I’m in no rush to get the year started

by Helena · January 16, 2018 Reading Time: 3 minutes

Relaxed cat

It's mid January and I feel I'm only just starting to relax into the summer holiday vibe.

All I want to do is unwind and chill after a … [Read more...] about I’m in no rush to get the year started

Immersion Therapy

Overcast beach day

I went for a walk on the beach today - first one this year. There were no barriers. I didn't have any appointments or anything I "had" to do.

Serious cat

There are days when I stumble and I'm not my best self. Not enough sleep, life not going like I'd like it to, the wrong number showing up on the scales or the sun not shining, can all impact how I behave with people. I strive to be kind, respectful and friendly as often as I can but some days … [Read more...] about Seeing Clearly

Filling up my Cup

by Helena · April 23, 2017 Reading Time: 2 minutes

Computer, coffee, croissant

It's Sunday afternoon and the weekend isn't finished yet but it's been a really good one. Of course when the sun is out, as it is today in Melbourne, the whole world looks more lovely in my eyes, but right now I'm feeling particularly calm and relaxed.
