I haven’t blogged for a little while (I am learning to honour this cyclical nature of my creativity), but here I am – called to express myself again. When I opened up the blank document to write this blog I didn’t intend to write about my year in review or a look forward into 2020.…

Self-compassion is a fairly new concept for me, but in my opinion it should be something we all learn to cultivate in our lives. Unfortunately self-compassion can sometimed be viewed as a sign of weakness (according to society), or thought of as “feeling sorry for ourselves” or holding us back from “getting on with it”.

It’s the quiet after the creation. My energy is depleted. I never want to do that again (I know I never mean it). But let’s begin at the beginning. I am full of energy and feeling good. Light. Effortless. Free of procrastination. A sense of having let go of stress, worry and fear. I have…

Journaling. I am in awe of how it can unlock parts of you that you didn’t know were there. You can peel back the layers (lot’s of layers… in fact there are an endless number of them). There is so much to learn about ourselves and most of us have barely scratched the surface.

Go inward, find clarity, manifest your best life… I have always been a lover of journaling, but it wasn’t until 2015 when I was diagnosed with a progressive disease that affects my hands and feet that I turned to self-care and journaling to help me through all these new feelings. Journaling has helped me clear…

Sometimes we have a moment of clarity. A moment when something clicks. It simplifies things. It excites us. It allows us to make a decision we had been trying to reach, or to step into our power. The next step becomes easy. Maybe easy isn’t the right word. I like “easeful” because what you need…

When you are feeling all confused and cannot decide.

Step out of your head away from your thoughts.

What does your heart say? She will let you know what you truly want.

What does your that feeling in your tummy say? Your intuion? She will let you know the step to take.

Go back to your head and let her know what she needs to make happen.

My heart bursts. Excited, child-like wonderment. It feels all the feelings. It is where my values, ideals, dreams and hopes lie. How am I ever going to do all of the things it is tugging me towards. Does it not know I can’t possibly do all of it at once?

Self – Care – why do I feel so uncomfortable saying those words?

I am going to admit something here. I am not yet comfortable using the term “self care”. I have no issue with others using it. But when I say it, or read where I have written it in past blog posts, well I feel really funny. Uncomfortable. I feel fake. I don’t feel like it…

Organising my Home Office Space – and a surprising revelation that I like super organised spaces

Sometimes I love to organise. Sometimes I am excited to declutter. It is a fleeting urge that goes away unless I take action straight away. If I give in to this urge, then momentum builds and a lot of overhauling takes place. Usually I end up overdoing it and become exhausted.
