  • There’s hope… and help

    It is my hope...

    Sure there will be times you question life, question the universe and even question yourself.

    It is my hope that you never forget how strong and resilient you are.

    It is my hope that you never forget how far you have come even when you did not think you would make it through.

    It is my hope you remember that you are so loved and your presence is a huge light in this world.

    It is my hope that you remember you are so loved and it wouldn’t be the same without you here.

    It is my hope you remember the impact you have on the people around you and the community at large.

    It is my hope you remember that you are not alone, that help is always available, you have the power and choice to reach out.

    Keep going, you've got this

    A message to you during tides of changing times 🌊

    You might not feel strong right now but that doesn’t mean you aren’t… you are because you’re still here.

    It’s in these moments of discomfort where we truly grow beyond what we think we are capable of…

    Expand beyond what we thought was possible…

    It can feel lonely but you are never alone — you have a whole team on the other side supporting you always with unconditional love.

    Keep going, you’ve got this 👊🏽

  • Embrace the darkness

    Even stars need darkness to shine

    Not all of life can be lived in the light.

    There are times life is calling us to the shadows – to grow, evolve and expand far greater than we ever have before.

    The void.

    The darkness.

    The womb space.

    The caterpillar must go into the cocoon to emerge a butterfly.

    The phoenix must die to be reborn and emerge from the ashes.

    The dark night of the soul must take pace for the awakening.

    The seedling must be planted and covered in dirt to beautifully bloom.

    Even stars and the moon need darkness in order to shine…

    The light is there, hidden

    With the darkness in life it’s not always as it appears to be.

    Beneath the veil of darkness and in the unseen. The light is there, hidden ✨

    You cannot fully perceive the changes unfolding, but just because you can’t does not mean that they aren’t happening… everything being lined up in perfect timing perfectly for you.

    Perhaps reflect in your life during difficult times that felt like the end of the world yet were the springboard and catalyst to something greater, more than you realised and could perceive at the time.

    Perhaps the darkness was your great
    We need the darkness as much as the, it’s natural as night and day.

    If you’re in the darkness now, this is a sign and affirmation to trust and have faith in the process.

    All will be revealed 💡

    I know it’s not easy, I believe in you 🌟

  • There is always more

    There is always more...

    Maybe today what you need to be reminded of is: 

    Your existence is wanted and life is still worth living.

    You’ve lived many lifetimes preparing you to be here right now.

    There is more to your story.

    Your story is still unfolding and you’re about to enter into one of the greatest chapters of your life.

    Good things are coming your way beautiful soul.

    Be here to see it, feel it, touch it and experience it.

    Let go of lingering in the past and make space in your heart for your future.

    Free yourself from the bind of your mind and be here in this moment.

    We know all things change in the blink of an eye.

    Keep turning the pages, for there is always more.

    Keep turning the pages

    Sometimes we read a story and there’s parts that don’t make sense until the story progresses… and maybe that’s your life too.

    The only way to know?

    Keep turning the pages.

    You are living the life you are because you have the capacity and resilience to.

    In some spiritual sense your soul chose this story like for the greatest growth and expansion of your soul.

    That is not always pretty or fun, but that’s growth.

    We don’t grow as quickly and greatly in pretty and fun… there’s nothing like a baptism of fire, crumbling tower moments and dark nights of the soul.

    You got this beautiful soul ⚡️

  • On healing…

    You heal when...

    You heal when you love yourself through it.

    You heal when you express what’s inside.

    You heal when you speak your truth, it’s medicine.

    You heal when you forgive not only others but yourself too.

    You heal when you let go of how you think it should be and let it just be.

    You heal when you realise you are not broken and there’s nothing to fix.

    You heal when you get out of your head and into your body.

    You heal when you move and be on your own timeline.

    You heal when you let the past, be the past.

    You heal when you no longer resist and surrender to the flow.

    You heal because you are doing the best that you can and that is more than enough.

    Accepting the process...

    Because your healing won’t be through hate or self loathing.

    Your medicine is in kindness, compassion and love for yourself.

    Your healing comes in being able to hold space for yourself and everything that comes with the journey, all the feelings — grief, joy, sadness, ecstasy, anger and relief.

    Your healing will be at your own pace and it’s okay if it starts slow and progresses inch by inch because that is progress.

    You’ll have moments of feeling weak followed by bursts of being brave nevertheless what lies at your heart is always strength and resilience because you’ve made it so far and will continue to.

    I see you healing and I think it’s so beautiful.

  • Find your simple joys

    Simplicity is best

    There’s something about simplicity.

    In a world where chaos and rushing rule the day.

    In a world where we are lost and caught up in our tangled minds.

    Simplicity is best.

    It’s all about the simple happy pleasures in life.

    The first sip of coffee in the morning.

    Mid afternoon naps.

    Watching the sun rise.

    Laughing with friends.

    Lemon ice tea.

    Dinner by candlelight.

    Watching the clouds go by.

    Going to bed after a busy day.

    Fresh sheets.

    Warm bread straight out of the oven.

    Morning dew.

    Rolling ocean waves.

    Walking barefoot on grass.

    Buttery popcorn.

    Making someone smile.

    Homemade pie.

    A scenic drive.

    Golden hour.

    Find your simple joys.

    Find your simple joys

    Find your simple joys because happiness doesn’t have to be complicated.

    Find your simple joys because it’s the little things in life alongside the big moments.

    Find your simple joys because otherwise life goes quick and will rush by.

    Find your simple joys ☕️

  • Your healing journey

    On healing...

    Healing is a funny thing.

    It can feel so slow.

    It can feel so arduous.

    It can feel as if nothing is changing.

    It can feel like the past has a tight grip on you.

    It can feel like you are doing so much yet so little at the same time.

    It can feel like you are on the edge of an abyss slowly moving back.

    It can feel like the dark void or whole hearted fullness.

    Until one day you realise that you have come a long way, more than you thought.

    You’ll realise that healing isn’t suddenly realised in a day.

    That all along you’ve been healing and every step of progress counts whether big or small.

    Trust and have faith in your journey

    I hope you know that everything that happens in your healing journey unfolds in the way that it needs to including setbacks and mistakes.

    Everything happens as it should for your highest healing and growth.

    Trust and have faith in your journey.

    Healing looks different for everyone and healing looks incredible on you.

    In this journey be kind to yourself.

    In this journey be loving to yourself.

    In this journey be compassionate with yourself.

    For it is love that heals.

    You got this and I believe in you beautiful soul, yes you, the one reading this 🧡

  • Reasons to keep going

    Living for the moments

    Live for the moments you cannot put into words.

    Live for the kisses that will take your breath away.

    Live for the conversations that will touch your heart and soul.

    Live for the spark that will make you feel so passionate and alive.

    Live for the day you look in the mirror and fall in love.

    Live for the realisation when you discover and understand why you are here right now.

    Life is tough, but so are you

    I’ve been there… in the darkness questioning why I should live.

    At times it can feel really tough.

    I know and I see you beautiful soul.

    I hope you see this as a sign to keep going no matter.

    Life is tough but so are you.

    You are tougher.

    One day you’ll look back at moments like these or hard days and see the gift in it all.

    The beauty.

    The wisdom.

    The gold.

    To find it, keep going and you will soon see and find out for yourself 🧡

  • Be kind to yourself

    Perhaps it's time for change...

    Why is it that the person we are hardest on is ourselves?

    We seem to be so understanding and compassionate towards others, yet we seem to forget ourselves.

    Don’t be so hard on yourself beautiful soul, you are doing the best you can with whatever is going on right now.

    You’ve been through so much already.

    You are strong.

    You are a survivor.

    Life is already tough, you don’t need to be even tougher on yourself.

    Perhaps you could bring more love to all parts of yourself?

    Perhaps you could make peace with all the doubts and worries that snake around in your mind.

    Perhaps you could meet yourself with more tenderness.

    Perhaps it’s time to be less hard on yourself…

    A gentle reminder

    A gentle reminder and love letter from your heart and soul 🧡

    You can do it all.

    You are full of possibilities.

    You have so much potential.

    Yes, yes, yes!

    You are also human (the best and most beautiful thing).

    You will make mistakes.

    You will get tired.

    You may get sidetracked.

    And that’s okay.

    Remember that hate, shame and guilt will never fuel sustainable growth.

    Let love lead the way always 🧡

  • Are you feeling overwhelmed?

    My not to do list...

    When you’re overwhelmed, take a step back.

    What NEEDS to be done right now?

    Forget a to-do list… you need a NOT TO DO LIST.

    E.g. I don’t need to take on more work.

    I don’t need to listen to negative thoughts.

    I don’t need to feel guilty or shame myself.

    Doing the best you can

    Who’s guilty of taking on more than they can handle? 🙋🏼‍♀️

    Most of us can relate.

    The people pleaser in us.

    The over achiever.

    The fear of guilt/rejection.

    The perfectionist.

    The control freak.

    In moments like these take a moment for yourself to breathe and ask yourself – does this actually NEED to be done?

    Maybe you desire to get it done quickly.

    Maybe you ideally get it done sooner rather than later.

    The thing about to do lists is often they never run out… as soon as you do something another thing pops up.

    When we can learn to surrender and allow this, life gets easier.

    Do the most and best you can in the moment.

    That’s all you can do!

    You’re a human being, not a human doing 🧡

  • Finding light through the darkness

    Your journey through darkness...

    People may be jealous of your light, but they won’t be jealous of the the journey through darkness you had to take to shine.

    Let your light shine

    Let your light shine so bright that others can see and find their way out of darkness ✨

    I still remember when I first was told the below quote by Marianne Williamson it sent tingles up my spine…

    “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous…actually…who you are you not to be?”

    It made me realise whilst I was afraid of failure, in a subconscious conditioned way I was scared of success.

    What people would think of me?

    Who I would become shedding my old scared self in the process?

    Know that all your triumphs and successes are yours.

    Know that you were born on this earth and discover your purpose – to be the best version of you which allows your highest self to shine.

    Remember this, happy people never tarnish or diminish your light and if someone is jealous of your light you know you’re clearly up to good because no one is jealous of pain, misery and suffering.

    Imagine if you got out of your own way today to be your true, free, liberated self.

    What would you achieve?

    Who would you become?

    Be like the sun 🌞 the sun shines everyday evenly blindingly so and doesn’t give a damn 🌻

    You weren’t born to be ordinary.

    You weren’t born to be bland.

    You weren’t born to fit in.

    You weren’t born to shrink yourself.

    You weren’t born to be mediocre.

    You were born because you are EXTRAORDINARY ⚡️

    I hope you dare to shine beautiful soul because the world needs your light more than ever 💫

    love & positivity ✨ phi
