Hello morning soul expression session in my studio.
There’s this notion that creativity, movement forward, healing, revelations, aha-moments and pearls of wisdom come from not only our depths but that they must be excavated, unearthed, unveiled or realised through suffering, struggle, pain, anger or frustration.
Oh yes, in those depths there’s gold.
As there is in rebellion and raging against the machine angst.
And there’s also wild precious gold that shows itself and speaks to us in the depths of our calm and peace, in our silence and solitude, in being with our own self and being our real self when with loved ones, in our love and light.
And even in our pure wanting of and leaning into that.
What if just for right now you let yourself be whole enough, enlightened enough, healed enough to drop into deeper peace with who you are in this moment?

Lutadora helped me gather flowers for my recent Way of the We.Moon, Medicine Circle honouring the New Moon in Sagittarius.
Lutadora does whatever makes her genuinely feel good.
Which is exactly what this New Moon encouraged us to reach for.
It surfaced questions like;
How do I really want to feel?
What do I truly want to hold in my focus?
Preparing the ground for you to seek and find new ways to experience more of your authentic self.
Like for Lutadora.
She’s one of my rescued hens. Every one of her sisters are happy as clams to walk around the garden.
This chickie?
She’d prefer to walk up the stairs, stroll around the veranda and see if she can come into the house.
With flowers gathered, paper and pastels ready this was the sacred centre for our Circle.
And with each New and Full Moon births out a Moon Mantra.
Use this one to soothe your way forward from where you are right now.

As we say hello to December, it arrived with a gush of inspiration. So I took straight to the studio with an idea I’ve had for a while.

Well, today was the day.

Light the world with your light.
25 inspired advent calendar nudges.

No matter how many trips around the Sun we experience, if there’s someone who has zero concern about age, it’s our inner child.
The older we get, it might seem “grown up” to dismiss or deny the many qualities and experiences that are natural to our inner child. Whether we were given safe space to express and embody these qualities in our actual childhood or not.
Things like;
Day-dreaming; and seeing the value in that.
Using our imagination; as a deliberate visioning tool for tuning into what we do want.
Having fun; we’re talking authentic fun versus activities that numb our senses or mask how we truly feel. This includes having fun being yourself.
Making art; allowing our inner world to communicate with us (via any medium that calls us).
Being curious; open to the new and eager to grow and expand.
Quiet time; as one way to regulate emotions, which can show up as a nap or ‘me-time’.
Being creative; exercising creativity as self-empowering expression.
Inspired movement; being in tune with your body and what it needs.
Play; an uplifting way to integrate and embody more of who you really are as it engages our physical being while simultaneously stimulating our senses.
And more.
Your inner child has an innate connection to all of this; day-dreaming, imagination, fun, art-making, curiosity, quiet time, creativity, movement and play – and a natural knowing of how to connect with each.
Check in with how many of these you recognise as being in your childhood.
How many of these are in your life right now?
The other night inspired movement showed up for me as as a need to lay down on my dining room floor and be still for a few minutes. I had a few things to do before bed but in the same moment I felt ready for sleep. The next best thing felt like being on the floor, so that’s exactly what I did. I could have talked myself out of it, said “That’s ridiculous!” or completely ignored the thought. It’s not my usual place to lay down in Shavasana (a yoga pose for relaxation), but my body was saying this is what I am needing right now.
Did it feel silly?
Did it matter if it felt silly?
I did it anyway.
And a few minutes later I felt so much better.
Without feeling ashamed or belittling myself that that was what I need in the moment.
As grown-ups even when we connect or have a conscious connection to qualities and experiences that are natural for our inner child (whether they were in our actual childhood or not), we tend to carry these heavier emotions such as guilt, shame, unworthiness or inadequacy, and other judgements along for the ride.
When we allow space for what we want to express, it allows space for what our inner child wants to express too. And vice versa.
Want the printable poster?
As a playful way to connect to and allow space for your inner child, I made a free printable poster for you. Pop your name in below and I’ll send you the high quality printable. You’ll also be on my list for regular soul-nourishing goodness (psst. this is where I tuck in exclusive offers + freebies). Yay!
Yes! Send me the poster!

This sentence is really lighting up for me right now. It birthed out while I was writing this poem.
I love how the interpretation of this sentence shifts depending on which word you emphasise.
Being you is vital nectar.
You are the only you on Mama Earth. One in billions. An embodied miracle. When you move in alignment with who you are, you are in the widest receiving mode of all that you desire to be, do, say, have, feel and experience.
Being you is vital nectar.
There are a gazillion other things you could be DOING other than BEING you. Like resisting, dismissing, suppressing, avoiding, belittling, judging, stifling, squashing, ignoring, denying, limiting, blocking, doubting, sabotaging or any other ING that turns your ancient yet ever-expanding star-dusted light way way down.
Being you is vital nectar.
Vital = essential. When wellness is essential to you, being you is essential to your wellness.
Being you is vital nectar.
It is the highest quality of personalised life-enhancing fuel in the entire Universe when you allow yourself to be who you are. It’s soul-nourishing balm. It’s a potent and powerful elixir for your best-feeling self and life.
As you go about your week, may you create an abundance of vital nectar.
And how to do that?
Be you.
Thank you for being here and reading these words.
