Who am I? This question is beginning to nag at me lately. I am Catherine Green. I am a mother, a wife, a daughter, a friend, and an author. This last one has been sorely neglected recently in my daily schedule. My life has become a chaotic cycle of breastfeeding, changing nappies, bathing and washing…

Becoming a mother has been a massive learning curve for me. I know that sounds cliché, but it is the absolute truth. It wasn’t so long ago that I used to commute to work full time and everything revolved around me and my then fiancé (now husband). We agreed that we wanted to have children,…

There is a great myth (?) – story from a phenomenal group-thingy (?) that I love. ZBS, has the most amazing and informative stories I have ever come across – not selling here.. pre-qualifying. In their audio-story, dreams of Bali ( I think:), one of the characters relates the story of a worm, and this…

This is a question that echoes in my mind almost every day. It has become something of a mantra I suppose, and I am not even conscious of it most of the time. When I was at school I was constantly told by the ‘grown-ups’ that I must choose a career and work towards achieving…

Here we are, manifested in this world, and we believe it to be the cause of our suffering, but really, it is what keeps us alive. We criticise, we judge, we harm creatures that keep us alive, we harm the atmosphere, pollution is all around us, we harm ourselves with our negative thoughts, we harm…

I was on a discussion thread via Linkedin. A great meeting-ground and resource, I am finding. While scrolling down through a list of holistic healing discussion topics, I came across one that was somewhat disturbing/ distressing. It had to do with humans as fear-based, that humans have evolved through fear. I think to say humans…

I took a brave decision this morning and decided to hang out my washing to dry outside in our garden. Stepping through the back door, I could feel moisture in the air. It didn’t look good for drying my clothes but suddenly that didn’t matter. I was transported back in time, to sweet memories of…

You might have a little understanding of where my mind is at the moment, as I am totally immersed in motherhood, and I find that it naturally connects with the traditional idea of being a housewife. This is where I begin to squirm. I do not like calling myself a housewife, and I always used…

As a medicine person, I am a firm believer in synchronicity. I remember once, someone noted to me: if the universe is trying to get your attention, and you don’t hear it, it will just turn up the volume. Reminds me of someone trying to drown out outside noise in some ways. But in this…

I would like to share a little advice about meditation when you have small children. This is something I am learning to deal with. I got into meditation several years ago when I properly embraced my spiritual path. I used to think that to meditate properly you had to sit on an upright chair in…

Again, I found myself in a discussion thread- they have become great resources for reflection and writing. The question posed was a little ambiguous, on the topic of Death. What we thought about Death. Strangely framed. But it made me think about the Question, so perhaps it was a very effective question. I was not…

Some inspiration for my fellow writers, and here’s to an exciting new week! For the Love of Writing I stare at the screen My mind is a whirl Words and characters a jumble inside All clamouring for my attention. Where do I begin? I must fill up the white space Get those…
