About Today’s Note to Self (TNTS)

Hello Friends,

It is such a joy to see the beauty of nature in the most amazing sunset, the majestic mountain that looms before us, or the azure blue ocean that stretches towards the horizon, but how often do we actually stop to see the tiniest, most spectacular gifts of nature that surround us in every moment of every day. The gifts that hold the most magical lessons in Truth!

My search for Truth began in earnest in 2007 at the tender age of 57 years. Just months before this, my wonderful life came crashing down around me, as my husband Bill and I discovered what it was like to go through complete and utter financial meltdown! We lost everything, and a little more. I stood in the smouldering remains wondering how on earth we were ever going to put our lives back together again, at an age when most people were considering retirement.

I have always loved being outdoors in nature! It is in nature, that I can feel my heart breathe with freedom and all my problems seem to fade away. I knew others had gone through the same challenging times and had not only survived, but had flourished! I just needed to discover their secrets! So began my journey to heal what needed to be healed, and in particular, my emotions. I also found the courage to take the practical steps towards our financial recovery. Out of this healing process was born our International bestseller book, Beyond Broke, and my CDs of songs for emotional healing. The inspiration for these always seemed to come whilst I was out walking in nature! Mother Nature was helping me to heal in the most amazingly beautiful ways.

It was also during this time that I began to study and discover what Truth meant for me in my life. Slowly but surely, I began to grow from the inside out. I was the apprentice, and Mother Nature was the teacher and mentor of the ancient wisdom that I was longing to remember. I am pleased to say that, even though the tunnel seemed long and dark, the light out the other side is dazzling bright, and so worth the wait.

My spiritual journey has taken me along many paths in my search of Truth. The one path that has taught me more than any other, is the path I walk along every day; the walking track beside Diamond Creek in Eltham, Melbourne. It is here that I feel totally at peace with the world as I do my daily walking meditation, connecting with the spirit of nature, taking my photos, and then tuning into the message for that particular day. The message always teaches me the lesson I am longing to learn in one way or another. To work with Nature spirits is both incredibly rewarding and an amazing experience.

I began to share these notes with others a short time ago with only the words, but they did not seem to convey the message sufficiently. Something was calling me to post the Today’s Note to Self with the photos attached. The response has been amazing!

It is here that I wish to explain that I am not a photographer! Each photo is taken in that unique moment of time; nothing moved, nothing ‘set up’. These are simply photos of precious moments in time, guided by spirit, as Mother Nature goes about her business for the day. I am intuitively steered along a certain path to where I will find a magical gift to photograph, and a little while later, the lesson drops into my mind. I know that I am just to follow the guidance from the Spirit of Nature to find these precious moments in time.

I hope you enjoy sharing my journey.

Love and Blessings, Geraldine
