If it doesn’t open, it’s not your door.

August 15, 2018

It’s early one August weekday morning. The sky is sunny and clear, the roads are quiet, still too early for the daily hustle to have begun. A 17-year-old me who’s barely slept the night before with nervous anticipation, quietly leaves her home to begin the journey towards the postal sorting office to intercept my coveted letter before it’s sent off on delivery. It’s leaving cert results day. The day I’d mentally rehearsed and fantastised about for so long, ...

You are the Universe

July 29, 2018

The greatest tragedy of life is that so many of us show up as half versions of ourselves, too fearful to let the fullness of our truth and our magnificence shine. From so, so early on in our lives, we’re taught to put our focus *out there*. To seek validation and approval, to show up in a way ...

Be an encourager.

June 1, 2018

I was in the final kilometre of my walk today and decided I’d run the last stretch. I could see a man up ahead walking towards me and as we got closer he began to clap and cheer me on “wohoo, you can do it, you can do it, yeaaaah!!” Just me and this happy, brilliant, ...

Unhooking from our thoughts.

May 24, 2018

It’s not the fact that we have minds that produce a lot of thoughts (oh hi 60,000 – 80,000 thoughts a day) that’s the problem itself, but more that we believe them. We attach to them, get caught up in them and ultimately identify with them. Learning to step back and ...

The miracle of now….

May 8, 2018

“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is.” ~Albert Einstein These photos are as clear a visual as I can think of to illustrate how much we awaken to when we become present in our lives. My garden the other day, ...

Acceptance.

April 21, 2018

To be on any kind of path of transformation, personal growth, healing or spiritual awakening, inevitably involves acceptance of all the dark, murky stuff that we straight up don’t like; the things we have a hard time facing. Acceptance is so counter intuitive – I mean, why would we ...

Just this breath…

March 7, 2018

The lads were playing with elastic bands this morning, and at one point Joss managed to give himself a solid whack on the hand – his little skin marked straight away, all purple and blue, looked pretty sore! Anyway, I was braced for the tears that never came. Something wonderful happened ...

Interrupt me one more time…

March 5, 2018

If you asked me the hardest thing about parenting….I’m mean, pull up a chair. I’m not sure I’d even know where to start. But I have noticed in my 5.5 years of Mamahood, one of the things I struggle most with and feel rawly triggered by is being constantly interrupted. I ...

Numbing pain.

February 17, 2018

This is what’s left of a bar of a sizeable bar of chocolate. I devoured it like a primal Neanderthal, honestly, it didn’t stand a chance. I didn’t savour the bites or notice much about the experience at all because it wasn’t about eating, it was about self-soothing. ...
