THE MAGIC OF THE MOON

phases10-5x3w

Last year I received a pendant from a close friend, given at a time when all was feeling very foreign and new and, dare I say, intimidating. It was a stunning piece by ANON.379, of a waxing crescent moon. Representing radical new changes, setting intentions and harnessing all that momentum – this pendant has seen […]

WORDS THAT MAKE YOU TINGLE

qlahq1d4hggl4urdtncqbrxwula6270riwlr1nqbglwivqnu72gq6h4b9x2k7h3y-f

I’m a little bit (read: a lotta bit) obsessed with the words and works of other writers right now. (And yep, that’s right. I said ‘other writers’ … totally owning my identity as a fully-fledged word nerd and calling myself a ‘writer’ these days. Don’t hate.) At a bookstore in Bali, on a recent holiday, I […]

NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK – THE ACAI EDITION

img_0010

It seems all too fitting that I back up the latest post (all about trusting the universe and lifting your vibe to find your tribe) that I share with you today’s post. It should be a simple review post – talking about what I ate, where I ate it and how good or shiz it […]

REMOVING THE HUSTLE

We have all been told, at one time in our lives, that ‘it’ll happen when you least expect it’. When we are hell bent on finding the perfect job, the perfect relationship, the perfect home … we tend to abandon the concept of ease and instead grasp, grovel and strain. We disregard what we know […]

A Word on Happiness

1d63dead36ae6cda0bdbd2b12a676b93

happiness /hapɪnəs/ noun the state of being happy Happiness – a pretty elusive term. How is it possible for a nine letter sequence to succinctly capture all that ‘happiness’ encapsulates, inspires and yields. It just can’t. And the beauty of its concept is that it’s totally independent and individual to each and every one of us. […]

THE INSPIRED AND ALIVE AF EDITION – MY PRAYER

12728607_1009393082452033_1956602373_n

I find that the times when I throw myself into new projects and writing ventures (some pretty epic collaborations are unfolding, so stay toooooned my loves), I inadvertently wind up ignoring this little nook. My bad. I’ve always promised that I refuse to write unless inspired to do so, I never want it to feel forced […]

MY SOUL RETREATED (+ I DIDN’T EVEN KNOW IT NEEDED TO)

everyday-happy-life-quote-Favim.com-523397

So, somehow, in the craziness of the past month, I have ignored this poor little bloggy platform in favour of getting swept away in the hefty tides and currents of day to day life. I make no apologies, it’s just the way it goes, but I have missed you and I hope that your lives […]

28 Lessons over 28 Years

il_340x270-812673151_fe3y

On Tuesday it will be twenty eight years since this soul o’ mine first found itself earth side. And, I don’t know if this is a bias opinion, but I think I’ve packed in a fair bit of life and living over those 28 years and in doing so have uncovered treasures and lessons galore. […]

MAN, I FEEL LIKE A WOMAN

tumblr_static_tumblr_static_3h0cwtzbto4kw8w4owkc0o88w_640

I’ve become a little obsessed with the concept of balance; of uncovering the middle ground within the tug of war of our energies. Trying to find my place in the middle of push and pull; in the middle of directive and lost; in the middle of being and doing; in the middle of hard and soft; […]

CELEBRATING FAILURES

How quick are we to dismiss that which we don’t do well at or have even, God forbid, ‘failed at’? Imagine this scenario – you bump into an old friend whom you haven’t seen you in ages and they ask you how ‘x’ is going. ‘X’ could be a relationship, a business venture, job opportunity, […]
