Easy and quick baking with few ingredients I love cakes. I am not the best baker. You’ll never see me on Bake Off although I love watching the show and wish I could eat their creations. There is something magickal about how a bit of flour, sugar and butter can become something very tasty and […]
Information overload and Pratyahara It’s easy to get overwhelmed by information overload. We are on our phones constantly getting news updates, social media posts and messages. We watch the news, listen to the news on the radio. We absorb and digest all this information. All these sensory inputs. People are studying the effect on social […]
Wanting to run away from it all? Me too We may not be able to change our external environment. We can’t suddenly change a pandemic, a lockdown, how the government works or any other challenge in our life. We may sometimes feel completely helpless and just want to run away. Or hideaway.

☀️ GRATITUDE ☀️ Gratitude for the beach today. For the blue sky, the stunning sunset, the murmuration of the bird (which is a challenge to capture on the phone, but I tried), for fresh air and the horizon. Gratitude for starting to teach online yoga again. As much as the festive break for needed […]
