who knew life could be so good ??

Growing up i had a feeling that life was meant to be hard, a struggle a stress, constant worry, i didn't realise it actually is so precious and sacred.



As another year comes and goes another birthday celebrated. I think to myself that with every day i become a little more happy, a little more self assured, a little more confident, a little more content, a little more in love with my life, my friends my family and myself.


This past nine months have been incredible. Firstly to be in the one spot, in the same country, it has allowed me relax, allowed me to get to know people and not have to up and leave but to really get to know people. People that I would consider very good friends, like minded people. People that have thought me that friends can be as good as family. I have also got to see all my old friends got to spend time with them, be part of their lives.

I have lost all my inhibitions, I have become fully comfortable in my own skin and I have learned to live my life not others. I've fully excepted myself for who I am and whats more Ive got to spend the last 28 months getting to know my beautiful daughter and watching her grow into a fantastic little girl. I have watched my business grow from not even planning on being a yoga teacher to watching it flourish. I have met the most beautiful people that come to my classes. Open, kind, loving, caring people. My days are spend, doing what I love, I am surrounded by positive energy. I do not stress or worry where i am going or what i am doing. I am just living, I am no longer waiting to live. Life has begun and I have eventually stepped on board and maximising every minute of every day, as they are valueless. I will not look back on these past years with regrets or wishes or wants. I am doing exactly what i want and whats more i am loving it. I have been given the gift of motherhood and it has not only given me the chance to fall in love again, it has given me the chance to really figure out my values and morals and fully embracing them, to educate another human being and share my journey with her. 

Who knew life could be so great, as we get ready for another trip to India, as we do our last minute prep, as i teach as many classes as i can fit in, as I practice my own yoga, I am so excited to embark our next journey. I am so thankful for my determination and courage. Doing what ever feels right rather then what others think is right. I am thankful for all the people around me who have encouraged me rather than pull me down. I am living my life i do not want to be a by stander in my own life. It feels fantastic, i am ensuring to live my life just as i please and not letting thoughts or anxiety get in my way

When did children become so quiet

Then I noticed how quiet children have gotten. 

As I've gotten much busier working, I make sure to take one or two afternoons where myself and Alessia get on the train and go to dublin. To do some of our favourite things, dance to
Buskers, try new food, look in the shops go to museums. 

Alessia loves the train, although not so relaxing for me. 


As we walk up And down and check out every seat, look out the window play ring a

ring a rosey around the poles. Play eye spy, read books, press the button, the list goes on. It's always a pleasure when there is other children on the train. They help distract her, keep her entertained, but also means we are not the noisiest on the train. As we got on the train last week I thought to myself great loads of other children. 

But to my astonishment they were all so quiet. I couldn't figure out what was wrong. But at further inspection I noticed they all had phones in their tiny hands. As their parents sat and looked out the window and did their own thing.

I felt saddened that this is how our society is going. Are these not the most valuable years where children learn to develop their imagination, their creative side. As we went along in the train there is so many things to see and talk about. I thought to myself how busy my life had come and how important this time was. I know how technology can't be avoided I know it plays a very positive rule in the development and learning of a child. But at a young age I feel it's just hindering their development, speech, and communication, attention span, creativity, relationships.


 As I'm constantly told yes I'm over the top and it doesn't need to be all our nothing. But I'm not sure I feel comfortable with our children becoming so quiet.
