​There have been many times in my life where I couldn’t see my way forward. As if there was no future for me. At least not one I would want to live. Looking back at those times I now realise my faith in my connection to something greater than myself was being tested. I see now with the insight of experience, that I was about to embark on something that was new for me that I had not previously experienced ever before in any lifetime and I would be forever changed by it for the good of myself and all humankind.

'People have always beaten a path to my door, seeking insights into their issues and left with ideas, insights and options to help them 'remember who they are' and change their lives for the better.'

"The only thing that makes sense to me about my life, is that I 'chose' to be here in this life as Olwynne Cade. I chose a meaning filled, heart felt life. I chose the challenges that have come to me, so that I could grow up through them and be who I am today.
​I know with certainty that this will continue to the conclusion of this lifetime and then a new journey will begin."

"We say we want to leave behind a better world that is free from prejudice and fear, that is clean and organic.
And I put to you that you are not just leaving this to the children of today but to yourself of tomorrow.
What you create today you will find on your return. " Olwynne Cade 2016 ©

The Voices In My Head 
 - a 5 part blog series

Critical Critic - Part 1

Being more of myself has been the MOST challenging thing I have ever done and I chose a life full of challenges this time around.
I have received brickbats and bouquets in equal amounts and the brick bats really hurt. I am told you have to grow a thicker skin. Mine is still thin and I bruise easily, but I am not going to grow a thicker one, because that will mean that I have to be someone I am not...read more

The Sky Is Falling - Part 2

I know fear intimately. We have had a long association which means that my fight and flight system is a well oiled machine. During the Canterbury earthquakes it got a real work out; I still prick up my senses and react like a Meerkat when I hear a rumbling noise. I consider that is a positive thing as I may need to flee, seek protection or take action. But my unhealthy relationship with fear started at a very early age to deal with the rigours of my home life and the carnage that followed.
Fear has been a constant companion, holding me in its grip, masquerading as the man invisible dark presence that would take over without warning, sabotaging so much of my life...read more.

Is Your Gatekeeper Up To The Job - Part 3

 What is a Gatekeeper you maybe asking?
My personal experience of the Gatekeeper is an archetypal guardian who stands at the threshold of your personal boundaries and vets everything and everyone that wants to enter your personal space. 
They are your energetic intuitive personal PA, Manager or Chief of Staff. Their role is vital for your well-being and your safety on all levels.
Like the medieval Gatekeepers of old they call to whatever and whoever wants to enter your space to identify themselves and their intentions, "Who goes there and what do you want?" If the prospective enteree does not meet the criteria, they are sent packing, the drawbridge remains in place and the portcullis stays lowered...read more.

Get a Haircut - Get A Job - Part 4

​"You are a lazy worthless SOB! You need to smarten up and get a real job! All this stupid follow your dreams stuff is for fairies, sissies and lunatics. You are lazy, plain old lazy do you hear me?"
There he goes again, the Drill Sergeant Major. He shouts his rhetoric as he marches up and down in front of me with his baton under his arm. Buttons highly polished, shoes shined to within an inch of their lives, not a crease out of place and his hair cut to within a centimeter of non-existence. His face is red, with jaw set in his determined self-righteous way. Eyes squinting and widening as he spews forth. We will call him DSM for short. He won't like that!...read more

I'll Save You - Part 5​

Do you remember this movie? Many of you probably weren't born when this movie was made. I still think Christopher Reeve was the best version of Superman. His gentle nature and modesty showed through the superhuman character he brought to life and then into the latter years of his life when he tragically fell from his horse, becoming a quadriplegic. Even in his altered state of disability he was a superhero of the human kind...read more

Bloom Where You Are Planted

I dreamed of a time

Why do we make this journey you may ask? Because we can. Because it is how we learn and grow. Each day of our lives is an act or courage and determination.
I know now that I was going to need a lot of courage to live this life I had chosen.  It would take everything I could muster to get through the early years and what got me there was my dreams of a better life...read more

just be more of yourself

My children would often hear me tell them, "if you want to see who you really are then have a look at your friends." I wanted them to learn that they will attract to themselves that which they are being. Whilst sharing this pearl of wisdom with them, I was also learning to apply it to myself. I can truly say that it served both me and my children well...read more

Well John Cleese - I really am welsh and proud of it!

​It's official! After 55 years of telling people that I am not Welsh, in reply to their query about the origins of my name - Olwynne, I can now say, with great pride - Yes! I am Welsh.
So how did this come about and how did I not know this important piece of information for 55 years? All I can say to that is life is a journey of unfolding mysteries...read more

The Karma Effect

How many times have you said if I only knew then what I know now? I would do things differently. 
​Reincarnation and Karma give us the opportunity to experience multiple lifetimes, electing the life path that offers us our greatest learning experience, reincarnation being a fundamental element in our spiritual tree of life and Karma is a major supporting branch of the divine gift, of being given a second chance. Hopefully you will be given it in your present incarnation and if not you will certainly have another go at it in your next...read more
