THE ART OF SELF JOURNAL

I recall sitting in the bedroom breastfeeding my newborn baby boy early one morning, He had the most kind, gentle eyes – it was the first thing I noticed about him after his birth, after the doctors had managed to get him breathing for the first time. There was something about this little guy that saw me really feel the shifts within myself. I had experienced many shifts in my life prior to this, sure, but I’d never truly felt them until he was in my arms. They were more int

No one else knows you better than you know yourself...so please, start listening to you and what you want or need in any given moment. Everyone is having their say, Letting you know what they think is best for people, for the world at this time...gosh even me. And I think it's great, people sharing their way. Many will get to think and see a different view and then decide on what works best for them. You will hear Use this time to create You will hear Use this time to buil

A good part of growth starts with a little (or a lot of) frustration... Frustration in where you're at right now, Frustration in enough is enough, Frustration in I'm done being who I'm being, Frustration in I'm done doing what I'm doing, Frustration in being in one place for too long, You get the point...so there's nothing wrong with frustration at all... But be sure to use it to your advantage. It's your silent kick up the butt, It's your sign that it's time to make a move,

TRUST + BELIEF + PATIENCE It's all ya need to do.... Trust in the process of life...your life. Belief or faith, which ever way you choose to look at it...in yourself and what will be true for you...because it's what you want. And Patience...oh patience, so important in life...taking it all as it comes, when it comes and to not try and rush any part of the process...(which also doesn't mean to do nothing) If you continue to rush along in life, expecting it all to be as it sh

Communication is key in life and even more so right now. Communicating how you're feeling, how things are going with you, what you need is vital to feeling good within yourself. And knowing that what you want or need, isn't always what others in your bubble want or need. Communicating with them, asking them what they all need is important. Not only will it give you some understanding, but it will also help you connect better or find ways to connect better. We all may be nee

YOUR TRUTH IS ABOUT TO BE SHOWN TO YOU... In a number of ways.... It's been so easy to hide, push things away, run away and ignore certain things or people at times. It's been so easy to distract it all with work, get togethers, even as simple as hoping in the car and going for a drive. Or saying you don't have the time. But now, none of that is possible and you have oodles of time. I actually see this as a good thing.... If anything, I want everyone to become aware of thei

And here we are, in lockdown. Who would have thought aye, a month ago, things would come to this. It's for the best to adjust our lives for a month to help save other lives. And as the new saying out there goes... 'We are all in this together' I was looking forward to the photoshoots I had booked in for this week, but I look forward to the day we get to reschedule. Right now we can all be grateful for many things. Grateful for the internet where we can still communicate. G

Growing up in a small rural community, Everyone knew each other, Everyone looked out for each other, Everyone helped each other. Haha and yes, most knew everyone’s business. When things got tough, your community was there - they stepped up, always. Even though a small township, and the smallest of main streets, it can often take some time to walk it, due to stopping a number of times to chat with all those you know. Although I haven’t lived in my home town for 19 years now,

Oh wow, what a week it's been ha, for a lot of people. This week has shown me a lot about attachment, and the difference between having or not having attachment to something. When we are so attached to a certain thing, be it a person, situation, experience, work, even an idea and the direction changes course in a way we hadn't planned on, it can be challenging in those times to see another option. All sorts of emotions can surface, behaviours can change and we can easily poi
