Freedom is within us, it can be nowhere else. Looking for it outside is a fruitless and disappointing search. In the end, freedom is a process of letting go. It really is as simple as that… To write down, anyway! It clearly isn’t that simple to experience, or we would all be living from our…

I am sitting in the middle of Riad Saba, with the gentle sound of flowing water from the fountain in front of me, the stone floor cool under my bare feet. Riad means garden and these beautiful buildings are built with trees and plants in a central courtyard and feature a fountain or swimming pool… The windows only…

Day four of my new life and I have got worse at Spanish… I am writing this with a laughing tone, but it is still what it feels like….! With more time to learn the language, I find the box I have opened has no bottom… It is therefore fortunate to have discovered over the…

Today I woke to a new life, the day stretching ahead, endless days stretching ahead… As I write these words, I am reminded of the Kirsty MacColl song ‘Thank you for the days’ I love that song… Thank you for the days Those endless days, those sacred days you gave me I’m thinking of the…

Today I walked on the beach, feeling the lovely wet sand under my slightly sore feet… I left Anadi stretching on the shore, and walked further along the expansive terrain… After watching the surfers warming up and paddling a bit, I joined him to chant ‘Nam Myoho Renge Kyo’ 108 times in the shelter of…

I am sitting on the roof top of our apartment, it’s a sunshiny blowy day, the blustery games of the wind make it feel cooler than it is… Famara beach is just across the road from me and I can hear the music of the waves in a rhythm of still movement – the tide is…

Soon I am to head off on the next leg of my journey… In May I am going a vlogging jogging snogging ( mainly with Anadi ! ) and blogging… Not necessarily in that order, around the globe… I am already doing this of course, but from May I will have more time to dedicate…

The sun is setting in glorious fashion, streaky pink purple orange, on another beautiful Spanish sunny mountain day. Anadi and I sat outside in the village of Bubion drinking café con leche earlier today, enjoying as always the still silent sound of mountain life. It is evident that most of the young people run helter…

Since returning from Lanzarote, after my magical week with my sister Rosy, I have not found a blogging moment… My days have been spent engaged with Kathy and Haze on their retreats here in Spain, and my other clients on Skype too… But today my day is stretching ahead with no sessions until 5 pm….

We are currently half way between Lanzarote and Gatwick, five miles high. When we arrive Rosy will head back to Dorset, and I will stay one night at Gatwick, before flying to the peninsula of Spain tomorrow morning. Rosy and I have had a wonderful week together, each evening we made a plan for the…

Yesterday morning I woke and ran through a rainy grey day to the beach. My last day in Eastbourne and I had a yen to run barefoot on the beach… I arrived here the Saturday before last and began to write then… This is a record at the beginning and end of a wonderful week…
