Focus, energy, and finding your sweet spot.

It snuck up on me as I watched Madame Secretary, seeing Tea Leonie glide across the screen in her power suit I felt a twitch of desire. I stroked my arms remembering that feel of a suit jacket. I curled my toes, recalling that teetering feel of standing nervously in heels while presenting at a meeting. […]

The greatest question to ask before going into your kitchen.

Desire Map

It was only a few years ago I found myself in a rut. I was going through the motions of a busy and yet unfulfilling life. It was not like anything was stand out wrong, in fact my life was a blessed one, and yet this sense of dissatisfaction tinged most of my days. Not enough […]

You wake feeling blah. You lie there and think of the day ahead. The schedule is full and there is not much in it for you. There is washing piling up, and you have a shift at work. You cannot remember the last time you went for a walk, let alone made it to the […]

From frustration to connection and using Desire as my guide?

The Desire Map

I struggled in the door my hands full of shopping and headed straight for the kitchen, both kids trailing along behind me. As I filled cupboards they unpacked school bags.

How fear and desire can lead to a life that feels good

Desire Map

As swiftly as I was crossing that last task off my To Do list I was beginning to write a new list for tomorrow. There was nothing unusual about this moment, it was what I did everyday, and yet this day was different. I lingered, I took more notice. Realising, that even once everything is done and complete, I automatically began anticipating […]

How do you Get MORE out of your existence? I read this question over at MoveNourishBelieve. It resembles a question I asked myself 12 years ago. You see back then MORE meant do, do, do and believe me I did, did, and did. I could dazzle you with an exhausting list of daily, weekly monthly […]
