Messy By Nature

10/09/2026

I have been asking for signs.

On just a normal Thursday, I saw on our local pages that a whale and her calf visited our local bays.

I walk the beaches every day. How did I miss the news? Then after work, my lovely friends messaged me that the whale was visiting our Little Bay , so I threw down my paint brushes, put on the ugliest, warmest jacket, and my daughter and I stood for 30 mins.

Every spray or movement I was hoping for, then she appeared, and there was no mistake. I was seeing a whale and her calf. It was truly thrilling and, of course, core memory building.

She was the sign, the magic I needed.
That I have chosen the right path and will
Never stop
Believing that this life is for
Living for nurturing and diving deeper than we ever thought possible.

My heart was so proud of this beautiful mama. Just her and her baby. Was she curious of us? I’m sure she felt me as
Much as I get her. I like to believe we had a conversation, exchanged gratitude. I don’t know, but it really meant something to me, and I will forever pray she visits again .

Taking up room.

They need you to be all that energy whilst calling you for help , yet when you need something, you are too much.

Learning how powerful you truly are and honouring your emotions instead of trying to control them is the hack!

Your emotions and how you feel is the communication that extends past words; we communicate telepathically with each other and the world around us.

Yet it’s woo-woo and we are told not to trust it pretty much from birth.

Learning Reiki is how I finally started to trust what I felt, and it improved my life in more ways than I ever thought possible .

I was an empath perpetually hurt; my calling to help had no boundaries yet left me abandoned, exhausted, and if I’m honest, resentful.

Learning Reiki, I can help
others with our emptying my own tank; I can advocate from the armchair and not be riddled with guilt or feel the need to sacrifice my own needs.

If this relates, I have a few remaining spots left for Reiki one class on 10th or 11th Oct. Message me for more information.

Signs of healing ❤️

You begin to create a comfortable environment.

My ADHD went overboard and started decorating the entire house 😂, but for you it might be buying some flowers, a new crystal, a candle, or simply making your space feel more like you.

But I think there’s something deeper happening.

It’s when your higher self — that loving inner parent — starts saying:

“You deserve to invest in yourself.”

I’m not really one for buying gifts. If I see something and think someone might like it, of course I’ll get it. Not necessarily for a birthday or special occasion — just because I thought of them.

And I think we can learn to do that for ourselves too.

After all the time you’ve spent processing sadness, betrayal, abandonment and everything that came with it, there comes a moment when something shifts.

The heaviness starts to pass.

And I promise you — it will.

You start looking around your home and thinking:

“What would make me feel good here?”

Maybe it’s flowers.
Maybe it’s paint.
Maybe it’s a new crystal.
Maybe it’s creating a little corner that belongs completely to you.

Whatever it is, let yourself have it.

Because healing isn’t just about letting go of what hurt you.

Sometimes it’s about finally creating a life that feels safe, beautiful and yours. ❤️

So I ask you this, when the sadness passes…

What will change in your environment first?

The Resource Within ✨

How many times have you looked back at difficult times and thought, “I don’t know how I got through that!”

We have so much more emotional, physical and spiritual strength within us than we realise.

No matter what you believe or what you align with, I think it all comes together in the moments when we find ourselves talking to someone, some God, our ancestors, the universe — whoever or whatever it is — asking for help.

Reiki translates to life force energy.

It isn’t a religion or a belief system. I like to think of it as my Wi-Fi connection to a higher power. I don’t really need to call it anything else. I just trust that it’s there, because it always seems to be there when I need it.

I didn’t set out to become a Reiki practitioner or teacher. Reiki simply led me here.

I helped myself first.

Through Reiki, I learned to access my own spiritual information and guidance, and that helped me make changes in my life. I gave up alcohol. I walked away from unhealthy friendships. I started listening to myself and trusting what I already knew deep down.

And the beautiful part is, you don’t need to become a practitioner or teacher.

You can learn Reiki and keep it completely for yourself. You can use it as a tool for your own healing, grounding and connection — and that can have a beautiful ripple effect on the people you love too. 🤍

✨ My next Reiki Level 1 class has 3 spaces left.

Saturday 10th & Sunday 11th October

Lunch provided on Sunday

Finally, I am okay. 🤍

I cried the last time, and with it came a huge breath of relief. The stagnant energy that seemed to consume me finally stopped.

I spent the day lost in my own creative thoughts, not in survival mode.

The next day, I’m buying paint. I’m falling in love with my home again. As I decorate, it talks to me — new ideas falling on top of each other, filling my heart with excitement.

I’m laughing at memes.
I’m teaching the dogs a new trick.
I’m planning something nice for dinner.

And then I realised…

It’s gone.

I’m not abandoned anymore.

I walked out. I chose this.

And I’m going to protect this feeling forever.

I will never let anyone steal my peace again. 🕊️
Keep going it just clicks one day and you are ok x

This is a personal post not all are but I’m over feeling I need to protect people that never even considered me family or not
I’m back ❤️

🐢 Why the tortoise?

My next animal is representing… and I simply cannot get away from the tortoise!

For six months now I’ve been joining groups, learning about them, dreaming about them, and thinking… could we add a tortoise to the clan? 🐢

Then I popped into an op shop… and there was a crystal tortoise!

Okay Spirit… you have my attention. ✨

I meditated on the why while holding my new little tortoise treasure, and something came back to me.

When I first started playcentre, they had a tortoise. I think his name was Harry. 🐢

I was fascinated by him. I loved watching him, and I would always hope I’d be picked to feed him. Somehow, those little memories stayed with me all these years.

And I believe this is why the tortoise is representing itself to me again.

Because animals often arrive as teachers and messengers in our lives.

The tortoise reminds us of resilience.

Of moving slowly and trusting our own pace.

Of carrying our own security within us.

Of wisdom that comes from living long enough to witness many seasons and many changes.

The tortoise protects its home and knows the importance of its territory, its safety and its peace.

And when I think about finding a home for a tortoise, I realise how much intention goes into it… enough sun, enough vegetation, the right environment and, most importantly, peace.

Maybe that is part of the message too.

We don’t always need to rush towards the next thing.

Sometimes we need to create the right environment, feel safe within ourselves, and allow life to unfold at its own pace.

Thank you, tortoise, for finding your way back to me. 🐢🤎

And yes… I have officially signed up to rescue a real tortoise! 😂🐢

We must listen to our guides.

Sometimes they whisper.

Sometimes they appear in crystal form from an op shop

When a cycle ends… ✨

Everything can suddenly feel new.

You notice the things that have always been there a tree you’ve walked past every day but somehow never really seen. New faces that look strangely familiar. A sudden craving to try a food you’ve never had before.

It’s as though you’re looking through new eyes.

You’re being pulled into a new timeline, a new chapter, a new version of yourself. And now, more than ever, it’s important to trust the new.

Lean into it. Feel the excitement. Follow the curiosity. Let yourself be pulled towards adventure.

You don’t need to know exactly where you’re going.
Just trust that you’re no longer where you were. 🌿✨

Happy Monday, everyone.

An autism diagnosis can be bittersweet.

Yes, you were different.
And yes, people often noticed.

I was obsessed with dogs. I could name every breed before I could even tie my own shoelaces.

My emotions were overwhelming—not just because of big life events, but because my clothes felt uncomfortable, sounds were too much, or my mind wouldn’t quieten.

I was never neat or tidy because everything felt uncomfortable. I tried desperately to manage my thoughts. I’d pick at my hair, peel wallpaper, or, if I had a pen, I’d draw. No paper? I’d draw on my arms and legs instead.

But through all of it, I was never mean.

If you have an autistic child, or you’re navigating your own diagnosis, I hope you know this:

You are not “too much.”
You are not broken.
You belong.

Especially with me. 🥰
