River of Denial

This week I heard a term which really resonated with me. Once again I cannot remember where I heard it, but the theory is that the reason that we cannot see the future impact of the actions or decisions we make today is due to 'dissociation from our future selves'. So we struggle with visualising …

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 …

Gardening Memories: A Grandmother’s Legacy

One of my key memories with my Grandmother is the time we spent in the garden. Or 'the yard' as she called it, despite her house sitting on 20 acres of land. My Grandmother Rena was full of superstitions and 'old wives tales' and I wish I had taken the time to write them all …

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 …

Keen, Mean and Full of Caffeine

I spent all of last Sunday doing my favourite things: bird watching and faffing about my garden. I took wild iris seed pods from the pool area and crumbled the pods and scattered the seeds in another area that is very shady and full of tree roots, so not much grows there. Let's see what …

A Little Shift to the Left

You know when you were a kid and you were on holiday and you had that 'summer feeling' where your skin felt salty and tight from chlorine or sea water? Sitting with damp swimsuits on the chair cushions and knowing you will regret it later after you have changed and you get your new clothes …

Being Vulnerable

Why do strangers feel like it is acceptable to touch others? I am not good with random strangers touching me. I am not even good with people I know touching me if I am not prepared for it or fond of them. On Monday I went with Norm to the hospital as he was having …

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 …

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/ …

The Wildcard

In my last post I mentioned our new Social Club and how excited I was about it. We met on last Saturday afternoon and I arrived a bit after 1pm as we had to stop and pick up snacks at the shop. I always like to take something gluten free just in case. I had …
