My personal instagram account bio quote is;
Сɸℓℓεϲτɸʀ ɸẜ ⓜⓞⓜⓔⓝⓣⓢ ƞɸτ ⓣⓗⓘⓝⓖⓢ
I still feel strongly about this quote because it is shown & proved over and over again.
Take the situation that we are all in now!!
When life forces you to slow down & reinforces what actually REALLY matters in life is the present moment, health, loved ones, connection, memory making, the small things and precious ⓜⓞⓜⓔⓝⓣⓢ not ⓣⓗⓘⓝⓖⓢ
When life shows that materialistic objects are NOT what gives you strength to get through ⓢⓣⓞⓡⓜⓢ
They are NOT what is going to help you be a ⓦⓐⓡⓡⓘⓞⓡ of your own destination.
Nor will they bring you long term joy, only momentary joy.
Dont get me wrong we can still have an appreciation and gratitude for certain objects, but true deeper gratitude has to come from ⓛⓞⓥⓔ from ⓗⓔⓐⓛⓣⓗ from ⓒⓞⓝⓝⓔⓒⓣⓘⓞⓝ from ⓔⓜⓑⓞⓓⓘⓜⓔⓝⓣ from ⓑⓔⓘⓝⓖ and from ⓜⓞⓜⓔⓝⓣⓢ
Life without these things would be no life at all.
Enjoy that the world has had to slow down, reflect and just ⓑⓔ

Bill Withers 1938 - 2020
Thank you for your music 💛
We can all use some of the lyrics right now of such a soulful songwriter...
Right now everyone needs to know they have someone to lean on...sunshine or no sunshine ☀️
𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐍 𝐎𝐍 𝐌𝐄
Sometimes in our lives we all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you won't let show
You just call on me brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
You just call on me brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on
If there is a load you have to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up the road
I'll share your load
If you just call me (call me)
If you need a friend (call me) call me uh huh(call me) if you need a friend (call me)
If you ever need a friend (call me)
Call me (call me) call me (call me) call me
(Call me) call me (call me) if you need a friend
(Call me) call me (call me) call me (call me) call me (call me) call me (call me)

💫 When you have a DREAM you can have an ADVENTURE from any place at anytime...💫
Everything you desire is already within YOU...
You just to have tune in...
Embody, Align and give space to creativity 💫
Meditate and move your body to centre and ground yourself..
Open your heart with heart opening sequences 💓♥️💓
Journal to let your hearts desires flow..
And away you go on your adventure...🙌🏼💫🌠💛
What will you be embodying and aligning to??
Where have you lost connection to yourself that you can now tune back in to..??
I would love to know so comment below to bring the adventure in to reality...
Even if it is as simple as reading a book..
My daughter threw herself back into reading the other day..a long lost passion which had been taken over with school work..being at home gave space to reconnect..
It took her a day and a bit to read a thick book...that was her first little adventure...
Since then it's opened up many others...
Adventures can be;
Getting lost in a book..
Writing your own book...
Reconnecting with old passions and dreams (that perhaps in the rat race of life as it were before, can now be rekindled)
A new hobby..
Forgotten about hobbies..
It's up to you..it's YOUR ADVENTURE..💫💛🌠
💕 Wishing my beautiful mum special birthday wishes 💕
She lights up our path to show us the way in life 💕
She paved the way for us to have gratitude and a love of love 💕
To find happiness from 'moments' not 'things', to treasure life & all those we have in it 💕
She is beautiful & strong inside and out 💕
Today is her special day, but everyday with this beautiful soul is a special day to us 💕💫🌠
Happy Birthday Mumsy 🥳💫🎈🌟

Ok,🙊🤭, I know this sounds like a funny statement/question...but seriously decluttering, clearing out & de-energising our mind, spaces & environment, naturally creates spaciousness within the mind & body. And it's from this space that we are much more aware and attuned to our inner self, tuned into our body; making us so much more present, aware & able to sense things & listen to our intuition.
⏩ although we do also have to learn to trust our intuition too 🙌🏼💫✨
⏩ freeing up space gives more spaciousness to enable fresh energy & fresh thinking to happen.
I do daily rituals everyday, incorporating many different aspects of self cultivation, including meditation, mindful movement, journaling, guided meditations, listening to podcasts & self development.
I feel so connected when I do these things that I hate missing any of them off my list (as sometimes happens - but I make a couple of them non-negotiables!) ➡️ 𝐀𝐋𝗪𝐀𝐘𝐒 have 𝐍𝐎𝐍-𝐍𝐄𝐆𝐎𝐓𝐈𝐀𝐁𝐋𝐄𝐒 💕💫
The reason for my above opening statement was that yesterday I cleaned out my whole fridge (& I have a big fridge) I went through every jar & sauce throwing away things...emptied every shelf, took the shelves out & cleaned them...then went back through putting back only what we needed (the essentials & the good stuff) 🙌🏼😍
Just before this we had just been shopping so now had clearer more organised space for all the new ⏩ and this is what happens in the same way when you meditate & clear out your mind, move your body & clear stagnant space & energy.
⏩ clearing space & dispersing stagnant energy allows for fresher, newer energy to come in...which in turn keeps you healthier in
I absolutely love Kung fu panda..🙌🏼 yep sure it's an animated film but really enjoyable and fun to watch 😊💫 cant beat kids films at times, for some light hearted fun, but also in kung fu panda I love many aspects too like tai chi, to meditation & even spirituality. We follow Po on his journey to inner peace 💫☯️
Some of the lessons;
LIVE IN THE PRESENT
Po: Maybe I should just quit and go back to making noodles.
Oogway: Quit, don’t quit? You are too concerned about what was and what will be. There is a saying: yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the “present.”
THERE ARE NO ACCIDENTS
Oogway: There are no accidents.
Shifu: [sighs] Yes, I know. You’ve already said that twice.
Oogway: That was no accident either.
DISCOVER YOUR DESTINY
Oogway: One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it.
LET GO AND NURTURE BELIEF
Oogway: My friend, the panda will never fulfill his destiny, nor you yours until you let go of the illusion of control.
Shifu: Illusion?
Oogway: Yes.
Oogway: Look at this tree, Shifu: I cannot make it blossom when it suits me nor make it bear fruit before its time.
Shifu: But there are things we *can* control: I can control when the fruit will fall, I can control where to plant the seed: that is no illusion, Master!
Oogway: Ah, yes. But no matter what you do, that seed will grow to be a peach tree. You may wish for an apple or an orange, but you will get a peach.
Shifu: But a peach cannot defeat Tai Lung!
Oogway: Maybe it can, if you are willing to guide, to nurture it, to believe in it.
Shifu: But how? How? I need your help, master.
Oogway: No, you just need to believe.
BEAUTY IS FREE
Po: There is no charge for awesomeness… or attractiveness.
BELIEVE YOU'RE UNIQUE
Tai Lung: You can’t defeat me! You… you’re just a big… fat… pan
