Gratitude is a Practise
One of my greatest inspirations is Dr Brene Brown. She said “There is no joy without gratitude.” Wow! We can’t experience joy unless we are grateful.

Endurance is necessary and it is golden. Have you ever ran a race, maybe a marathon or maybe the 1500m in high school is the longest you’ve done? Well that’s me. I have (not so great) memories of running or should I say running and walking the 1500m race or the cross country in high school. […]
Self Care in the small things.
This is stunning! The pictures don’t do it justice. Blue sky turning grey to black as the sun goes down and the moon gets brighter. The winter tree makes a silhouette art piece. Then the crackling of the wood fire in the background and cars on the nearby road every so often. What is happening […]
