Pure Reflections

An Interview with Julie McKenzie.

Talking from the heart, Julie McKenzie, a clairvoyant, spirit medium, author, mother, wife & friend, has some inspiring & powerful words to share with us, "Allow no fear into your heart.." she says gently in this one on one interview.

As I sit opposite this attractive, softly spoken young woman, I realise that her words of wisdom are what we have always known, its just e don't take enough time to actually live them. As the aromas of oils, incense & flower essences waft around me, my pen could go no faster. Here in a very frank interview, she gives the answers to some of the questions we all want to know, and shares with us some amazing facts about her life & herself.

Where were you born? Gladstone, Queensland

When did you realise you had the ability to communicate with spirit? I always had imaginary friends and often played with the fairies when I was young but, I was nearly four when I recall the first Angel I had ever met. I was in a car accident with my Mum and the Blue Angel helped me calm down as I watched Mum receive medical treatment. He was so beautiful and strong. I never felt scared as he held my hand.

What are your likes? Being Free, Outdoors and Nature, Animals, Horse riding, Meditating, but on a more grounding note I like basketball, netball and having fun with my family and kids.

What are your dislikes? I do not really dislike anything as I always try to find a positive to match and balance each situation. But on a everyday level, house cleaning (is good exercise though), Tax (helps someone have a job) etc

Who inspires you the most? My Kids, they always look for the bright side and can let a grievance go so quickly. They have no fear and will try anything even if it means getting in trouble. My kids think it is worth it just to see what happens, what it feels like, (such as jumping out of a high tree). I learn so much for them. They teach me to sometimes look at the world through a child’s eyes.

Tell us a little about your family? I love my family they are so supportive of me. My husband helps keep me grounded, not to float off all the time with the fairies. My children help me float with the fairies. My Mum is so proud of me and helps me so much to look for the sparkles of life. My Sister and her family always help me in any circumstance and has always been there to catch me when I fall.

How have the events in your life changed the way you live your life? I feel life is too short to worry about all the “what ifs and maybes in life.” The time is now; it is what is front of you that is the most important, not money, not career. I love to look and appreciate the good things in life as I believe that everything is a lesson and that there are no mistakes. I believe that we need to learn from our mistakes and move forward in life, to believe in who we are inside and follow our hearts true soul.

What is your favourite music? This is really grounding but, I love U2, Bon Jovi and right now I love Black Eyed Peas, Pink and Gwen Stefani (my kids love it!) But on a softer note I love Bliss and Deva Primal and Karunesh.

What is your favourite Food? Anything, I love food but mainly I love savory food and love a chocky a day.

What is your favourite film? Mist of Avalon. I have a real connection to these times.

What are you working on at the moment? I had so much fun writing Gemma & The Fairies, that I am working on the next Gemma Book, Gemma & the Fairy Kittens.  I have started a news series of Hughie Books and the first one will be Hughie & the Pegasus.  On the Adult side I am working on Enchanted Meditations.

When will the next book be published? There will be a few books being released in 2009. If you want to be kept up to date with the book releases just sign up to the free newsletter.
