TO LEAD WITH LOVE
Type A behaviour was my addiction. I survived on a high level of adrenalin and internal friction. Over- doing was my number one affliction Incessant pushing created tension And greater personal restriction. The drive towards the promised cultural depiction Led me, in surprise to less connection And sadly to my spirit’s eviction. My mind had […]
Every year, there is a sign up at one of my favourite beaches, announcing that a seal or several elephant seals are moulting. We are asked to not get too close. To give these females their space. Catastrophic moulting is when a seal beaches herself on dry land in order to slough off her old […]
Knowledge is wisdom stuck in the head….waiting to seep into the rest of the body. It’s voice can be loud. You do not always need to speak it or heed it. Wisdom is full blown knowing in the body. Especially in the heart. It’s voice might be softer. And yet its message more powerful.
Blind spots, biases and beliefs. Why are these so important? We need to have an understanding of these 3 Bs in ourselves first, and then in others. These are often hidden, not the first to be seen. Blind Spots We can easily lose agency when we are blind to our blind spots. We are then […]

Embracing looks to me like arms and heart wide open Ready to receive the myriad gifts of life. Welcoming the inFORMation. Pulling towards. A softening into. Bracing against looks like arms crossed in front of heart. Keeping out the good and the bad. The happy and the sad. A hardening against. Pushing away.
