That pic up there, that's me right now. Every day is a roller coaster of learning, of thinking I totally get something, of realising there are a gazillion more things to learn. But I'm loving it. Change is a living, breathing, shifting thing. And the impact

Emotional, tipsy goodbyes. A long, rainy, podcast-filled drive to Kerry. A cosy afternoon tea as dusk closes in and a fire crackles. Big picture chats over dinner, filled with angsty concerns (me) and reassuring murmurs (him). Falling asleep to the sound of the falls. Fluffy robes and breakfast with a

A few snaps from last Saturday's Urban Wellness Retreat at The Marker with the inspiring Liz Costigan from Positive Fitness. The day started with clean treats and green juices at the rooftop bar, followed by a lovely talk from Liz about health and wellness; she goes beyond just

A friend recently gifted Ben a copy of Belle and Sebastian's The Life Pursuit on vinyl. With it, he included this lovely hand-written note, featuring a line from the song Another Sunny Day: For those Sunday evenings when the bells ring out in the dusk. Isn't

— Thich Nhat Hanh I'll never forget our first big holiday, road-tripping around California. I couldn't believe that someone wanted to stop and take as many pictures as I did, or was as giddy about finding another incredible taco joint as I was. As we roamed the
