I honour her by living spontaneously, as a woman who opens her eyes and truly sees
This past week or so, I have been grateful for... Completing my [almost] annual letter-writing marathon! If I owe you a letter, postcard, aerogramme or a lock of my hair then you are about to be very pleasantly surprised (postal gods willing). Phew! Mari Andrew and the inspiration she has given me to pick up … Continue reading A time for savouring
At the end of last year, I felt a stirring I hadn't felt in a long time. I felt like a word was coming to me. I used to be BIG INTO choosing a word for the year. Readers of my old blog might remember how I spent a year exploring the nuance of meaty … Continue reading Content
OK I feel slightly daft saying "Spoiler Alert!" when in comes to the story of Jesus and Mary Magdalene. Because I'd be pretty surprised if you didn't have at least some idea of how that panned out. But specifically, I want to talk about the Mary Madgalene movie directed by Garth Davis, starring Rooney Mara, Joaquin … Continue reading Mary M
When Lilith first arrived in my life, a quick bit of research revealed a fairly well-trodden path. Created at the same time as Adam. Refused to be submissive. Self-imposed exile. Would not return when God bade her (so He created Eve for poor old lonely Adam, and we all know how that worked out). … Continue reading Lilith
I want talk a bit about Mary Magdalene. But before I do that, I reckon I need to talk about Lilith. And I can't really do that without talking about Sheela Na-gig. Bear with me here. Those who have journeyed with me online before may recall that I am a bit of a fan of … Continue reading Sheela
As the school holidays near an end and we prepare to step back onto the school conveyor belt, I am feeling tireder than I want to be but pretty content with where I am. This week, I'm particularly keen to give thanks for... ... a really lovely two weeks of school holidays. We had just … Continue reading Savouring my Sunday
My life changed the day I read The Shamanic Way of the Bee. It felt like a calling. But also a remembering. True to form, I found a tiny gold bee talisman, put in on a chain around my neck (my christening chain, no less) and fell into the research hive. I meandered with Artemis through … Continue reading Bee in my bonnet
If there's one things guaranteed to pull me out of the doldrums, it's gratitude. This week, I feel so lucky because... ... so many amazing people have been there for me when I needed them. And so many beautiful people are looking out for my kids. It can be a brutal world out there. But … Continue reading Savouring my Saturday
.... all sorts of beautiful things flowed my way. My Personal Trainer asked me how I was and she really heard me when I said that I was exhausted and struggling. Instead of working through our six week program, we did Pilates stretches and mat work. And when we finished she said, “I love you! … Continue reading And then…
Now that I am more grounded and my faith in human beings is restored, I can’t help but muse on that truism: what you focus on, expands. I won’t repeat my rants of the past few days. But it’s fair to say that, at my worst, I have been fully prepared to despise my entire … Continue reading What you focus on, expands
