And then it all came crashing down! After my blissful Christmas period, the past couple of weeks have been challenging.

In that quiet, slowed-down space, familiar emotional patterns surfaced—self-judgment, frustration, and the desire for […]

Over the New Year period a friend of mine shared a practice she has seen on social media. The practice involved writing 13 intentions on paper, folding them and placing them into a container and randomly pulling one each day to burn. On January 2nd, one intention would remain and that would be your intention […]

Over the Christmas and New Year season, I was immersed in family, celebration, and a deep noticing of inner change. With my children, nieces, and nephews gathered together—and one of my brothers visiting from Perth—it culminated in celebrating my Dad’s 80th birthday. It felt meaningful and full, layered with love, connection, and presence. Alongside this […]

I went to Perth for the weekend with my ex-husband and my kids for my ex-mother in law’s funeral. She lived a long, happy and independent life right until the end so we were sad but ok. She is my ex-husband’s step mother although she married his Dad when he was 16 and was a […]

Holy Heck! What a drop in! I was feeling it before we even had the opening ceremony on Tuesday morning here in Australia. I am diving deep into the 5 […]

I woke with a migraine. It’s only been two weeks since the last one. I was annoyed as it did not ‘fit’ with my plan for the day. It especially did not fit into my work schedule for the day or the busy life I generally like to lead! I took some pills and went […]

Last night I had dinner with my ex-husband of 4 years and my three sons who are nearly 18, 15 and nearly 12. I say nearly to highlight the fact that we were having an informal dinner to present my nearly 18 year old son with his birthday gift a few days early.  It all […]
