I’m part time single parenting a single child in a small town. It’s nothing like when I was growing up. I had mum and dad, 2 siblings, no technology and the family only had one car. It was used by dad going to work. We walked or biked everywhere, on our own, from an earlyContinue reading “Parenting, Socialising and WORK”

It’s spring in New Zealand, the blossom trees are full of pink and white flowers. Together with yellow and creamy white daffodils and the birds chirping it’s a reminder of new things to come. When I’m outside in the sunshine and I move my body I feel part of something bigger coming to life. IContinue reading “Winter bugs, self-care of thoughts”

The system of living in a home in New Zealand is likely the same as elsewhere in the world. On my recent trip to Germany and the USA I realised, yes, it’s the same: One rents a house and fills it up with stuff. Or one buys a house and fills it up with stuff.Continue reading “Houses and Homes”

Reading about the storm that uncovered a sealed up landfill site, blowing rubbish from 50 years ago across a riverbed on the West Coast of New Zealand. https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/114326700/volunteers-race-to-clear-rubbish-in-fox-river-before-spring-floods Pondering if the volunteers were to take photos of the packaging that shows up and constantly fed it into Social Media. Would companies involved take some responsibilityContinue reading “Rubbish and Responsibility”

The 200 hour yoga training I did in March this year introduced me to non-duality. Simply said: everything is, as in there’s only one and not two. Two creates opposites, like good or bad. Every day I’m trying to detach a bit more from forming dualistic opinions because they usually are based on thoughts comingContinue reading “Selfish, Selfless and truths in between”

Travelling gives opportunity to escape routines. My routine at home was loose anyway, going with the flow of my son’s school days, a few appointments here and there, catchups with friends and classes available at my yoga studio. For the last year I have not worked in the traditional sense of having a job, office,Continue reading “On Consistency and Stagnation”

I’ve been drifting. Not in a motorcar on a dirt road but within myself. A three week intensive Yoga immersion saturated my brain with information and self-talk. I was supposed to become a capable teacher of yoga, that’s what I paid money towards, right?! Turns out it’s a much longer road, not really a surprise…Continue reading “On Learning more and knowing less”

My attitude to Love has shifted in the last few years. Why I thought love is like in Hollywood movies is another story. It’s hard to say what was wrong with my attitude to love but what’s easy to say is that now it’s …. easy. Maybe it’s the regular Yoga practice that helped meContinue reading “Love as a state”

Real life conversations are one of my favourite things. To hear and understand what makes people tick and how a life is lived. Every encounter lets me look at my own life. In the past I probably compared my life to other’s lives and judged it in a way that made a stand. “I wouldContinue reading “Being Grateful”
