All there is is this moment....Within this moment, all there is is love... I am really nervous about sharing this post. I think it’s because I am feeling really vulnerable and very raw about the experience so far. But, here goes…. So the “story” of my life has gotten a little more confusing / complicated in the past week… After the year that was 2015, with so many life changes, so many endings, I felt like 2016 was going to be my year! I started the year feeling free, peaceful, … [Read more...]
My happy place!!

The Messiness of life – Love and loss….
The Messiness of life....Love and loss Just over six years ago, I attended my very first vipassana meditation retreat. You know, the silent meditation retreat? Yes, 10 days of pure silence, no talking. So many people in my life laughed and said there is no way you can be silent for 10 days! Whilst mentally challenged by the idea, something drew me to it. That 10 days was transformational in so many ways. I didn’t talk for the 10 days and actually found it liberating! When it came to … [Read more...]
