Phoebe 'Together'

Following your heart isn’t always a journey along a straight, direct path. Sometimes we stray, get distracted and fall back into patterns from the past. I seem to loop backward and forward! However, it’s mostly a forward direction these days, it’s just a case of regaining focus on what truely matters deep down in my soul and of course in my heart. For this I need to find solace. Driving in the country does it for me. There’s something about propelling forward along a country road surrounded by great expanses of space and sky that connects with my soul. Everything becomes clearer and all the stress and worry is literally blown out of the windows. And even though I have my music blaring and I’m singing at the top of my lungs, I feel at peace, I know who I am and what I need to do. Answers and truths come to me while I’m driving… and sometimes a new Phoebe appears.

TOGETHER

Phoebe was all over the place and just couldn’t seem to get it together. Too many distractions, things to do and places to be had tugged her in so many different directions that she no longer knew if she was coming or going. How much longer could she keep this up? Sometimes you just need to throw caution to the wind, quit the act and start following your heart… x

And remember, always trust your heart… it knows the way.

Finding Peace

Following your heart is a journey that takes you deep inside your soul to find your true authentic self. Unlike the reflection in the mirror or the brave face you put on every morning to show the world just how well you are doing, your true self is vulnerable, passionate, insecure and most likely hidden under years of layered guilt, regret, lies and expectations. It’s the ache in your heart that every now and then cries out and makes you imagine how your life could be if only… Two little words that separate the life you exist in and the life you are meant to live. If only things were different. If only I could run away. If only I didn’t… So you continue struggling until the pull becomes so strong that you are forced to take a leap of faith and follow your heart. Sometimes The Universe will throw in a traumatic event just to get you moving! It’s an adventure like no other on which you’ll lose friends, family, material wealth and possibly your mind, but you’ll gain a life that’s worth living. You’ll find your purpose, love, happiness, your tribe, insight, wisdom and best of all… you’ll find peace. And once you’ve found that there’s no going back!

Love, light and peace,

Heart & Soul

“In the silence we can hear our souls speak.”

I love silence, peace and alone time – it cures everything. It is a blessing. I can hear myself think – it brings a calmness into my world. Early morning is my favourite alone time - it’s my precious “Ah ha!” time when I write and enjoy the best cup of tea ever. It allows me to breathe, clear my head of too many thoughts and prepare for the day ahead. To have a whole day alone is bliss - I’m so thankful for these days.

Right now I feel blessed and happy with who I am and where I am. Can’t imagine being where I was before ever again… I was barely living, just existing. This is my life now – no rushing, just living and being grateful. I’ve finally found the simple life I was dreaming of before, and music that speaks to my heart and soul and keeps me where I need to be.

I love this place – I feel safe and happy here. Finding it was meant to be, even though at the time I didn’t fully know this, but I trusted my gut and took the plunge. Now I know it’s where I’m meant to be right now, for this chapter of my life. Outside my kitchen window there’s a beautiful mountain that whispers to me and tells me the truth of what was before – it connects me to this place, it grounds me. Not far from my door, the countryside calls me to take long drives to loosen any stress that tries to attach itself. It makes me feel free and happy to be alive.

I am so thankful for all the lessons that my old life taught me – they led me here – where a whole new life awaits. This is my time, my life, my true path and my dream come true. I’m thankful for all that I have right now but my life is still a work in progress and there is so much more ahead of me yet… x
