  • Stories from my grandfather

    Stories from my grandfather

    What can we gain from those who have lived a length of their life before us? I’m just sitting on the train now on the way back from Galway after visiting my Grandfather for the weekend and I am wrecked. I have been bombarded with information over this weekend without even realizing it! How lucky am…

  • Fill up your own cup.

    Fill up your own cup.

    I read this line earlier – ‘mornings are about renewal.’ WELL. It’s like that line was written right when I woke up this morning because for the first time in a while I had the morning to do whatever I wanted in that moment and it felt so great. I spent an hour and a…

  • Writing when I feel bad.

    Writing when I feel bad.

    Today feels really hard. Yesterday felt extremely hard. My parents sold my family home yesterday. I feel like the roots I had in this Earth have been uplifted without any closure. I’m not there, so what can I do? It feels surprisingly (yet also familiarly) lonely. I know I’m here, in Ireland, with a great…

  • A steady drip is a good flow.

    A steady drip is a good flow.

    I woke up this morning at 615 am so that I could drive to Shannon Airport with my roommate (who is an absolute angel by the way) to pick up my Grandfather. He is visiting Ireland for the first time and he will be here for the next 6 weeks exploring the country of his…

  • The present is a present.

    Happy Saturday everyone! So I’ve been meditating now for the past 13 days every morning. I love it. It’s really helped me to set myself up for the day and to remain in the present. If you want to try this 21 Day Meditation go right ahead I’d love to hear from you about how you’re enjoying…

  • Finding your truth.

    So here’s a thought for a Friday. Give yourself the weekend maybe to ponder this. How do you know what you know? How did you learn it? Who did you learn it from? Who did they learn that from? How do you know its the truth? Is it fact? Just think about these things for the…

  • Alright Alright Alright

    Let’s talk about how we get places. Let’s just really talk about that because as far as I know… teleportation doesn’t exist yet RIGHT? Definitely not because if it did I’d be in a million places a day hah! Anyway I was reminded of something today, by someone who inspired me greatly this weekend. He…

  • How far can you push it?

    How far can you push it?

    What do you think about that? Do you ever just think… oh I have to save my energy for ___. Better hold back now so I can save it for later. Do you ever go for a run and decide to take it slow for the first 19 minutes because you are running for 20……

  • Allowing myself to be supported

    When I was younger I used to wonder. I was a perpetual wonderer. I think I still am but sometimes I feel it’s been a bit dimmed down. When I was young I could wonder about anything because I had two super heroes for parents who obviously knew everything. And if they didn’t well then…

  • Here is my take on self-worth

    Here is my take on self-worth

    You can’t put a price on your self-worth. And so what happens when people try to do that? You learn to fight for what you think is right… eventually. Allow me to share. It hit me like a ton of bricks today and it was so gratifying. Someone was trying to sell me something. Something…
