🧘‍♀️ Our Bodies, Our Sanctuaries

Following up on why movement matters, I’ve been reflecting on the deepest reason we show up for ourselves: to build a true sanctuary within.

Our bodies carry the stories of our lives—our joys, our challenges, the beautiful seasons of change, and every lesson learned. Too often, we treat them like projects to be fixed, rather than sacred spaces to be honoured.

Changing our perspective from fixing to fostering may be thatgentle shift we need. Thinking of our body as a sanctuary means we may approach it with reverence and gratitude. This shift coulf change everything:

Fuel becomes nourishment, not just calories.

Movement becomes a form of self-care, not just a burn.

Rest becomes necessary recovery, not a luxury or a failure.

When we create this sanctuary, we’re not just strengthening muscle; we’re reinforcing the walls of our mental and emotional well-being. We’re creating a safe, strong, and vital place to live out our best future.

Remember, you are the guardian of this space. Treat it with the fierce, tender love it deserves. Every choice you make to care for your body is an act of deep self-respect.

✨ Your body is the only home you will ever truly own. Make it sacred.

🤸‍♀️ Movement Matters

After talking about strength being a form of self-love, I wanted to focus on the act of showing up for ourselves—because every single step counts.

For a long time, the word 'exercise' felt like a chore or a punishment. Learning to call it movement though, somehow changes everything. Call it whatever helps encourage movement for you.

Movement isn't about crushing a workout; it's about checking in with your body. It's the gentle walk, the stretch before bed, the slow dance in the kitchen, or yes, lifting those weights. It’s simply honouring the incredible machine you live in.

It doesn’t matter if you can only manage five minutes or fifty. What matters is the consistency and the intention behind it. When you make movement non-negotiable, you are investing directly in your joy, your cognitive health, and your longevity.

Let's reframe how we see our bodies. They aren't meant to be punished; they are meant to be cherished and moved.

✨ Movement is medicine. Movement is gratitude. Movement is self-care.✨️

🌿 Strength is a Form of Self-Love 🌿

Lately I’ve been reflecting on us women, our bodies move through such beautiful seasons from puberty to motherhood, tor some—then from pre-menopause to post, and everything in between. I’ve learned that strength training isn’t just about physical power… it’s about reconnecting with yourself on every level.

Whether you lift light or heavy, begin young or later in life—what matters most is starting. Movement becomes medicine. Strength becomes your anchor. And every time you choose to show up for yourself, you’re honouring your body, your future, and your well-being.

I lift because I want to age with vitality, move with ease, and feel deeply alive in my body—no matter what chapter I’m in.

✨ Start where you are. Breathe. Move. Feel your strength return.

Menopause isn’t a decline — it’s a passage, a path, a change, a call to rise stronger, and return to self.

After reading Dr. Vonda Wright’s Unbreakable, I made a commitment to myself — to lift weights again and build the kind of strength that carries me through the next season of life. I've started and stopped numerous times over the years, due to injury, busy-ness, no motivation, excuses etc., but started again.

For women, especially as we go through peri- and post-menopause, strength training isn’t just fitness — it’s medicine. It supports our bones, balances hormones, boosts energy, and reminds us that power has no age limit. ✨

This journey isn’t about chasing perfection — it’s about aging well, staying vibrant, and honouring the body that’s carried us this far, its about being strong enough to support ourselves.

To every woman out there: it’s never too late to start. Strength is freedom, confidence, and longevity. Let’s stay strong, unbreakable, and unapologetically alive. L

Starting again — this time with softness, not pressure.

Writing has always been my safe place — the one space where I can untangle what’s going on inside. It’s cathartic, healing, and sometimes confronting. But I’ll admit it: I’ve started and stopped more times than I can count.

There are days when the words come easily, and others when even a sentence feels heavy. Still, I’m realizing that healing doesn’t need to look perfect — it just needs presence.

So I’m committing to write daily — not to chase inspiration, but to create space for it. To release, reflect, and remember. One page, one paragraph, one honest moment at a time.

Here’s to showing up for the words — and for myself. 🌿

Expanding our minds, our vision, seeing the intricacies beyond one dimension.....

I looked up the word ‘yellow’ the other day.

I found so many shades of yellow that they had been distinguished by words like
gold
honey
daffodil.

I found words like fire and sand and champagne and lemon and sunbeam and I even found a song.

Now imagine someone telling yellow that it’s ‘just yellow’.
When yellow is a sunbeam and a daffodil and fire.
When yellow is a song.

Without yellow, we couldn’t make orange and we couldn’t create green and our world would be far less colourful because of it.

Yellow’s true colours are not limited to one thing.
And neither are yours.

Some days you are dark and fiery and intense.
Some days you are rich and bright and vibrant.
Some days you are buttercups and dandelions and some days you are champagne and a song.
And without you, someone’s life would be far less bright and far less beautiful.

You are you as
yellow is yellow.

And the world needs you.
Because, no matter what you think, you are not ‘just you’.

You are so much more.

💛💛💛

I know I'm not supposed to have favourites, but this is one of mine.

So much truth.....

AS TIME GOES BY

As time goes by,
You will loosen your grip on that rock,
The one you always thought was home,
And you will realise that home is not a place,
It’s a state of mind.
Let it go.

As times goes by,
You will learn to see yourself more clearly,
The girl who was always too much of one thing,
And too little of another, was actually
Everything she needed to be.
Let her out.

As time goes by,
You will let the simple things become the big,
And you will allow the big things to become the simple,
And that readjustment will be,
The day you really start to live,
Let it be.

As time goes by,
You will be forced to say goodbye many times,
And your soft little heart will shatter but,
It will still beat and that will bring you,
All the purpose you need.
Let it beat.

As time goes by,
You will stop choosing wealth over peace,
You will stop choosing money over time,
And you will see that the treasures you need,
Are in the smiles and the laughter.
Let them in.

As times goes by,
The moments you remember when your life flashes past,
Are never the awful memories my friend, it’s the joy,
The summer nights, the lazy days with loved ones,
The midnight chats and the morning hugs,
Let them happen.

Let them all happen.
