Crafting an open space starts within
We have a real need for space these days with all the technologies that have almost shrunk the globe into a little handheld device. When we open our social media we find ourselves scrolling down the posts more than we originally intended to. And that takes us away from our present moment. In less than […]
Pride and Prejudice
“our binders to a finite limited self awareness” “Hellbent on being special and all powerful we want to stand out, we want to be noticed and we want to feel worth something maybe in currency, who we date and who we dare be seen with” “I am sorry I didn’t have the time to return […]
A certain degree of “sleep” perhaps is necessary even useful to live?
We are here to fulfil our potential; but what if that potential in any one life is not always a return to wholeness but partially so? Could that explain the disparity in our individual belief system of the idea of a whole us? Our views, opinions, and entire belief systems are as varied as there […]
I feel like a terrible mama because I am single ….
I cry and then I cry some more. I wonder whether little bubba will feel the abandonment of his father the way I did mine. I feel the guilt parking itself inside of me and bringing out my own insecurities as a parent and as a wounded child in recovery. My mind goes to my […]
Love is all around I want to dance sing and hug every person I see ……please may I?
Ah what a sight it was this morning as we walked through the farm along the footpath to watch little bubba stop every passerby and wish them “goodmoro”! They smiles back and obliged our little bubba and you bet that if any one of them was having any nasty thought that’s all gone for sure. […]
In the name of self care shall the fruit of our loins our children suffer?
Oooof it really irritates the hell out of my generally congenial mindset when I start to crave more me time and expect that my little bubba will get over it because for me my me needs are somehow getting priority. Ermmmm but when did this happen? I thought I was the conscious parent in action. […]
Do you secretly crave to be seen and heard?
Wow! We go to lengths and breadths to be seen don’t we? And we mostly don’t know that what we are seeking is to meet an inner infantile need in us. How? What was your experience watching the interactions between toddlers and their parents? Can you remember yours? Chances are your childhood is not really […]
Self ……The SELF…. Self and then what? Esteem, worth, care, awareness….
There is a flavour of “leave me alone”, “I don’t need to give you an explanation”, “I can be me and you can be you”, “I know what I am doing”, “i am more important to me that your opinion of me”, “i need space”, “what about me”, “this is my time and I can […]
Bypassing parts of us for what exactly?
I look around and see so much wonderment and excitement; I also feel exhilarated and giddy with the possibility of anything. There are also feelings of stress of changes that come with this. We hear the sound of those tiny feet and our heart fills with joy. When they become toddlers we are amazed at […]
Salvation Fantasy……what’s that?
Aha! We are driven by a web interwoven with stories we have heard of what perfect lives look like; what a happy life means; what a spiritual pursuit is all about; what love means; and most of all what we are or should be, at a given point in our lives even if that means […]
