Hello there ~ How are you?  I write to you today with the winds of change blowing strongly outside my window.   A WEEKEND OFF Last weekend was a first for Ben and me: two whole nights off from the kids. (~Thanks G'ma and Matt!) For a long time this was unimaginable. There was neither the ability to leave the babies (and keep my heart intact), the money, the time, nor the local family support or childcare to even consider such a break. It felt luxurious and very new to put dow

Hello there~ How are you?  I write to you today feeling full of joy and spaciousness.   SPRING TIME  The sun is warm today, and I write this after a quiet practice by the pond. I lay on my coat in a T-shirt, looking up at the sky. It felt like a precious gift in what has been a diverse and full week. It’s my first English spring in eight years. I’d forgotten how sudden it can be. One minute everything feels half asleep, and the next moment it all begins to wake. I’d got used

Hey there ~ How are you?  It's been a busy half term week for me and my little tribe. There has been lovely time with Granny- museums, nature walks and all the family activities... but also a few big creative changes I'm very happy to share with you here.  SIMPLICITY, CLARITY & CREATIVITY A few weeks ago I wrote that something creative was calling, though I didn’t yet know what. That space didn’t stay empty for long. The universe rushed in — and it’s been a joyful, juicy proc

How are you?  It's been a lovely week of settling into my new home- And Enjoying that Imbolc feeling of the spring gently starting to call us out of the depths of winter.  I write a little early this week due to various family logistics :)  RESTED I write this little update fresh from… don’t laugh… a spa day.  Any of you reading this for a while will know how unusual that sort of thing is for me to say—but there we are, every dog has its day. And this particular day, was that

So if the previous week brought a message of waiting —this one brings a message of gratitude . After months of temporary housing, and well over a year of hard graft and instability, we have finally landed. Woooo hooooo! WE ARE IN! At long last, we’ve purchased our real home here in the community and now have our own bedroom, a John-Malkovich-inspired (temporary!) kids’ room, a lovely living room, a dining room, and a bathroom. Half of the house still needs renovation, but by

Life,  I am told moves in seasons, Throughout the incredible journey each of us takes there are times of activity, times of rest, times of flexibility, times of structure.     This week has been busy on the surface (lots of coaching,  mediation tutoring and lots of kid time)...  But behind all this activity the real flavour has been a very particular season- the season of waiting ,      It's been a week of holding my breath, of cultivating patience, of leaning in to trust,  

So… to fill you in on my winding path through life and love, here’s where I’m at: After eight magical years in Corfu, Ben and I decided it was time to return to the UK. Many of you have asked—Why did we move? Where are we now? How are we doing?—and while the full story is wonderfully messy, I’ll share a glimpse. We’re now living in an Intentional Community in the south of England. A sprawling stately home, a thriving farm, and a vibrant circle of people growing food, raising
