I’ve started to see self-love differently.
A few years back my intuition was telling me to share information about self-love, so I ran a 14 day challenge.
I remember when I put that challenge together I wondered – how will I ever fill 14 days!
We’re being spoken to all the time, and our role is to listen.
We don’t though, and that’s ok – yes it’s ok because the messages will keep coming until we can create the space to listen, to trust and to apply.
Grow so your children can grow differently.
When Teddy was young, and he was learning to use an iPad, one of his brothers said to me ‘geez he’s better at using that thing than me’ and perhaps he is, even though he hasn’t been using if for a long time – and perhaps his brother wasn’t using apple, so if he did maybe he’d be pretty good at it anyway.
My response to him was ‘of course, Teddy’s upgraded software’.
Living in alignment isn’t hard but it isn’t easy either.
Much like eating for our body with foods that make us feel well verses foods that don’t make us feel well.
Living in alignment requires us to say no to things and we’re not always good at saying no. It can also requires us to sit with decisions, not make them on the spot because we need more time verses making the person happy in the moment.
I hate being woken up.
I love to wake up of my own accord, feeling refreshed or not, but just waking up when my body tells me it’s time to wake up.
I love not having to get out of bed for anything, knowing that I have things on for my day but I get to choose when I actually get out of bed.
I’ve been thinking about sometimes foods. As I move into kicking my ice cream addiction – that came into full swing after I let go of chocolate for 12 months (I’m 6 months in), I wondered what I wanted my ice cream journey to look like.
Sometimes food.
Ice cream is now a sometimes food for me.
Foods are either yin, yang or neutral, and you can play with them in your day to day life to bring your body back into balance.
When we understand why we combine foods the way we do, and why when we’ve eaten something savoury we then crave something sweet, and vice versa, we can choose again – or choose the same – but we know more.

In the last few days the word betrayal has come up twice when talking about events that have happened in my life.
I was betrayed by someone who I would have expect had my back and was my biggest champion and someone who is a friend.
Complex Carbohydrates and my brain are best friends. When I chose to take carbs out of my diet all together my body ate itself.
At the time I was working on putting on muscle mass, not losing it, so this had a huge impact on me and I quickly learnt that carbs are so much more than what they seem.
