    Actually… nobody apart from me.Dear friends and readers, let me rewind:As a growing woman I have evaluated all of my beautification processes in the last year and asked myself deeply whether it was a waste of time or not. I wanted to feel good and feel like myself but didn’t want to waste time nor money on things that didn’t actually improve my life nor my mood.One day, as I panic shaved my legs because I knew I was going to our first spring swim of the year (end of May) I asked Leon:Do you spen

    Dear friends and readers, I have been missing contributing to the community and offering practices so much recently. I have looked long and hard whether I would like to start teaching in person classes again but it is not possible for me right now. The level of commitment and time that it takes to travel to a studio, set up, teach, clean up, drive home… it is simply not that time of my life right now.At first, I thought this was a dead end. But then I remembered that I spent years teaching and r

    The day commences extremely well, we are feeling super rested and genuinely happy to be on the road again. I feel a knot in my stomach throughout breakfast as I know today is by far the longest stretch we’ll be walking and the weather is looking HOT.I relish in the knowledge that this section of the Coast Path is described as moderate instead of the strenuous grading we’ve had for most of the other days.I’m a woman on a mission today.
