  • Honesty

    Life shifts when you start being honest with yourself. It feels like an exhale. A surrender. A subtle sense of letting life be. I am learning that healing doesn’t happen when you force it. For me, the actual magic has… Continue reading

  • Bearing the Fruits of Life

    I’ve been fast asleep to the truth of this phrase. Even though I’ve known the phrase since childhood, I’ve never connected the ways my own life has ‘grown fruit.’ It’s a phrase that has always remained slightly abstract, to me.… Continue reading

  • Good

    I’ve been doing the dishes by candlelight, not because it’s dark, but because the candles make me feel something. Our dishwasher is broken, and I’m amazed to say I’m pleased. The candles take me home. The swirling of soapy water… Continue reading

    The word sipping is very pretty, isn’t it? Delicate, like the action it shows. I can see a small pair of hands, a little tea cup beside a little light. And I know it is home. I know it is… Continue reading

    It’s becoming easier. Easier to find them, easier to keep them. I suspect it is because I’ve been at this meditation caper for so long now that the benefits are becoming more obvious. My flow state is easier to come… Continue reading

  • Surprising Ways To Achieve Peace

    I have been searching for peace all my life, but it has only been the last couple of years (I’ve just celebrated my 39th birthday) that I’ve actually realised it. Peace is a value. A need. And for me, it… Continue reading
