The reason for my online quietness … has been due to a month of full and committed presence to the exploration and experiences in a land so deeply close to my heart ❤️
After 20 years away, and upon turning 40 I was pulled so strongly back to New Zealand, to the birth home of my father and the resting place of his gravestone - which I so longed to see and lay flowers beside..
He was a constant presence during my trip there and will be on my next 40th adventure - when I travel to Egypt and immerse myself in its’ magic and mystery ✨
It was so beautiful, and so needed for my heart, to be with my family there and back on the land that holds so many memories of my father.
It was also a beautiful chance to spend time with much loved friends and to have the most incredible adventures. I felt so carried by the universe, so held by the magic of adventure, and so in trust of the flow.
Life never turns out the way that we imagine and there are times when this can feel hard but when we let expectation go and any attachment to outdated or unavailable dreams, it can lead us to the most extraordinary moments, the culmination of which can lead to an even more extraordinary life 💞
