C is for CURIOSITY
When I was younger I was curious, but in my teenage years my curiosity changed. I was more curious about boys and my peers and curious about how I could fit in with my peer group, my curiosity was less about the world and life and more about how to belong in life.
Now my curiosity is huge!
Without curiosity, I feel we live a half life, when we stop being curious we stop living. I have a neighbour who has stopped being 'life' curious, instead she chooses to watch loud obnoxious talk show...

B is for BOREDOM
Many years ago I used to feel bored a lot; I was bored with life, bored with me, bored with what felt like a stagnant life I had opted in for, until I discovered mindfulness .
Boredom is not possible when we rest in the awareness of the NOW. The present moment has no place for boredom.
When I was bored in my past, I feel on some level it masked some low grade depression. There were other emotions present, sadness, loneliness and a sense of 'unfairness' taking place inside me. I had no id...

A is for ATTRACTION
So they say beauty is the eye of the beholder and yet the subject of attraction can have many components. We are led to believe that we are automatically pre-disposed to find certain qualities attractive in another person, be it physical or biological, but over the years I have discovered that attraction can be fleeting, physical attraction most of all.
Attraction and Infatuation
Recently I had my first experience of infatuation with a new lover. I was smitten, my feelings uncontrollable, highl...

What Are The Side Effects Of Mirena IUD?
Compensation for this post was provided by Rose Vitalis.
Opinions expressed here are my own.
As woman in my late thirties I have recently had to explore the world of contraception again after a long period being sexually inactive. Now since I was last on the contraceptive pill the world of contraception sure has changed and I was quite overwhelmed with the options I had. In my younger years I automatically went for the contraceptive pill, but I had so many problems with the hormones in this for...

So I will be posting a new post every day for the month of April (with Sundays off).These may be short, long posts or anything that feels appropriate. I have chosen a theme on the topic of feelings, how we express ourselves, what we feel, how to move through and embrace feelings or sto...

What Is Love? Part 2
Love is a topic that could go on forever, so many experiences of what love is, but what is love really?
Love cannot be grasped with the hands or held onto.
Love cannot be contained in one vehicle for its expression.
Love is not acts done, given or received.
Love knows no limits.
But are there different frequencies of love? Like the air that we breathe can be cool or warm, the wispiness of the wind blowing a breeze or a hurricane can evoke feelings of soothing calm or rapturous delight in the exten...

Review: Rio Rosa Mosqueta Cleanser & Firming Serum
As many of you who follow my blog will know from my posts, I have experienced skin issues in my life so far including acne and rosacea. Having sensitive skin sucks big time and finding the right products to match such sensitive skin can be a challenge. My own rosacea has been soothed dramatically and calmed down a lot since using Rio Rosa Mosqueta Rosehip Seed Oiland I do find that out of many products, massaging this oil into the rosacea areas (when no acne is present), has significantly red...

The Vulnerability Series Part 2 - Risking Rejection
While exploring the whole ....
Continued on from Vulnerability Series Part 1 : Fear
Root chakra
Belonging - feeling unsafe to belong.
Better to not risk belonging because belonging equals the potential for being hurt and rejected. So to not allow myself to belong in any group, tribe or circle means no more rejection or hurt.
And in doing so, cutting off my connection to the abundance and support that the whole can give to me.
In essence I have already been rejected by my pushing away any cha...

The Vulnerability Series : Part 1 - Fear
It's hard to be seen. Really hard when you have spent a lifetime hiding your light under the proverbial bushel. Because often when we want people to see us we remove the invisibility cloak, but we want people to see only our good qualities, our positive side. In a way when we remained in the shadows people never got to see our light or our dark, they never got to see our strengths or our weaknesses. Hiding in the shadows is both a comfort and an discomfort zone, filled with duality.
When I...
