Launch of Ripples

As I write this on 6th January we are in full Lockdown in the UK once again and we have all addressed this in our own unique ways, some angry, some sad, some accepting, some fighting it every step of the way.  The first time it happened last March I was a shielder and lived alone with my beautiful cat Izzy, who sadly died in October leaving me totally alone.  Not a great year, I could have sunk into depresssion, I could have railed against the unjustice of it all, I could have done many things, just like you we all have our choices to make.   So looking back, when people ask “what did you do in 2020 ?” I will be able to say that I wrote a 12-module Personal & Spiritual Development programme, trialled it with a pilot group, and launched it via my website, www.Ripples.Life,  at the start of the next full lockdown.

When I look back to the start of 2020, I was yearning to do ‘something’ and to give back to others.   These ideas had been bubbling within me for so long, but the first lockdown was the clincher.    I had an Esoteric Astrology reading, which looks at what your purpose is in this lifetime.  Everything I heard was spot on for me and it became clear I was in the right place at the right time to fulfil what I am here to do and so the idea of the Ripples website was born.   Everything fell into place, it was like the universe was just supporting me all the way, which of course it was.

I was humbled to be given the website by Web Boutiques as their way of supporting my mission.  That was a huge surprise and was gratefully received and enabled me to find the outlet for what was to come.  I want to give away personal and spiritual training for free and my only desire is that it helps people and that they tell others and so it ripples out, helping more people than I could reach otherwise.  “Start a Ripple, Create a Wave” is my mission.

I then wrote an article for my friend, Jane Sheehan’s  newsletter “The Pampering Times”  and from that I gained a group of  volunteers for my pilot group, all willing to trial the course with me and give feedback.   A group of these people kept up with the 12-week schedule and met with me on Zoom each week to discuss the course and give feedback so that I could tweak it where necessary.   My absolute thanks go out to these beautiful souls for their enthusiasm, friendship and feedback.

I chose to focus on what I could do during these uncertain times and didn’t worry about anything else.  I was lucky enough not to have to worry about work, I know that’s not the case for many people.   I deliberately didn’t listen to the news and in fact watched far less television than I would normally during all this time.   My absolute focus was getting the vision of Ripples off the ground and now it’s here.  Phew!  There is so much more to do yet, but Self-Mastery is launched and that is a good start.    

In order to do the course you must first register and then you can access.  There is no cost, I don't want anything from you.  I just hope that, if this course is for you, that you take your time to go through it and emerge at the other end knowing more about yourself than you did at the beginning and have a tool-kit to help you cope with life's twists and turns. 

My wish for all of you reading this is that you are safe and well and that at some point in 2021 we will be restored back into our lives, not the same, but hopefully more focused on what really matters to each of us.  

This has been a time for deep thinking, as we look towards 2021 let's focus on the positives and my question for you to consider and discuss with others is :-

"What has been your biggest learning through the Pandemic that you want to carry forward into 2021 and beyond?"
