All Glitter and Cardboard

I'm always more pleased to receive gifts that show someone thought about the things that interest me, rather than gifts that they picked up at the chemist on the 'Mother's Day' / 'Valentines Day' marketing section on the shelves. Norman always knows the things that make me happy no matter how simple. My kids are …

Three Under Three

The difference in my life between last weekend and this weekend is like night is to day. Last weekend I was surrounded by noisy, energetic, sticky small humans and this weekend I woke up with a Pomeranian on my head. Last Sunday I woke to the usual sounds of the kids shrieking with either laughter …

As within, so without

Last weekend Norm did a lot of prep for a trip to Switzerland. He was up on Sunday and ready to go to the airport when he received an email from his hotel and noticed they referred to different dates. Luckily this triggered him to check his tickets and see that he flew on Monday, …

Whispers To The Wind

The days just sort of morph into each other when you have newborn babies in the household. Much like the newest member in the family, your days seem to be consume, expel, wash, and sleep in a cycle. You just try to keep the dishes maintained and a clear path through the chaos so that …

It Takes A Village

Every year we end up having to buy an extra suitcase for all of the Christmas gifts I have ordered for everyone, but this year we had our limit of luggage and weight. We thought we had plenty of space until the last week when we (and by 'we' I mean Norman) finished up packing …

The Balance

This has been a really hard week for our family. It has not helped that the weather has been stifling hot and that it got up to 30℃ on Monday. Sometimes it was even too hot to sit outside as there was not a breath of wind. It makes me feel lethargic and sludgy. Last …

Dope Dopamine

Typical of the Mother City, the weather has been erratic all week. We had several days of really severe winds. Then we had several days of intense heat, it was 31℃ on Tuesday. That evening I sat outside at the back and took advantage of the weather finally cooling off a bit. The cats and …

Healing Intuition

I mentioned in last week's post that I was attending a workshop held by my friend Tamlyn. There were 5 of us there so a nice size group without feeling like you were 'performing' for a crowd and could not be vulnerable. Now I am going to go down the rabbit hole of the meaning …

Nurturing Touch & Sound

Do you ever have one of those days that just feels blissfully perfect from start to end? I did last Saturday. First of all the weather was clear so I could pray to the 7 Directions outside on my hill when I woke up. Then I attended our women's group from 9:00 until 12:30 and …

Understanding Different Types of Intuition: Insights, Symbols, and Sensations

I briefly mentioned the Intuition workshop I attended last weekend, but I have now had a bit of time to sit with the info and absorb it. There was too much info to cover it all, but I am working through it and relating it to my own experiences where possible. Obviously the source of …
