I’m now on my last full day in Hong Kong before I fly back home and I am reflecting on my time here. I had crazy anxiety and panic attacks leading up to this trip, and whilst some of my fears did come to fruition, my time here also meant I could confront those challengesContinue reading “Small Steps = Big Wins”

I was lost… and now I’m found.
I’ve been learning a lot about myself whilst I’m in Hong Kong. My capacity to love, to be compassionate, patient and understanding. On this trip I’ve been verbally and physically showing my family how much I care about them, even though in our family (and many South East and East Asian families) we don’t openlyContinue reading “I was lost… and now I’m found.”
I am Enough
I lost my shit this week. A bit more than I had last week, and a bit more than the week before. Sometimes we carry burdens for far too long by ourselves, thinking we can sort it out and everything will be fine. Then these issues and problems don’t get sorted, and like a drippingContinue reading “I am Enough”
Grief – It’s so hard to say goodbye
Grief is the purest sign of love. It’s a culmination of the memories, moments & time we spent with those we cherished. We never have enough time with those we love. If only we could have had one more day, one more week, one more month and even better, one more year to let themContinue reading “Grief – It’s so hard to say goodbye”
The Power of Love
One of my favourite songs is Frankie Goes to Hollywood ‘The Power of Love’. I experienced how powerful love really is on my wedding day very recently. I spent the early morning in tears because I was missing my dad. I didn’t even get to know him as he passed away when I was 2,Continue reading “The Power of Love”

It was my birthday this week. I am blessed and grateful to see another day, another year, especially during a time of worldwide collective grief as the pandemic continues. Despite the difficulties of the last eighteen months where I have been actively healing myself and learning from some very difficult lessons, I have finally beenContinue reading “Growing into our power”
Inner Child Healing
I have been in a reflective mood recently. I had hit a brick wall and I was in a funk, recent events have jolted me out of this and I realise how much more healing work I have ahead of me. I’m now ready to continue my journey. We all have an inner child. ForContinue reading “Inner Child Healing”
New Year, New Me… or can I just be ‘me’?
1st Jan 2021. Happy New Year. I usually feel awkward wishing people a happy new year, especially after what has globally been such a difficult and traumatic time for many. I usually start the year feeling anxious for numerous reasons and I put that feeling aside because I don’t want to overshadow an opportunity forContinue reading “New Year, New Me… or can I just be ‘me’?”
‘Tis The Season To Be Jolly…
What does this time of year mean for you? Does it give you a warm, fuzzy feeling? Fill you with happy memories of Christmases with loved ones, handing out presents around the tree, being with family and eating lots of food, watching the Queen’s speech and having an afternoon nap then looking forward to anContinue reading “‘Tis The Season To Be Jolly…”
Love, Loss & Grief
24 years ago my partner died. I have never written about that time, even though I journal and blog. There was always a part of me that didn’t want to bring up those memories again, the time now feels ‘right’ as this month is the anniversary of his death. Grief is a cruel, ongoing lessonContinue reading “Love, Loss & Grief”
