Once again, I will be stepping away from the clinic for a short time and returning to South Australia to be with family following the death of my mother-in-law.

Our family has lost two mothers in a short space of time. I loved them both.

There is no single way to leave your mark on a family. We shape one another through what we give, what we teach, what we struggle with, what we get right, and sometimes what we don't. It all counts.

Life is beautiful and precious.

I'll update my availability and return to appointments once I know our plans. Thank you for your understanding while family takes priority again.

Have you ever stopped to consider how intelligent your body really is?

Every scar.
Every adaptation.
Every response.

At some point, they all had a purpose.

Your body has spent your entire life trying to protect you.

Have you ever tipped a plant out of its pot?

The roots have been growing in circles for so long that they keep growing that way, even when there's fresh soil around them.

People can be a little like that sometimes. We keep responding to life in ways that once made perfect sense.

Sometimes we simply haven't realised we've got more room now.

We all have life moments.

The day you became a parent. The day someone you loved died. Moving house. Changing jobs. A difficult relationship.

But also, a conversation. A comment someone made. A moment you didn't feel seen. A time you realised you had to cope on your own.

Most of us don't remember every detail, but our bodies remember how we adapted. Sometimes those adaptations continue to serve us. But sometimes they quietly become the way we move through life, long after the moment has passed.

Our bodies grow responses for a reason, just as a garden grows what conditions allow. Later we get to decide whether they're still the plants we want to keep.

The agave flower spike is alive with bees. There's a constant hum as they come and go, each one busy with its own job. From a distance it sounds like one continuous buzz but up close it's hundreds of tiny moments happening all at once.

Our bodies evolved surrounded by living ecosystems. The sound of birds, insects, the wind through trees, water moving, changing light, changing seasons. Nature is never silent, but neither is it demanding of our attention.

Even though I don't like gardening much, I always feel better after I've been sitting in the garden with my hands in the dirt.

I wonder if part of feeling "better" is about returning to an environment our nervous system has known for thousands of years.

Life is full of moments. Some are big but most of them are just wonderfully ordinary.

This photo was taken in Esperance many years ago with Mum and my daughter.

At the time it was just another visit from mum and a loooong drive to the beach (we were living in Kalgoorlie at the time). We weren't celebrating anything, we weren't setting out to create memories, we were a family spending time together.

My daughter is now 36 and mum is no longer with us.

Looking back, I'm grateful for this very ordinary moment that became part of a lifetime of memories.

How many of your ordinary moments today will become tomorrow's treasured memories?

I've been away for a month and, in that time, the weeds have done their weedy thing and got busy.

At this time of year my plum tree is flowering, promising plums, and a couple of frontrunner daffodils are brightening up a garden bed. Meanwhile, a few weeds have become many. Dead leaves have built up. Things have spread into places they weren't meant to.

Gardening is an ongoing lesson in maintenance.

We need maintenance too.

Just as my garden doesn't need to be rebuilt from scratch, neither does your body.

Sometimes it needs a bit of space, a bit of attention, and a chance to clear what no longer needs to be there.

Small changes really do add up.

Just as the weeds do.
