It's mid-2020 - and what a start of a decade.

I believe that life is always working for us and that there is a lesson in every trial and tribulation. 

The gift of the lesson is, and always will be - choosing Love. 

Love is truly the most potent and energetic creative force in the universe. 

We're either only ever motivated by Fear, or motivated by Love. 

Our children are our mirrors. If ever we want to know whether our life is guided by Fear or Love - observe our relationship with our childre...

Is your heart feeling heavy right now?

I would love to share a perspective if your heart is feeling heavy. 

It's easy to wear the burdens of the world on our shoulders - and then we may turn to guilt or shame. Guilt that we're not doing enough and want to do more; shame because we feel that there is something wrong with us not being able to "fix this". 

There may even be an experience of feeling scared about the world that we're bringing our children up.

Or maybe you're a few years into this gig of parenthood, and it's like groundhog day. Why aren't you enjoying it more?! Sure there are glimpses where your heart is so full, and you wonder, why isn...

"I'm so scared to have children. I feel that I'm too selfish and not ready to give up everything so I can have children. How did you do it?".

That was a real question!... 

"What makes you think that you have to give everything up?" I asked.

"Everyone around me says it's all about the children when you become a parent. They say they never have time for themselves..and I feel that they don't really enjoy life.".

The model of self-sacrifice in Motherhood doesn't work. It's a common model - and ...

Sunday is Mother's Day in Australia. I'm all for celebrating!

For a moment, imagine how you would feel about yourself if you celebrated yourself every day? What kind of ripple effect would that have?

Although, Mother's Day is predominantly about your partner/ spouse and children celebrating and acknowledging you. I invite you to take a moment, grab a journal and cup of tea; and with the same amount of care and thought that you would put into a gift for your child; write down what you love about ...
