Feeling Insecure and Anxious

Standing at the Edge of a Cliff
Hello there folks. In many ways I feel like I am standing at the edge of a cliff, with the vastness of the unknown stretching out before me, I can feel my heart racing like it has never before. It's a place where fear and excitement collide, almost as though...
Beyond the Comfort Zone
Hello there folks. Cold water immersion, also known as cold water therapy, is immersing oneself in cold water for a set period. It has been gaining popularity recently due to its many benefits, such as reducing inflammation, boosting the immune system, and...
Freedom and Independence
Hello there folks. I have been focusing on my inner drive for freedom and independence now at this age and revisited some other stages in my life where these two values were just as important, however, for different reasons. Firstly, why is it important to me? ...
Nothingness
Hello. It’s been ages since I last wrote anything. There have been lots of thoughts and ideas tumbling around in my head. I have started many blogs, I even recorded a few sentences, and nothing inspired me enough to write about them. That seems to be a theme in my...
Flow with the change
Hi there! I hope this blog finds you well and happy. I'm enjoying the tail end of summer here in the Southern Hemisphere, although today it’s a little chilly where I am. Usually, I love summer and all the energy and activities that come with it. However, this year has...
The wounded healer
Hey there friends, As someone with Chiron in the 4th House in the sign of Pisces, in my astrological chart, I've spent a lot of time reflecting on what it means to be a wounded healer as I have chosen the profession of helping others and teaching them to navigate...
Intuition
Hey there friends, I wanted to share something with you today that I've come to understand about myself and how I make decisions. As we all know, life can be full of choices, and knowing which path to take can be challenging. But I’ve realized that our intuition is...
Freedom
I started this Blog a little over a year ago, in 2021, and I wanted to be more active on it, bearing my soul. With the year I have experienced, I now understand that I have only been scratching at the surface. My initial purpose was to share my journey and create a...
Back to the start
I have sensed a shift related to my past for a while now. It is almost as though some invisible layer is being lifted like a veil to show me the fundamentals of my childhood structure to highlight something essential for me at this very stage of my life; it sounds...
Nothingness
Hello. It’s been ages since I last wrote anything. There have been lots of thoughts and ideas tumbling around in my head. I have started many blogs, I even recorded a few sentences, and nothing inspired me enough to write about them. That seems to be a theme in my...
Parallel Realities
Hello, again beautiful souls. It is with a light heart and a gentle smile that I sit here typing this blog, knowing that possibly a few of you may wonder after reading it if I have lost the plot completely. A blog for me is an expression of myself and in this...
Acceptance
Hello there. Wherever you may be in the world today the sun is shining somewhere. We are getting to the end of Winter here in the Southern Hemisphere and I am so aware that this was a winter of extremes for me, and I would imagine I am not alone. My connections in...
Eclipse in reality for me
Hello there once again. It’s been more than a month since I last wrote anything. It’s been a month of growth, turbulence, flooding, and excessive heat, cold and now the Winter Solstice is upon us in the Southern Hemisphere. Perhaps you too have been feeling the...
Down to brass tacks
Hello there to all of you. I have been experiencing a week of non-days, today in particular. I am unsure if that is even a word, non-day, however that is how I feel. I am so accustomed to achieving things daily to feel fulfilled. In having something to show for...
Immbolised by Fear
I am pleased to be active again. Things have been crazy around here for me in a very strange way as though my world was on hold. I seemed to have built up some resistance to expressing my thoughts for a while until today. I am always grateful for the gifts I receive...
Integrating the parts.
This week I have really been chewing on the various definitions of the concept of integrating. I use the word regularly so it intrigued me to look a little further. Here is one definition that seemed the closest to what I want to discuss this week...
The path to thriving
Greetings to all. I have been fortunate to stay away from mainstream media and pick up the pieces “Stompies” (as we say in South Africa) to get a picture of what we are being exposed to in terms of information. I am also acutely aware that there are empaths out...
Unchartered Waters
Hello again from a humid and rainy coastal day. I must say this week flew by and yet it has simultaneously felt as though there was, and is, a huge pause around me specifically. I am sensing that there are more than a few of us feeling very drained of energy and...
What do I bring to the party?
Hello again from my inner sanctuary. This week I have been very blessed with loads of information and contributions from those around me who have contributed to the content of this blog today. It got me thinking. In our South African culture, we have a tradition...
Letting go
This week has been one of personal reflection, deep sorrow and many lifestyle changes. I have allowed myself some creative thinking and sitting with those uncomfortable truths that I am holding onto stuff that is literally holding me in a space of exhaustion and...
Observations
Wow! What a week it seemed fraught with change, challenge, disruption, emotional, abuse and simultaneously eerily calm. I was aware of that Full Moon on the 16th. I have also been aware of death and injuries, across the board, human, animal and plant kingdom. In...
Breaking the cycle
It’s that time again! I realize that some folks may read this way into the future so let’s just say this week was interesting and filled with such contrast. I managed to finally get into the rhythm of being out of home more and getting to know my new environment and...

Reconciliation or Resilience?
Hi there 😊 wow this has been a week of events that have led me to feel like I am in the eye of the storm. Not the warrior woman that I will fight my way through this. More like the wizard in the eye of a storm patiently waiting it out to glean the wisdom...
Awakening
It is the end of the week again! Time to share. Initially I was focused on a loud message I received this week about awakening. Instead, it seems as though my world is tilting a little today, Is it really just me? People arriving at the incorrect time for meetings,...
Am I creating this?
Hello again its Friday which seems to be my day for reflection and sharing 😊 Today specifically I have both been inspired and saddened by what I have blocked in my life as a result of what I believed I was born into, not only as a woman but also as a woman...
