Ever wondered if you have a spirit animal that’s there to help and guide you? I know I did.

There are times in life when we realise we’ve been holding on too tightly – to a grudge, to pain, to a version of the past that no longer serves us. Maybe someone hurt us and never acknowledged it – maybe it was something very obvious that happened. And maybe, just maybe, we’re still replaying that moment in our heads, wondering what we could have done differently, seeking revenge or avoiding situations altogether.

I had been inspired by “Jonathan Livingston Seagull” a few years earlier, and that had set me on a […]

Earth Day Is Coming: A Gentle Invitation To Honour Our Planet
Every April, people around the world turn their attention to something we often take for granted: the Earth beneath our feet. Earth Day, celebrated annually on 22nd April, is a global moment of awareness, reflection, and reconnection. It’s a time to honour the planet we live on, the one we’re made from, and the one that sustains us, even when we forget to notice, and I urge everyone to join in with this event this year. Earth Day isn’t just about policies, petitions or eco-campaigns (although all of those matter). To me, it’s also about energy, awareness, and intention. And […]
