Kitchen conversations…….
My being loves the connection of conversations that provide wisdom and insight in the moments that arise in the spaces in between.
Conversations connecting people, connecting pieces of knowledge to knowing deeply, conversations that are without agenda or direction or purpose.
Simply informative conversations where the messages arise providing pivotal insight and guidance.
Conversations that simply flow without sales pitches or ego.
Conversations where the words are formed from the ever present expression of exchange of each moment.
The bridge between what is and what is arising. Momentarily.
It is the ever present and changing landscape of life and the natural environment of the gentle, tender tranquility of words, expressed without force, pressure or thought.
And sometimes with it.
Conversations that transcend and are felt within the physical human experience, that are unique and meaningful, but never ‘something’ to be ‘worked out’, studied, referenced, dwelled upon.
These conversations offer a moment in time to feel, to drop from thinking, planning, working things out….. HEALING, what is not broken.
They offer the moment to understand that right now we are the best version of ourselves, regardless of how we judge this.
In these moments is the purity of self acceptance and the flow of self love.
It is hear that change occurs, sometimes in the subtle subconscious that tugs at the senses and sometimes in the gross conscious mind that may or may not be resisted.
It is in these conversations that a human being meets another human being without fuss, expectation, comparison or any of ‘the stuff’
I love kitchen conversations
Really it isn’t what you do, but how you do it.

In this quintessential post menopausal stage of my life I find a redefinition of my values and the importance of how I care for and respect my body.

I have had all the experiences that lacked self love, self worth. I’ve walked a tremendous path and quite frankly, incredible life to date.

I find this beautiful curious awareness arising as to how frequently and quickly I respond or react to the fluctuations of my thoughts. The unconscious projections, directions…. And how often they have not come from my own self directed or path of personal intention. But nonetheless, gratitude is exemplary.

Within is a very intelligent, gentle, compassionate woman. A human-being. I’m humbled by her strength and tenacity, self awareness

I love yoga, exercise, but it had become somewhat of a chore, I should do this discipline, push myself, be better, I should walk faster, every day, and it has hurt my body.

I’ve shifted in the how, valuing the intuitive teacher, valuing community and enjoying environments that are light, fun, women nattering with one another, gentleness, music, inspired movement, encouragement.

Moving away from feeling like a victim and gently, quietly, humbly slightly un-comfortably acknowledging presence of power.

Finding ways to enjoy engaging with my body with more wisdom, sensitivity and compassion.

Ive been engaging with psychology, committed time to discuss things that arise, with an intuitive skilled practitioner and finding a new level of understanding that has bought with it a long awaited sense of self compassion and forgiveness and greater faith within my heart.

I’m exploring things I’d forgotten I love, music, friendships, dance, reading, writing….. simple things that are profound. My work is softer… Well-being consulting, nourishing, retreats.

I’m trusting myself, my inner intuition and intelligence, walking away from things that no longer move symbiotically.

It’s an unraveling and I’m aligned to say what I once ‘knew’ I no longer know.

I acknowledge with conscious awareness the things that no longer serve and patiently, in the uncomfortable nature of change, of self seeing, move towards greater intention with acceptance and awareness.

Simplicity… I’ve just had the honour of nourishing 12 beautiful women in a space held by the beautiful Kylie Madge - My Body My Soul at Woody Grove Mapleton.

I was asked to give a little tea ceremony (thank you Hibiscus 🌺) and table chat on nourishing with balance and harmony and it was simply wonderful to not only nourish these wonderful women with beautiful food but to have the opportunity to share and connect around the table.

I’m always grateful for these opportunities to work alongside practitioners genuinely offering space that simply support a community of people, encouraging positive change and potential and offering a different perspective to their worlds.
Grounded, supportive, caring, genuine and gentle.

It’s lovely to connect and find support and insight, inspiration listening to the stories, journeys, triumphs and intentions moving forward.

I received some beautiful notes, and I can honestly say that it was a gift to receive words that honour the food that nourished and wisdom shared.

Thank you 🙏
