Summer Manifesto
This summer I feel I’m reconnecting to something I’ve been seeking for sometime. This year it feels different, perhaps my daughter being a year older, perhaps it’s the work I’m doing and the life I’m building. I’m into my new rhythm and I’m making progress.

June Simple Pleasures
Cultivating a more intentional life can start by noticing the small simple pleasures and simple moments of our everyday lives. The simple things, the gentle moments of our day connecting to our senses, and the glimmers can blend together and help create a sense of joy unique to our own lives. One persons simple pleasure may be different to next person, the different phases of our lives, our passions and interests and the environment we live in all play a role.

May Simple Pleasures
Simple pleasures for me are the simple things, the glimmers, and the gentle moments of connection with nature which can help us to elevate how we experience life everyday. When we start to notice more of the small things which feel joyful in our day to day they can start to add together to create a feeling which tops us up, helps cultivate more intentionality in life and support our wellness and joy.

Spring Manifesto
Spring is a season which I feel deep resonance with and really enjoy. Creating a sense of intention around this season feels particularly meaningful for me this year. It’s the first Spring in my business and it feels like this is the time to start really creating the roots and early shoots to establish the new things I’m planting.

The magic of a foggy morning
This week I felt a deep appreciation for the fog. It’s the first week of February and we have been immersed in a cloud of fog for much of the morning. We don’t get a lot of it in the city where I live, so when it arrives it feels a rare moment to savour.
