Inspirational fodder to help create open minds, healthy bodies and raise spirits...!

Olwynne Cade , 1 May 2008

If you are reading the words on this page then you are hopefully one of the many of us on this planet who have admitted that we need time to feed the most important part of ourselves - our soul or spirit.

My own personal experiences of making the connection with my soul leaves me in no doubt that we are here for a much higher purpose than to work, sleep, eat and die. These activities are all part of our life here as human beings and if we want to be accepted as hardworking and worthwhile citizens of this earth we had better not forget it!

And how could we, when it has been drummed into us since the moment of our arrival here. So, if that is the be all and end all of existence here then why do we look to individuals who have chosen to defy the boundaries. They have displayed defiance in their quest against the normal code of acceptability, scaling dizzy heights of success, winning the admiration of all of the ‘joe blows’ who follow the lower and safer paths to mediocrity. This poses the statement told to us by those who suffer mediocrity “but we can’t all be the best! Who said that?!!

We may not be rich and famous but if we are following our hearts and doing what makes us happy, then we are our own heroines and heroes and that’s all that matters in the end.When we follow our heart we feed our soul. The universe opens its arms and showers us with all of its abundant pleasures. Life flows and people and opportunities fall into our laps. We have smiles on our faces and a spring in our step.

So, I hear you ask “How can I feed my soul when I have to earn a living and feed my family and pay my credit card bills and my mortgage and look after my sick parents and keep my kids in school and make my car payments and have my garden weed free and visit my parents-in-law every Sunday and go to church and go to work and make my monthly sales target and run my business efficiently and keep my partner happy and ............?!!!!!!! Sound familiar?

It goes on every day in lives all over the world and yet we still don’t get the message:

'Take the time to feed your soul!'

I don’t mean to scare you but it usually takes a wake up call to make us realise that we spend much of our time people pleasing and not taking care of ourselves. Putting ourselves first is regarded as selfish and so we place our health and happiness at the bottom of the pile, UNTIL that big wake up call from the universe comes and suddenly we realise that perhaps we have to change something.

How often have we heard ourselves and others say that the accident or the illness couldn’t have come at a worse time.

Yep! Disasters have no sense of timing, but you do.

By taking control of your life, you place your health and well being in the hands of the best and only person who truly cares about you - you! SOUL QUISINE ­- INSPIRATIONAL FODDER TO HELP CREATE OPEN MINDS, HEALTHY BODIES AND RAISE SPIRITS purpose is to help you take your life back and introduce you to people who are feeding their souls with new and innovative concepts to make your journey to yourself as “soul full “as possible. SOUL QUISINE comes in many forms and can present itself anywhere at any time.

The call to make change can come in many disguises in all shapes and sizes and wrapped in every kind of packaging you could imagine.We’ve also found all of the excuses under the sun not to take notice of the warning signs that were presented to us before the big one hit so there shouldn’t be any left for you. Some of us, especially me, were so thick skinned that I had to have more than one or two major disasters before I finally agreed to surrender and take up the cause of feeding my soul. Coming face to face with our earthly mortality usually does it or the loss of someone or something near and dear to us.

We, at Soul Quisine, will share our experiences with you past and present so that you may perhaps be able to jump off the tread mill and spend less time shuffling around in the dark looking for the light switch.

Or perhaps your BIG BANG has already happened and you are lost under the rubble and debris. Or maybe you just want to sit back and enjoy some time out with other likeminded souls. The path to a happier existence results in each of us having to face the fact that our lives weren’t particularly spiritual. The one part of us that could heal all other parts was being greatly ignored - our heart, our soul, our spirit.

In the months to come I trust that you will take the time from your hectic lives to put your feet up and hang out with us as we share with you how to fill your cups to overflowing with the liquid essence of life. Let us massage your shoulders and rub your temples with enough of life’s good things to inspire you to get off your treadmill and get out of the doldrums, fly high and feel free.

If this talk is too optimistic for you then we are just what you need. If happy people make you sick then you need us all the more so don’t shut this page before you have at least  printed it out, stuck it on the wall and thrown a few darts at it. Better to disagree than have no opinion at all. Thanks for taking the time to read my musings. I look forward to talking with you again and until then here’s a little piece of inspiration that I was sent to me from intelligent life forms some years ago.

Defining quality:

“Someone one naturally shines with as opposed to always fumbling for the light switch.”

MAY YOU ALWAYS SHINE BRIGHTLY.

Cheers,

Olwynne Cade
