Sugar & Spice & All Things ‘Nice’

We were all brought up in a society that asks us to be nice, to be polite, to respect authority, to seek approval. And to some degree these things are fine and good in society when in balance. They only become a problem when that ‘nice’ part of us—the part of us that craves acceptance, […]

Love is an Action

Love is what you do. My Mission: Love as Action My mission on this beautiful planet is simple and clear: to consistently choose love. And to realign myself with love, each time I waver. This is my heartfelt commitment and my sole expertise. Understanding that love is not just a feeling, but an action – […]

“Love What is Mortal, Hold it Against Your Bones, and When the Time Comes, Let it Go”

Lines from the poem “In Blackwater Woods” by Mary Oliver. They remind us to love all that it is to be human, to be here in this moment. Life itself is a fleeting gift, a treasure of transient moments, and so we are urged to hold it close, to celebrate it, and, when the time […]

Regulating Your Nervous System – ‘Adulting’

This information was utterly new to me until my mid-40s. For years, I searched through so many different solutions for emotional healing (without quite thinking of it in those terms). The approaches that provided me with some semblance of a solution included Internal Family Systems (IFS), polyvagal theory, therapy, yoga, and meditation….. I didn’t fully […]

When You’re on the Hook

You see it early. Something doesn’t quite line up. The intensity is fast. Too fast. Big statements, big energy, talk of the future before there’s anything real to base it on. But it feels good. You’re being chosen. Desired. Seen. It’s direct, confident, certain. There’s no ambiguity in the beginning. That’s what pulls you in. […]

Then I Hear Maria Callas Sing

Like she’s reaching across time to remind me of a hidden truth—something beyond my struggles, my daily chaos. Art is a force of nature that can rekindle inspiration and clarity. Callas’ voice lifts me out […]

Allow Me To

I love this practise or prayer. Write an ‘allow me to’ list for yourself daily. Allow me to know all is well Allow me to know ‘it is done’ Allow me to feel my tribe with me Allow me to let go Allow me to move forwards Allow me to take care of the parts […]

Regaining Faith in Humanity Through Art – Yoko Ono

I was suffering with thoughts of suffering, suffering caused by humans, on the innocent. It’s agonising to me. I know hurt people hurt people. People feel disavowed in life, some are born sick, and others held down …..but I just couldn’t shake the thought that this world would be better off without us. Then…… I […]

You Are Your Safe Place – Surviving Narcissism, Psychopaths & Limerance

The question should no longer be whether or not narcissists or psychopaths really exist, it should be; are you recognising the patterns when you’re in a relationship with one. Because it rarely feels dangerous at the start. It feels exciting. Fun. Alive. People high in manipulative traits (call them narcissistic, controlling, whatever) tend to: move […]
