October 2021 Updates

Hello space monkeys! How are you? It feels like a long time since I’ve written to you, even though it’s only been a month. And even though it felt like September whizzed by really quickly! I hope that you’re all safe and well in your corner of the world. Spring has sprung here in South…

August 2021 Updates

Hello space monkeys! How are you? I trust that you managed to survive the weird, wild and wonky energy that was July! Whew! What a ride, hey? Some of the things I (and many others) experienced were: headaches, dizziness, lethargy, anxiousness, extra thirst, brain fog, ear ringing/ downloads, inspiration, and whacky dreams! I noticed it…

A 50 word story a day – January 2018

Day 1. ‘I am here.’ I am here on this first day, in this same skin, with this same sweat and this same smile. Recently it wasn’t so sweet or same-ish. I lost sight of the great things around me. I forgot that I’m powerful. I forgot that I’m needed and wanted here. Right here.…

A 50 word story a day – December 2017

Day 1. ‘I love doing this!’ I love leaving candles on the pathway. For others to see the light in the darkness. And hopefully not stumble over their feet as much as I have. I love following those little bright sparks before me. Those candles that others have left. From those wiser, bolder, braver than…

A 50 word story a day – November 2017

Day 1. ‘Blue.’ Clear blue ocean calling me. Swimming in its azure shallows, I relax and allow the world to support me. Arms outstretched, heart heavenward, eyes closed. Floating in the bath of Gaia. I easily and lovingly release that which no longer serves me. I easily and gratefully accept that which does. Photo: En…

Day 1. ‘My happy place.’ My happy place is deep inside. It’s silver and gold and beautiful. Actually, it’s not so deep anymore. The more I work with it, the closer it rises to the surface. Shining out of my pores and seeping into the world. Resonating far beyond my physical self. Ripples of love.…

Day 1. ‘Something pink.’ ‘I was tickled pink with August’s story,’ said Bria, breaking the fourth wall. ‘Really?’ said Molly. ‘I wasn’t. I thought it didn’t suit the style of this format.’ ‘Perhaps, but I liked that we didn’t have to find a new image every day or choose an angle for each prompt.’  …

A 50 word story a day – July 2017

Day 1. ‘Yum.’ Sometimes I watch shows like ‘Master Chef’ and I admire the yummy food and the non-bitchy competitiveness of it. And then, at other times, I wonder what happens to all the excess food, when we have so many people going hungry. And where are the local, Aboriginal flavours and contestants?   Day…

A 50 word story a day – March 2017

‘Something blue’ Some days I am something blue. The stuff from behind that black cloud comes creeping out and to the fore. It rises up like a tide and washes over me. Sometimes the compassion I feel for others is overwhelming. Sometimes I need to give that compassion to myself. It’s time.      …

A 50 word story a day – February 2017

‘A street’ They took down all the street signs in a whole city to confuse the enemy. Encourage them to lose their way. Tempt them to stop shooting at their shops and their wives. They build fires now, in memory. Keeping the hate alive with pyres and bitterness. Inherited like genetic code.   ‘Light’ Light…

A 50 word story a day – November 2016

‘Tiny’ It’s funny how the tiniest actions can have profound consequences. I laid hands on a king yesterday. With shyness and humbleness. The smallest touch resulted in the greatest joy. Knowing I was ‘met’. Knowing I am welcomed. Wanted. Needed. Appreciated. Knowing that my work here is good and right. Blessed.   2. ‘Half’ ‘Half…

A 50 word story a day – September 2016

‘Art’ In my craft or sullen art. How well I remember this opening line from that Dylan Thomas poem. I don’t remember the meaning or the message of the poem, but this line lingers. It hangs in a corner like a cobweb, occasionally catching the light and glistening like silver fairy-floss.   2. ‘Something’ Something…

A 50 word story a day – June 2016

‘Key’ The key to consciousness is connection. Connection with Self. The Universe. All that is. Others. The key to this connection is meditation. Musing on the Self and all that resides inside. It’s a discipline, but it’s easier to begin than you think. And with healthy intentions, great things are possible. 2. ‘Treat’ You were…

A 50 word story a day – January 2015

1. ‘The sky’ I love the sky. The way that it’s there, everyday, holding the sun and the clouds in place. Giving the birds and the dandelion-heads somewhere to fly. Not falling on my head like Chicken Little feared. But – do you have to shine your sunny face into mine so very early? 2.…
