How to transform a sticky, sandy mess into a moment of joy

January 23, 2017 By Karen Main 1 Comment

mess

I often feel as if I’m in a tug of war over the Summer holidays. My heart pulling me back to the couch, to the pool, to the beach…  tugging me to linger, longer with the kids. To watch a movie in the afternoon, while the washing piles up behind the laundry door. To wander […]

What is enough?

What is enough?  I began asking myself this question a few years back. It all began with a particularly wonky morning. I had written a to do list the length of my arm, booked clients for most of the morning and the cupboards were bare, the washing baskets full and the dog was staring longingly at his lead. Super-human […]

There was a time when I believed…..

Needs quote

There was a time when I believed that once I served the needs of others, guilt free time would be created for ME to relax and indulge myself. There was a time when I believed if my in tray was clear, my emails were answered and the demands of my boss were met, there would be time left over to spend on […]

The surprising moment I reignited my childhood wonder

Tree shadow shape

They both raced off ahead, Amidst squeals of pure delight. I wandered happily behind, Draped in glorious Winter sunlight. It’s warmth caressed my skin, A contrast to the breeze. The Winter chill most evident, In the shadow of the trees. I wrapped my arms around, An attempt to block the cold. Heading for the park bench, To […]

Please let me Mum

May 29, 2014 By Karen Main 4 Comments

Please let me Mum, Leave my mess on the floor. Clothes all around, And shoved behind the door. Please let me Mum, Wear pyjamas all day. Sleep in the cubby, Eat breakfast while I play. Please let me Mum, Fill my tea cups with dirt. Mix them with water, What will it hurt? Please let […]

Wayne Dyer Quote

She sat down beside me, I coud see she was blue. Her head in her hands, Was the first clue. While she gazed at the floor, Words slowly tumbled out. “They don’t care enough”, She said with a pout. “Who are they?”  I asked. These ones who don’t care. “My family of course”, No one to be […]

This Mum gig is tricky, confusing at times.

A Mothers Kiss

This Mum gig is tricky, I am not doing it right. I question myself, I feel so uptight. I want to teach and to guide, Preach at you less. Drop the sharp tone, With issues I address. I love you so deeply, Deep down to my core. My thoughts of your future, Lead to this […]
