How to rise up when life gets busy and messy

August 25, 2017 By Karen Main Leave a Comment

Journal

“How are you?’  We ask and get asked this question countless times each day. And when we answer we tend to focus on the area of our life that’s concerning us most. I have so many reasons to be jumping for joy each and everyday, and I know it. Yet when I’m caught in a […]

How to be giving, without exhausting yourself

April 12, 2017 By Karen Main Leave a Comment

Everyday I meet many more gorgeous women who are…. Super Loving. Extra Caring. Really prone to putting everyone else first. They’re committing to more, even when they’re collapsing in a heap from exhaustion most nights. They’re pushing beyond the warning signs, ignoring the wisdom offered by their bodies, and soldiering on even when nagging illness […]

I’m not someone who goes with the flow easily, and yet it is when I am in the flow that I feel most alive and happy. You see I worry, I worry a lot. I worry about my choices and my actions and what they are creating. I worry about the future my children will have, I worry […]

The surprising moment I reignited my childhood wonder

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 […]

What it means to be a Mum

Mum Quote

“It is cold and wet, Dark and sad. I don’t want to get out of bed. It is hard, I am tired, my body hurts. These thoughts won’t leave my head. One foot, now the other, Taking my time. Being kind to myself today. The shower rinses off, The grime from sleep. My crustiness now […]

What kind of busy are you?

Busy - Quote

The colour was perfect, the size was all wrong.  I wanted one. I looked around for a sales assistant. She was busy folding clothes.  I stared hoping she might look up. She finished her folding and moved to the counter, another pile of clothes there to put away. She was busy. She was so busy she […]
