My favourite kind of BLUE ✨
Surprise//Shadow//Challenge// This year has been a year of two halves. I feel a lot shame around my depression as I feel I don’t have a right to feel depressed. My life is good, I am lucky and privileged. I have a home, a family and work I am passionate about. But when it bites it bites. My challenge has been working with the shame. Sharing that part of myself more. Asking for help. And being patient and loving with myself. My surprise is that it helps.
Home is where this light is. I bought this Venetian glass chandelier when I bought my first flat in 1995. It’s been with me through marriage, passing of my mother, birth of my son, divorce, single life, breakdowns and breakthroughs and many moves in between. Home now in East London with my man who I celebrate 14 years of togetherness this weekend ❤️
My favourite book so far this year is this ‘The Journey Home’ by Radhanath Swami. An autobiography of a young man following his heart to travel from the US to India. When travel was far more risky. I love reading books about real life adventures and experiences. But this is a true story of really listening and being guided by the heart and the integrity of that.

The best decision I made in 2018 is to take care of my adrenals. Changes had to happen as my physical and emotional well being were crying for help. Sleeplessness, anxiety,fatigue, mood swings - the worst bout of depression I’ve had in years. With the support of my homeopath, nutritionist,shamanic practitioner and good friends the things that weren’t working for me fell away. Swapped wine for water, Yorkshire tea for red bush, flat white for decaf, and yang for yin.
As we move into merry merry season, time can begin to feel like it is accelerating. When moving into a feeling of overwhelm - s l o w d o w n - breathe in for a count of 4 and out for a count of 6 for a few rounds. This helps to quieten down the mind and soothe the nervous system.
