THE ART OF SELF JOURNAL

What are you willing to risk? What are you willing to put on the line? Are you willing to risk loosing yourself in order to keep that relationship, job, friendship, a life that looks good to the outside world? Because that seems easier, less confronting or confrontational, looking less like a failure. Or are you willing to risk it all, in order to bring your true self to the surface. My hope, is that you choose you and risk it all. Why? Because if you sit in the space of

Pause, but don't put the breaks on. It's easy to be in such a rush with many things in life, Our minds can rush to all that we wish we could have, Thinking of all the things we could be and should be doing, Seeing others moving forward in areas we wish to. And when it comes to us to move ourselves forward with something, Our minds are rushing, but we put the breaks on, on our own actions, which sees us blocking our own growth. However, when we wish for something from others

You know it. You know all you need to know in this very moment of time. Stop thinking and believing that you don't know. Like when you read a page from a book, It's familiar to you, Because you already know it. Or when someone speaks their advice, And you know it to be true, It's because you really do know it to be true. Or when you get that feeling about something that feels so right, So fitting for you, It's because deep down you know. Nothing is new, not really. You kn

Do you know what scares the hell out of me.... Expressing myself through movement, through dance in front of other people. Allowing myself to be seen, fully seen. Haha I can happily pose for a photograph in next to nothing, but dancing, for me takes things to another space for me. To open myself up like a peacock opens up it's feathers. This is why I started dancing, This was my reason, one of my reasons anyway. To push myself into a space that scares me, because if I didn't,

Those moments when you find yourself saying again to someone "You didn't do xyz for me" "You didn't do what I asked you to do" "You don't listen to me" With the frustration you feel inside, you find it hard to really understand why they do this...to you. Well, it's not really about them not emptying the rubbish bin again, not really. It's more you haven't emptied YOUR rubbish bin. Your internal rubbish bin that holds all your unhealed pain, resentment, blame, shame in. And

I didn't plan to leave my marriage...it just came to an end. Because I changed and we were no longer a fit. This can be one of the most scariest things in the moment you realise you want more for yourself. That there is this feeling inside of you that you know just really isn't you, anymore. This part of you, who you have been, for so long...no longer feels right anymore, no longer feels like you, like the you, you wish to be anymore. There's this part of you that feels like

The best parts of a person are always missed when it's all shut down. Shut down from speaking the words on their heart, Shut down from being free to express themselves through movement, laughter, their quirky characteristics, Shut down from actually choosing what they wish for, Feeling trapped within their own bodies, Plugged up so tight that you can sense the rumble occurring deep down inside, Like a slow ticking bomb....tick, tick, tick waiting to go off. I see and hear of

Just because you're a mum, a wife, a business woman, Whatever hats you wear in your life, It doesn't mean to say, you have to step away from who you are, And who you have always been inside. It doesn't mean you have to stop playing, Stop being and feeling sexy, Stop laughing and having fun, Stop being a little wild every now and then. We did that to ourselves, We allowed ourselves to be dulled down, We allowed the roles that we play in life to create a greyer version of our

The best decisions for yourself, aren't always the easiest to make. Yet once you decide, it gives you the space to move into what you truly wish for. So with that being said... Stepping more into my truth, meant really listening to what was coming through for me. I sat with it for a while and now I'm ready to share. I'M QUITTING PHOTOGRAPHY! This means I'm no longer available for portrait session appointments after the 30th July 2021. Photography will still be a part of m
