Sex is not a Dirty Word

Warning-This is a very raw and bold piece and some may find it a little confronting. An extract from a larger piece of writing I have been asked to do. I am not referring to casual sex but rather deep, committed connections. And for those who are physically healthy and able bodied. It is myContinue reading “Sex is not a Dirty Word”

Embracing Middle Age

When we are teenagers we cannot wait to be adults, so we can legally get into pubs and clubs and we believe this will bring us a whole host of freedoms. We travel through our 20’s and as we near 30, many panic a little and feel the need to be settled and have thatContinue reading “Embracing Middle Age”

Don’t Hide Your Magic

I was sitting here reflecting on the past year and how incredibly fast it has gone by. I look back at the past few years and am in awe at how much can actually happen and change! If someone had of said to me 5 years ago this is where you will be 5 yearsContinue reading “Don’t Hide Your Magic”

Me and My Shadow

I’ve spoken a lot about my journey of self healing and self love. My growth, change or transformation, whatever term is given, it all started with shadow work. Carl Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist who believed we all carry a shadow, that part of ourselves we don’t often identify with, that part of ourselves thatContinue reading “Me and My Shadow”

I think very positively and know I will do amazing things as I continue to put the hardwork in, however, until you faceContinue reading “The Beauty in once being Broken”

She Woke Up Different

I have written a lot about my journey of self-discovery, transformation or awakening, whatever term is used it’s really all the same thing. My core and soul are still the same, I still love how I love, I still care how I care and I still give how I give. So what is different? TheContinue reading “She Woke Up Different”

Eyes are the Windows to our Soul

They say the eyes are the windows to the soul and through the eyes, those of us perceptive enough will always see the truth. Some can look into another’s eyes and get an insight into their inner world, their feelings and maybe even their thoughts. Eye contact is important in communication and eye contact canContinue reading “Eyes are the Windows to our Soul”

Nature in our Souls

As the weekend comes to a close I reflect on how very fortunate I am. Today I ventured out in nature amongst the greenery on a clifftop walk along the coast. The sun was shining, the views spectacular and the company awesome. There is something about the trees, rocks and ocean sound that is soContinue reading “Nature in our Souls”
