Life Priorities

We all have our priorities in life, they are the things that we care most about and they help us find direction and meaning in our lives. As a mother my biggest priority is my children,they are the most important thing in my life and they come first. There is no question about that.

I have a responsibility to provide them with a nurturing and stimulating environment and in doing so, I also provide it for myself.
Showing them the importance of nurturing themselves is something that I have been trying to put into practice.

So even though I will hands down say they are my no.1, my relationship with them has come full circle back to me and how I need to care for myself. So that in meeting their needs, I first must meet my own. Saying something is one thing, but living it is another and that is what will leave a more lasting impression.

Connection means everything, connection to self and connection to nature. If we are to find the strength to get through life and it's many challenges, we need to access our inner power. We need to sit with ourselves and keep meeting ourselves, as we are changing all the time.

When we are connected, we begin to honour ourselves, to honour our bodies. We start to treat our bodies with respect, focusing on what we consume and how we live. We strive to be in full health, so we take responsibility for our well being.

Recognizing our place in the world,allowing ourselves to connect with the wild, ignites a passion in us, a passion for the earth we tread upon. A healthy body is nothing without a healthy earth. They are intertwined, we can not have one without the other. What we do to the earth, we ultimately do to ourselves. Helping others to make this connection is a huge priority in my life.

Because when we refuse to see the connection, we separate ourselves from what comes natural in life. We begin to look outwards in order to become fulfilled, we spend our time searching, when all along what we need is what we hold within.

How we treat ourselves, how we treat others, how we birth our young, it all stems from our connection to the earth, or lack of it.

We make decisions everyday that affect the earth, being aware of those decisions and the impact they have, is the first step in changing. We need to be aware, to educate ourselves and to stop turning the other way. Living consciously is hugely important to me and the way in which I raise my children.

Taking the time to be out in nature, to work with the soil and let my life flow with the seasons, all of these things deepen my connection and help me thrive in my life.

Connecting with others and creating community are also really important to me. Creating a space where we can bring people together and be inspired, is what we need in order to move forward. Along with reaching out to others and helping to lessen the divide that is so prominent in today's society.

Connection, Connection, Connection, my priories are all about connection.


To put my intentions
out into the world
to witness my visions
to watch them unfurl.
To be strong in my stance,
to keep finding ways to advance
to open my body
and allow myself to dance,
to the rhythms of the earth,
to the cycles of my womb,
to honour my body
to watch myself bloom.
To listen to those voices
whose words,
created choices,
who lit up the way
who fought
to create each new day.
To be gentle,
to be a warrior too,
to create this union
to stand tall with you.
