This morning I feel unsettled and I don’t even know why. I sense tension in my body and worries in my mind; which are both natural due to my current circumstance and also pointless because I have no control over the circumstance. Trying to rewire your brain and learn new thinking patterns is very difficult…

Be Kind. Words that I utter to myself and try to encourage around me, but recently I was reflecting on what it actually means to be kind and I realised that I can’t seem to find the words to express it. Whenever I think of kindness, I can only sense a feeling of peace, joy…

I have realised this year that I would like to be more connected to nature, but I also recognise that I need to take baby steps because I’ve been brought up in cotton wool! So camping in nature and immersing myself into it (particularly in the Australian outback) is way too extreme of a change…

I keep coming back to the question of “Who am I?” and each time I do, the response is different; it is unclear, unfinished and or foreign. But this morning, I asked that question again in the middle of prayer and the answer was different to all other times. This time the answer was clear,…

What matters most to us? What is it that we work towards every day and through everything? I haven’t lived a very deliberate life, I have mainly gone with the flow of whatever has presented itself to me. I made an assumption that going with the flow will keep me open to opportunities and help…

Worries start with one thought, the more you identify with that thought and give it space, the more it will grow until you are consumed by it. Battling your worries is not an easy thing to do, it takes a lot of practice and a lot of defeat. But this is exactly why cultivating self-compassion…

A few weeks ago I came across an online philosophy course by accident and decided to join in and see what it was all about. I didn’t expect much but I truly appreciate these one hour weekly classes now. They have become such a great source of reflection and wonder, but most importantly, they have…

I don’t like the feeling of uncertainty, who does? But then again, I don’t like it because I’ve always associated it with some form of threat. As I sit here pondering about what uncertainty actually is, I realise that it is the most beautiful attribute of life. It gives us so many gifts and allows…

This is dedicated to a loved one, you know who you are. Where did you come from? Where did you come from? Were you at the farm, under the sun? Where were you all these years? When I dreamt of hot summer days in your arms. Wondering if you were out there, thinking of me.…
