Day 2 of my Wordy Advent.

And a gentle but firm reminder that if you are trying to achieve perfection this month, you are on an uphill journey to nowhere great.

It is the imperfections, the flaws, and the messiness that create most beautifully lived lives. I see it all the time.

The love lives in the things forgotten because the conversation was just too good. The joy sneaks in when you take a beat from your militant routine to just notice what’s going on around you.

So, for your task today, can you do something imperfectly? Leave something unfinished? Decide not to break your back over a very simple task and instead do it with love and presence and see what happens.

Jot it down, say it out loud, stitch it to the fabric of the universe with intent, and perhaps make a little pact with yourself that you are going to focus more on what’s important this month and less on trying to make everything perfect for an invisible judge and jury.

It’s your life. You’re here to live it. Not show it like a house that’s ready to be sold. Mess some things up and sit with the discomfort. Then laugh it off and put your feet up, my love. That’s the version of you we want to see living their best life.

✨ 4 Years of Teaching Yoga ✨

[edited to add this selfie is of me 4 years ago. Taken just before the start of class whilst feeling ALL the feelings about who would actually show up to class. Side note- It was mostly friends and family! 🤭]

Today marks 4 years since I taught my very first yoga class.

So much has changed in that time — I’ve moved house three times, navigated separation, met some truly wonderful souls, and continued to learn and grow in ways I never imagined.

Along the way I’ve fallen deeper in love with this path — studying Thai massage, guiding yoga nidra, reiki level 1, meditation and sharing practices that support slowing down, softening, and coming home to ourselves.

To everyone who’s rolled out a mat beside me, trusted me to guide you, or simply offered encouragement along the way — thank you. 💫

Here’s to growth, connection, and all the chapters still to come.

With love,

Reposting for vital information on warning signs for cardiac problems plus warning symptoms

when your body starts sweating profusely for no apparent reason followed by what feels like a spasm at the end of your esophagus, that is your body’s warning sign.

When you are alone and have a heart attack, what are you gonna do? A really good post that can't be shared often enough:

1. Take a 2 minute break and read this:
Let's say it's 5:25 pm and you're driving home after an unusually hard day's work.

2. You are really tired and frustrated.
All of a sudden your experience chest pains. They are starting to radiate in the arm and jaw. It feels like being stabbed in the chest and heart. You're only a few miles away from the nearest hospital or home.

3. Unfortunately you don't know if you can make it..

4. Maybe you've taken CPR training, but the person running the course hasn't told you how to help yourself.

5. How do you survive a heart attack when you're alone when it happens? A person who is feeling weak and whose heart is beating hard has only about 10 seconds before losing consciousness.

6. But you can help yourself by coughing repeatedly and very strongly! Deep breaths before every cough. Coughing should be repeated every second until you arrive at the hospital or until your heart starts to beat normally.

7. Deep breathing gives oxygen to your lungs and coughing movements boost the heart and blood circulation. Heart pressure also helps to restore a normal heartbeat. That’s how cardiac arrest victims can make it to the hospital for the right treatment.

8. Cardiologists say if someone gets this message and passes it on to 10 people, we can expect to save at least one life.

9. FOR WOMEN: You should know that women have additional and different symptoms. Rarely have crushing chest pain or pain in the arms. Often have indigestion and tightness across the back at the bra line plus sudden fatigue.

Instead of posting jokes, you're helping save lives by spreading this message.
