Dear readers and friends, The past few months have featured some big life transitions… and I’ve been less frequent blogging, whilst at the same time, working to keep my creative spark (and projects) nourished and alive. Writing has always helped me to navigate challenging moments in life as well as process major events I’m experiencing.ContinueContinue reading “Love Letters in the Ether”

The Ash from which the Fireweed Sprouts
It’s been a couple of weeks now since I announced my poetry collection Wildfire, which will be released on July 22. And it’s been a very eventful time at that: much like the way the jungle grows during wet season here. The land changes daily. Mushrooms sprout up endlessly on twigs, branches, logs. Even on my house…ContinueContinue reading “The Ash from which the Fireweed Sprouts”
Updates from the Jungle… and launching my Substack
Dear Readers, It has been some time since I blogged here, half a year ago, and there is so much to share about that I could probably write a novel. To give a brief summary, my husband and I made a sudden move back to our land in Costa Rica, after spending the wet seasonContinueContinue reading “Updates from the Jungle… and launching my Substack”
The Meaning of Perfection
… is the working title of one of the poetry anthologies I’m aiming to get released later this year. In part, the title reflects my own journey with perfectionism and arriving to the point of “letting go” when it comes to my art. It’s also about the journey of life – finding perfection in eachContinueContinue reading “The Meaning of Perfection”
In deep presence…
There is only Now… to surrender totally and wholly into living. This spoken word/poetry piece just burst out of me the other evening, around sunset time. I hope it offers you some inspiration and a spark of courage to dive deeper into doing the things that you love doing; living your life more fully andContinueContinue reading “In deep presence…”
My novel Siege… now published!
Those fortress walls you built to defend your gold, your riches from your neighbour’s clutches; sturdy stone, would stand many egos, over aeons, and yet, could never protect you from that darkness lurking within your own heart that sickness, breeding from the depths of that very earth you spoilt when you made her a slaveContinueContinue reading “My novel Siege… now published!”
Illusions on the Healing Path
There’s not always, “more work to do”… for there is a point when our healing path permits us to be healed… a shift in our perception an irreversible realisation allowing a break from the illusion – stop chasing after tears in the name of releasing fears excuses to invite in pain when the rains haveContinueContinue reading “Illusions on the Healing Path”
Sailing into our Souls
“I’ll look deep into, those muddy brown waters, and yet- see clearer, right through, than many times before; For I feel, an honest brilliance, emanating from the depths, of those gateways, into your Soul… Your eyes, like polished windows, the veil lifted, inviting me to look within; there’s no secrets here, nor twisted lies You’veContinueContinue reading “Sailing into our Souls”
Here I Am…
Here I am, just as I am With all that I am This Human form: Imperfections of my body And shadows within my heart That I’m learning Slowly learning To hold, with peace and Love — And so I reveal to you The fiery innocence of my Passions The girl, beneath the woman The childContinueContinue reading “Here I Am…”
The Dancer
As dew drops sparkle On grass so green And sunlight filters Through youthful trees You’ll spot her whirling An ethereal mist Her presence splintered into A thousand golden rays Music is playing But it’s not to be heard A silent song rising From slender lithe limbs And her heart lies open ExposedContinueContinue reading “The Dancer”
