Today I found a pigeon stuck in our girls’ bathroom and was mortified to hear that the poor thing had been in there the whole of yesterday as well. 😢 I spent ages jumping up and down trying to get the poor thing to fly out the door. He kept flying too high and hitting the top …

Day 35: Be Brave Challenge – True Friends
Feeling human again today🤗 I even managed to clean my kitchen and do my washing all by myself. I am so proud.😎 So I was thinking that tonight I would just have a chilled… zero writing evening!! But then so much happened today and I almost can’t help myself.😂 (Mmm…. I think it comes from 28 plus years …
Day 34: Be Brave Challenge – Waterworks!
So yesterday I woke up early on Saturday to tidy the house before Zukie arrived to clean. My flatmate has been away this week which means I have kind of let things slip a bit. I have realized that I function better when I feel accountable for another person. (That’s my excuse!) So I’m feeling …
Day 33: Be Brave Challenge – ‘The Ultimate Super Power’
So I have been waking up at 4 am for the last two days again… Can’t seem to understand the correlation to me feeling happy and then my body thinking “whoohooo I don’t quite need sleep anymore.” (Note to body: you do!) And I feel flu-like symptoms approaching, exactly one day after I joked with …
Day 32: Be Brave Challenge – Learning to ‘Practice Gratitude’
While I was shopping yesterday, I was grabbing new things I had already bought to try on with stuff I was thinking about buying. Had fly-away thought….” Whatever you do, don’t pack ‘unpaid for stuff’ back into a paid bag. (An arrest for shoplifting will not do much for your career🤔.) Even checked the bag …
Day 31: Be Brave Challenge – Falling off the Gratitude Wagon
This morning I woke up feeling like I’d just slept under a thundercloud.😤Tried to meditate, but it didn’t work, so I picked up my ‘ morning pages’ book that has been relatively untouched for the last…mmmm..28 days. Decided maybe I should start writing again…😓 (Clearly I haven’t reached equanimity status just yet.🤔) Then I decided to …
Day 30: Be Brave Challenge – ‘Hot Loneliness’
I posted this video a while ago…but it really is one of my favourites. 🤗Glennon is so funny, so cute and so completely vulnerable (my new favourite word). I love how she describes the ‘hot loneliness’ of learning to sit with yourself rather than filling our lives up with distractions. 🍔🍕🍩🍫🍺🍹🏀🏋🏌📱💻📕📺💉🚬🎲🎸🚗 I was out visiting my Godmother …
Day 29: Be Brave Challenge – Dumarse Shit Stories!
Truth be told some of us take a little longer to learn certain ‘life lessons’.😉 Random story: I made my favourite Vietnamese spring rolls for dinner last night🌯🌯. In an attempt to pack some for lunch today I put them in my long container, which has a little side container. (Perfect for my soy sauce, …
Day 28: Be Brave Challenge – The Davis Program
I have been really excited to share this video of this gorgeous child that I work with. Daniel is a super intelligent and insanely cute grade 2 boy, who is dyslexic. As a result, he has struggled quite a bit with his reading and writing these last few years. What is so frustrating for me as …
Day 27: Be Brave Challenge – The Big Picture
I think today I made peace with being the proverbial cat lady. 😂 Although I have to admit they are very strange creatures that I don’t quite understand. I usually start with Pumpkin, as secretly, he is my favourite. 🐈 He sits on my lap the entire time I am there, soaking up every bit of attention he can …
