Are we driven by rigidity disguised as values?
Many many parents will believe and make it their parenting style to “discipline” their child who given too much freedom is a recipe for a spoilt brat of a child who will have trouble building relationships. What is the single most important thing that is happening to our little baby come toddler? The parents are […]
Feeling so humbled and grateful….
This morning my brother who is so hard to get hold of, sent a text message responding to my call, saying he was about to get into a meeting; my sister in law the other day sent a similar message that she has just left home at 630am to be at her place of work […]
Letting go of stress (Part 2)
I must admit I do get a tad bit frustrated at how I just about manage a post when little bubba naps; just when I am well and truly inspired, guess what? He wakes up!!! Tonight after he finally fell asleep I was literally in tears. I just let it all out. I came downstairs […]
Letting go of stress
The amount of times we hear, “take it easy, you need to let go of your stress” honesty would have me a lot of cash in the bank! Ermmm isn’t stress vital for our existence? So if we were faced with a predator say a snake or someone tried to attack us won’t we need […]
Trusting Thy Will
It amazes me and fills me with joy when I watch how my little bubba prompts me teases me and almost sets me up to grow and really feel my own core. It is not like a “who I am within feeling” but something bigger deeper and profound. It comes with an aftertaste of feeling […]

Ooof the overload the overwhelm the overboard!
Have you noticed how the word “overwhelm” has become the norm? How may times do you say “I am feeling overwhelmed.” Or “I feel too crowded”, or “Erghh I just need my space” or “I don’t have the headspace to deal with this” or “I feel too raw inside to venture out back into society”!!! […]
Self-conscious parenting to conscious parenting
The other day I noticed how my voice and even posture changed when other people happened to pass by our front garden whilst I played with my little bubba. Bubba loves to play outdoors and resists any mention of going back indoors. Likewise he loves to play with the garage door fob. At times he […]
We are all Healers – wounded and healing all of the time
As I grow with my child I watch my own response and how that has evolved. This evolution revolves around the innate desire, conscious or unconscious, to return to origin. A return to innocence and an unravelling of the wholeness once there. Our child needs our love, and not just meeting their physical day to […]
