**Where is your energy going?**

Have you ever had one of those days where you haven't really done much, but somehow you feel completely exhausted?

Sometimes it's not what we're doing that drains us.

It's what we're thinking about.

Worrying about something we can't change.

Trying to keep everyone else happy.

Going over the same conversation in our heads.

Thinking about everything we still need to do.

Our energy can be pulled in so many different directions without us even noticing.

So today, perhaps just stop for a moment and ask yourself...

**Where is my energy going?**

And is there somewhere I could bring a little of it back to myself?

Sometimes we need to remember that we are allowed to keep some of our energy for us too. 🤍

So excited to see this book in print, my writing is included which is just amazing! Thoroughly recommend purchasing this for some great bite-sized reading 😊

How beautiful is this cover?

We're so proud of our final Breath anthology cover, with illustration done by the exceptionally talented Olivia Aroha Giles!

Preorders open this month with the books arriving in October - exciting!

**You don't have to start again just because it's Spring.**

There seems to be a lot of talk about new beginnings when Spring arrives.

New goals.
New habits.
Getting organised.
Starting something you've been putting off.

And that's lovely...

But what if you don't feel like starting again?

What if you're still tired from winter?

What if you're still figuring things out?

That's okay too. 🤍

You don't have to suddenly become a new version of yourself because the season has changed.

Sometimes we're already doing enough.

Sometimes we just need to keep going, one day at a time.

And sometimes change happens quietly, without us even noticing it at first.

So if Spring finds you feeling ready for something new, embrace it.

And if it finds you needing a little more time, that's okay too.

There is no right way to move into a new season.

Just be kind to yourself and allow things to unfold in their own time.

🌸 **So... apparently we're in Spring now!** 🌸

The days are getting longer, the flowers are starting to appear and everything is waking up again.

Lovely.

Except... I'm still waiting for my own internal “Spring update” to install. 😂

You know the one...

More energy.
More motivation.
More enthusiasm.
Possibly even an organised version of myself.

I'll let you know when she arrives. 😉

But maybe change doesn't always happen as quickly as we'd like.

Sometimes it's a tiny shift.

A little more energy.

A different thought.

Finally deciding to do something you've been putting off.

Or simply waking up one morning and realising you don't feel quite the same about something anymore.

So here's to Spring, new beginnings and gentle changes...

And if anyone finds the “new improved me” download, please send it my way. 😂

Happy Spring! 🌸

Spring Is Here! - Here's the first quarterly newsletter - From the Sanctuary. I'm definitely still learning about all the things! This is designed to reflect on the upcoming seasons. Enjoy!

After the stillness of winter, we begin to notice the little signs of life returning. The days become lighter. The earth begins to awaken. New growth appears quietly, often before we even realise it is happening.

**Hello Spring**

Today is the last day of winter here, and tomorrow we welcome Spring!

I always love this time of year.

The days are getting longer, the mornings are a little lighter and slowly, the world around us starts to wake up again.

The first signs of new growth are appearing and there is a feeling that things are beginning to shift.

It makes me think about our own lives too.

Sometimes we need a quieter season. A time to rest, reflect and simply be.

And then, when we're ready, we start to move forward again.

So as Spring arrives, perhaps take a moment to think about what you'd like this new season to bring.

It might be something you're ready to begin.

Something you're ready to change.

Or perhaps simply more time for yourself.

Whatever it is, I hope Spring brings you a little more light, a little more warmth and plenty of moments to stop and enjoy the beauty around you. 🌸

Happy Spring. 🤍

🌕 **The Full Moon – Friday 28 August** 🌕

There is something about a Full Moon that always seems to invite us to pause for a moment.

This Full Moon is also accompanied by a lunar eclipse, adding another little reminder that things are always changing and shifting around us.

For me, Full Moon energy is a lovely time to take a breath and think about what we might be ready to let go of.

It doesn't have to be something big.

Maybe it's an old thought that keeps coming back.

Something you've been carrying for longer than you need to.

Or perhaps simply making a little more room for peace, trust and something new.

You don't have to have it all figured out.

Sometimes just recognising what no longer feels right is enough.

So as the Full Moon arrives, take a little time for yourself.

Step outside if you can.

Look up at the Moon.

Take a few slow breaths.

And ask yourself...

**What am I ready to release?**

Then let yourself simply be with whatever comes up. 🤍

Sometimes we carry things without even realising how heavy they have become.

A thought that keeps going around in our head.

Something that happened a long time ago.

Worry about what might happen next.

Expectations we have placed on ourselves.

And sometimes, we simply get so used to carrying these things that we forget we don't have to.

Perhaps today, take a quiet moment and ask yourself...

**What am I carrying that I don't need to carry anymore?**

You don't have to fix it.

You don't have to have all the answers.

Just notice.

Sometimes awareness is the first little step towards letting go.

**A Shift in Energy…**

Have you noticed a little something feeling different lately?

As we move towards the Full Moon, there can be a sense of things coming to the surface — emotions, thoughts, old patterns or simply a feeling that something is shifting within us.

Sometimes we feel more sensitive.
Sometimes we feel restless or unsettled.
And sometimes there is a quiet knowing that we are ready to let something go and make space for something new.

Rather than resisting the shift, perhaps we can gently lean into it.

Take some time to slow down.
Breathe deeply.
Spend a little time in nature.
Listen to what your heart is trying to tell you.

Ask yourself:

What am I ready to release?
What no longer feels aligned for me?
What would I love to invite into my life?
Where am I being called to grow?

The Full Moon can be a beautiful reminder that change is part of our journey.

We are constantly shedding, growing, learning and becoming.

So if things feel a little different right now, perhaps you don't need to have all the answers.

Simply pause.

Breathe.

Trust the process.

And allow whatever is ready to shift… to shift. 🌕💗
