Are You Ready for A Summer of Self & Soul?
It’s been almost a year since I started to take selfies on a daily basis. Almost without realising I developed a practice that has been, quite simply, a soft revolution. And now it’s time to open this practice up to you so that you can experience the gifts it can offer… I’ve written about my selfie practice before, but when I looked back at the post I wrote after only the first week of this practice, I discovered that I had already made one of the most powerful observations of this whole practice… I don’t have to be the person I’ve always been. That there isn’t the fixity of self that I’ve…

You Are Not A Goddess
There’s something you need to know, my lovely. You are not a goddess. And that’s ok. In fact, that’s more than ok. It’s just as it should be. Because… You will mess things up and get it wrong.

You will do things that you won’t be proud of.…

Words that reflect back to us the true and radiant beauty of ourselves in our fullness. What motivates you to bring these — why do you bring them? Because this is how we know god. This is how we know ourselves. This is how we dance with the divine, how we partner our soul’s true purpose –…

Blogging Like No-One Was Reading
On Monday I started a blogging experiment. I didn’t hold any expectations. All I knew was that I’d painted myself into a corner with all the blogging “shoulds” I’d bought into. I’d slipped into believing in everyone else’s thoughts about how you should blog, and I’d disregarded my own. And so I’d stopped blogging. I genuinely had no clue what to blog about. I’d sit down to write a post, and I’d find myself staring out of the window and the ships lining the horizon, the flocking gulls, the changing light as cloud cleaved from cloud, the white crests of waves in the far distance, the multicoloured graffiti on the…
