to see more friends. It's supposed to snow today, and I am so excited!!!

We really are having a lovely time; it's so nice. It's always good to catch up with friends. You know you don't have to see or speak to your friends every day, or every week for that matter, for you to know that they will always be there for you. It's like you pick up from where you left off. That's friendship.

Happy New Year!

Well I have just 'seen' the New Year in with some of my closest friends and of course Kev and we are all truly grateful to be around each other at this time.

One of my friends has had to experience a passing over this time and for another friend it is the anniversary of one of her friends passing. We all deal with death differently. Both of these people passed young, but it was not before their time. We choose our time when we want to leave this earth plane. Once we have completed our life's tasks it is time that we move on. I know this first hand as I have had my own near death experience and I was told that it was not my time.

But naturally it's this time that we choose to remember those that we have lost, but also remember that they had to go as it was their time, and now it is our time to live the life that we are supposed to lead. We should never feel guilty about someone elses passing, their life is mapped out for them, just like our life is mapped out for us.

Embrace the New Year as it comes in, make your wishes and remember your dreams. follow them and make yourself happy. If you are happy those around you will be. always remember that things happen for a reason and that we never remember days, we remember moments, so in 2008 lets create some memorable moments!

Here's to 2008, let's make our dreams come true!

With love

I just want to address this today as I have bee surrounded with so many Riches in the last few days.

We are all rich in many many ways. Some have financial riches and others have spiritual riches. Either way we are all equal and we are all rich.

I have seen that on my trip to England but living in LA you see it even more. In LA you surround yourself with riches, people who drive the fastest cars and have the nicest clothes and who can afford anything, Yet coming back to London made me realise it even more.

My story is one that many many people can relate to. I was never handed things on a silver platter, I had to work hard for what I have, and many people won't realise how I struggled, I struggled so much that I was nearly living on the streets. Coming back to London in these last few days, has made me understand how far I have come. I basically had nothing... but I was still rich.

I had friends, I had family and I had my values. I was rich beyond my wildest dreams. I wasn't financially rich, but in this world, does that matter. Some would say yes, others would say No. I am one of those people who would say no.

Karma, is an incredible thing. What you give out is what you get back and it an make you spiritually rich. I am so blessed to be surrounded with those that I love and have the family and friends I have. They are the ones that made me who I am today.

I didn't even have my health at one point but after the near death experience it made me realise that I have to value life, the lessons I have had to go through and the pain and suffering. It's made me who I am and it's made me rich spiritually. And that this worth more money there is in the world.

As the New Year approaches we start to think about our life and this has been my realization today and I thank those who have helped me on my pathway.

With love
