Be true to yourself

Those who are close to me, know I am in the middle of a big change. It is frightening and exciting all at once. For me this is a big deal. I am leaving behind something that has been a part of my life for 8 years, something I have grown from it’s infancy. Although […]

Watch me rise…

The time has come for me to be me. I have spent far too long being the person I thought people expected me to be. Battling on because I thought I had to. We have to listen to our inner voice, to follow our passions, beliefs and values. I start listening today. Watch me rise….. […]

Why aren’t you swimming?

Thank you my friend for asking me the question today. You would think that by the ripe age of 41, I would know by now how vitally important it is for my brain. Yet, I get caught up and I forget. Forget the pure pleasure as I dive into the cool, clear water. The almost […]

R U OK?

Thankfully today I am ok. But…… yesterday was a whole other story. I jotted down what it felt like… Some days I honestly think I am going around the bend. There is so much going on, my brain feels likes it turns to mush. One thing blends into another and then another, then another until […]

Days 14-18 Facebook free

Today instead of going on Facebook I…… Well, I forget all the things I have done along the way this past few days, but it has been in parts; busy, fun, hard work and relaxing. Something I did do….. was over indulge with a friend. A few too many beverages were had on Friday night. […]

Day 12 & 13 Facebook free

Today instead of going on Facebook I……. Went to yoga and I must admit, I am getting better and better at the whole ‘mindful’ practice thing. I used to rush in there and spend a lot of the time thinking about what I was doing and where I was going next or thinking about what […]

Day 10 & 11 Facebook free

Today instead of going on Facebook I……. Sat in the sunshine. In fact right at this moment, I have the strangest mid winter sensation. I feel hot! We have this amazing veranda that goes around our whole house. This morning I am sat on the veranda with a cup of tea in hand enjoying my […]
