Turning 60 and having a few weeks in the Canadian wilderness, walking everywhere every day, breathing in the mountains and having nowhere I needed to be has done something to me…

I really don’t want to go back to the office. 🤪 ha ha..

Turning 60 has me thinking a lot about what I want the next decade of my life to actually look like. And honestly, it’s a little confronting.

Because when you’re busy, there’s always something to do. Work, family, responsibilities, the next thing on the list. Busy fills every little space, so you don’t always have to stop and ask yourself what you actually want.

But having space makes you feel things.

And having time to wander, think, laugh, sit, explore and just be has made me realise I want more of that.

More me.

Not just being there for everyone else. Not always working. Not filling every moment because that’s what I’ve always done.

I don’t have all the answers yet, and maybe that’s the confronting part.

But I do know I want this next decade to feel different.

A little slower. A lot more fun. More adventures. More time with people I love.

And a lot more space to actually be me.

Maybe turning 60 isn’t about figuring it all out.

Maybe it’s about finally giving yourself permission to ask the question...
Anyone else feeling the same.. happy birthday if you are 🎂

Sometimes, when grief feels heavy, picturing our loved one somewhere beautiful can settle the heart for just a moment. 🤍

That’s how my friend’s dad copes with missing someone he loves — imagining them somewhere peaceful, beautiful and free.

Grief is hard. There’s no fixing it, but sometimes a little picture in our mind can bring a tiny moment of comfort

I saw this quote on a T-shirt the other day, and it stopped me in my tracks.

Sometimes a quote seems to find you exactly when you need it.

It’s not really for me… it’s for someone I love deeply and wish I could protect from being hurt again.

“Don’t blame the clown for acting like a clown. Ask yourself why you keep going back to the circus.”

Not because I think we should stop loving people. Some of the hardest relationships to step back from are the ones with family or those we’ve loved for years.

We go back because we hope. We remember the good times. We believe people can change. We want things to be different.

But there comes a point where protecting your own heart isn’t giving up on someone—it’s choosing peace over repeated pain.

If this quote has found you today, maybe it’s simply a gentle reminder that you deserve relationships where love doesn’t keep costing you your wellbeing. ❤️

“Waste not, want not.”
It’s one of those sayings my mum used to repeat that seemed old-fashioned at the time. Yet lately, I find myself hearing her voice more often than ever.
As the cost of food rises, fuel prices fluctuate, insurance premiums increase and we all seem to be paying for multiple streaming services we barely use, that simple piece of wisdom feels surprisingly relevant.
I’ve started looking more carefully at what we’re spending. Do we really need all those subscriptions? Have we compared our insurance lately? Are we using the food in our fridge before buying more? Small things, perhaps, but they add up.
Our parents and grandparents grew up in times that were often much harder than anything many of us have experienced. They knew how to stretch a dollar, make do, mend things, share resources and appreciate what they had.
Maybe their lessons weren’t about being miserly. Maybe they were about being mindful.
⭐️
“Waste not, want not” isn’t just about money. It’s about gratitude. It’s about respecting our resources. It’s about recognising that abundance isn’t found in having more, but in appreciating enough.
The older I get, the more I realise that some of the best life advice didn’t come from a book or a podcast.
It came from Mum, standing in the kitchen, passing down wisdom she learned through experience.
Turns out she was right.

“Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.”

My mum used to say this often, and it wasn’t just about money or opportunities. It was about life.

When I was a teenager, I came down with glandular fever. The advice was simple: go home, go to bed, and expect to be there for weeks. But Mum wasn’t someone who put all her faith in one solution.

Alongside following the doctor’s advice, she found a naturopath who focused on building my body back up with herbs, nutrients, and support. Before long, I was feeling stronger and back at school sooner than anyone expected.

That experience stayed with me.

It taught me that sometimes the best answers come from looking beyond a single perspective. It doesn’t mean ignoring conventional medicine—it means being open to learning, asking questions, and exploring all the support available.

Today, I often think of Mum’s words when it comes to health. Whether it’s for myself or my daughter, I’m always willing to look outside the box, seek different viewpoints, and consider the whole picture.

One of the greatest gifts Mum gave me wasn’t just her advice—it was teaching me to stay curious and never stop looking for ways to help ourselves heal and thrive.

And all these years later, her old saying still guides me:

“Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.”
What advice did your mum give you?

What started as an afternoon stroll to clear my head turned into something much more.

A few deep breaths. The sound of the ocean. My faithful pooch by my side. And then, the most beautiful surprise — my first whales of the season.

It’s amazing how quickly life can shift when we slow down enough to notice it. What began as a walk to de-stress became a reminder that nature has a way of giving us exactly what we need.

Today, it wasn’t about ticking off a to-do list or chasing the next thing. It was about being present. Breathing deeply. Watching in wonder. Feeling grateful.

Sometimes the best moments aren’t planned at all. 💙🐋🐾
