a new year, a new decade. what will 2020 bring? perhaps it is ageing wisdom that makes me reflect on roller coaster years and the realisation that this. is. life. the ups, the downs, the fear, the exhilaration, the twists that you didn't see coming. i don't feel a sense of longing for the time when things will be perfect. but a desire to be present in this circus life and appreciate the simple beauty and blessings that each day holds. my hope and prayer is that whatever the year holds, that i will know light and inner strength and the support of my tribe to thrive amidst it all

We often think of kindness as something that we offer to others. A way of extending love and hospitality, creating ripples for a healthier and happier community. I would like to encourage you to also consider; kindness to ourselves. Because at the end of the day; none of us are perfect. We all make mistakes, miss the bar and drop the ball from time to time. It’s actually part of life as a humming bean. We do not have to have it together all of the time and we shouldn’t expect it of ourselves (or others). As we show gracious kindness to ourselves, we learn to accept our flaws and quirks, and allow others to be ok with theirs.
