Don’t sweat the small stuff

I recently began shooting weekly Vlogs for my show Feathers and Toast and this past week my theme was Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff where I talked about having gone for a yoga class which I missed and so instead went for a hike, ended up inadvertently scaling a mountain and having my brother talk […]

Oneness

I spent last Sunday night sleepless; my heart was aching, my soul hurting. The pictures of the 3-year old Syrian boy washed up on the beach in Turkey, broke my heart. The state of the world just overwhelmed me and peace was nowhere to be found. Giving money to humanitarian organisations was not enough anymore. […]

Animal Instinct

I woke at my usual time of around 7am on Wednesday morning and thought immediately about the street signs I had been vaguely aware of around where I live saying that you couldn’t park certain days from 6am-6pm for road maintenance. I couldn’t really remember which days and which streets but went outside dressed but […]

One week commitment

When we started The Bead Movement, we instantly dove right into making every day matter, but lately I have had a nagging feeling that I have somehow failed to ’live the best life I possibly can’ EVERY day. Either I get in a spin of anxious thoughts of ’why did I do or say that?’, […]

Interconnected

So this month our theme is interconnectedness. Its a wide wide idea to think about. For me this week I saw a parallel between reading about Lucille Balls life in a biography and what I was doing in mine. At one time Lucille was a struggling actress in LA, trying to even get herself credited […]

100%

Living 100% out of every minute. Squeezing everything possible out of the moment. I have a thought that without keeping myself in check I maybe living only about 30 or 40% out of every minute. Without having my head here and now. That I maybe draining the intensity of the minute by thinking of what […]

Coincidence

A year ago I read a book by Deepak Chopra on interconnectedness and oneness. His perspective is that nothing happens randomly in our world; there is no mere chance or luck involved in the unfolding of our lives. His view is that everything fits together in a perfect and divine order. The essence can be […]

The right choice

I have had an amazingly productive week, and I have no idea whether it’s because of my three day juice cleanse, my 3 weeks of vacation or that I am in a better work mode. It might have something to do with us finally coming to an end of unpacking after the move, and that […]

Busy

This week my brother Jamie posted an article on Facebook which talked about the modern epidemic of being busy. It was really interesting and something I’ve been thinking a lot about in the past few months. The article talks about the fact that often times when you ask someone how they are they will reply with […]

The 3 rats

So listening has taken a deeper turn this week. For the first time in 16 years of having a cell phone my phone broke. For hours I trouble-shot to no avail with Verizon on the phone, downloading programs on my computer, adding storage saving photographs and a myriad of other time consuming things which meant […]
