Mentor Note #158 Mentor Note: “Your life is always speaking to you. Most of its wisdom arrives in moments too ordinary to be noticed.” - Sally Polihronas Lets Dive in... Hello Reader, Today's quote really is my philsophy for life, and how I have lived my life for many years. Even to the point where many around me think that the deepest wisdom has come from my biggest moments, but in actual fact it's in the ordinary moments where I have learnt the most. We are taught to look for life-changing...

Mentor Note #157 Mentor Note: “You do not need to become worthy of what you are asking for. You may need to become available for it.” - Sally Polihronas Lets Dive in... Hello Reader, Last week I wrote about the ideas that do not leave us, the ones that remain while we grow into the person capable of carrying them. That thought led me back to a teaching from David Ghiyam. He describes prayer as a technology: not simply a way of asking for what we want, but a practice that transforms us and...

Mentor Note #156 Mentor Note: “The inner work was never meant to keep you inside yourself. It was preparing you to step forward differently.” - Sally Polihronas Lets Dive in... Hello Reader, This week I have been thinking a lot about the Book, Big Magic, Elizabeth Gilbert writes about ideas as living energies that arrive looking for someone willing to bring them into the world. If we do not respond, she suggests they may eventually move on and find another person to carry them. I have always...

Mentor Note #155 Mentor Note: “The inner work was never meant to keep you inside yourself. It was preparing you to step forward differently.” - Sally Polihronas Lets Dive in... Hello Reader, Last week I wrote about the moment when the inner work must become movement. I have stayed with that thought the whole week, and it had me thinking. Knowing it is time to move and understanding what that movement should look like are not always the same thing. We often imagine action as something bold and...

Hello Reader, This lions gate energy has had me really reflecting this week, everyone has been manifesting their hearts out to create and expand their reality. This is where I landed...

Mentor Note #153 Mentor Note: “Wisdom comes with winters.” - Oscar Wilde Lets Dive in... Hello Reader, I'm still in my 50 birthday energy, and as I sit here I know that I don't feel wiser because I have all the answers. I feel wiser because I am less willing to abandon what I already know. I have lived through enough seasons to recognise the difference between hope and denial. Between grace and self-abandonment, between caring for someone and carrying what was never mine to hold. This is the...

Mentor Note #152 Mentor Note: "Intuition whispers. Fear insists." - Sally Polihronas Lets Dive in... Hello Reader, There are moments in life when the hardest thing isn't making the decision. It's trusting yourself enough not to make it too quickly. This week I made a decision that had been quietly sitting with me for weeks, actually months. It wasn't a decision I wanted to rush. In fact, I was determined not to. I've learnt that some of the biggest mistakes we make happen when we confuse a...

Mentor Note #151 Mentor Note: "There comes a moment in every healing journey when the lesson is no longer learning to forgive; the lesson becomes learning to stop accepting what continues to hurt you." - Sally Polihronas Lets Dive in... Hello Reader, For most of my life, I have believed deeply in the power of self-awareness. Learning to look inward, understand our reactions and take responsibility for our own emotional world has been one of the greatest gifts I have given myself. I started...

Mentor Note #150 Mentor Note: "The mirror will never smile before you do." - Unknown Lets Dive in... Hello Reader, Ok, I'm going straight in this week because when I read this quote I just had to share it. I literally paused and smiled when I read it. When you first read it, it sounds simple and maybe even obvious. But the more I thought about it, the more I realised that most people wait for the outside world to change before they allow themselves to feel different on the inside. You wait...

Mentor Note #149 Mentor Note: "Our lives are shaped by what we repeatedly honour." - Sally Polihronas Lets Dive in... Hello Reader, I came across this quote recently and it stayed with me. "Our lives are shaped by what we repeatedly honour." I think because, as I’ve entered this new chapter of life, I’ve been reflecting on what we give our attention to and how much those small, everyday choices quietly shape who we become. We often think our lives are changed by the big moments. The career...
