I have heard it a thousand times… tried it over and over the years… but have not found it easy to do.    Last weekend I had a revelation around forgiveness. I am propelled to share as it was profound… to reflect, acknowledge it wholeheartedly and forgive. Time for me to forgive other...

They say mental health, domestic violence and suicide will increase... it's so awful to think this is the case... a big part of me just does not want to think about it but sadly it's what happens when people are in 'lock down', isolation, mental turmoil and thrown into the unknown. We're definitely experiencing the most bizarre-est of times.  We have to supp...

The whole world is tuning in to a new ‘virtual’ reality.     This crisis is twofold: health and economics. Our leaders are still getting their heads around this COVID-19 pandemic, trying to avoid economic collapse whilst having to ‘lock down’ to stop the spread of a virus.     IT departments are scrambling to set-up remote users, home offices securely. Wi-...

It’s a real awakening when you realise no matter what is happening… this is life!   Regardless of the latest news, reasons, and excuses about why this or that, this is the life… the life we are meant to be living with all its beauty and imperfections.     Now the most significant global concern is the Coronavirus and its implications.

To keep my nerves ...

It’s that time of the month again . I remember feeling very awkward when my menstrual cycle began. It is so natural yet it’s disruptive, often causing abdominal pain, headaches, boob discomfort etc. You probably can relate to withdrawing from activities or just feeling very self-conscious and uncomfortable.  Dealing with our hormonal changes, periods and em...

Hi, have you seen the latest Lion King film? It’s fabulous and was a lovely way to end our holidays! The characters, leaders and schemers, antics, soundtrack, innocence, playfulness and imagery are captivating – it’s such a wonderful   story and I concur with Mufasa  “in nature there is a delicate balance''. Getting organised for ‘back to school’ can be eas...

When I think about keeping well, especially over the winter months, it depends on how we look after ourselves on a regular basis. We want to be ‘well’ before the onslaught of colds, coughs, flu, allergies, viruses and all the bugs associated with the colder months.  Generally, a pro-active preventative approach saves lots of time, worry and money.  If we eat...

I’ve been reflecting on how wonderful nature is, and how we feel when we’ve spent time outside, even just letting our feet be free occasionally. A walk or whole day outdoors is so invigorating, I’m sure you love it as much as we do, but how often? Imagine it now… big open spaces, fresh air expanding every cell… the sweet song of birds, a sparkling waterfall ...

Each drop is potent and powerful, often requiring dilu...
