Sometimes wisdom arrives on wings...

And it occurs to her:

"If a tiny dragonfly can be that perfectly made... maybe I am also perfectly made. Maybe there is something watching out for us all."

Where do you find your reminders? What tiny, beautiful thing calls you back to yourself?

The Wise Ones: Magical Messages from the African Bushveld — coming soon.

23/04/2026

Today is World Book Day — and today, I finally get to tell you about mine!
Deep in the South African bushveld, where the moon rises like a pearl over the acacia trees and dragonflies dance above the river like tiny flying jewels, a young elephant named Eloise sits alone.
She asks too many questions. She doesn't fit in. Her brother is cruel, her mother too busy, and the other young elephants just want to play games she doesn't understand. She feels invisible. Broken. Like she is too much and not enough, all at the same time.
But the wind is whispering. And the dragonflies are waiting.
What begins as one brave step across a forbidden river becomes a journey that changes everything. Guided by four ancient Wise Ones — Sophia the great Baobab Mother, Luna the Moon Goddess, Aurora the Sun Angel, and the Wind itself — Eloise discovers a truth that was inside her all along. Along the way she finds friends who know exactly what it feels like to not belong. None of them fit in. Together, they belong.
The Wise Ones: Magical Messages from the African Bushveld is a story about the magic that lives inside all of us — in the questions we're afraid to ask, in the parts of ourselves we've been taught to hide, in the wisdom that has been whispering to us our whole lives.
All we have to do is listen.

The Full Pink Moon rises tonight in Libra. 🌕
She has one question for all of us:
Where are you overgiving — and where have you forgotten how to receive?
For those of us who learned early that love had to be earned, receiving can feel unsafe. This moon is here to gently, lovingly challenge that.
Here in the southern hemisphere, autumn is already doing her quiet work — the leaves are letting go, the light is softening, and something in us knows it is time to turn inward. This full moon is asking us to do the same.
Release what has been heavy.
Release what has not been reciprocal.
Release the version of yourself that kept shrinking to keep the peace.
You are allowed to be held.
You are allowed to rest.
You are allowed to receive. 🌿
Let the full moon do what full moons do — illuminate what you have been carrying in the dark, so you can finally set it down.

Last week I shared something I had been sitting with for a long time.

And honestly? I wasn't sure what was going to happen when I hit post.

What did happen — most of it — was extraordinary. So many of you reached out, privately and publicly, with such love and such kindness. Messages from people I know well, and from complete strangers, telling me that something in what I wrote gave them permission to feel their own feelings. That they had finally been able to name something they had been carrying for years. That they felt less alone.

That is exactly why I wrote it. And I am so grateful.

— ✦ —

I also want to be honest about what else happened — because this is a space for honesty.

There were a few private messages that were unkind. And there have been some difficult conversations with people in my own life who read the piece as an attack on my past rather than as an act of healing for my future.

I have sat with that. I have felt it. And I have come back to this:

Brené Brown has a quote she borrows from Theodore Roosevelt that goes something like this — "if you are not in the arena getting your ass kicked, your feedback is not something I need to consider."

The people in my life who are doing the work — who are willing to look honestly at themselves, to sit with discomfort, to choose growth over comfort — those people understood what I wrote. Because they know what it costs.

Sharing your healing story is not a performance. It is not a takedown. It is not a weapon. It is an act of courage — one that asks a great deal and offers everything.

The people who are not in the arena — who are watching from the cheap seats, sending private messages they would never say out loud, or deciding that my healing is somehow an accusation — I say this with love: that is about you, not about me.

— ✦ —

I am not going to stop telling my truth. Not because I am brave, but because the silence cost me too much for too long.

And if my truth helps even one person feel less alone in theirs — then every difficult conversation, every unkind message, every friendship that requires renegotiation, is worth it.

— ✦ —

If something in last week's post landed for you — if you recognised yourself in the exhaustion, the hypervigilance, the not-quite-feeling-safe-in-your-own-body — I want you to know that there is a path through it.

Not a perfect one. Not a fast one. But a real one.

Reiki, therapeutic aromatherapy, and honest, compassionate conversation are what I offer at Dragonfly Healing. A space where you do not have to perform wellness or pretend to be further along than you are. A space where your nervous system can finally begin to understand that it is safe to rest.

You don't have to keep surviving alone. 💛
