There has never been a time in history where those of us lucky enough to be born with a roof over our heads and enough food to eat, have been so free to follow our hearts, live life the way we want to, do what we love and play to our own rules.
We now have the possibility of being the artists of our own lives.
In theory it sounds wonderful, but in practice most people don’t seem to know what to do with this new-found freedom. Continue reading
I am done with giving my year a word, a focus, a goal.
Don’t get me wrong. It works. Like witchcraft. When you want to pull your life into a different shape, when you know the one you are leading doesn’t suit you, doesn’t nourish your soul, then giving your year a word to play by is a powerful tool. Continue reading
This week I opened up the sound waves for a jam session with Free Range Human, Marianne Cantwell as she gets ready to launch her long-awaited book ‘Free Range Humans – escape the 9 to 5, do what you love and still pay the bills’.
Listen in as we wax lyrical on what life is like as a free range human (we’re not just beach bums, although beaches do quite often figure in our lives), how a whole new way of working is emerging thanks to technology that we couldn’t have even dreamed of when we were at school – one that gives us enormous opportunity for freedom, creativity and making a difference in the world, one where we no longer have to work from an office and one where we can start up a business and get it out to the world for no money at all.

This weekend I picked up a paintbrush, strapped two pieces of paper together, squidged out some paint and just went for it. A fearless painting adventure as taught by my art yogini, Connie, of the infamous Dirty Footprints.
I had an idea, a vague picture in my mind of what I was going for, but I didn’t know how I was going to do it or how it was going to turn out.
I had to be willing to make a total hash of it.
I had to step up to that page, hold that brush with confidence and trust.
Trust in me.
And this is what I learnt… Continue reading
6 days ago one big chapter came to an end and another was about to begin. I decided to write my Juicy Tuesday as I stepped over the threshold…here it is… Continue reading
For today’s Juicy Tuesday I want to introduce you to one of the fabulous women I got to spend time with while in the States. Throughout my journey the soul sistas just kept raining down. It was amazing! Thank you ladies.
This one I caught on camera!
Natasha Reilly of www.creativenachos.com. WHAT a woman. What an inspiration. What a ball of love, laughter, light and sass.
I invited her to wax lyrical with me on living a juicy life so that we could share it with you too.
And so we did, from atop a rock in Central Park. Continue reading
In last week’s JT I declared “I want to experience receiving the kind of passionate love I put out into the world. From me to me. Love on loop. No more of this frugally loving myself, the odd scrap here and there. I want the full monty. No holding back. I want to know what it feels to be loved unconditionally by me.”
So I turned it into a creative project and leapt into it with gusto. Find out how it went… Continue reading
So you know that thing you know you need to do, but keep putting off? You know that change that your soul is whispering to you needs to happen, but that you keep drowning out with other stuff? You know how when you ignore it for long enough eventually life seems to conspire to force your hand to do it? Whether it’s dealing with your money issues, sorting out that health problem or loving yourself?…
Well guess what just happened to me!? Continue reading
The topic today is all about how we navigate our way through life. How do we choose where to go?
How do you choose which direction to take? How did I wind up in the US for 5 weeks? How have you wound up where you are? Do you have a guiding rule that you use to navigate your way through life?
Because I didn’t, or at least I thought I didn’t, until I suddenly found myself with the world as my oyster.
And was suddenly totally and utterly lost… Continue reading
