THE ART OF SELF JOURNAL

Everyone has to be ready and willing to make adjustments and changes in their own lives, when and if they are ready and willing to take that journey. This has been a hard lesson for me to learn, because I see so much potential in many people that I just wish for them to see it for themselves. I wish for them to be all of who they are, to let it all out, because I know and trust that if and when they do, it can and will change so much for them. When someone asks me something

We're always trying to fill every space in our lives...to leave no space unfilled. We believe that every part of ourselves, our world, must be used. Our time, Our energy, Our spaces, Our words. We fill the silence with words, We fill our loneliness with people, We fill our spaces with things we hardly touch or use, We fill our time with unimportant doing, And everything seems to become an urgency, Yet at the same time, we also see very little as urgent. Sounds contradictory

Do you ever just want to throw your hands in the air and say 'F*#% it all' And just start doing everything and anything that you're so called to do? With no thought of what the outcome will be, With no care of what others think of you, But yet in every way staying in integrity with yourself, with others & with life. Do you ever have that burning, bubbling sensation inside of you that is just bursting to come out. And that in those little moments when you let a little slice o

I'M NOT WHO YOU THINK I AM... AND YOU'RE NOT WHO I THINK YOU ARE! I see you, I see what I see, I feel what I feel and I make up my mind on who I think you are in that moment. Yet I know there is so much more to you that's not visible to me, that I've not yet experienced of you. I get curious about who you are and I stay curious until or if the time & space allows me to know more. I'd love to know more about you, where you've been, what experiences you've had, what makes you

There's a belief I've held onto for so long...it's softened over time, some days I don't notice it, yet other days it sneaks back in. In the days I get all up in my head it comes back to me, until I ask it to leave again. That belief 'I CAN DO IT MYSELF' When I look at this belief, it doesn't support me most of the time, This belief was one I've held on to since way back as a way of proving myself to people, Yet I know now, I need not prove myself to anyone. And even though

I cleaned out my pantry today...haha exciting stuff, well overdue. We've been living in this home for a year this week and this is the first time ekkk that I've cleaned it out. It was on my mind for so long, but I kept putting it off. I was dodging it like no other. The kitchen is not my area of expertise...those who know me well, know I hate being in the kitchen, but mum duties call often so it's a place I find myself more than I'd wish to be. Anyway, my son helped me out.

Today I made a dedication to myself. It's actually something I'm not going to share...it is just for me, myself and I. But by writing a dedication to myself it made some things very clear on some actions I had to take and are willing to take moving forward. The dedication I made to myself was a big one, which actually scares the living daylights out of me if I'm completely honest. A good part of me knows I have it in me to follow through with it, but there is a part of me th

I don’t like my legs Mum, I wish I had straight hair like my friend Mum, Why does my voice sound like this Mum, I wish I looked different Mum, I feel like I need to act a certain way Mum, I can’t wear that, they might laugh Mum. What would you say to your child if they came to you with these statements? I’m guessing you would reassure them, Tell them they are wrong, and that they are perfect just as they are. That their legs are strong, That they suit their curly hair, That

Ha, you should know me by now...well a little anyway, haha there are many things I actually don't share with you, however when something comes through me, and it's strong, not just a slight tickle, but more like a good shove, that's my cue to share. And with many private messages I receive on this topic, I know there are people who need to hear this right now. So back to it.... He didn't choose me. There was this guy, he was all sorts of deliciousness haha. He had a way and
