Ever been to a workshop, yoga class, meditation class, a modern healing modality? Often they ask you to visualise. And while that may seem simple to some, after teaching yoga for 12 years I can tell you that not everyone is confident of their ability to do this. Not everyone lying on the yoga mat beside you in Savasana, can simply visualise from verbal prompts.

Interests, passion projects, aka ‘HOBBIES’! Yes, I’m kinda gently yelling to you about hobbies. I wrote a little about it on Instagram here but I’m going to dive a bit deeper because I don’t know about you but somedays I feel that we really have to hone a craft before we can even dare to call it a hobby.

What are you ‘FOR ’?

What do you LOVE?

What kinds of friends do you like?

Do you like texts or calls? (me, I’m BOTH!)

What values are you down to talk about?

Do your values show up in your day-to-day life?

What do you stand for?

This year to help with my return to full health (no frosho & no broken foot), I started following a few inspiring ladies on Instagram. And you know how that rabbit hole goes, more & more started popping up. Loving the alga-rhythm for this right now.

Like this sweet altar tucked in a Venetian lane, we get better with age. We get better with the years, with introspection, with reflection, with intention.

‘Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards’ Soren Kierkegaard.

I remember vividly the beginning of my understanding of how to meditate or work with a poem. I’d enrolled in a 30 hour meditation course on a yoga book that I loved called The Radiance Sutras, and yes, its every bit as divine as the title suggests.
