Throughout our journey on this planet, your heart will undoubtedly break, a reality that comes hand in hand with the gift of feeling deeply.
Initially, the pain of loss and disappointment can feel overwhelming, as if the world has shifted beneath your feet and your carefully laid plans have unraveled.
Key figures in your life may vanish through unexpected circumstances, whether it's the finality of death or a choice that leads them away from you.
Sometimes, their decisions create ripples that affect not just themselves, but everyone who cares about them. Yet, amidst this heartbreak, it is essential to hold on.
The universe has a way of revealing beauty, wisdom, and strength even in the darkest of times.
As you navigate through the shadows of grief, you will emerge not just intact, but transformed, with deeper realisation of life’s fragility and its enduring resilience.
Heartbreak may cut deep, but it also opens the door to profound growth .. leaving you with the ability to carry on forward, taking with you, a deeper understanding...

To wish you and your families, including the furred, scaled, feathered, haired, and shelled, members, a most joy-filled and peaceful, festive period.

Thank you to all of my students, a beautiful year of learning, laughing, crying and supporting each other, with, important friendships developed.

Thank you to my clients. I always learn so much through these interactions. I thank you for your receptivity, support and enduring love for your companions.

For some, a difficult year I might say, with challenges and many who have faced loss.

For those who have lost companions be they in human form or in animal form, they are only just a moment away, standing beside always, supporting, continuing to love us and spurring us on in our endeavours.

Thank you to people who follow this page, I am so very grateful.

I wish you all, the most wonderful blessings of the season, comfort where needed, smiles in your joy and most of all, love in every moment to you all.

Life is a beautiful journey of discovery, where our hearts and minds are constantly seeking the right path to happiness, love, and acceptance.
Along the way, we search for kindred spirits, those who truly understand us and show they care.
This journey is not just about finding companionship; it’s also about uncovering our purpose and using that knowledge to lift ourselves and others.
From a young age, we all strive to find our special place where we can grow and shine in what we do best.
For some, this happens early, while others may wander for years before finding their niche.
Yet, we all have a rightful space on this earth. The miles traveled and years spent searching will lead you to that sense of belonging, where everything aligns and feels like home.
Until then, remember your worth and never settle for less; honour the dreams of that child within you, for they know what you truly deserve ..

YOU ARE NATURE

"There is a reason why walking amongst nature is most people’s best advice when depression strikes.
Because walking in nature is a return to ‘home’.
You are not a lover of nature, or a fan of nature, you ARE nature.
You are as much nature as the trees in your garden and the bees on your picnic.
You were designed to live your days out in the wild with your fellow creatures and plants but progress, humanity, had different plans for us all.
And so we exist day-to-day, in our homes, but never ‘home’.
The quickest route back to self, to inner peace, is bare feet on grass, arms around trees, head in the clouds and heart in a forest.
Put your weary bones in water, whenever you can, smell each flower you see and crumble dirt between your tired-of-typing fingers.
You are nature, go home once in a while.
It will bring you much you didn’t even know you were missing."

Ancient Egyptians built temples for them—and modern science is finally catching up to why they might have been right all along.

The domestic cat isn't just cute. Beneath that soft fur and quiet demeanor lies one of nature's most brilliantly engineered hunters—a creature so precisely designed that scientists still marvel at its evolutionary mastery.

Consider the spine: cats possess extra vertebrae and unique flexibility that allows them to rotate their bodies nearly 180 degrees, twist in midair, and always land on their feet. This "righting reflex" is so sophisticated that it operates in a fraction of a second, a biological gyroscope that seems almost impossible.

Their senses? Extraordinary. In near-total darkness, cats see six to eight times better than humans, their eyes collecting every whisper of light through specialized cells and a reflective layer called the tapetum lucidum—the reason their eyes glow in photographs. Their hearing is equally astonishing, detecting ultrasonic frequencies up to 64,000 Hz, allowing them to hear the heartbeat of a mouse hiding beneath floorboards.

But the real genius is in the integration. A cat's neuromuscular system fires with precision that would shame most Olympic athletes. Their whiskers don't just sense touch—they map entire spaces in three dimensions. Their retractable claws stay razor-sharp because they're only deployed when needed. Even their purr operates at a frequency that promotes healing in bones and tissues.

Beyond the hardware, there's the software: intelligence wrapped in mystery. Cats domesticated themselves thousands of years ago, choosing to live alongside humans while maintaining fierce independence. They read our emotions, respond to our voices, and bond deeply—yet never lose their wild edge. They are simultaneously companion and enigma.

The ancient Egyptians saw something divine in these creatures. They associated cats with Bastet, goddess of protection, fertility, and the home. They mummified them with honors reserved for royalty. Perhaps they understood intuitively what science now confirms: that the cat represents something rare in nature—an animal that perfected the balance between power and grace, wildness and companionship, independence and love.

Four thousand years later, we're still captivated. And maybe that's the most perfect thing about them—they've never needed our worship to know exactly who they are.
