The journey of responsibility with myself.
Sometimes we have to open the door and call ourselves home.
Sometimes we have to sit with ourselves at the table.
And invite the hurt to sit with us.
The more we get comfortable with our insecurities, and bring compassion and forgiveness to our process the more we can see what is truly behind the doors in our home. The more we take responsibility for the mess we have left behind the more we can recognize and bring wellness to the ecosystem.
My upliftment comes from not having do it alone.
I have been held in the process, I have been withnessed with love in the moments of anger.
To allow a healthier and peaceful way of operating to come through organically.
I thank you for your journey I know it has not been easy, and I know together we can move through the doors and welcome back her receptive sensual, loving and playfully creative self back ❤️
Let’s share what it means for us to be woman and start here together ❤️
When the luteal phase becomes heavy,
When gravity begins to pull its weight on my body. My thoughts seem to go in a negative direction, and possibility in my life seems unrealistic.
Things I have learnt to become gently responsible for during this sacred time -
My mental space - I write what I feel, meditate, and listen/watch empowering research (personal for me). I avoid myself scrolling or watching disconnective imagery
My energetic space - I ask for space, sleep on my own, ask for support from my partner as my tiredness begins to increase. Schedule myself light but progressive. Move my body through my feelings
My inner space - even though I feel not so inclined to be pretty I take care of myself and give myself routine that makes me feel safe, light stretching in the day, magnesium l threonate for my muscles and sleep, skincare at night, inscense, candles, herbal tea. A romantic space.
Personally, I avoid:
Sharing my thoughts, as I keep these personal to me, and go inward. Other people’s thoughts or opinions can derail my understandings. And I do not want to imprint my negative thought in multiplication. I give time to settle before I seek support (often not needed by then)
Making decisions. In discomfort I often feel a need for a pressure release, through decision making, I have learnt to wait, be with and welcome the discomfort, offer it a tea and listen responsibly to it fully for where it is coming from
Getting massaged, unless from a loved one. It feels to be such a sensitive time and I feel like having another’s energy in communion with mine when I am vulnerably open hasnt felt right. Solo fascial maneuvers are the best for this (human garage)
Eating heavy, but if I do… I let myself fully enjoy to its maximum… I also started chewing 30 times before swallowing and bringing awareness to coating saliva before sending down 🥰
What do you do? I’d love to hear your thoughts ❤️ sharing gives us so much more support and growth together 🕊️
Love you 🌹

I woke up today in tears feeling sad and unsure, feeling a shift inside me…
Missing apart of myself
Today I celebrate all that Mama Africa has given me. There are never words to describe the youth I was given. And today I celebrate with my heart, I have so much gratitude to have learnt to bow down to people, to have fearlessness in my heart in times of stepping up, to bring joy and laughter to times of worry, to dance in prayer
My mama Africa, I feel the tenderness of your heart, the strength your lands and people have embedded me. Your capacity to hold so much reminds me
I thank you for your teachings and I welcome this strength back into my life
There is so much to give thanks even when my heart is conflicted with happenings in the world, with our children…
There is still so much to celebrate in prayer, for the little to go a long way
In this I trust, I trust in me
I trust in me even in my moments of sadness and being unsure
I can celebrate in prayer, in tears, in service
May all the little I do with love find you and come back to me to bring my little and your little, a little further to our children
Thank you for your strength
35th Solar return in prayer,
I love you 🌹
• The power of Unfolding and Measuring your goals •
Break down the Yearly goal
Into Quarterly goals
Into Monthly goals
Into Daily goals
Write them down in a calendar.
Measure the results: causes for success, and causes for missing the goal. You want to always play - play for a goal that is a little bit higher than what you perceive is possible from where you are now… It’s just a game, you might as well play
Implement the strategies to accomplish next weeks goal
Important to have the goal be measurable! Numbers are the most measurable 🙂
• Health is measurable in weight, hormones, blood work
• Business is measurable in income and expenses
• Relationships are measurable through peace and affinity in conversation - you can put a scale. First identify what the scale represents. Your partner/family/colleague can identify the scale with you ☺️
• Areas of self love can be measured in your feeling of peace, presence, overwhelm. And scaled from 1-10.
Create your measurements.
Measure to identify what is working for you based on your unique design. You can try on what has worked for others but it is likely that there is a version that is authentic to you.
The way you can discover your unique , is through the observation of the results you measure ❤️
This avoids becoming overwhelmed or numb, disconnecting from the tasks, being distracted, a nightmare to deal with 😂
And provides presence, empowerment towards your goals, areas in which you can gain support and ask for help, opening for other possibilities in generating your goals, clarity and a peace in knowing your direction and how you could get there moment by moment.

It is great a moment to review and understand how to refine what is truly occupying our mental space. And, to be open to receiving the clarity to release tensions and move forward. Conversations are also greatly supported with the inner peace of clarity.
An exercise supporting me:
Take space, make tea, light an insence, turn off the signal of your phone and play soft sound
Review
What is it that occupies my mind?
What are all the main areas of my life that I feel tension?
What are my true concerns?
What am I not sure how to resolve right now?
What do I see is in the way of me feeling free?
Refine
What is the answers I truly seek that would release the tensions?
What are the actions I can take to have my answers? (It’s it having clear/vulnerable conversation? Is it looking at my statements? Is it having other opportunities of joy, income, inspiration? Is it asking for support? Is it taking a leap I have been wanting to but have fear around?)
Be in the discovery for the clarities these days and be grateful for the opportunity you are giving yourself to grow and expand yourself! The answers often do not come from this excercise. They come from the observation you allow in the coming days and weeks through this honest introspection.
Also PSA:
Sometimes clarity can be triggering, and that’s okay. You can have the empowerment of clarity, and sadness of change at the same time. You can have the clarity to lead and have fear or concern at the same time. You can be clear that you can love someone better, by having a boundary at the same time. This beautiful world is complex, bring grace to your internal compass
I pray this serves you at this time 😌
I love you 🌹
In times of confusion, pain, uncertainty, doubt, fear, discomfort - empowered action is really what we seek. And prayer is your most powerful support system in achieving this.
The most powerful Prayer comes from your heart, from a place of deep and unconditional gratitude. The beloved words ‘Thank You’ carry a vibrational frequency that allows direct access to the purity of your heart.
It is a form of surrender to your experience of life, as it is currently.
It gives the space requested to be with yourself whilst being in complete reverence with all of life, and receptive to the boundless opportunities you have in the sacred arms of God’s love.
It took me sometime to be comfortable with prayer, to feel myself in prayer, to be in commune with the Divine within me and around me. It initially felt like a list I was writing to Santa. Until I began, with gratitude, acknowledging who I am as a child of God, for the possibilities I have had in my life and continue to have, for the relationships I have lived and learned from. I tenderly began to feel my unique and sovereign experience of prayer.
I invite you to come to this temple within yourself, take a few soft and deep breaths here and simply begin with the beloved words Thank You. You will feel a shift within you.
From this heart space ask for gentleness in your souls evolution at this time. Surrender your pain, discomfort, uncertainty, doubt and fear to God and ask for the most appropriate clarity and empowered action in moving forward from your heart space.
You’ve just created yourself as the receptor for miracles 😌🤗
God bless you,
I love you 🌹
Dear Beloveds 🌹 here we are, leave your comments, thoughts questions for me 😊 This work is much more than the simplicity of the words expressed. If you find a recognition of alignment here, it would be my greatest honour to serve you. Love you Love you Love you! 🤗🌹🙏🏼
❤️ I invite you to discover Love for yourself. Outside of your skin, your sex, your culture, your religion, your mind, your childhood, your past. I invite you to discover it newly for yourself. Free from what you think love feels and looks like, free from what you have been taught love to be, free from opinion and evaluation, free from playing safe.
What would you be left with?
@elizabethsenez and I define love as an infinite discovery of freedom to our truest self.

Deep breath in, fuelling with love
Deep breath out, surrendering to grace
I have been connecting more and more to my inner voice through my relationship with my inner child.
This voice is not the one that speaks in reaction to the external world but one that speaks in partnership with love and my inner beauty... For me, inner beauty is opening my heart when I find myself at a time of conflict. It is to see the greatest light in others and myself. It is the understanding that every moment is a gift for me to expand my precious presence on Earth. It is to find and give love to myself in my darkest places. Inner beauty for me looks like actively altering my old beliefs in life to welcome my truest and brightest Self, out to play.
A part of me still wants to have temper tantrums, still wants to blame external factors for my internal unhappiness, still wants to believe I am not as wonderful as some other humans on this planet, and still wants to believe that the world is unfair.
But now, through my inner child I let my inner voice speak, and I listen
Deep breath in, fuelling with love
Deep breath out, surrendering to grace
And I hear, I have something incomplete inside me that is ready to complete into peace and acceptance, I hear that my internal happiness is always with me and I have the power to activate it when I focus inwards, I hear that I am unlike any other human on this planet; I hear that the world is what I create it to be.
This connection of inner beauty, love and truth comes from the voice my inner child carries.
I am feeling called to share this practice with others. So here is my invitation in the mist of sharing my experience and this beautiful picture with you ♥️😏 I am happy to connect further if you feel called to this work. You can write me on here or send me a message.
Sending you warm hugs.
From my heart to yours,
😘✨♥️
What a ride ❤
The last cycle of my life has been expansive in love. Receiving love, giving love, discovering love, learning how I love, what my belief of love has been, the identity I have created of how I should love myself. Every year seems to have a theme and this last one has been about coming face to face with the insecurities I have about opening up my heart.
To allow myself to love the parts of me that feel insecure, the parts of me that have fears of judgement and that judge, the parts of me that have fears of rejection and reject people. Today, I have opened my heart more than ever and there is more to go. As a little girl I have had fears about heart break and these have sneaked into my adulthood. It has been quite the confronting journey to go back into my past and complete the sadness of my little self. But this is the year that I have smiled the most, laughed the most, cried the most, been a child the most, I am experiencing love in the most magical ways. My brain has never worked so fast to repattern, my belief in myself never so strong and my love for myself bigger and ever growing.
Today I express gratitude to myself for the journey, who I am chosing to be, the work I have put into myself, the reaching out to keep discovering and expanding and to remember who I truly am.
I have been surrounded by the most incredible human beings, angels and work to go inwards. I am so grateful for all that I have in my life ❤
28 and its just the begining!! :) Thank you for your wishes and love 🙏🏾😊❤ I love you 📷 The amazing @celine.kirk ❤🙏🏾

Something I have been turning to is my inner child, my joy, my excitement, my playfulness.
I have been allowing myself to love myself deeper and deeper recently. Right through the judgements and evaluations I have of myself. The relationship I am nuturing now is connecting me to the woman I truly know myself to be in this life.
I recognise myself as a woman that is doing her best, and that is sexy, elegant, loving, healing, intelligent, inspirational, funny, playful, and kind along the way.
A woman that is committing to her expansion because she is in this life to be of service to herself and others.
I share this because I find myself moved when writing this, as this description is what I see when I see women of the world. This is what I feel when I think of all the women that raised me, all the women I am surrounded by today and all the women I watch from a distance.
I love you, you teach me, you heal me, you guide me, you give me space to be crazy, wierd and childlike. I am discovering my epic dynamic feminen self more through you. And I am ever so grateful ❤
Happy international women's day to everyone 😘 😘 🌸💖🌸💖🌸💖🌸💖🌸💖🌸💖
