Wholesome and Nourished

We all talk to ourselves all day, and yet no one teaches us what thoughts are.

Thoughts are not truth. They reflect the state of our nervous system and the core beliefs built from birth-age 7. Thoughts are habits. If you start to observe your thoughts, you’ll see that you tend to think the same things over and over again. They’re your pattern.

And your thought patterns are greatly shaped what you’ve experienced in life. Not, the reality of what life is. Or what life can be.

Most of us react to our thoughts as if they’re 100% true. We’ve never questioned them. And some of us don’t even notice what we think. Yet, those thoughts drive our emotions. And those emotions drive our behavior.

Human beings are wildly powerful. We can adapt, start over, heal, and evolve as long as we’re breathing.

Your thoughts are not truths. The more you question them and embody who you want to be, the more life mirrors back to you a new way of existing. The more doors start to open up. The more new people come into your life

Ordinary days are my favourite. ✨

🥭 SUMMER SALAD 🥭

La Luna. 🌙

Forever seaching.
Forever knowing.
Inside of me.
The power.
It's already known.

☀️UPDATE ON MUM☀️

My appologies for not writing back to people, I have just been overwhelmed with messages and I have been up all night talking to my siblings and Drs, whilst working and then having the kids on my days off.

Mum had a heart bypass last Wednesday and though it was successful, she has had difficulty breathing on her own when the Drs tried to wean her off of sedation.

They have tried a number of times over the last week but it was decided to perform another surgical proceedure to assist with taking her breathing tube out. This happened about 8 hours ago.

They aim to reduce her sedation in the morning (London time) to see how successful and capable she is of breathing alone.

She has been through a lot but she is a strong woman.
I appreciate all those who have reached out and sent their love and prayers.
I have a huge amount of gratitude to my three brothers and sister who have been there to visit Mum every day whilst they too are working and looking after their own kiddos.

Still praying hard.
Always

This.
Every time.

It doesn't make it easier.
It makes me realise that I am able to get through real sh*tty weather.
The harshness of it all.
The unrelentlessness of it.
We all are.

That this is just a moment.
In time.
A season.
In life.
A cycle.
For now.

However hard.
Forever moving, changing and evolving.
The storm and us.

Tomorrow, may the Sun rise again and I find warmth in his golden rays.

Until then.

It's as it's meant to be.
And for that, for now, I find some comfort and strength.

⚡️☀️🪐🌙

Making life more colourful.

In every dish.
In every moment..

🌈

When your soul reads the words you are currently feeling.

A Mothers wildest strength is only surpassed by the pure love she has for her child.

🦋

'Your journey is yours and yours alone.'

Todays thought for me.
And for anyone else that this lands with.
✨️

Instagram V Reality.

What a wild time of the year.

Embracing the stuff I am grateful for.
Being kind to the stuff I struggle with.

Each moment is different and that's ok.

There's a lesson to be learnt and beauty to be seen in every one of these moments.

People may not realise how much someone is struggling.
But please know that I do.
Because, I too am one of those people.

A HOPEFUL Christmas.

Though at times, especially right now, things may not seem too 'Merry'.

From my heart to yours - My wish is for hope.
Merry is great, but it's not always do-able.

Hope that we find the strength and love to continue being kind to one another, as well as ourselves.

Hope that we find the peace that we are all so desperately needing right now.
Both internally and externally.
Individually and Collectively.

Hope that though some are struggling and suffering, that we find gratitude in the things we do have.
Without feeling guilty about it but being aware and grateful. But also if we can, help ease their struggles.

Hope that we try to help those in need. Whether a moment talking to a stranger. Helping someone with their shopping. Donating your time, clothes or money if you can.
Talking about issues, rather than fighing and arguing for these issues.

I wish you a hopeful Christmas.
And I hope for PEACE.
And above all I hope for LOVE.

'Hope is being able to see the light, despite of all the darkness'.

From my heart to yours.

Take some time right now to reflect, recognize and appreciate where you are right now.

It may not be where you had imagined, but taking time to appreciate how bloody hard you have worked to be here, right now, in this moment.

Little things.
Little wins.
Little moments.

They are the big things.
They are life.
They are the reasons I smile.

My Buddha babe.
The final addition to our beautiful and crazy family.

You were meant to be the calm, dark-haired daughter I always thought I would have. 😂

Instead another firey-beautiful and perfect red head boy with the biggest of brown eyes.

My darling, you have been the final piece in our pizzle and I couldn't imagine having another soul chose us.

We love you forver and endlessly.

✨️🩷☀️🧡✨️

You.
Me.
Us.

So much more than we give ourselves credit for.

Five years ago my second SUN arrived *dramatically* and though I had no idea how I could love another child as much as my first, you showed me that I could.
My heart and love grew even more.

My Mini - don't ever change.
You kindness, vibrancy, empathy, comical timing and love is exactly what we all need.

Keep shining bright, my boy.

✨️☀️

I have been saying this since I was a child;

This song.
These words.
We need to collectively and lovingly be singing this.
From the treetops to the ocean beds.

Sending so much love, peace and unity to each and every one of us.
Myself too.
Pachamama.
Our beautiful animals.

I envision and tranquil bliss of us, our children and our childrens children living in harmony on Pachamama, alongside one another.
On Mother Earth.

One day.
Soon.
Thank you.

🐺🪶🦋✨️

This.
I have been saying this for YEARS.
Amen to this.
🙌🏾🪶🤎🐺✨️🦋💫🧜🏾‍♀️

🦋 I really needed to find this message today. 🦋

For somone who looks up at other people and how far they have gone.
How much they have achieved.
How many courses they have completed.
How successful they are.
How much they are achieving.

I really needed to stop comparing myself to others.
They are not me.
And I am not them.

My journey is not like theirs.
And is not linear.
As I am grateful for.

I need to acknowledge sometimes the struggles and adversity we each go through and how successful we are for being here, right now.
And that success is different for each of us.

This journey is a magical fking rollercoaster.
It's tough, it's soft.
It's beautiful, it's ugly.
It's up and it's down.
It's happy anf it's sad.
It's fast and (as I am learning) it cam be slow.

But that the beautiful polarity of life.
I believe it plays out, as is meant to.

And so here I am, in my current season.
Sitting in my car, nap-trapped by my almost 2 year old. 🥹 as it pours down in Adelaide.

I come accross this message and I welcome it with open arms.

I hope it lands for whoever else needs to hear it too.

Our own path.

🤎💭🧚🏾‍♀️🐺

Through the most darkest of days: Let there be light!

A little late but I wish everyone, Jewish or not, a peaceful and happy Chanukah.

May we start by lighting up small lights within us and let that continue to shine for others.
Others that are currently in darkness amd dispair.

I wish for nothing but peace on this Earth.
Particularly for the Palestinians and Israelis caught up in this horrific war. Right now.

To me, no one but those behind these decisions benefit from war.

I pray for a ceasefire immediately.
I pray for all hostages to be release immediately.
I pray for all aid that is needed to be sent and recieved urgently.
To everyone who needs its.

To see what I have seen over the last few months and what I have personally experience, my wish is for change.

And that starts with me.
That is what I can control.
So here is my light of PEACE.
My honey filled beacon of light for us all.

I love you.

For we are all BROTHERS and SISTERS walking this Earth.
With no need to fight over her.

Amen.

'Our kindness reminds us of our own true nature.
Love.'

A follow on from my stories, whenever we can; Be Kind.
For me, that is our ULTIMATE purpose of life. To help others.
Being kind, you are helping others.
Individually, collectively.
Trust me, I know.

A simple act of kindness, be it a smile.
A good morning.
Letting someone in front of you.
Buying someone a coffee.
Helping friends in their businesses.
Helping your family move.
Donating to those less fortunate.
Not just in money, but maybe food, clothes, your time.
Listening to someone.
Involving and inviting people.

And if you can't be kind, at least don't hurt them.

Jo. 🦋🩷
