A sad feeling creeping up from my stomach; the seat of so many emotions. A palpable yet elusive sense that something is amiss and off-centre. And when I look more closely it’s made up of a cocktail of anxiety, sadness, fear maybe a bit of disappointment splashed in. All the uncertainties around my work situation,…
Have just returned from a trip to Athens where I was steeped in history and have been reflecting on the importance of the past in relation to the present and the future. What better time to do so than the moment you are standing with both feet firmly in a brand new year full of…
This hasn’t been an easy year by any stretch of the imagination. As I lay curled up in bed with the flu, I am finally listening to my body. My body is saying, ‘Stop, no more!’ and I am finally listening. If you told me of a woman who teaches 6 hours a day in…
I remember how my first counsellor tried to gently show me how so much of my life had been dedicated to pushing myself really hard to be perfect. To work hard, get the best grades, grab all the opportunities that came along, push to be better and better. She implied that I was pushing so…
Am at home this week for the start of the school holidays and I feel like I have returned home to myself. It’s been a crazy few weeks with huge challenges both at work and home and at times it felt like there was no respite. But today, the quiet outside and inside , like…

My beautiful little girl. You can trust and depend on me always. I hear you and I see you. It’s been a very difficult few days but I am here, holding your hand. Fanning those flames. I wrap you tightly in Ma’s orange and brown shawl. The one she always wore around the house to…
I woke up this morning to a world blanketed in snow. The cars and pathways looked like a baker in the sky had sprinkled icing sugar on everything, even the rubbish bins looked beautiful. The layer of snow muffled the everyday noises. Weather likes this makes me turn inward. I found so much there today.…
Have been reading a great book by Eckhart Tolle called, ‘The Power of Now”. It talks about staying in the present moment no matter how uncomfortable, to avoid a mind fixated on the past or the promise of a happier future. I am finding it hard to stay in the moment right now. It’s hard…
Just because I’m smiling doesn’t mean I am not hurting inside Just because I’m quiet doesn’t mean I have nothing to say Just because I’m soft spoken doesn’t mean I can’t roar with the fierceness of lions Just because I’m coping doesn’t mean I don’t need help sometimes Just because I’ve done brave things doesn’t…
