Home at the Colourcafe with Sue Shattock

When starting on a journey into colour nearly twenty years ago it was impossible to imagine where it would all lead.   Experiences as a stage manager and then a writer in television prepared me in one way.  As a colour teacher, a charity helper, a marriage registrar and a video maker all added to the experience and prepared one for another.

For the people once met and teachers who support and inspire, my heartfelt thanks.

Now offering help to others to discover their true selves through colour consultation, writing and as a celebrant, creating happy ceremonies or helping support families who have lost loved ones, all qualifications and experience has been grounded.

The Colourcafe is finally open – make mine a soya cappuccino.

It’s only true if it’s true for you

It seems essential to encourage all at this time to take time to look inside to whatever you call god for “transformation” rather than always outside for “information”.  Check out the “Thought for the day” on one of my favourite sites.  Maybe look at it and then ask inside,  is this true and helpful for me?  http://www.radiosai.org/pages/thought.asp

If you are inspired, write or suggest your own and send them in – why not!   If they are positive, uplifting and inspire you, they might inspire someone else. 

Colourful Ramblings

Writing is fun and freeing.  It helps us to understand and appreciate what going on inside.  Poetry in particular is a wonderful outlet for inspiration.  This poem was written during a time of confusion but writing it helped to restore clarity.

Insight Out

One day the blue became the sun

The sun became the sky

The earth turned purple shades of pink

Confused?  yes so was I

 

Then temptation urged to look without

And judge with others sight

These others who knew more than me

More than you?  That’s right

 

I forgot to ask my teacher friend

My little voice inside

Instead I phoned the astro-line

For tips to soothe and guide

 

But nothing helped to quell my fears

Of change and change about

The day the blue became the sun

My God within went out

 

As time raced by the colours changed

And then they changed once more

Hope drifted further into dread

Of what? It had no core

 

Confused, abandoned by the world

No sense that I could find

Of why the blue should be untrue

And rock my piece of mind

 

At last I turned and talked with God

My teacher friend with clout

And he explained it all to me
