I am writing this so I never forget: Life is a gift. Regardless of what I think I do or don’t have, lamenting over my supposed struggle, feeling sorry for myself or wishing things would be easier, I know that I am blessed. I never go hungry, I have always had a bed to sleepContinue reading “May we never forget the blessing that life is”

I’ll take my brownies bite sized please!
I had a conversation with someone today that made me remember that my natural tendency is to put as much as possible on my plate, take the biggest bite, and leap the tallest hill at the start that I end up getting nothing done in the long run. This is a pattern that continuously hasContinue reading “I’ll take my brownies bite sized please!”
Awareness whispered in my ear and called me out
It’s a humbling and funny experience to realize the version of yourself you’ve created in your head doesn’t quite match up with reality. It’s even funnier when one of you’re talking points is self awareness. This has been what has had me crying and laughing in equal measure. It has made me realize just howContinue reading “Awareness whispered in my ear and called me out”
Don’t look back, you are not going that way!
One thought that circulated in my head today was how much we don’t allow ourselves to change, transform and evolve as human beings. It made think of how fear is the biggest reason for this. If we start to become someone different, perhaps a version of ourselves that is so radically opposed to who weContinue reading “Don’t look back, you are not going that way!”

If ignorance is bliss then awareness is a merciless and painful punch to the throat. But if we are going to make true, long lasting and genuine change then we cannot hide from ourselves or behind a wall of ignorance and have to be willing to allow the pain of awareness to transform us. ToContinue reading “There is no where to hide when you are self aware”
I must be growing up
I don’t like waiting. I’ve always been the type of person who jumps right in – no need to test the waters beforehand – whether that be with an actual cold body of water, lifestyle changes, or putting myself out there. I was chatting with a friend the other the day and arguing that thereContinue reading “I must be growing up”
Nobody has the power to tell me who I am
If there is one thing that has been resonating with me today, its that no one knows our journey and our story as intimately as we do. Of course on the surface that’s an obvious statement and goes without saying, but the deeper I considered it the more I realised just how empowering it is.Continue reading “Nobody has the power to tell me who I am”
