There's a purging happening in the collective. It's being 'pushed' onto us as Mother Earth let's go of what no longer serves her, energetically.
She's raising her vibration, her frequency and there's nothing we can do to stop it.

This 'levelling up' has been happening for a while now. You can feel it under your feet if you truly tune in. That soft hum of energy transmuting, rebalancing, recalibrating. The trees have been whispering it on the wind. The oceans gently coaxing us to move with it, rather than against it.
Grids reforming in all aspects, right around around the globe. Heightened and intense energies spiking rising levels of anxiety and excitement, both equally as triggering.

Our bodies have been attempting to translate this evolution, whether we are consciously open to it or not. Extensive bouts of sickness, survival mode kicking in and locking us up (not just physically), as well as a deep sense of confusion and indecision - do I go one way or do I go the other, no wait, that doesn't feel right either.

Now is the time to allow rest, quiet and connection where possible. Get outside (even if it's cold and rainy), ground your energies, warm your body with comfort, nutrient dense foods. Even look up some new recipes if you need as moving through this transformative time may call for new ways of thinking, being and doing.

The ability to express what's in your heart is being called forth in this moment. This may not look or sound as you expect though. Trust that whatever form your expression takes is perfect for YOU (think creative, movement, making sounds, music, exercise, cooking, how you dress and present yourself to the world, even solitude speaks volumes). The relationship between your heart and your throat plays a big part here in feeling safe enough to express yourself in the first place. Being or becoming aware of this connection may be the first step in aligning your 'voice' and expression with your inner feeling, your heart. The next step, honouring whatever expression needs to take place.

Take heed, slow down and listen to that inner voice that whispers in your depths. It's a new time, a new cycle, a new phase that is currently in its foundation stage. Out bodies may take a moment to process and catch up. Go gently and be kind to your unique journey. We each travel this existence differently and even though at times we will meet and connect with those that are like minded, we must align with our own path.

For the journey I bid you good fortune, good health and much courage. The road may be tumultuous but the learning and the evolution will come at lightening speed, if you choose to let it in. Be brave, my friend, and don't discourage - the light on the other side of this upheaval is next level (actually). Like nothing you've even experienced before.
The unknown may be scary and curious, but attempting to remain the same whilst everything else is ascending... that is torture. Trust that everything is unfolding as it should and allow yourself to surrender to the flow of it ♥️❄️✨️

I never saw myself as a perfectionist. I only knew that if I really wanted something, if I was super excited about something, then I would give it 100%.
I spent most of my life navigating the grey, because the flow and the likelihood of change and flexibility felt easier (& less stressful) than if I was to live in the 'all or nothing'.
Yet it was asked of me the other day if I was an 'all in' kinda person and at the time it didn't resonate. Really didn't hit home at all.
Tonight as I sit her and beat myself up I realise that the pattern has been there, Just deeply covered up. I've been cruising along you see. Not aiming too high, yet not frozen in one place. Living in the grey, tricked into thinking I was 'in flow'.
Don't get my wrong, at times there has been genuine flow, genuine connection, authentic alignment - and that felt different. But the rest of it - just cruising.
Never moving too far away from the median line. Not aiming high so that I didn't have very far to fall. Thinking that this was living, not just surviving.
As the New Moon comes in tomorrow and I sit in the Dark Moon energy tonight it bubbles up differently, unfamiliar. A realisation that perhaps I'm living within my safety zone, rather than stretching and growing and building on my own resilience, self confidence and perspective of what success in my life may just look like.
What if I just trusted what felt right, rather than give up trying if I can't imagine giving it my all?? One aligned step at a time, rather than a leap, rather than me moving into overwhelm when things get a little wobbly. Just one thing everyday that feels good, that feels true, that feels aligned for me.
What would that look like? What would that feel like? What would it be without the expectations? What if I chose to let them all go?? Any expectations I've learned, that I've put onto myself, that I've pressured myself into meeting.
Drop the pressure. Drop the expectations. Drop any preconceived ideas of who I have to be and just trust in who I am. Trust my instincts. Trust my intuition. Trust my own inner voice, inner compass. Trust myself.

"I now let these ideals of perfection fall away as if they are merely a coat I chose to wear. I now choose to trust my instincts and follow where my intuition guides me, leaving behind the pressure, expectations and beliefs that are outdated, null and void. I honour my own unique journey and give myself permission to breathe when I need to breathe and take action when it feels aligned for me. I welcome in the support and love of my true guides, in line with the highest level of my being. I give thanks. "

I’ve been here before. I’ve danced this dance. I’ve held on by a thread as it all came crashing down.

But she called me back. Back home within her waters. In her embrace I feel at home. I feel connected to something bigger than myself: an interconnected web of knowing, both on the surface and deep down into the darkness.

What have I been afraid of that I’ve avoided her so? Where has my faith waned so much that I lost trust in her, in me?

Every ounce of me wanted to run, to escape, to disconnect from the web that she weaves. I tried, I attempted, but something deep inside me held me steadfast. Frozen in time.

So, I took all my tools and I made myself feel safe again, even when it was only superficial and not real ‘safety’ at all. What the brain and body will do to aid the nervous system to feel safe, right?! I had been tricked, you see, my fear bellowing at me at night whispering sweet nothings in my ears. I made it about them, about keeping them safe, focusing on my external reality rather than my inner world. The story I told myself regarding safety locked me down (literally and metaphorically) to disconnect from the mass fear that was brewing.

I can still hear it now. I feel it buzzing in my ear sometimes, that collective fear. Triggered by a threat too large for our conscious minds to bare. It took us, the fear did, to places we hadn’t personally experienced – only visited in family history, books or movies. It took us into survival mode so that our physical world remained safe. I saw this reflected in my children’s eyes every day. What about the next generation? Who will keep them safe? Who will save them?

And yet we prevailed in this time that felt foreign to all. People in power making rules to control the narrative, conscious that they couldn’t control the chaos they were feeling within themselves.

The unknown, the threat, the ‘what ifs’, the ‘shoulds’, the ‘its not fair’ and the ‘what about me?’. It felt heavy. Too heavy for lots of us to bare.

So we changed, we adapted – not because it felt aligned so much, but because we felt we had to for our own survival. With our choices threatened and our limited freedoms the collective began segregating into stories based on what we prioritsed was the most important (safe) step for us and/or our families.

We separated from each other and in doing so, separated aspects within ourselves. We fragmented and only now in the past 12 months are we beginning to witness the collective reawakening. An awakening deeper than we have ever been before, than we have ever been brave enough to look. An awakening within ourselves, calling out any separation, any disillusion, any doubt or mistrust.

We are being called to remember the truth within. Our truth. My truth. Your truth. Our truth as a collective on a higher level. A level of higher evolution, both energetically and spiritually.

It is stirring within my waters and has been for some time now. I can no longer resist the message.

“Have you felt it? Can you feel it calling to you, my love?

Now is the time to listen in. Let her come to you with the moon in the darkness and awaken you as the day breaks. Let her guide you to remember your unique essence, your spirit, your whole truth, your authentic being. You are her. She is you. The whisper of your inner voice as you allow stillness, welcoming her home.”

And so, I return to her so that she may guide me home, home within my own waters. Like an old friend, a safe haven, who knows my truth wholeheartedly, I allow her to reactivate my inner compass. My centre. My womb connecting me back to all that is, all that was, all that will be. Leading me back to unison. Back to oneness. Back to wholeness. Back to me. Back to everything.

She, who is the oceans, the waterways, the streams. She who is the lakes, the rivers and the crashing waves. She will be my guide so long as I see myself in her reflection.

I will no longer run from her or hide. I will flow and evolve, connect and align. I will trust in her guidance and wisdom once again, alighting my own inner fire. Forever changed, forever grateful, knowing I am held as deeply as I need to dive. Knowing I am safe in the continuous evolution of my being, expanding beyond what the eye can see.

Just like her. Our worldly waters.

A friend reminded me today that we need to celebrate the wins. Everyone. All of us. Including those who always put everyone else first.

For me, I revel in the wins of others. I love celebrating achievements whether it's of my family, friends or colleagues. To support others in their shining moments, I seriously believe this lifts the vibrations around us and makes the world sparkle that much brighter.

A beautiful connection of mine messaged me this week to share that she got the job, the one that felt right in her heart. She had tried not to get herself too hopeful, but also wanted to make sure that her energy was calling to the opportunity.
And of course, the job was hers!! I celebrated!!

My eldest celebrated his entry to an art competition not too long ago. We were so excited to support him on the opening night and to see the spark of passion igniting his creativity. It was indescribable. It was his first art show and surely not the last. I celebrated!

These achievements we strive for need to be celebrated. We are worthy of celebration. All of us. We deserve to see our dreams achieved.... and celebrate any and all of the wins, however big or small, along the way.

And yet even as I continue to write about other's achievements I realise I very rarely celebrate my own. It feels uncomfortable. It even feels unsafe at times.... this perhaps all coming from the 'tall poppy syndrome' experiences that I had in my teenage years. People ridiculing and tearing others down for being too smart, too pretty, too good at something!! Constantly making myself not too big, not too shiny, so that I felt safe.

However, now that I'm grown I want to teach my kids that's it's not just ok to celebrate your wins but it's also healthy to be proud of them. To be proud of yourself ❤️

So, in saying that, it also means that I need to lead by example, stand tall and celebrate my own achievements. Be proud of what I have accomplished, especially if it felt challenging at the time.

For those of you who know me, I have been studying a Certificate III in Early Childhood. I have had some seriously challenging days with this. It's challenged some core beliefs and forced me to look at my own triggers again and again.

But I did it. I completed it. And it didn't break me (almost 🤣).

Oh the tantrums I had!! The days of no confidence or little self belief. The questioning of everything.

And yet this experience has grown me in many ways. It shone a big f**k off light onto where I needed to focus. Onto what I needed to let go. I have yet to know where it will lead me but I celebrate my growth and a step in the right direction....
... even if it feels uncomfortable ❤️

This time of night is my favourite. As the sun slowly creeps up in the darkness of the sky re igniting the beginning of a new day, I sit snuggled up with my littlest breathing lullabies against my heart. The rhythmic harmony of a big brother and an exhausted Mumma add to the feeling of 'home' that is currently so strong within me. Magic moments for only me to experience. Totally in love right now xx

Reflection for 2020….

I did my cards today thinking that they would represent the next 12 months and as I felt into them and read through each one carefully I noticed that this is exactly how my 2020 had played out.

North - Summer- was all about moving back into creation mode (my word for the year also being ‘create’) and finding my endurance and stamina within. Of course I giggled when I read all about synchronicities… it was February that the Universe began conversing with my intentions and we conceived our beautiful little Frankie. I would bet good money that everything had fallen into place by the end of Summer and it was all pleasantly confirmed in the Autumn.

West - Autumn – I reflected on my previous pregnancy and my relationship with my body. As the cards pointed out to me today I very much had to reunite my inner and outer worlds to understand the process, embrace the feminine within and listen to my intuition. The season of Autumn for my was about feeling all the feels especially on a physical level with how my body reacted to all of the hormonal changes occurring.

South - Winter – was a time of inner healing, of coming back to myself and realising that trust has been my biggest hurdle. Trusting myself and my own instincts. Something I had been struggling with for a long time. Winter reminded me to focus on the positive and let the rest go. I had the pleasure of reconnecting to the belief that I was born to create and give birth (in so many more ways than I ever thought possible) and that ‘I am potential and possibility’.

East - Spring – What can I say? As the time drew closer to meeting our little mermaid I found myself asking for help and support from those who had walked this road before. My ancestors and the divine feminine gave me strength beyond the world of the physical and enabled me to work past my impatience. My family's strength and wisdom, along with their unwavering support during this last phase of pregnancy were what rekindled my spirit and reminded me to just breathe. As the cards spelt out for me today… I was creating sacred space this whole time, just in my own way, with my own rituals ready to embark on the next part of the journey. Frankie was welcomed Earthside surrounded by centuries of wisdom and love.

The end of one cycle and the beginning of a new one… So very grateful for the reflections, growth and transformation that 2020 has enabled for me and sparked within.

Where did 2020 take you?

I haven't posted in awhile. I've been searching for the words. In the last few weeks leading up to her long awaited arrival I was feeling so much... but really not knowing how to express it.

The anticipation is killer. Then you jumble it up with excitement, hope and a healthy dose of fear just to keep you on your toes.

But you've just got to have faith. Faith in the timing of it all. Faith that everything is aligned and trust that its all working FOR you.

My mind crept in, in those last few weeks. I remembered my last birth experience yet I forgot all of the signs. And since this time around I was much more in tune with my body, I started noticing things earlier on. My moods began to change. My body felt different. A headache or two. My energy levels were low and to be honest I felt like my body was getting ready to menstruate. I listened to my intuition and began regular acupuncture treatment from about 36 weeks in preparation for labour. My inner knowing had felt really strongly that I needed Chinese herbs for post-partum care and so I adhered. Even my level of support changed and I was blessed to be able to share those last weeks with my parents also at home, enabling me to feel safe knowing that if and when I went into labour they were there to hold the fort. But my mind still raced on.

And as I would sit frustrated after each long day, I had yet to realise that all of these 'things' contributed to the most ideal timing and perfect birthing conditions for this little Miss to appear Earthside.

Yes... I can happily say that Frankie's birth was everything I had hoped it would be. From the continuity of care over the phone and in the hospital, to the energy in the birthing suite of just Kerry, I and one amazing midwife, to the fact that after getting sent home that morning from a midnight hospital visit we were then able to say a proper goodbye to both boys about 3hrs later before our little girl arrived. Add to that whole experience a team who encouraged me to just trust what my body was doing and go with it - exactly what I'd been trying to focus on all pregnancy - even before the DR could make it in time.

Our mermaid girl, Frankie Shaye was born at 9.47pm on Friday 13th 'en caul' (still in her sac) making her birth even more of a miracle than we thought it would be. My body knew exactly what it was doing and I allowed myself to turn inward to bring myself back to centre with every breath.

In hindsight I now see that the timing was everything and all I needed to do was just have a little faith, this year in particular.

From my beautiful, new & sparkling family to yours - Lee xx

Very helpful reassurance for Mumma's out there who have struggled with knowing what to do for their baby's Sleep... myself included - this was one of the most challenging parts of mothering a newborn for me. I hope this perspective can help others too xx

We all have sleep associations, we don’t bat an eyelid about our own quirks or needs around what helps us sleep. Yet, with even a very young baby, there is pressure to ‘teach your baby to self-settle’ – to fall asleep without any help from you.
