    Mid week slump

    Oh, how hard is it. The mid week slump. But glass half full right. The week hump is half climbed! I’ve got this. You’ve got this. Take a deep breath, enjoy a short walk – even 5 minutes – and remember why you do this. Be kind to yourself. Drink from a beautiful cup. Go… Continue reading

    It’s Sunday. Sigh.

    And here in Australia, I’ve woken up to Sunday. The final chapter for this week. Should be a day of rest, reflection, and rejuvenation. But Sunday’s are often for errands and chores.

Savour the warmth of morning coffee, the satisfaction of a completed task, or the beauty of a familiar face. Use mindfulness to transform your routine… Continue reading

About Me

I’m 50+ years and I’m not wasting a single day. I’m married, a mum and live near the beautiful Barossa Valley, South Australia. I have lost 40kgs+. I focus a lot on protein and am on a journey of self discovery about gut and brain health. I love travelling, particularly through outback Australia. I enjoy hiking and bush walking. My camera is my phone.I work FT and recently commenced a grad cert at uni. My views are my own.
