I wrote this post almost exactly 12 months ago. It appeared on a good friend’s blog at the time and I realise now I never shared it here. Although things have moved on massively for me in the last year it’s never a bad thing to remind yourself how far you’ve come… “Change is aContinue reading “Change is a powerful thing.”

S P A C E
I find myself seeking out space. Winter makes way for Spring. The sun rises earlier and sets later, a spectacle of light. The sky is blue and clear, it captures my attention and catches my breath. I turn my gaze upwards and sense a world opening up. The light is changing in the house andContinue reading “S P A C E”
Meeting Your Own Needs.
The ‘Self Care’ movement seems to be gathering pace and I’m all for this, but it does bother me that when something becomes a trend or a hashtag it can turn into a bit of a cliche that we all start eye rolling about – think mindfulness and veganism.

She feels so deeply and widely and she inspires me to do the same. That is, when I’m not tearing my hair out from her outbursts. ButContinue reading “Shedding skins.”
The Yes Mum
Last week I took me and my Inner Goddess on an adventure. I’d booked us a ticket to see the brilliant Hollie De Cruz, of the ‘yesmum’ cards, at the twinkly, shimmery Family Store in Bruton, Somerset. A thing of myths and legends and wonderful, amazing people. Escaping the children, school run, lunch boxes andContinue reading “The Yes Mum”
In these arms.
In these arms, I have fallen asleep more times than I can count I have swooned and fallen in love, I have nestled, snuggled, sighed; In these arms I have brought life into the world, I have writhed with the pain and despaired in the agony, While you fanned me and offered me egg sandwiches;Continue reading “In these arms.”
Primark* – A temple of healing?
Primark (or any other High Street store for that matter) might seem an unexpected mecca of healing but stick with me and let me explain…
