A Dedication

I dedicate this post to a dear friend of mine, who’s life was forever changed one year ago today. Her son passed away and I cannot imagine the grief and pain she has endured. As a mother my heart aches, as a friend I wish I could take away a little of her suffering, asContinue reading “A Dedication”

The Best Of Me

Today I reflect upon my greatest gifts, my two kids. They are incredible human beings, with all their goodness, their individuality, their uniqueness and their flaws. My love for them is indescribable, they have always made me want to be a better person. They are the reason I have dragged myself out of bed onContinue reading “The Best Of Me”

The Goddess Within

Embrace your journey. Hold space in your heart for those who have loved you along the way. Let the love and happiness within you shine out of your very being and always remember the Goddess within you. Have faith in what will be. She sat there on the clifftop Reflecting upon her life Thinking howContinue reading “The Goddess Within”

The Magic Of Music

I was reminded today of the magic of music. Its ability to transport you to a memory, its capability of making you happy or sad and its potential to make you forget everything around you, sometimes even where you are. Check anyone’s playlist and I’ll guarantee there’s a playlist for workouts, for relaxing, for motivating,Continue reading “The Magic Of Music”

Is Age Just a Number?

A comment I have heard on multiple occasions , “age is just a number”. As someone who will be 52 this year, I am very aware that some people consider this old and truthfully, when I was in my 20’s I too thought this was “old”. Fact is I do not feel old, I haveContinue reading “Is Age Just a Number?”

Feeling and Dealing

We live in a world where we seem to always be busy. Working, socialising, sport, playing on our phones, watching Netflix, shopping, exercising or whatever else keeps us from actually “feeling and dealing”. Now our current new life in hibernation has really changed things. Many of the usual things we would do to occupy ourselvesContinue reading “Feeling and Dealing”

Self-care in hibernation

What interesting times we are currently living in! As someone who lives alone and often works from home, I really didn’t think I would be overly bothered with this hibernation business, but I like to be the decision maker of my life and not be told to stay home! The good thing is I haveContinue reading “Self-care in hibernation”

Should I take up surfing?

I walked down the beach this afternoon, as I do everyday and there was a decent swell and a heap of surfers out, so I decided to watch for a while. I have always found it calming watching the ocean and I’ve always marvelled at the skill of surfers and the “no fear” attitude theyContinue reading “Should I take up surfing?”

What is a Friend?

Happy Easter friends! Thought I would do a quick blog on friendship. Now, I have a varied group of friends, some have been around for years and some are newer on my horizon, but all fill a very important role in my life. Most are straight shooters and do not hold back and honestly, IContinue reading “What is a Friend?”
