Pure Love

My time with both these men has been the most incredible experience of love and open relating that I have always dreamed was possible, but NOW I KNOW it is possible, as I’ve experienced it. Getting home to Haylen, crying together because we missed each other, talking, being intimate. What an amazing man. He hadContinue reading “Pure Love”

Daintree Love

Thank you Daintree and all my loves. I cried with grief to leave, yet my life is amazing everywhere I go! Even so, the Daintree is like this ever seductive lover that when I’m immersed in her, I never want to leave. And my Daintree family always has such a special place in my heart.Continue reading “Daintree Love”

Love Is…

Wow. Love Is. What a nourishing day with a beautiful community. I’m so deeply grateful for everyone who showed up, shared, supported, collaborated, softened, stretched, danced, and opened their hearts. You made the day what it was, thank you! The perfectionist in me that prefers to do nothing rather than risk not getting things perfectContinue reading “Love Is…”

Self inquiry

Welcome to this new day in this paradoxical human experience, separate yet together. Today, I celebrate being imperfect. What are you celebrating? Yesterday, I really saw how uncomfortable I am with being imperfect. Today, I feel free and empowered to be imperfect. Yesterday, I also saw how much I believe the stories I tell myself,Continue reading “Self inquiry”

In this now, everything is possible

Thank you to life for giving me another another day! Today was/ is magickal. All alone. I am the only one home tonight for the second night in a row. This is rare since I had my first baby almost 22 years ago. I had fun in my own company. I practised driving all throughContinue reading “In this now, everything is possible”

The transformational power of event organisation

I was in a leadership program for my personal transformation where the coaching is based around running a community project. This is how “Where Does Love Come From?” which has evolved into “Love Is…” was born. At the time, I didn’t realise that the version of myself back then wouldn’t be able to organise thisContinue reading “The transformational power of event organisation”

Commitments to myself

Hi beautifuls! Today has been super introspective and a bit challenging at times, but I dug deep and found the treasures. Here are my takeaways. Maybe they will benefit somebody else 🙏🏽 *Committing to transforming my self-talk from disempowered to empowered. Acknowledging the discord in the world reminds me that we’re all responsible for ourContinue reading “Commitments to myself”

Asking questions until the mind stops

Hi beautiful people, how are you? One of the reasons I’m so passionate about supporting all of us in anchoring in the love from within is because I’ve spent so much of my life looking outside of myself for love and being deeply attached to things outside of myself. How can we love something thatContinue reading “Asking questions until the mind stops”

Get out of the way and be Love

There’s a lot of talk about love lately. A lot of questions. Attempting to define the undefinable. It’s not to really find answers but to question what we think we know. I find what I think I know gets in the way of love. These two are some of my biggest teachers at the moment.Continue reading “Get out of the way and be Love”

Transform not “fix”

When you’re in your sh*t, do you forget to ask life for help? Do you try to “fix” it, rather than transforming it? Me too! Given there are conversations around contrast then clarity, contraction then expansion, breakdown then breakthrough…. seems like this is just part of being human. Yesterday, I was driving, observing old subconsciousContinue reading “Transform not “fix””
