At the time I found Yoga Nidra, my system was not happy, it was broken and disconnected from everything. I’d never been much into gyms, yoga, stretching, even relaxing.. I’d started to do a little buit of mindfulness.. mainly colouring in.. I did knit though, which seemed to really calm my system. But committing to and showing up a few times a week for a Yoga NIdra class was the gift to my system that I didn’t even know I needed.
Read MoreWell hello, It’s been a little while. Quite a while actually, since I’ve been here in this space. I took a break because.. well life really. And now I’m listening to the little soul whispers, saying it’s time to share a little more with you again.
Read MoreFor a good few years now, I’ve followed a different kind of calendar when it comes to setting Intentions, moving through the year and anchoring into the potency of our Seasons. It’s be been really powerful being guided by something more than the calendar and just the moon.
I’ve really loved reading and learning all about The Wheel of the Wiccan Year. Not necessarily seeing myself as a Wiccan or Witch. It’s the seasons and the connection to Mother Earth that I’m drawn too. I love working monthly with my intentions and the Moon Phases. I know there is some great power in that, and the moving through and bringing intentions to life in this way is so special. But aligning myself with the ebbs and flows of the overall year is really cool.
Read MoreOriginally when I thought of writing about this theme, I thought it would be about exploring in the physical sense. Maybe I talk about travel, exploring new places. When I looked up the meaning of the word: I felt into it even further & thought wow, we’ve pretty much all experienced a level of exploration this year, not we’ve not really ‘travelled’ anywhere.
Whether it has been exploring & witnessing what a global pandemic can do to you & your community/family. Exploring what life like is without work, without family, friends around, without financial security. Exploring life when working from home & juggling kids home-schooling and exploring your own expectations of that life. Exploring how it feels when you watch the news and see the panic when people think necessities like toilet paper could run out.. I mean that was nuts.
For almost 10 months we’ve all experienced some level of exploring something unfamiliar.
Read MoreThis started as my November newsletter.. It turned into something else & I thought I’d share it.

Happy November, Can you believe 2020! I'm not going to re-hash the last 6 months, but just acknowledging that it's coming up to the last 2 months of the year. And wow, haven't we all had lots going on?
I've found my energy has been fluctuating between really high & motivated to really low and questioning every decision I've made the last 5 years.. Not going to lie, it's a bit to work through. Lots of shitty beliefs & crappy behaviours have come to the surface. Old patterns have showed their scary face. Anyone else feeling this?
Read MoreI took some time off, filled myself with as much vitamin C as my system could handle. I found restorative yoga & yoga nidra.. I read a lot of books, I reduced sugar in my diet, I started walking of a morning..
I STARTED TO FEEL MORE AWAKE & ALIVE..
AND I STARTED TO COME BACK TO MYSELF A LITTLE.
I started to take ownership of my time, MY TIME. My time became really sacred to me. I began putting ‘me’ first. And the practices that I adopted that saved me from all that fatigue: they became my self care practice: before self care was a ‘thing’. This was my turning point. Ohh and learning a new way of working.
