    We often ignore signs from our body when it is telling us that something is draining us. It means having to look at relationships and situations that we may have outgrown and this terrifies us. We do love our comfort zones even if doesn’t bring us joy. In order to elevate your consciousness, you need to face what no longer works, you are not…

    Dr. Maya Angelou said “Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.” We spend too much of our time being the motivator, cheerleader and support system for the people we care about.

    A post from 21/1/2019

    This poem came to me after my meditation the other day. It wanted to be heard and today to be shared. Many older people complain about their adult children having no time for them.

    Another important post from 2018 🌟

    “It’s easy to talk the talk, but can you walk it too. Many people say they don’t care about the Certificates or awards their children receive, but what happens when it actually doesn’t happen.
