I had a list of a few deep and meaningful topics I might blog about this week, when a trip to the woods led to a mushroom fascination that has gripped me so magnificently I had to write about it! (Sorry if you wanted deep and meaningful, but you’re getting mushrooms). The mushrooms may have … Continue reading Mushroom Madness!

The place to Be
There’s a place beneath the surfaceA seat that holds your soulA place where nothing shakes youA place where you are wholeA place of deep contentmentA place that fits just like a gloveA place that feels like coming homeA place that’s filled with love I was reading through some of my old journals this morning and … Continue reading The place to Be
Do me a favour: passing the parcel of good feelings
I’ve been thinking about favours recently, and more specifically how I don’t like asking for them. I’m happy to offer them though, how does that work? It’s all to do with the feel goods. If I ask for a favour then I can feel indebted, and that doesn’t feel good, but if I give one, … Continue reading Do me a favour: passing the parcel of good feelings
Golden
I journal diurnal the thoughts from my head Set down on the page I put them to bed Tuck them in tight and kiss them goodbye As they settle for slumber with soft sleepy eyes No more dancing or twirling or spinning around No more pulling the rug from up off the ground My thoughts … Continue reading Golden
Put it on a fridge magnet: rules to live by
My mind has been coming up with all sorts of slogans lately, the kind that should be made into a crocheted wall hanging, or a fridge magnet. Being no good at crochet and having no magnets in the immediate vicinity, I decided to share them with you lovely people. They’re nothing new here, more a … Continue reading Put it on a fridge magnet: rules to live by
Red Kite

The Reluctant Shaman
There was a reluctant shaman, an elephant was her guide She tried her best to deny it, but elephants are hard to hide A trunk would tap her on the shoulder when she was in the shower with the solution to a problem she’d been working on for hours A soft trumpet in the half … Continue reading The Reluctant Shaman
Embracing the chaos: going with the flow when nothing seems to be flowing
It’s the summer holidays, and after the craziness that is the end of a school year, my family find ourselves thrust into endless days with no routine (a place we longed for but now we’re here don’t know quite what to do with). We’re all feeling a bit discombobulated (love that word!) But I’m trying … Continue reading Embracing the chaos: going with the flow when nothing seems to be flowing

Keeping it simple (with the help of meditation)
I believe that life can be simpler than we often allow it to be. I like to over complicate my life with long to-do lists that grow but seldom shrink, eventually leading me down a spiral of despair when the realisation hits that I don’t have enough time to do it all (why do we … Continue reading Keeping it simple (with the help of meditation)
