25.01.2022 Exploring for fossils and rockpool treasures on a moody afternoon. Each moment spent outside in nature has the potential to become a mini meditation ~ an opportunity to leave behind worries, tension and maybe even physical pain. It's as if we can allow the wonders of nature permeate our souls. ... When we relax to open, each tiny treasure can bring joy and curiosity. #mindfulliving

25.01.2022 Ready for a delicious week, fuelled by yoga, sunshine, love, zenthai learnings and fulfilling work. #makethelifeyouwant

25.01.2022 She's still got the magic ... mesmerising as ever, Patti Smith and her band, performing her 1975 album Horses #bluesfestbyronbay last night. Soaking up the deliciousness of a slow start, time in the sun and waves now before heading back to @bluesfestbyronbay to see her acoustic set and all the other delights on offer. #feelingblessed

24.01.2022 Oh, that relaxed wave-rider vibe big wide open smiles, free-flowing hair and heart-felt camaraderie. Is this zen-like surfer state borne from adrenaline or the humbling nature of surrendering to the unpredictability of the ocean? ... Perhaps both. Chasing waves is exhilarating, but you also need to let go of ego, muster courage and face fear. Even the best surfers wipeout. And, after every fall, you must choose to rise again ~ to get back on your board and paddle back to the break to wait for the next dream wave. Perhaps it's that magical positive outlook and unbounded hope that overflows into daily life? #surftherapy

24.01.2022 Embracing the "letting go" in life ~ trusting that I'll still have all I need, after a partial backup of my laptop before its brain was wiped to solve a hard drive issue. Just like material possessions in our homes, we often cling to things "just in case" we need them. But how liberating is a clean empty room? Beautiful, uncluttered and simple with space to select just a few things to go into it: what we truly need for everyday living and a few special pieces which sing to... our souls. The twisted irony is for the past few months, my desktop has been a mass of unfiled documents and images. Yesterday I cleaned it all up. Obviously the universe decided I could take the spring clean a little further. See more

23.01.2022 Fuelling a desire to learn to surf ...

20.01.2022 Those days when you hide away with chocolate, a good book and funky music ... #tinyhouseliving #dustybootsmusic

17.01.2022 Ah, that bucket list is getting ticked again! For years I've wanted to try my hand at surfing, even setting myself a mission to have a go before the end of 2017. Someone must have heard me: offers of loaned boards and guidance flooded in. So I ran with it ... WOW! I'm hooked! ... Spent yesterday, with gentle guidance, in the gentle waves at The Pass ~ ended on such a high, topped off by this moody sunset. The sense of achievement is hard to put into words~ I'd put off trying because I thought I wasn't strong enough. Tick-induced Lyme infection is also still playing havoc my body, in part messing as vertigo and spatial perception issues. Yes, it was still there in the water, but where there's a will, there's a way. #livingoncloudnine #conqueringfears #lymedontkillmyvibe

17.01.2022 Those yummy moments of synchronicity I was strangely drawn to photograph this peaceful woman, meditating below the pandanus. On offering her the image a little later, her face lit up with a wide gorgeous grin. ... She explained she'd been meditating about the little things we can each do to put a smile on the face of a stranger. She regularly offers to snap images for sightseeing tourists and had been reflecting about how she might also like more photos of herself. How quickly things can manifest. #thoughtstoreality Such a delight to meet you @livingnaturali . Perfect timing for us both to take to the baby waves as L-platers, playing on surfboards and giggling like kids.

17.01.2022 Letting go: there it was ahead - a split in the road, two paths and an apparent choice . continue with full-time van life or press pause in a fit of radical self care. Somehow it didnt seem like a choice - just a pre-determined diversion on my healing journey. And so, as I sit here on the floor of my new fixed address, looking at this photo of my little van home, Im actively putting aside just a few feelings of loss and letting go of this part of a dream. The easies...t way to remind myself of the wonders of house-life is standing under a hot shower at whim, so too the pleasures of my own toilet, a warm living space, growing veggies, and the ease of cooking healthy warm food in a kitchen. Such first world choices, but also just the tonic on this healing journey. I remind myself that sometimes we just have to be pragmatic. Do I really want to heal? Then make decisions, refine and move forward with focused intention. As my zenthai teacher Gwyn Williams says where the mind goes, the energy flows." So its baby steps at the moment, adjusting, reframing, nesting just a little and laughing a lot: my new house has a storage cupboard with more space than I had in my entire van. In these times of mixed emotions and new patterns I'm also remembering to be kind to myself, to love and to let love flow. Hoping youll stay with me on this journey which is now part-fixed address, part van life and so much an opportunity to share our adventures, reminding each other to open our hearts and trust that all will be well.

17.01.2022 #stealthcamping ~ careful who might see you! In vanlife, home is where you park it, literally. That's good and bad, depending on how friendly the locals are.... Some days we feel welcomed to stay in the most breathtaking overnight stops. Others, it's hard to miss the sharp rebuke of a society, apparently threatened by those who don't tow the line. Ironically we both still mostly share the eat, work, play, sleep routine... we just do things a little differently. I've thought alot about who is happiest: those who live by the rules, following a mostly predetermined formula of expectation and achievement ... or those in vans, who're often misunderstood and branded dirty freeloaders by society. I've concluded life on the road is a gift of freedom. To get here most have had to cast off rules and sometimes accept being judged as weird. Somehow, in letting go, I feel more compassion and connection to those who chart their own path. Nomadic life weeds out all that's unnecessary. Through radical simplicity, the tiniest things become the greatest of delights... even breakfast conversations with scrub turkeys. #homeiswhereweparkit

16.01.2022 Happiness for a girl who rolls on sunshine is a lazy day, playing on a 'Sunshine' branded board (how's that for appropriate), followed by an afternoon and evening of @Bluesfest byronbay with Jethro Tull, Buddy Guy, Santana and Zac Brown

15.01.2022 Rainy day dreaming ~ looking forward to being able to do this again soon...

12.01.2022 Little vans make for perfect tiny homes ~ throw open the back doors and it's hello to sunny beaches, delicious waves and therapeutic salt air. In spite of the occasional cravings for a veggie garden, an epsom salts bath or a place to dry washing when it rains, I sometimes wonder if I'll ever be able to totally give up the freedom of this vagabond life. #livethelifeyouneed

12.01.2022 Healing sunrises - gentle early rays of warmth, surfers on the waves, dogs frolicking with big wide grins and happy grounded people. Such a reminder that we each have a say in our destiny and our happiness. Lots of little steps make for great change ... if we're brave enough or mad enough to embrace it. #consciousliving

09.01.2022 Returning to stillness Such a beautiful quiet dawn, reminding of the need to slow down again and return to balance after a delicious week music, laughter, love and surf.

03.01.2022 The wash of soft pre-dawn hues joined forces with the gentle swish of the waves ~ a quiet reminder to focus on the moment. Would it matter in a week or a month or a year? Likely not. ... #beherenow #liveinthemoment

03.01.2022 Have you ever looked closely at a flame? The reds and yellows are easy to see, but deep in the center of the flame is blue. You can easily avoid the blue, miss it altogether if you just look at the surface colors. But always blue is here, deeper than where your vision stops ~ the inspiration of #daviddeida

03.01.2022 Happy 4th birthday @onewaveisallittakes So much fun to join the fluro wave this morning at Moffatt Beach - one of more than 60 beaches across the world, shaking out the funk with good people and salt water therapy.... Hats off to @granttrebilco who began his #onewave movement by opening up with surfer mates about mental health and his challenges with bipolar. Nothing like shining light on the dark with some #vitaminsea

02.01.2022 'The waves of the sea help me get back to me ...' looking forward to the weekend ... #playtime
