I nearly didn’t get around to posting this weekend, as the last fortnight has been a blur of struggle and challenge (despite some beautiful highs). Yet, in the midst of much destabilisation and uncertainty, I nevertheless today found a moment of peace and calm, and a surge of energy to write and to share withContinue reading “Home… Wherever We Go”

Timeless… off the Icefields Parkway
Hello dear reader — I am back again after a little break from blogging! I hope this post finds you well, enjoying life, and making the most of all that its journey has to offer… At my end, it has been a busy couple of months touring with music across Western Canada, with my partnerContinue reading “Timeless… off the Icefields Parkway”
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 eachContinue reading “The Meaning of Perfection”
Bird with a Broken Wing
The other day, our dog Sadie caught (and killed) a bird in the garden. Although I felt deeply saddened by the death of the bird, it was of course impossible to be angry at her. A dog’s natural instincts are to hunt and kill for food (as that is how they would survive in theContinue reading “Bird with a Broken Wing”
Snowmelt
I give thanks for the way you melt my ice, when my peaks have frozen, from over exposure, to poisonous echoes from the past… ~ A poem about recovery from trauma. A reminder to all those who have suffered deep pain, that you can be set free from your suffering. May love warm your soul,Continue reading “Snowmelt”
el Camino (the Path…)
In this week’s blog post, I’m very excited to announce the release of my latest single (and first song in Spanish), el Camino (which translates to the Path/Way). This song is many things – it opens up Pandora’s box of stories to tell you. It started out as a break-up song – actually, the firstContinue reading “el Camino (the Path…)”
In deep presence…
One of the things that I love about my life in Costa Rica is how connected I am to nature’s rhythms. I wake with the sunrise, and wind down with sunset. These times are sacred to me: times when the veil between worlds (of earthly reality and the spirit realm) is at its thinnest. IContinue reading “In deep presence…”
Origins of a Colourful Hat Collection
I wrote a fun poem the other day about identity and self-expression: inspired by the colourful hat collection that I have in London. I was going through old boxes, trying on old outfits (hats, clothes, shoes), reflecting on my personal evolution since I had last worn these items. At the same time as noticing howContinue reading “Origins of a Colourful Hat Collection”
Spirit’s Footsteps in the City
It’s strange to return to a big city after so much time living in the wilderness. The other week, I opened up an old box of my things, taking out clothes belonging to a past version of myself, and making me feel somewhat of a ghost in my own skin. Echoes of a former lifeContinue reading “Spirit’s Footsteps in the City”
A little update… 3 years on
It’s been 2 months since I landed back in Costa Rica this year (after a few months in Canada), and 3 years since I first visited the country (from London). What was meant to be a 3-week holiday back then morphed into a major life adventure, when the pandemic sent the world into mayhem, bordersContinue reading “A little update… 3 years on”
