Brain Transplants

It is so easy to take miraculous things for granted. We often live our lives in a predictable pattern, wake at the same time, eat the same things, watch the same TV shows, shop in the same places, relate to people the same ways and go to bed at the same time. I try so …

Blind Trust

It is just unbelievable how much renovation disrupts your home, your routines and your mental state. My mental state is very much influenced by disorganisation. I know where everything is (usually in my desk) and not having things easily locatable was doing my head in. Norm put in the desk drawers on Sunday which certainly …

Manifesting a Man

I had two pretty fabulous things happen this week. First of all, if you read last week's post you will have seen that I wrote about trying to manifest a male house sitter? I got him! A friend told me about his son who is a single adult and a home body so the house …

Emotional Regulation

There are so many terms which have popped up into everyday conversation since I was parenting my littles, one that my therapist throws in a lot is 'emotional regulation'. I had never heard this term when I was a mom of little kids and I lived in LA and went to a million kids classes …

Rollin on the River

My kids cannot believe that I can tolerate animals in my environment, much less sleeping in the bed with me. I have always been incredibly OCD, in particular about germs. I still am a germ avoider where I can be but I do not stress out about their mess any longer. Usually. Norm arrived back …

A Doe, A Deer

We had such an amazing holiday with my mom in the US. The weather was mild and there was not much rain and we spent most of the time just hanging out together, but I also got to see a lot of family and friends. We arrived on Friday the 15th of December which was …

Water and Release

Last weekend was such a lovely vibe, starting so fabulously with the Organic Magic Project Event on Friday. Then on Saturday Norm drove me out to Scarborough to say goodbye to Tass my beloved teacher. Norm is always willing to be my transport as he knows how driving makes me so anxious but he is …

Bowing Before Greatness

Cape Town weather is notoriously changeable, most people carry attire in their car boot (trunk for you Yanks) to cater for excessive rain or extreme heat. I often have a wrap, rain boots, flip flops and all manner of things in mine. The Mother City definitely summoned up all of her chaos for last weekend. …

Who’s Zoomin Who

What a hectic chaotic week! I mentioned last week that I had a Shaman class in Scarborough on Sunday, but there were a few sick members and I thought we agreed to do it via Zoom for those who did not want to come in for whatever reason so I chose to zoom to save …

Rumination

The only bad thing about a 3 day weekend is how long the following week feels, but the long weekend itself was lovely. A nice mix of friends, family, outings and visits. Last Sunday it was Father's Day so Caitlin came to collect us and we went off to the Hout Bay Harbour Market. https://www.instagram.com/p/CtoVB65qpM8/
