There are some things you only truly understand when you are in the middle of it, or in retrospective reflection. This is where I find myself in the middle of the countryside in South West France with my leg up. I have given myself (or rather it was given to me) the rare opportunity to
Thank you for being here. For being part of my life even if I never meet you, we are connected. Without other humans, who are we truly? I am writing because you are here and I want to connect in this way. It is actually an impossibly question as we came from a human,
Let love be my first and last stop on this journey. And may I find as many moments of love as I can in between. I always thought self-love was over-rated. I thought, what about all our other emotions, our anger, our rage and shame? They count too! I was so aware of spiritual

What is alive within you, waiting to be uncovered, nourished and explored? This is a question that often arrives for women at midlife, when the end of this journey is just over the mountain, and we are halfway there if we are lucky. It is often a time, as well, where our training

Whether you are in the spiritual world, the social world or the world of physics and science, we return time and time again to the fact that we are all energy, everything is energy, and
Diverse societies are more adaptive, resilient and survive longer. Diverse diets support a healthy body and microbiome. Diverse plant life support each other to grow and the health of the whole region. Biodiversity is a key indicator of the health of an ecosystem.
