thoughts from me to you
Smaller
I live in a smaller world than I did. My world full of travel and culture and freedom has shrunk to the same four walls and routine. I'm one of the lucky ones. I'm healthy. I live with space and family and am surrounded by beauty. I am grateful that I get to work and...
Lessons in love
I had a spiritual counselling session yesterday. Sometimes you just need a little extra self care. She asked me, if you were to make a prayer from this situation, what would it be? I said, I would pray for the courage to be vulnerable and open hearted. I would pray...
Keeping score
What if you didn't have to keep score? If you've ever sat and thought, 'I'm not doing it anymore. I'm not going to keep giving and giving and trying and trying when this person isn't making half as much effort as me', this is for you. For a moment, entertain the...
How can I offer you peace?
How can I offer you peace? I've been revisiting healed relationships from A Course in Miracles recently and one of the commentaries I read suggested that the idea of forgiveness, of letting go of our expectations of others, involves choosing to offer others peace...
Find your heart
Find your heart. Keep it always in your sight. Dig into the part of you that gives you meaning. Find it and love it. Remind yourself everyday of your worth. Fill your life with people who know it. Know that this is the part of you which makes you light up. Start...
Letting go
Want to know what happens when you let those painful emotions out? What happens when you give in to the fight within yourself to keep them under wraps and out of sight? The world does not end. You do not fall apart. You feel them, you release them, and you stop...

Getting through
Just wanted to acknowledge all the people who are 'getting through' life right now. The people who's plans have disappeared, who are grieving, who are just about hanging in there, hoping for something to hold on to soon, to those who have seen the worst of humanity,...
Soul or ego?
Are you seeing the soul, or the ego?
Whenever we feel judged by someone, it’s either a mirror for us, or fear coming up for them. I realised today that sometimes I’m interacting with a person’s ego, rather than their soul.
Whenever an interaction doesn’t feel good for you, train yourself to check in – is your ego talking, or your soul? Are you responding to the needs of their ego, or to their soul’s?
Souls want love and peace and happiness for everyone. Egos are selfish and scared and defensive.
Souls see that we are all connected and can unite in love. Egos see themselves as separate and alone.
Souls want to bring us together. Egos want to keep us apart.
Souls are compassionate. Egos only see what they think will serve them.
Shift your focus. Look for the soul. When you interact from a soul level, that connection will give you the moments of happiness, love and completeness your ego craves but doesn’t know how to get
