Our January Sacred Essence Circle held the space for visioning for the coming year. It was another beautiful circle, but I found that two hours wasn’t enough time for my plans to fully unfold in a way that I could grasp and use. It did, however provide the inspiration for more exploration – and that … Continue reading »
Little Sunni Chalahn – Facebook Giveaway
I am calling her Sunni Chalahn. Chalahn means rainbow in the language of the Wangeriburra, which is the language group of the local Yugumbeh region that I live in. I called her that because I am hoping to see both the sun AND a rainbow soon because all we’ve had is rain rain rain for … Continue reading »
Random Rumi: I and Thou

Pirate Park and Palm Beach
This morning’s park adventure was at the Pirate Park on the Gold Coast Highway at Palm Beach. You can’t miss it – it has a big pirate boat with an enormous yellow sail shade (with a skull and cross-bones on it). Parking is almost always full. I am not sure why I decided to go there … Continue reading »

Celebrating Play: Simple holiday fun, OUTSIDE
This Christmas holiday break has been WONDERFUL. Nothing else to do except play with family and potter about at home. Christmas brought some fun new focus to play in the form of some wonderful new playthings, but most of the time we’ve been outside enjoying our environment with friends and family. There has been some … Continue reading »
Two Grain-free, Sugar-free Muesli Recipes (well – one recipe and one idea)
I love muesli … it fills me up just the right amount in the morning, and if I eat it with some yogurt and fruit I feel like I am starting the day with a real treat. I grew up eating home-made muesli – I never like boxed cereals much. Those bricks made out of … Continue reading »
