I had a realisation the other day that struck like a lightning bolt, hot and furious, like only a moment of clarity and revelation could. The profundity of this truth boiled down to this: the truth will set you free. So simple, so cliche, yet so transformative. But this transformation will elude so many ofContinue reading “The path to freedom is not about chasing”

Are we listening?
Is maturing making decisions that a version of you 10 years down the road will benefit from and not just the version of you standing today? If it is, then somewhere along the way, to my awe and surprise, I have matured! Most of us believe making better choices for our future includes things likeContinue reading “Are we listening?”
I have been working on myself
Working and loving on myself is one of the hardest things I have embarked on but I had a moment in the past handful of weeks that let me know the fruits of my labour are not only happening but so damn worth it. For the first time, I was able to re-write a patternContinue reading “I have been working on myself”
All it takes is putting one foot in front of the other
In case you feel like you’re the only one struggling, messy, lonely or sad right now – I need you to know that you are not alone. I’ve been there too, I am there too, and I will be there too again. Walking though the valley of despair, the desert of isolation, and the ragingContinue reading “All it takes is putting one foot in front of the other”
That little light of yours? Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
Something I wrote on my Instagram stories lately that has made a home in my heart, and pulled out all of my dreams & fears from the deepest crevices: ”I bloody hate getting uncomfortable, but it is where the best growth happens. & my greatest fear is never realising who I can become; to notContinue reading “That little light of yours? Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.”
I am still finding my footing
It is part of human folly, or at least has been part of my own folly, to expect results overnight even though we’ve heard the cliche over and over that things take time. I reflected on how the first week of 2022 has gone and I know I felt like I was struggling, feeling aContinue reading “I am still finding my footing”
Letting the journey strengthen my heart, instead of weaken it
The most difficult thing I’ve had to do, as I’ve striven towards my dreams and goals, has actually had nothing directly to do with the goals themselves and everything to do with building myself. If you would have told a younger bright eyed and bushy tailed version of me at the start of this journeyContinue reading “Letting the journey strengthen my heart, instead of weaken it”
When one dream is realised, a thousand more become possible
The power of a dream, pursued and realised, doesn’t just lie in the personal achievement and satisfaction of a goal but in the ability to have paved a way and all the doors we can then open for others. It is easy to think that our dreams only affect ourselves, but something that hit meContinue reading “When one dream is realised, a thousand more become possible”
Our worth is undeniable
& on both days, and every day in between, I am worthy. That worth never changes on the days I feel 10 feet tall and bulletproof and especially on those days when it feels like the safest place in the world is wrapped up in my blanket, in the dark, and hidden away from theContinue reading “Our worth is undeniable”
May we never forget the blessing that life is
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”
