That whispering heart of yours

We are searching for what’s perfect. We want to be the perfect partner, parent, citizen, friend, and we want the perfect career and the perfect life – but what’s left of you at the end of the day? We push ourselves to fit the mould of what life should be. What we think other people […]

Still

The next week back from the desert has been a hard adjustment. I think the first few days back I was just jet lagged and getting back into the LA spin of things whereas this week has felt extremely raw. I feel my heart really opened in a massive way in the desert, expanded and […]

Negative feelings, thoughts and patterns – start with yourself!

You know that feeling when you look at someone else’s success and you feel a sting of hurt or slight bitterness. Or you might judge someone for their choices. whenever we focus on what others do or don’t do in a negative way it stifles us, brings out the worst, and most all it is energy […]

Previously I’ve been very logical about things, and since I’m a very […]

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. […]
