THE ART OF SELF JOURNAL

Let's get something a little clear here. Working on your mindset, your inner being, your spiritually, your emotional being, your physical being...all that jazz....isn't all that serious and no fun, which I know many people think it is. It isn't all floaty, float through the air, all zen and yoga sessions at sunrise (ok it is for some people and that's totally cool), speak a certain way, use the right words, around the right way or you may attract something you don't want....b

All that you want to improve on in yourself & in your life, Is a daily practice. Parenting takes daily practice, Focusing on your goals takes daily practice, Exercising takes daily practice, Strengthening relationships take daily practice... Anything that you want to improve on, is simply a daily practice. The more you do it, The more it will become second nature to you. You choose whether you want to do that daily practice or not. You choose how important it is to you, to do

One Summers day in 2013, I was having one of those days, I was feeling lost, unsure of where I was heading really with my business, my purpose in life and I said to my husband at the time, 'I need to go fishing' (The way a man can understand 'I need time out') So I took a pen & paper and headed to the beach where I sat for a few hours asking 'What the hell do I really want to do with my life'. As I sat with that question, I found myself really tuning into myself and then I wr

The 'F Words' that had to come out of my mouth today... Today I've being feeling that vibe of energy, The joy of feeling good, I'm smiling, today was a good. Today I felt like I included so many things I love. Today I got to see a client, her portraits were beautiful. I got my house cleaned as a birthday gift to myself to get ready for my party (I hate cleaning with a passion, but it's gotta be done) Lunch was enjoyed with my Mum. I brought a new outfit for my 40th that I lov

They say to surround yourself with people who uplift you, who inspire you, who leave you feeling better than they found you. And I would have to 100% agree. Sometimes it takes a while to find those people, the ones you gel with, the ones who you can really connect with. Well how about being apart of creating those humans you love being around...like your children. Speaking to them in ways that inspire, encourage, question, feel. Allowing them the space to express themselves,

Every year on my birthday I use that day to reflect on the year that has been and gone as well as look at what I want the next year ahead to look and feel like. I'm not one for waiting for the New Year to come around to do this, that has never felt right for me. Yet my birthday, that for me is the best day for reflection. Last Thursday I turned 40! Ha seeing that number throws me sometimes, I really don't feel 40 at all, Sometimes I think when am I going to grow up, yet the o

Over the last couple of months I have cried more than I would like to admit. I've been going through some big shifts lately as you may know. I've been letting some big things go, such as the idea of how I've always seen my photography business, and for the idea of it all to change simply because I am clear of what I truly deeply want to do with my work now...it's still been really hard to let go of what I thought would play out. Some may say, it's just photography, but the t

I posted this is my group the other day and it created some great conversations with a few people....so thought I’d share it here also. Many took something different from it and that’s what I love about sharing, you get to have your own perspective on things. How you see, read or speak about something and what you take from it can be so different to the next person and that’s so cool. Just like a piece of art...many see and feel something different. LOVE IS ALL YOU NEED! Late

A few of years back I had been following a lady on social media, I really enjoyed most of what she was posting, however I remember when she started to share videos and really stepping outside of the box (who's box, hers yes, but also mine in what I expected of her) and I remember thinking, what on earth, why, why is she sharing such things and I stopped following her, I no longer gelled with her. Thing is, she was growing, stretching herself, and I wasn't and I was being tri
