    2025 Moments That Matter: Cherishing the Unspoken

    2025 ~ what. a. year. Of the 34 flights and the 8 countries visited – do you know what I will treasure the most? The quiet moments, the “unspoken world.” It’s having your whole family in your first home, one you’ve filled with the essence of you. your love. It’s seeing your mums face as…

    Solo & Unplugged

    Have you listened to any podcasts Johan Harri has done on his recent book Stolen Focus? Nor had I, until about a month ago when I was on a walk with good friend of mine. Although I say we were on a walk together, but what I mean is, we left the house together but…

    Be Willing to Fail

    Be willing to fail ✔️ This is a big one for me. I guess for everyone, really.  I remember a friend of mine recently said: “you don’t think you’ve missed the boat with your retreats?” And although it was said in such a harmless and inquisitive way, I took it straight to heart. Have I…

    “Follow your passion. It will lead to your purpose.” – Oprah Winfrey There’s an ageless expression of ‘love what you do and you’ll never work a day in your life’, and although yeah – it’s little corny – it also couldn’t be more true. My word of advice is find what you love, what lights…

    “Our breath is the only thing that stays with us from the moment we are born to the moment we die.” – Jay Shetty Seems like it might be a good thing to befriend, if you ask us. A very valuable tool of yoga is pranayama: the art or science of breathing. If we can…

    A Year of Second Hand Clothing

    Ahh the things you learn when you step outside your comfort zone. I used to be a shopaholic – I’ll be the first to admit that. I used retail therapy as exactly that- therapy. I used the comfort of purchasing new clothes and the way it made me feel, to fill whatever emotion I was…

  • Check Back in with Your Goals

    Check Back in with Your Goals

    Check back in with your goals. ✅ It’s a beautiful thing to be driven. To set yourself goals and targets to achieve, and mini milestones to accomplish. It makes life fun, exciting, and holds us accountable. I realised the other day however, that I’ve become somewhat of a goal setting fanatic. 🤨 I set goals…

    Prayer ~ and the power of light

    P R A Y E R ✨ (or, sending light) I was wanting to write a post about prayer but unsure how I would start it, and just then I stumbled across one of my teachers on Instagram TV (Rita 🌿 @druworldwide) and I realised how simple it actually was. I’ve never considered myself religious, I…
