Back home now after a jampacked weekend with family. What a lovely time it was too although now I feel a bit jetlagged from the various mostly exertive (but fun!) activities. This used to be a scary moment for me. But this time not so. By now i'd be experiencing anxiety about overdoing it, fretting… Continue reading Kind of tired
Following the excitement of yesterday I spent the evening doing some work on shaping the space and how to give it a bit of form and structure. I had one of those nights where I looked up from the computer and found it was midnight. Oops. Luckily I haven't done that very often so once… Continue reading Summer-time downtime
Unlearn what you have learnt...unknow what you know...be still...be silent... If you are consciously working on your own spiritual development, following the path to enlightenment,awakening or whatever phrase suits your experience, you will have come across these Zen like spiritual teachings. When i read them and embrace the words I feel a sense of peace… Continue reading Meditations on progress
The Sun is shining and everyone is out in London town enjoying that precious work week ending drink. Myself included. I might not be operating a conventional space but it doesn't mean I want to dismiss all conventions! There's something quite wonderful about taking time to celebrate the end of working week even when your… Continue reading Feeling Friday
To finish our Virgo based trilolgy today was writing models. Astro-rocks style. My intuition guided me to read some different perspectives on astrology by two astrologers whose approach I resonate with - Stephen Arroyo and Howard Sasportas. Along with another favourite, Liz Greene, they take a different view to traditional astrology and talk about astrology… Continue reading Astro-Rocking
A bit of a different day today from what has become my new normal routine as I was back at my old HR workplace handing over to the current incumbent. This is something I had offered before I left and has been a bit of a shadow. So before my meditation this morning I felt… Continue reading Back in time
Work progress has continued its comfortable pace today - slow, steady and moving forward. I have arranged my first official meeting to talk to a support organisation about how they can help and I am continuing to draft out my thoughts in some form of (dare i say it) plan. But that's not what I… Continue reading Owned
I woke up with a rather tired and achy body today. I may have overdone things a wee bit at the weekend after spending all day out walking around town on Saturday and most of the day wedding planning on Sunday. It also occured to me that since starting this new life I haven't given… Continue reading Crystallising down-time
I woke today with a feeling of expanse and freedom. Nothing has changed on the surface in the last 24 hours but whatever the shift was at the time of the solar eclipse is definitely working its way through. A number of people have wondered out loud over the last few months why I needed… Continue reading Faith and Freedom
All done. Said goodbye to my work, my work family and my HR identity. I feel so grateful that this last year has been so full of love, warmth and care in my 9-5 life. Just the send off for the next chapter. That open-hearted group of people might not realise it but their interest… Continue reading Fulham Farewell
