Quotes I loved:
“Let the waves carry you where the light cannot.”
Mohit Kaushik
“Tears are words that need to be written.”
Paolo Coelho
Spring is in the air, Sept 2024, Seaford.
Journaling questions I am pondering:
We are story makers. Story is the vehicle we use to make sense of ourselves, our relationships and the world around us.
Is there a story that is intimately tied to your identity?
What are the origins of this story?
Has this story changed over time and how does it still hold true today?
Has your water practice impacted how you feel about, see or tell this story?
If you could, how would you re write this story?
This week’s blog post: Humanity is not my story, it is OURS.
What is new at Half Mermaid:
Latest Podcast
Episode 7 of the Half Mermaid Podcast will be released next week. I sit down with Lou Derricks, a truly gorgeous human, whose story is one of ebbs and flows, of courage, determination and growth. I loved our conversation which touched so many aspects of life…..on doing uncomfortable things, mindfulness, finding child like glee, finding our intuition, trying new things, on what is enough, being in your body and kindness for ones self.
I cant wait to share with you.
