Happy Tuesday, Today as I cleaned out the cupboard under the sink. Every time I opened it to put rubbish in the bin, I thought 'I should clean that'. Closed it and forgot about it till I opened it again.

Which got me thinking, where in life are you turning a blind eye to? Time to shine a light on that task and get it done.

Energy creates energy and tackling that one task can lead to a chain reaction of productivity.

Finding beauty in the simple things...

Rhodedendrons from a tree on our section, but with hayfever a part of our lives, this outdoor display is the perfect solution.

What's your go-to flower to brighten up your space?

The struggle is real today, tackling the mountain of kids' clothes that need swapping from winter to summer.

Who else is doing this arduous job?

Always feels better after a spring clean though.

Loving these sunny nights. Tonight I took a walk around the block with the kids before dinner. What do you like to do on these sunny nights?

This week while navigating a huge change, I'm reminded that leading with calmness and wisdom shapes the path for others.

Navigating big changes isn't easy, but choosing to observe rather than react has been a turning point.

Sometimes going back to the basics is required and with the quiet presence comes the biggest impact.

Be the lighthouse, not the lifeboat, your steady light will path the way for others.

Just a heads up, looks like the weather's about to get wild.

Stay safe out there and hopefully it doesn't amount to much.

It's hard to believe after such a stunning day today.

Life-Threatening Weather Alert for New Zealand – Prepare Now!

A severe weather warning has been issued for New Zealand tomorrow, with authorities describing the situation as a “threat to life” in some regions. Torrential rain, powerful winds, and potential flooding are expected to hit both islands, creating dangerous travel conditions and raising the risk of landslides and power outages.

Emergency services are urging residents to avoid unnecessary travel, secure outdoor items, and stay updated through official MetService and Civil Defence channels. Low-lying and coastal areas may face flash floods or storm surges, and those near rivers are being told to move to higher ground if conditions worsen.

New Zealanders are known for their resilience, but tomorrow’s forecast is a reminder to respect nature’s force — plan ahead, stay safe, and look out for your neighbours.

As I'm preparing the room for my next client, all I can hear is the birds chirping away.

I'm loving this sunny day.

There's something special about creating a peaceful atmosphere that helps my clients relax and unwind.

Wishing you all a calm and beautiful day too.

One of my favourite places to be is in my massage room when its raining. Today was no exception. I had a magical day doing distant Reiki sessions. One message that kept coming through today was hand on heart and belly and tell yourself you are safe and loved.

I had a few scooter accidents when I was younger, one of which was particularly intense. I vividly remember the impact, the chaos, and the aftermath. What I didn't realise was that my body was holding onto that trauma for years. I walked away from that experience with a bruised ego, a couple of gravel marks on my ankle and knee, and a concussion.

Recently, I worked with someone who used a unique approach to help me release the stored tension. She asked me to sit in the position I would on my scooter, wearing my helmet, and in that moment, my body spoke to her more than it had previously. The release was profound – my jaw aligned, my nervous system calmed, and my thinking cleared.

This experience further cemented for me the connection between the mind and the body, reminding me that our bodies keep score, even when our minds try to forget.

Has your body held onto an experience? I'd love to hear your story in the comments!
