Begin well. End well. Part 2
Many of us are hoping that 2023 will be a much better year. We all had losses, frustrations, let downs and suffered to varying degrees last year. And for some of us this lingers… The struggle, the search for understanding and meaning given our difficulties is essential…
Begin well. End well. Part 1
Life as we know it has 2 bookends…birth and death. A beginning and an end. And such is life. This is a fact. It doesn’t need to be or to feel depressing but maybe it is or it does?…
Be gentle with yourself
Each one of us has our strengths. Each one of us has ways we can and need to grow and change. Each one of us is perfectly imperfect. We have seasons…
Self awareness
Self awareness is the ability to tune into our thoughts, feelings and behaviour. Knowing what we are thinking…usually something unhelpful or untrue…
Relationships come with attachments
We are wired to love and be loved but life gets in the way and sometimes it all feels too hard. If only we could be more at ease and open with one another. If only we were more consciously aware of our vulnerabilities and our defaults…
Satisfied?
What satisfies us? A delicious, flavoursome meal? A refreshing, cool glass of water? A coffee meet up with a friend?…
Life review
Are we on track and working toward a goal? Can we identify things about last year or past years that we want to change? Let’s consider…reviewing our lives. This is our Life Review!…
Summer is here...
What a year! What a relief to have some warmer weather and to enjoy being out of doors :) We have tried to keep one another safe…to survive!…
Spring is in the air...and so is hay fever ;)
Literally…spring is in the air and Hayfever symptoms are unfortunately back for some of us too. We literally need to try to appreciate, the good with the bad…
R U OK? DAY
Are U OK? How can we be ok when we are in lockdown? Today is officially R U OK Day, 9 September, 2021. Today and every day we are encouraged to ask this question of ourselves and of others...
Help yourself
We used to have more freedom. We could choose a lot of things. Who we want to be with, when and where we want to be…
Change fatigue
It is normal to feel out of whack and weary given the strangeness of our present existence. A couple of years ago we would never have imagined experiencing a lockdown. We had no reason to expect it nor would we have chosen it as our preferred way of being…
Lockdown blues
Feeling a bit meh…a bit flat? We are too!! Lockdown #4 has affected us all. Lockdowns are really difficult and they can be really tough on folk…

Most people tend to talk about what’s not working for them. This can stem from a crisis mindset. Let’s face it, the world is unpredictable and people can be complicated and we really don’t have much control over the way many things pan out…
Feeling ok?
Post lockdown most of us seem to have picked up pace, in that we are moving around more…especially outside, we are socialising more…in person, we are travelling more…further afield, we are experiencing a flurry of activity, which includes sound, smell, sight, touch and tastes. And it’s wonderful most of the time but it can also be stress inducing…
New Year = New Intent
What do we want this year to include? How do we want this year to unfold? Do we wait for things to come our way…NO!…
Mental Break
As 2020, the stormiest, strangest year winds up, we’re looking forward to a break from work, a break from the alarm, a break from routine, a break from the traffic, a break from our suburban living, a break from the stress of life, a break from anything necessary to earn a buck and a break from catastrophe and confusion…
Thanks Victoria
What sacrifice, what grief and loss, what trying and restrictive limits have we endured…leaving us so very tired…
