Lean forward

I spent today at a golf club, it was my first day of my 2-days beginner’s golf training. We were trying to swing our clubs so the ball would fly high over a bunker and land perfectly on the green. Some shots were good and just as many were bad, until the instructor took a […]

The seed of life

Yesterday as we were out working in the garden vi found a tiny little plant under one of the garden tables. It was growing in, what one would think would be the worst of conditions, namely in grit. My boyfriend gently picked it up with roots and all, and as he showed me the plant […]

Lemon Tart

A whole year in beads

This morning I dropped my 365th bead into my blue bottle. Wow. Its been a year since we began this journey and it has impacted my life in more ways than I could ever imagine. What initially began as a sort of light reminder as to the value of each day has become a sort […]

Usually we protect our heart and front body, even leaning forward a little, hunching shoulders over. To expose your […]

It’s letting go of your need to control the outcome, and relinquish the fears and the anxiety that holds your littleness in place. It’s to choose love in every moment, no matter […]

Faith III or jumping into the unknown

I’m currently on vacation in Tuscany, Italy. A truly beautiful region with it’s hills and coastline, not to forget the amazing food and wine! The other day my boyfriend took me on a snorkeling date in the Mediterranean. I absolutely love being in the water so one might think its the perfect event, but the […]

Be daring, darling.

Writing a script is an act of faith for me. I can become frozen with fear with all the technicalities, the rules, the points that need to be covered by which pages, the turning points etc etc. I am an actress and haven’t been trained really at all in the art of script writing. I […]

To a large degree, summertime is for a freelancer synonymous with stress and anxiety. Everyone is waiting for decisions to be made, ie will my show or film get a go ahead. Few decisions are made pre-summer because the decision makers leave for vacation, which leads us freelancers in limbo, and we sometimes don’t know  whether we […]
