What to do when you are Triggered.

Have you ever felt like you have dealt with past painful events, traumas, things that used to cause you upset, or at least put them aside and then seemingly out of nowhere you are hit with a 300 million volt of lightning? Suddenly you feel triggered, upset, anxious, teary, shaky, angry or even like you want to be sick? If you have then please know many of us can completely relate. This happened…

why the pursuit of money is not the pursuit of happiness

Have you ever felt like you are living out of alignment with yourself? Have you ever had the feeling that there is something missing and can’t quite put words to it? Have you ever felt like you want to get up and shake your tail feathers, but are afraid of the judgement from others if you do?

If you are still reading this then I am guessing you are thinking one of two things, what is she…

Are you ok? It is ok to say you are not. In fact saying you are not ok can be a good thing, why? If you are not ok it can be healthy to recognise it and go that step further in admitting it to yourself and hopefully to others around you. We often feel the pressure to just answer “I’m fine,” or “all good thanks”! At times it isn’t even that we feel the pressure to say we are ok, we just say it as…

How have you been feeling lately? Have you felt you’re in a funk? If so let me start by saying you are not alone! If you are feeling like life has been taking a lot from you, or dulled your sparkle it is not surprising with the collective energy in your current external world.

Perhaps you are feeling the opposite, perhaps this new decade has lead you into new beginnings, perhaps you are not…

We are all experiencing one of the most intense times in our history, life as we knew it at the beginning of 2020 is most certainly not life as we are experiencing it now. This new decade was bound to be an interesting and life changing one for everyone. However, as much as we could have predicted there would be some pain and turmoil during this new decade most of us were not anticipating just…

Sitting on the grass I am listening to the sounds of the birds who sound like they are busy sending each other messages, I wonder what they are saying? I am barefoot and feeling completely grounded right now, completely connected to the earth and my deeper self. I am lucky enough to be sitting by the sea, and when I look up I see boats sailing upon the water, people riding bikes, children playing…

it is ok to start small

I feel like a tiny insignificant particle of dust upon the Earth, one person, just a woman with little influence, what do I matter? What can I have to say that anyone would bother to pay attention to? Along with that attitude I mix in some regret, self loathing, and a big dose of insecurity. I can not count the amount of times I have sat at my laptop and typed blog posts since Covid began, and…

I am living, but I am hiding. It has been so long since I have felt like writing, but it is not just writing, it has been reading, art, really any of my passions. I feel like I am standing in a river and the water around me is still flowing, yet somehow I am still standing still, paused, maybe lost? The truth hit me just before when I heard the word ‘hope‘ and I realised that is what I am truly…

who do we trust

There is so much advice, and expert opinion in the world on how to act, how we should raise our children, what we should eat, what to put on our skin, who we should vote for, I mean you understand what I am saying because you are also being told this and that, you get it, I don’t need to keep giving examples! Sometimes it makes me just want to scream, sometimes it makes me want to hide under my…

I was on instagram today (no big surprise there), and I was sharing an image of writing in the sand, it reads “Believe in You” I wrote it whilst on the beach yesterday evening with my 12 year old, she added an exclamation mark to it later.

It got me thinking about how much I needed that message in my life as a child and up until several years ago, and even occasionally I have needed reminders…

you continue to inspire me

Yesterday I was asked what I blog about, it is always a question that makes me pause… I honestly don’t know exactly how to put my blog into a niche. My response was it ‘evolves‘, what it was when I began was my voice, my reflections and my truth, and it still is those exact things, yet as I have evolved, grown, faced my fears and grown more comfortable in my own skin, what I write about has…

Sitting in a cafe sipping a cafe latte and indulging in a fresh pastry (baked by their onsite French pastry chef) I am just soaking up the atmosphere of background music and the gentle chatter of patrons who swarm to this tiny bakery that is in a little side street that you would miss if the locals didn’t tell you about it. I still feel like a tourist, yet this is now my town, my home. The quirky…

My intention when deciding to move to the bay was for life to slow down, when we set intentions with meaning and purpose, the idea is for them to manifest… I guess I just wasn’t expecting it to work so well. I have the urge to apologise to you as my reader, (a lifelong habit that is hard to break) for not blogging for so long, however I know that taking the time to settle into our new environment…

Tips for coping with Hay Fever

Wooden verandas are covered in pollen, winds sweep across the fields and days go between blue skies and endless sunshine with threats of bushfires on our endless plains, to thunderstorms and rain that soaks deep into the earth.

The gardens are bursting with flowers, the air full of buzzing sounds of busy worker bees pollinating, and baby animals are being born, spring has truly sprung! It is…

For the first time in a long time things are moving slowly. My craving for simpler days are finally here. This past weekend we all enjoyed the serenity of life on this small farm, that for now we call home. We welcomed the intermittent thunderstorms and cooler winds, happy to be cosy inside with little to do but play games and chat with one another.

We have been here a little over a week and…

Moving Fast…

There is one four letter word I was happy to hear this past weekend, SOLD! We did it, we sold our house.

HOLD THE PRESS….. I wrote that two, well two and a half weeks ago, then I got distracted and have not picked up my laptop since! Still it was a super exciting day. We have always chosen private sale before when selling and we have never bid at an Auction either so it was such a rush of…

listening to your body

I feel completely drained right now, my mind feels foggy, just not quite clear and my head feels heavy like I just want to lay it down on a soft pillow. My shoulders are aching, even my fingers feel heavy upon the keyboard as if it is hard to lift them to hit the next key.

This is part of mindfulness, recognising what is going on in your body in the present moment even if it doesn’t feel all…
