Seven years ago I was going through so many changes in my life and my body. I remember so clearly asking myself why me?
When we are following all the rules and doing the best we can, we do not always stop to take care of ourselves. I realised that I was so busy looking after everyone else that I neglected me. I went to every volleyball, netball and waterpolo game with my three girls. Helped fundraise for their trips and volunteered to help at the clubs. I was on my own and my whole life was out of balance. My exercise, diet and self worth was being neglected. I even went as far as joining the Lions Club to help in the community. I realised at the time this gave me an identity and a feeling that I was worthy.
Now I realise that my life is for living the best life I can. That with out me looking after myself my darling girls could lose their mother and best friend. After losing my sister Angie and her three children losing their mum this was not an option anymore. I decided to listen to my intuition and take action on what I needed to not only survive but have the strength and wisdom to change many parts of my life.
So now 7 years later I am living my life to the fullest. I have moved to a beautiful part of New Zealand. Away from the busy life of the city. Away from the stress and the pollution. I have found my home on the beautiful Tutukaka Coast at Bluewater Sanctuary. I am at peace within.
My day begins with a meditation and writing in my journal. Followed by a lemon juice and water from my lemon tree. Then a beautiful walk at Matapouri Beach with my best friend Richard and out playful and loved dog Angie. We come home and begin our day with a homemade Green Drink and my one coffee for the day. As we intermittent fast most days we then start our work for the day. For me planning retreats and organising the house for guests. Richard works on the outside jobs and cleaning, gardening etc.
Our brunch is always fresh and full of plant based food. I always take time to savour my meals. This was something I never found time to do in the past during the day. My schedule was always so full. My life is for living.
