Heart-Living

The word ACCEPTANCE can be so misunderstood (and often rejected), especially in the context of change!

Most of the time, when we are trying to change, we are in denial of what isn’t working. We try to ignore it or hide it in hope that no one else will notice. Sometimes we are completely oblivious to what is going on under the surface.

Once we can appreciate why our sabotaging behaviours get in the way from our success, CHANGE is possible with more ease and flow. PLUS, we will show up more authentically than ever.

🌿 Join me in the next Conscious Action Workshops in Singpore on either 25th Feb or 12th March. https://heart-living.com/upcoming-workshops/. 🌿

The side view from my office chair. This is where I sit, with my computer in front of me.

Whenever I need a bit of inspiration, I look out my window to connect with nature. When I’m really stuck, I step outside!

🌿 What are some of the things you do when you want to tap into your creativity? 🌿

Behind the scenes of www.heart-living.com :

When we are in nature’s presence, we immediately feel the inherent raw beauty of the landscape, trees, flowers, leaves and animals we encounter. We take nature in with curiosity, admiration, appreciation, acceptance…

It’s usually a very different story when we are interacting with people. We are emotionally triggered by each other: we experience anger, sadness, loneliness, guilt, jealousy, shame, fear, love, joy, connection and so much more. 

So why is it that our relationship with nature is so different from our relationship with fellow human beings?

I believe, like French philosopher Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, that “we are spiritual beings having a human experience”. We live life as a human to learn, grow and evolve. Life is about using our talents to make the world a better place in some way: personally and/or professionally. It is about learning to accept/appreciate/love yourself and others. And we can do that by using our human experience in relation to the other, as a sort of mirror, to become aware of our behaviours that either serve us for a given purpose or hold us back.

As I share with you today that I am launching a website, I hope you can notice your triggers and see through the seeming superficiality of this act.

For me, this website represents the next level of being vulnerable in my sharing with you and working through my resistance to being more visible by putting myself out here on social media. It is about sharing with the world what lies within my heart. It is about sharing my deepest wish for myself and others who want to walk this path with me.

I aspire to live consciously every day. I allow my heart to lead my way to an increasingly purposeful life. I trust my intuition more and more. I allow my fears to shed day by day. I DO all this, in the hope that I can BE the best version of myself so I can serve for the highest good.

I hope you will join me.

And please visit www.heart-living.com! Thank you.

You hope for the better: sometimes things go your way; sometimes it doesn’t. You blame the other…
🔭 Or you become CURIOUS. Ask yourself, what else might be going on under the surface?

You get hurt. You retaliate….
🔭 Or you forgive.

A comment offends you. You stiffen up.
🔭 Or you enquire further….

Someone questions your position. You defend it.
🔭 Or you wonder how the other might perceive things….

Some Benefits of being curious:
🔭 It helps you grow and learn
🔭 It makes you look at things in a unique way: more creativity and innovation
🔭 It keeps you engaged (you are never bored)
🔭 It expands your empathy
🔭 It helps strengthen relationships
🔭 It takes you from “hoping for the better” to “making things better”
🔭 It is the antidote to being defensive.
🔭 It dampens the fight or flight centers in our brain so we can be more open, vulnerable and we can create greater self awareness, ultimately leading to living more consciously and authentically.

Last year many of us went into deep reflection as we saw the world as we knew it change. I encourage you to continue that thought process. What intentions do you want to set for the year ahead? What would make your life more meaningful and purposeful? A tiny behavioural shift is, sometimes, all it takes to bring what you truly desire into your life.

Do share! I am here to support you in your journey.

🎄 God Jul. 🎄 Merry Christmas. 🎄 Feliz Navidad. 🎄

I live in the tropics. Here, we can’t make a snowman ⛄️ out of snow 🌨… but there are other ways! A sockman 🧦 it is then. 😝

This year has been filled with disparity! Whilst uncomfortable, I have found that changing perspective is the best way to see life through a different lens.

We are creatures of habit. I am not sure about you, but I often find that I sit at the same chair at the dinner table. The other week, I changed seats which gave me the opportunity to appreciate a completely different view, allowing me to soak in the beauty of the enormous frangipani tree outside my house.

Yesterday there was a huge downpour. Instead of staying inside, keeping dry, staying in our comfort zone... my daughters and I went outside to dance in the rain. Screaming with joy, laughing, hugging, running, jumping… so much fun! Yet another way to invite newness into my life.

What will you do this festive season that will shift your energy and perspective?

What line will you cross today that will allow you to step out of your comfort zone and allow you to grow?

Yesterday I took a holi-day! It’s incredible what good a day away from your daily routine can do. I feel refreshed and energized.

🎊 This weekend is symbolic as we celebrate the Festival of Lights, of new beginnings and the triumph of good over evil, and light over darkness. Happy Deepavali! 🎊

Self Reliance arises when we can trust ourselves to act consciously in alignment to our truth. This occurs when 💛 Heart and 🧠 Mind are in Synergy.

💛 Heart: inner wisdom, intuition, guidance, hunches, feelings, insights, gut
🧠 Mind: intellect, logic, rational thinking, knowledge, ego

When we see life exclusively through the filter of the mind, we can become confused, indecisive and life can feel complicated and complex. When you take the time to allow your heart’s truth to be known, you gain a new level of clarity. As the two come together in perfect harmony, anything is possible because….

💛 Heart is the feminine energy that nurtures creativity - our internal compass
🧠 Mind is the masculine energy that identifies the consciousness that arises from the creative flow, transforms this energy into action allowing change to take place.


As we tune into our heart we can start making conscious choices in our life.
We live our truth.
We are self reliant.
We live consciously.

👻🎃💀 I love Halloween 👻🎃💀

My daughters both had two friends over (in keeping with the current Covid redirections) for pumpkin caving, a candy hunt & a sizzling hot tropical camp fire roasting marshmallows! 🔥

I had so much fun. I left like a kid again. I think they did too... 😝

Learn By Heart - Live With Heart!

I have been blown away by the amazing connections, the synchronicities and the opportunities that have come my way this week.

As I live my life more consciously day by day, I feel more joy and lightness in every cell of my body.

Want to join me? I would love to work with you through a powerful coaching journey.

Multitasking at its best! Website creation, physio to strength thumb after tearing a ligament and preparing the brew for my next batch of kombucha...
