Spring Equinox & New Moon Guidance & Ritual
Today is Spring Equinox and the sun is shining brightly here at La Girouette. Over the next 24 hours there is also a New Moon in Aries. Why not harness this very special and dynamic energy to set your intentions and allow rebirth in your life?
Take Me, Use Me
I have been living.
Whole-heartedly.
Sucking the marrow out of life.
Watching Spring burst into life.
One Body, Many Brains
I truly love the brain in my head. It is an amazing organ and I am so grateful that it is in good health. It does such a great job. However, it is not my only brain…
Trust is the antidote to fear
Through my virtual connections with friends all over the world during the last couple of weird months this pandemic has shown me that we humans are divided into two very clear groups….those who trust and those who do not trust.
What to do with a Glut of Courgettes /Zucchini
It is the first week of August and our second summer here at La Girouette is in full swing. We learnt a lot from our
The Myth of Self-Care
For me, self-care is not just something I commit an hour a week to. It is a philosophy for how I live my life and a way of being.
Spring Clean Your Life
It is not always easy to lie back and trust that the Universe has things under control but being a gardener has taught me so many lessons in terms of there being a season for everything and also about the importance of planting the seeds, protecting them, nurturing them and trusting that they will grow.
Disconnect to Reconnect
Living here in this much less ‘switched on’ environment has shown me how unhealthy it is for us humans to be digitally connected all the time but it has also helped me to find my balance with it all.
So here are some of the simple but highly effective positive habits which I have put in place to support my own well-being in this fast-paced digital age.
My Camino
I may not be a true pilgrim (yet!) but el Camino de Santiago has definitely guided a lot of my life over the last 18 months.
The Healing Power of Conscious Relationships
Eoin and I have been together for 9 years and we are still deepening in love each day.
Nous sommes arrivés chez nous!
It has been just over a month since I last wrote a blog and it has flown past in a blur of buying a new car, planning our move, packing, loading, cleaning, moving, unloading, unpacking and settling in to our beautiful new home here at La Girouette. We have now been here for 2 weeks and I am SOOOOO happy as I sit here in the heart of this sweet house writing these words.
In Search of Balance
I have never been very good at doing things in moderation. I am an all-or-nothing-kind-of-gal! If there are chocolates in the house, they get eaten. If the bottle of wine is opened, it gets drunk. If I fall in love, I jump in with both feet. You get the picture! I have a pretty addictive personality and, up until recently, the only way I could really manage my addictions was with abstinence. But, for me, living a good life is really all about finding and keeping my balance. How to do that when surrounded by so much temptation?
