Imperfect Love Can Be Good

When it comes to love, imperfect can be good.

Why Can Imperfect Love Be 'Good'?

Shirley’s Rebirth

For me, this life has been about recognising parts of myself that I kept so well hidden that I genuinely never knew they existed! I enjoy exploring this, and at times it feels like I’m re- birthing every 5 minutes!

There have been times when I have chosen fresh starts and times w...

I’ve discovered something about myself recently that wiped out a great big lie that I’ve told myself for a long time.

Life never waits- the earth continues to mo...

Regardless of what makes you feel heavy or burdened, it is in your best interest to put the burden down. This does...

What’s Your Message for the Day?

Today is here, and we’re both in it. What’s your message for this day? Do you have one? Or will you wait and see what the day brings you?

You have a choice: you can decide what kind of day to have today and have it, at least mostly, or wait and see what the day giv...

How to Love Your Body

Love your body- a lot has been written and spoken about on this subject.

Do you love your body? Respect its needs and make choices to honour those needs?

Or do you tell it what it needs: how it should look, how it should feel, what it should be able to cope with and impose t...

Trust, Truth and Understanding

Trust- sometimes we may not wish to see, know and especially feel, what is happening to us; the currents running through our lives, the thoughts we hide from and the deeper feelings hidden below. We may hide them from view, shore ourselves up and absorb ourselves in s...
