  • What does it mean to truly love?

    This is the beauty of life

    With deep love, comes deep grief.

    The two are intertwined.

    A beautiful lifelong dance of tension, light and joy with shadow and heartbreak.

    To love is to expand your heart beyond your deep-seated fears, doubts and vulnerabilities.

    With that opening comes not only expansion and bliss but smashed pieces.

    No matter what happens in this life, beautiful soul, never close your heart.

    Never regret a fleeting moment.

    Never regret moments that feel like eternity, even if they don’t last forever.

    It is through this opening that we receive.

    We feel it all.

    We ache in our humanness.

    This is the beauty of life.

    We feel, we feel it all so deeply it shakes us to our core and wake up the divinity within us.

    Expand your heart...

    What does it mean to truly love? To truly love is to…

    Expand your heart beyond your deep-seated fears, doubts and vulnerabilities.

    With that opening comes not only expansion and bliss but smashed pieces.

    No matter what happens in this life, beautiful soul, never close your heart. Never regret a fleeting moment. Never regret moments that feel like eternity, even if they don’t last forever.

    It is through this opening that we receive. We feel it all. We ache in our humanness. This is the beauty of life. We feel, we feel it all so deeply it shakes us to our core and wakes up the divinity within us.

    Inspired by the duality of love I have experienced brought out by the grief and loss of it. My dad passing away when I had just turned 20 years old. Break ups that have had me crying on my knees.

  • What’s meant to be will be

    Have faith...

    Have faith that it will all work out.

    What’s meant to be will be.

    Even if it looks or feels like it won’t.

    Even when you think everything is going wrong.

    Even when you feel discouraged and want to give up.

    At times it will be overwhelming.

    At times it may be heavy.

    At times you’ll need a moment to take it all in.

    You can’t mess it up.

    It’s yours.

    All you have to do is trust the process and continue on your journey.

    It might take a day or maybe it’ll take years but what is meant for you will always find its way to you, even if it’s a roundabout way.

    The waiting, the gap, the in between, the changes, the transitions, the meantime… they all serve a necessary purpose.

    Even delays and detours are part of it.

    You will arrive at the perfect time, as the exact person you need to be, ready.

    Eventually everything will work out.

    It always does.

    Take a deep breath and let go.

    Hold your power and vision.

    Everything will fall into place.

    You don’t have to worry about anything.

    Have trust and have faith.

  • Thank your past self

    Old memories...

    In this lifetime, we will mourn and hold funerals for all the versions of ourselves that we’ve been.

    You aren’t who you were in the past anymore.

    You are who you are now, here, in this present moment.

    Thank your past self for helping you survive.

    Thank your past self for being strong and enduring pain.

    Thank your past self for doing their best and fighting hard.

    Thank your past self for being brave.

    Thank your past self for getting back up and continuing to try.

    Thank your past self for making you who you are today.

    Thank your past self for making mistakes which you’ve learned from.

    Thank your past self for letting you move forward.

    Thank your past self because even if they no longer resonate or align with who you are today… you couldn’t have done it without them.

    Let go in order to be you are now

    It’s understandable if you’re mourning for who you used to be and feeling all of the feels that come with change: sadness, joy, fear, excitement, anxiety and elation.

    You’re allowed to mourn for who you used to be whether you were proud of past you or not.

    And when you’re ready, truly let go… in order to be who you are now 💐

    Who you are becoming.

    Who you choose to be.

    Whilst remembering with great gratitude to the past you, who has enabled you to be who you are today and where you are today.

    How you show up today, will result in who you become in this moment, in tomorrow, in the future.

  • Honour your truth

    Honouring your inner truth

    Exercise the ultimate act of self-love, honouring your inner truth even when it is painful.

    This means walking away from and letting go of what no longer serves you.

    Maybe it’s a job, relationship or location.

    It’s breaking free from what boxes you in – the pressure of society, the weight of what other people think and your own beliefs.

    When everything falls away, one thing will always remain: the truth.

    It cannot be ignored.

    You can live in ignorance, but the truth won’t.

    There will be days when loving being yourself will be tough.

    Sometimes all you can do is love a tiny bit more than yesterday and that is more than enough.

    Sometimes growth means walking away

    Can you really hear yourself? Your soul; your true inner voice? Or are you weighed down by other voices: conditioning, programming, culture, the outside world.

    Honour your truth.

    That may be painful for others but you owe yourself the love and dedication you so willingly give to others.

    Sometimes life and growth means walking away 🌱

    Making space and letting go for a new door to open 🚪

    On the other side is everything you could’ve wanted and more, are you brave enough to open it?

  • Strong soul…

    Life doesn't get easier, you get stronger

    Even when a storm comes and rocks you, there is safety within.

    It’s not about what’s happening around you on the outside world, it’s about what’s happening inside of you, your internal world.

    It’s easy to be strong when life is going the way you want it.

    It’s easy to be strong when positivity comes naturally.

    Real strength comes from braving the storms, riding the waves and withstanding the hurricanes.

    Life doesn’t get easier, you get stronger.

    Strong soul

    There are times in life where you have to sit in the discomfort; the pain; the unpleasant; the chaos 🌀

    These are the times where you are being called to go within.

    To tap into your inner strength; inner resilience; inner essence.

    These are the times you get to know your true self — your soul that cannot be messed with.

    Your power isn’t determined on controlling the outside, it’s from calming and braving the inside.

    Your world, your domain ⚔️

    As Haruki Murakami says: “When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.” ⛈️

  • I’m grateful for…

    I'm grateful for...

    I’m grateful for all that my heart feels.

    I’m grateful for the way it beats with pride and joy.

    I’m grateful in the way it floats with excitement and swells with tenderness.

    I’m grateful when it feels heavy and anchored.

    I’m grateful when it feels like it’s being crushed alive.

    I’m grateful when it swoons with delight and wonder.

    I’m grateful when it beats slowly and gently.

    I’m grateful when it races to the rush and thrill of it all.

    I’m grateful when it aches and I feel every time it bleeds.

    I’m grateful when it rushes off the cliff and suspends itself for a moment in time.

    I’m grateful because my heart reminds me I’m alive.

    Allow yourself to feel it all

    With all the emotions arising from the potent energies we’ve experienced; it is my hope that you let them flow like water.

    Allow yourself to feel it all.

    Every layer.

    Every shift.

    Every ounce.

    Be in the flow instead or resisting it.

    And then you will feel free… 🦋

  • Grateful for this life

    Grateful, thankful and blessed

    At times it can feel like life isn’t perfect and neither am I.

    Even knowing and experiencing that, I am grateful.

    I am grateful when I did not get what I want because life was protecting me.

    I am grateful when life stepped in and gave me a life greater than I ever imagined for myself.

    I am grateful that everything that seemed to be going wrong was really steering me in the right direction.

    I am grateful for all the sadness, struggle and pain because life provided a contrast to truly appreciate all the beautiful moments, the highest of highs.

    I am grateful for the hardships I have faced because I have gained strength and wisdom that I never would have otherwise.

    I am grateful to still be here because traversing rocky roads have led me to conquer mountains I never thought I could.

    Ultimately I have come to understand through the imperfection, that really, life is perfect and who I am right now is exactly who I am meant to be.

    On perspective...

    Whilst you can’t change or control life circumstances, you’ll always have a choice when it comes to perspective.

    Often in hindsight we can find gratitude for the very things in the moment we dismissed as undesirable.

    Never underestimate the power you have in any moment to use your mind, not let it use you 🧠

  • 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 👊🏽

  • Your greatest season…

    Your greatest season

    The truth is sometimes you won’t understand why certain things are happening in your life.

    It will feel frustrating and difficult.

    You will question yourself – who you are, the choices you have made, the decisions you came to, your past and ultimately you still won’t find the answers in that.

    We think that the more we know and understand, the more peace we will have but that isn’t always the case.

    There are times in life all you can do is surrender and ride the waves.

    To have faith and trust in the process.

    That everything is happening for a reason for your greatest season.

    I believe in you...

    This is for you beautiful soul, if you’re in the fog, the uncertainty — doubting yourself, questioning yourself…

    It may not make sense right now and maybe it isn’t meant to make sense right now, but one day it will.

    We can’t always navigate life in our head, intellectually… logically.

    And thus sometimes life will shake itself up with the twists, turns and all things unexpected to get you out of your head and into your body.

    Your heart.

    Your soul.

    Your gut.

    Your intuition.

    It will test your patience.

    It will test your faith.

    It’s not easy but you will get through it.

    I know you will.

    I believe in you 🌟

    I see you 👁️

    I feel you 🧡
