Meanwhile In Real Life...

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 process ever since.

For years I’ve held two threads of my work:

motherscircle.co.uk — a space for tired mothers to rest, receive support, and rediscover who they are.yogawithsacha.com — a space for others to rest, receive support, explore creative practices, and rediscover who they are.

It took me a long time to see they were doing basically the same thing — just with twice the effort!

This week I brought it all home to yogawithsacha.com. And I'm so excited to share this new/old website with you! 

I’ve distilled 2 websites into one simpler, clearer space: supporting those who most need my work through rest, voice, gentle yoga, and circles of connection. The process has been deeply creative and surprisingly energising. I feel lighter. Clearer. As though I have twice the energy for the same work.

GRATITUDE

For the first time since having children, half term felt easy. I loved being with the little ones. (Most of the time!) We visited lovely places, learned new things, and they had plenty of time just running wild in community — soaking up the almost-spring sunshine, friendship, and freedom, literally filling the halls and the gardens with laughter.

And often, they are so content here that I'm  finding more and more small pockets of time to write, tend the website, or simply enjoy a quiet cup of tea. This sort of thing is very new- and lies in stark contrast to many of my moments of somehow struggling away in paradise, while living on the gorgeous island of Corfu. 

A NEW LIFE

This calmness is new. It was the dream that called us to return to England and begin again. It wasn’t easy — but in this moment I have no regrets. I still love all the friends I have out there- some of my favourite people in the world live in that gem of a place. Yet for me, so many days ease felt impossible, me and my family fell through soo many nets that nice beaches just weren't enough to make it worthwhile. But now here it is- ease at last! There is joy in this. Deep gratitude for our home, the kindness around us, the steady support, the energy to create, to love, to rest.

I don’t take any of it for granted. And I know life has its seasons and this too shall pass. But in the meantime I'm soaking it up-  I wish that everyone could have at least a little of this. As I write I'm sending some of it back to the version of me that was struggling soo hard to make it all work, and I send out a wish that it can also wing its way to any of you reading this in need of a little (or a lot) more lightness and ease. 

REFLECTIVE PAUSE

Invitation: set a timer for a 3 mins (or more) and write or ponder:

1. Where in my life am I making something more complicated than it needs to be?

2. What might one tiny step towards more ease or simplicity look like in my daily life?

3. What small or big thing in my life right now feels even a little bit good right now— and can I let myself fully receive it?
