It’s November 23rd I’m sitting on my kitchen floor on my yoga mat, surrounded by washing and cleaning equipment. Its the only space in my home my yoga mat will fit. Our living room is mid repair after a flood that took place in summer, my hallway, bedroom and sunroom full of the living room contents.
I could go out to The Sanctuary but the heating isn’t on. I don’t know why I grabbed my laptop but lets see where we go. This feels like my how my journey started, I blogged over a decade ago and now feels full circle.
Today started ok, I did wake with a little anxiety or weird energy. I did some mediation and decided to have a slower day.
My daughter was struggling to get ready for school, hormones, teen life and deadline to get in the car was not starting well, tears flowed, the energy and emotion literally pouring out of her and around her. As a parent and empath I really find these situations so hard to bare. I tried to help, chatted, hugged her, essential...

She loves flowers, potions, essential oils, flower essences and magic
She loves crystals and nature
She loves healing
She loves exploring natural solutions to health and healing
She loves protecting and supporting mother nature
She loves community, connection

She is more than one thing
Hello my lovely,
So its been a wild stormy day in the North East of Scotland which meant I never to a huge amount of time for my nature fix. But what I did get was the lovely opportunity to connect in with some writing, Christmas movie watching with my daughter, cooking and some natural cleaning.
It got me thinking about how much I loved to share in the past the changes I was making at home to live a cleaner less toxic life. I guess I now do all these things without thinking anymore but thought maybe you might like a little super simple, cleaning tip to help reduce the toxins in your home and support living a healthier life.
I had noticed some black marks on my washing machine door and detergent compartment and also black marks on my diffusers. You really do not want mould and yucky build up spreading into your home. Especially if you are then diffusing it into the air.
You maybe...
She gave all she could
She gave love to those who felt unloveable
She gave hugs to those who lacked connection
She gave support to those who felt weak
She gave positivity to those who felt low
She held their hands as they navigated fear
She listened to those who felt unheard
She gave hope to those who felt helpless
Then came life
It swept in and chipped at her soul
Challenge after challenge, it eroded her edge
She began to fade
The energy she lovingly gave was gone
The positivity she shared diminished
Fragments of her soul blew away on the wind
She closed her weary eyes, her ancestors and guides appeared
They stroked her, wrapped her in blankets and fed her soup
They rubbed her feet and hugged her
They gently held her hand as she walked
They showed her, her beauty and filled her soul
Piece by piece they put her back together
A different and beautiful masterpiece
Only then did she realise she was enough
She was loved
She is love
All is Well
She sits and stares, her heart heavy waiting for tears.
No reason why, just ready to release
She doesn’t run, she sits
She feels, she allows
She breathes, they arrive, they fall down her cheeks.
She doesn’t question or figure out.
She simply breathes.
All is well, all is happening as it should.

Take a Breath my Love, Sip Your Tea by Susi McWiliam
Take a breath my love, sip your tea,
Allow yourself space to process,
Allow yourself space to rest,
Do you know that you are a miracle
An infinite spark
Lets pause and reflect on that a moment
For you are majestic, bright and wonderful
So take a breath my love, smile and sip your tea
Life is softening
What if you wake and move gently into your day
Give up the harsh struggle and pain
You are being offered another way
Life is softening
What if you place your hands over your womb and give thanks to this space of creation. Give thanks to your parents, elders, ancestors and self
Life is softening
What if instead of illness, dis-ease, and uncomfortable sensations. You chose I am healing, I am growing, my health improves daily.
Life is softening
What if instead of fighting, hustling, pushing. You could rest, explore with curiosity, seek support and solutions.
Life is softening.
What if the support you’re seeking is right beneath your feet from Mother Earth herself. What if the beauty you’re seeking is right above you in father sky. What if the thoughts you are desiring can be changed. Ask and you shall receive.
Life is softening
Release, release, trust and have faith
Because life is softening
No one has the right to know your business
No one has to like you
No one will know how you feel
No one will understand how your mind works
No one will see the same beauty you see
No one will feel the same pain you feel
No one will laugh the way you laugh
No one will sing the way you sing
No one will live the same life as you
No one will ever love the way you love
Remember no one will ever be you
Someone, you are someone
I had a revelation today. I am currently working through Julia Cameron’s, The Artists Way, morning pages and it's bloody challenging writing everyday in this way. But every day once you get the petulant, child out of the way i.e this is hard, there’s so many others things i could be doing, why did I decide to do this, I could just stop etc etc , there is always a nugget of something appears, a poem, an inspired thought, an alignment to who you truly are.
I am a hugely sensitive and emotional person and during this period of ill health I have really felt a little lost, overwhelmed by my symptoms, emotions and pain. But what I have come to realise and always do when healing is that it is all necessary.
There have been many times where all I have wanted to do is sit under the trees, reiki the earth, or just be close to nature. This is when I feel most myself. Truly me. There is also the business me, the money maker, the marketer, the supporter, the always...
