MOMENTS OF KINDNESS

Kindness, cheer, smiles, and loved-up feels. Imagine if that’s what everyone felt every day.

 

If that was reality, I imagine the energy bubbling between us would feel buoyant! Luscious, safe and supportive, thick almost, so when we swayed from our path, it was there to nudge us back to alignment. We couldn’t fall, or if we did,...

MIRROR

There are times reflections are bought to the forefront of your mind. 

 

Times like:

  • New Year Celebrations
  • A shock or loss
  • Another trip around the sun

 

That's me. Today I turn 49.

 

There's a few more lines, a bit more weight, less limber joints and lots of lessons learned.

RISING UP

Have you ever been excited about an event and heard yourself say 'I hope everything goes well!' or you're struggling to stay motivated and pray the children will 'just be good today'?
