My Photo
Name:
Location: Katoomba, NSW, Australia

here I am in a little cottage that evokes the energies of my ancestral lands - a cottage on the moors of Cornwall, or on the cliff tops of Ireland or Scotland. It has a hearth. I am a hedge witch {of sorts}. I wear upcycled clothes, patchouli oil and Redback boots. I am a gypsy; an eccentric and a mystic [I often live with a foot in two worlds]. I serve my guests, tea from an old silver teapot. I love Vervain, yarrow, chamomile & mint. Star watcher and Moon gazer. story cloth weaver. keeper of family dreams and wishes. good friend and creator of life. herbal tea drinker and potion maker.

Plan ahead and dream of all the beautiful things that life has to offer

*life*


why is it that so many of us feel guilty about 'stuff' and worry constantly about things ? well - my theory is this: on the day we are born and the Dr grabs us by the legs and lifts us up and pronounces 'it's a girl' - the nurses run for the stamp that says GUILT and they stamp that word so hard into our forehead, that it is there forever and it rears its ugly head each and every day of our lives. Take time out each of you and just BE xoxo
Nicole's gift to you

Anger, frustration, confusion, denial, and desperation are all actually part of
the process of parenting. Parents who tell you that they never have these
feelings are not coming clean. Parenting will test everything you’ve got, and in
solving problems and helping your child through new experiences (wonderful and
painful), you will know a kind of joy that simply can’t be found any other way.
Parenting will be the ultimate life-experience gift you give to yourself. It is
better than graduating high school or finishing a two-year quilting project,
better than bungee jumping, and better than being promoted at work. But, to get
there, you’ve got to turn your energies toward enjoying the experience of being
a parent. You’ve got to empower yourself by recognizing that you’re going to
experience those negative feelings, and ditching the guilt associated with them.
Once this happens, you can give yourself permission to feel good about what you
are doing as a parent. And your kids will feel good about having you as their
parent!

That was wonderful, I try to be "ME" and just "BE" every day. My five children re-inforce this daily as I have tried to let them be who they are.

It is something that does try to rear it's ugly head, and I tackle within me everyday...I will not let it beat me down though!
this post is a great reminder to us all, that it's so common, but we shouldn't let it consume us. THANKS!!
