Quiet Reflections and Deep Dives
100 Days of Blue
Caregiving demands your full heart and energy - and caring for yourself often falls to the bottom of the to‑do list. 100 Days of Blue is an invitation to everyone to weave time with water into their summer routines. Grounded in Blue Mind science, this summer celebration helps you step into a calmer and more connected space, find mental clarity, and renew your emotional well‑being -one water encounter at a time.
Discover how intentional water moments can transform your self-care practice, sense of wellbeing and feelings of heart-centred interconnectedness.
Clarity
I loved the quote in the bookshop window: ‘You cannot discover new oceans unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.’ Andre Gide. Sometimes finding the courage to step away from the shore is even more acute when the way ahead is emerging, to be discovered, or even simply opaque!
Deeply connect to find renewal
In this season generosity it's easy to forget that this season of giving - of time and of love - is also by its very nature a time of receiving. For those whose lives are lived in the service of others it can feel harder to receive than to give, harder to take time to recharge and take care of ourselves and our wellbeing, but it's so important. It needn't be complicated, but it may take some work to ease into a space that feels restorative.
For the first time in 26 years I will not be working at Christmas. It's a gift, but I'm aware I'm also putting myself under a little pressure to 'do' something, to use the time 'wisely'. After a lot of change this year, I know time to recharge is so important, and 'being' is my heartfelt need this Christmas, so that afterwards I might be energised and my most creative self.
