You’re not too much. Just be yourself.
Flowers don’t care how much they are. They bloom so hard their beauty succumbs to the weight and their stalks wilt, but they still bloom.
You are a perfect match for everyone you come into contact with. Some will stay. Some will go. Some will be triggered. Some will be enchanted.
It’s not your business to judge nor censor yourself to fit what you believe they need or can accommodate. You were brought into each others’ lives for a reason.
Be yourself

She realised that what she desired, what she had felt was missing these last few weeks, was control. She had chosen to dis-empower herself, to choose the path of others, and wait to see what might happen. She made herself a victim of her circumstances. A stander-by in the play of her own life.
She thought she was powerless, but she was not. She thought she had to wait, to be told what to do, to take an enforced break from life, but she did not.
The only way through she realised, was to empower herself and remember that she could make a choice. She could use her agency and decide what she needed to do for her. She could decide how to adapt to changing circumstances. She could choose to live in fear, or choose to be an example of love.
If you’re feeling helpless, hopeless, or disinterested, where, or to whom, have you given your power?
Place your attention on what you CAN do, rather than what you can’t. Replace your stories of victim-hood with present moment awareness, and affirmative gratitude for what you are choosing now, instead of recreating the situations of the past by continually reaffirming your entitlement to be sad or challenged or in pain. You are entitled to feel that way, but I imagine you do not want to. That choice lies solely with you.
I would love to work with you if you are ready to make that choice, and would like support to do so. Message me

As she turned her attention away from what she needed to do to get what she thought she wanted, and instead directed her focus on to the individual small steps that she was guided to take in order to be truly helpful, something miraculous happened.
She was reminded, once again, as she was every time she detoured from the path and found her way back, that she had always been, was and would always be, provided for. There was no need to worry, no need to try to figure things out, and the more she struggled, the more she would experience struggle.
When she allowed herself to surrender, to rest in love for herself and the world, when she forgave herself for trying to do everything herself and ignoring her small, kind voice of inner guidance, she was granted the feeling of peace she hadn’t realised she was missing, and followed her nudges to places where things fell into perfect place without any effort on her part. These places allowed her to feel truly valued, truly valuable, truly loved, and truly peaceful.
It doesn’t matter how many times you mis-step, you can always give up struggling and allow yourself to float and be held by the Universe. You are always supported. There is nothing you cannot come back from. We all have a choice – we can run the uphill race to the top of an imaginary ‘success’ mountain, or we can tune in, let go of thinking we know the best way, and allow the still small voice of our heart to lead us to somewhere far better than we could have ever imagined

Don’t be afraid to say the wrong thing.
Sometimes we can let fear dictate our voices. We close down our thinking and our feeling because, ultimately, we don’t trust ourselves with the truth of our whole being, of the shadow parts and the parts we feel shame or guilt around. We fear how others may receive us, meaning we fear that part in ourselves.
We are rejecting ourselves in a time when everything we knew has shifted, and the only constant is the unknown.
There is no wrong or right here. There is only truth. We can choose to be discerning with how we share it, how we express it, but it is here regardless. We cannot change it, nor suppress it, just make our home within it. We can become comfortable with the truth of who we are, all of us.
I am inviting you to use this opportunity to accept the parts of yourself you have spent so long trying to run away from or avoid: the parts you thought were no good or broken, and the parts you thought no-one could love. EVERY part of you is lovable. You are NOT broken. You are whole and have unlimited potential. I believe in you.
Ask yourself what needs to move in order for you to love yourself, and if you need support, please reach out and ask – I’m offering on-going support via instant message, video and audio notes and am finding it such an incredible way to facilitate growth and support healing with my clients

Don’t fight the struggle. If it feels stressful, or like you’re battling with something that doesn’t seem to want you to have what you want, stop. Wait. Accept what is and allow yourself to have patience and trust that whatever is meant for you is perfect, on it’s way, and will arrive with ease and grace.
Rest in what is. Sometimes we get so caught up in what we’ve decided we want or the way it’s supposed to be that we don’t even realise we’re stressing and pushing against ourselves. This is not how it is supposed to be! When we notice this, we can stop trying and allow instead. Just be with what is, knowing that everything is as it’s supposed to be having been fighting against myself for the last week or so on many many things

I’ve worked with more than one client recently who realised that they were choosing to hold onto their own pain. They could see the light…just….but it was under a layer of pain that they were choosing on some level to hold on to.
Whenever I have more than one client experiencing the same thing, it’s normally an invitation to look within myself as well for the same thing. Where am I choosing to hold on to pain, instead of allowing it to transmute to love?
And the question then becomes….how do we ALLOW the pain to move (to transmute, shape shift, or move into the background)? For me, this work begins and ends in forgiveness. Forgiving ourselves, forgiving others, removing our judgements and opinions about victims and perpetrators, right and wrong and good and bad. Life happened. We had an experience. It felt painful. We saw it through the eyes of fear. How long do we want to continue to hold that pain? Will letting it in, accepting it and allowing it to move so we can see the light within, somehow mitigate or condone what happened?
It comes down to this: would we rather be right (I got hurt – I’m entitled to feel hurt), or happy (it happened, I don’t know why, so perhaps, I can see this situation with love instead of blame)?
