Ritual is all about intention, how it feels, what you bring to that moment. From the outside it looks like not much, but its all about what’s going on in my inner world.

This year is my 55th, and my mornings have become so much more flexible. There’s no dogma, just joy. When I have a lazy morning, I really enjoy that stretch of free time.

I wont give the key away right now, but instead give you a cute story first.

In the cobbled bustling streets of Venice, the couriers and delivery men yell ‘Attentione’. All the tourists look up, shuffling out of the way. Its the cutest and most alarming thing to have someone yell like this as you are just meandering down a cute little Venice alley. Attentione!!!

My Yoga teacher many moons ago said she was meeting up with one of her students in France for tea. They and their families just happened to be in the same part of the world for 24 hours and would meet for tea. Tea sounds different to coffee, it has a gentleness about it that I now appreciate.

I love how synchronicity works too. You’ll love this story. So last year I was in town with a friend visiting a cute Japanese store called Simply Native. They sell the most divine incense, that’s why we went. A day trip of sorts. After I got home, I enjoyed the incense so much that I signed up for their newsletter.

What happens when we choose, is we become responsible in some way for those choices. Maybe that’s why is easier for some to fall into things, then there’s no way they are having to own those decisions. There must be something appealing to them to not make decisions, at all.

This year to help with my return to full health (no frosho & no broken foot), I started following a few inspiring ladies on Instagram. And you know how that rabbit hole goes, more & more started popping up. Loving the alga-rhythm for this right now.

Like this sweet altar tucked in a Venetian lane, we get better with age. We get better with the years, with introspection, with reflection, with intention.

‘Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards’ Soren Kierkegaard.

I’ve loved seeing how my clients live, what they are up to, who they see, are they social or not. My favourite books mentioned above, where all about seeing how people live so I loved discovering this theme running through my life.

For the first time in years, I actually journaled most days of this year. It started as a way to track a few new habits and it turned into so much more. This daily practice has given me so much useful information; what new habits worked, which ones didn’t and why, it helped me see what lights up my heart and why, places that I love being in, and so much more.
