Belief

I started this year with a need to rediscover my faith, to rediscover my belief that everything was going to work out. I had struggled with wondering if I would attain the life I dreamed of and I am ending this year full of faith and hope and belief that it is possible and will […]

Wonder

Wonder: a feeling of surprise mingled with admiration, caused by something beautiful, unexpected, unfamiliar or inexplicable.  For me the word wonder crops up almost only when talking of children she stared in childlike wonder and such but this week when I reflect on it, the word that comes to mind is wonder. I unexpectedly have […]

Grateful

“Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement you should give thanks for everything.” Ralph Waldo Emerson. Happy Thanksgiving.

Timing

Holly told me a few years ago that she had heard a rockstar being interviewed in his 70s and that he had said that now, looking back on his life, everything happened at just the right moment but that when he was in the thick of it it had been impossible to see that. This […]

Desert

I didn’t just decide on my own steam to go off into the sand dunes, I was literally sent there by all my family […]

Adventure

This week has brought more work than I’ve had in months and so preparing for a trip to the Sahara desert for the Fisahara film festival has been challenging and squeezed around deadlines and the odd snatched yoga class. All I have done for over a week now has been write, record, eat and sleep. […]

Surrender

This week was one of those neon infused weeks which occasionally come at you thick and fast which also brought with it the true test of what I have been grappling with all year; surrender and letting go. Thanks to the enormous generosity of my wonderful family and friends who have pooled together to give […]
