Principesa Pink

[Ella (left) and Pink (right). Why “Principesa”? Well Pink has always been a little Princess, and I love Pavarotti singing Nesun Dorma, and the lyrics refer to principesa – I have since realised it’s principessa in Italian, principesa in Spanish, but hey ho, the link has been shared!] I love writing but it can be […]

Missing Niala

September, 2023 How the chickens saved my life (part 2). You can read part one here. I have three chickens. I donā€™t have favourites, but each of my girls holds a very special place in my heart. If I was a chicken, I would be Niala. Noisy Niala. Exuberant, childish, enthusiastic. Niala is the little […]

Plain Jane and No Nonsense

Today my motherā€™s body travels in a little wooden box to be turned into ash. I donā€™t feel emotionally attached it, in theory, I have no attachment to her body, her soul has long departed. I imagine Mum already crashing headlong into her new, or, depending on your beliefs, her real life, in the non-physical. […]

Overjoy

In the Emotion Code, overjoy is defined as ā€œintense delight elation which is too overpowering for the body; joy that is a shock to the systemā€. Emotions get trapped because we donā€™t process them, either because itā€™s too traumatic or simply because we get interrupted. Generally itā€™s only negative emotions that get trapped in the […]

Turn the Other Cheek

  My beautiful friend and colleague created her own healing modality. Yes, just like that. Thatā€™s the sort of folk I hang with. And sheā€™s written book. Sally Heidtke (sallyheidtke.com). Her modality is “Attracting Joy” and her book is ā€œBe Infiniteā€. Itā€™s annoyingly beautifully written. I say annoyingly because there are a hundred million self […]

Feeling Love

  I had been doing a course on self-love with Eva Beronius. Iā€™d love to summarise it for you but itā€™s already a couple of months ago and since then Iā€™ve been through another rollercoaster of learning and experience, and it would be hard to pinpoint what I learned when, as it all merges and […]

Miss Understood

Itā€™s becoming apparent that becoming Danielleā€™s featured practitioner was not, as I expected, an incredible opportunity to grow my business and deepen my intuition but instead (or rather as well as) an opportunity for me to have another meltdown. As I struggle with wanting success so badly, my cast-in-stone beliefs that it can never happen […]

Facing Fear

I sit on the brink of greatness and I feel sick. My unworthiness is coming in waves. After years of this work I feel like I shouldnā€™t be feeling like this. Iā€™m removing heart walls* every other day but I wake up in a state of heightened anxiety most mornings. I know how to calm […]

No bad decisions

Like most of my subjects I have a wave of inspiration and spend an hour writing in my head, trying to drop off to sleep but too involved in my narrative to sleep, too invested in bedtime to get up and put it to paper. And then the next day itā€™s gone. Vague wisps of […]

Enter the Chickens…

August 2018 How the chickens saved my life (part I) This blog post is dedicated to Annie, my mentor, who first encouraged me to write about my chickens. We had 5 ex-battery hens ā€“ we got them in September 2017 after a serious of seemingly random events led us to them. I’d fancied chickens for […]
