Its the Summer Holidays but tan aside Ihav to say I have not really had a chance to notice
My poor children are left a little to their own devices - although with a large garden, a pool, a trampoline and enough DVDs to start a shop I have to say they haven't noticed!

It is height of seaso in our gites, the garden is looking splendid, its hot and yes I am practicing daily as well as running, swimming and cycling so not just working but boy am I working too!

So many things happening at the moment I could soooooo do with assistance. Christian is ably helping in the gites of course but I need someone to take hold of ly life and go charlotte its ok I will do this for you.... will you? really? I cry tears in my eyes....

then I wake up :))))))

Anyway
daily I kiss my increasingly tanned and in my eyes beautiful children and marvel at what I have created
daily I thank God for the special gifts and challenges he has given me
daily I sent out love....

after all its all we can do

Its the year of the horse…..

2014 and galloping It has been a while since I penned a yogic mummy text but I have not been static. Life has moved into a pace I can only call frantic and the days are getting longer and nights shorter – ie I am eating into the night time hours to catch up on things I just have not been able to cram into the spaces of time I have. Life has changed rather radically as I moved out familiar surroundings and into a new home, as I started to share my children’s time with my husband and we both got used to being apart after 14 years together, as the Winter season has kicked in a pace with new students, rooms, time schedules and as all sorts of new projects get under way…… But despite all the change, late nights, tiring days there a few amazing and beautiful things that are surfacing and that make me realise a) I have made totally the right decision to act on the deepest truths within me and b) that I am extremely lucky to have the life I have. My relationship with my ex is

This is the story of a Girl

THIS IS THE STORY OF AN ORDINARY GIRL MY BODY, MY BATTLE HAVE YOU HAVE HAD THE FEELING THAT YOU WERE NOT IN THE RIGHT BODY? TO NOT BE STANDING IN YOUR FULL NATURAL ESSENCE? Have you ever had the feeling or have the feeling that you are burying, hiding who you are? Let me explain ….. As a young girl I was always   a bit “too big” in all senses of the word – too tall, too large, too much. I always felt a bit different, I spoke loudly, I was always loud, always “too much”. I never felt like I looked like or acted like the other “little girls”.   I went o my ballet class just like the other girls and just like them dreamt of being a ballet dancer on the big stage, graceful and full of light elegance. In my head I was that beautiful ballet dancer, the reality was very different. Ballet dancer in the skin of a “big fat cow”! As a young girl I read a book called “Clumsy Clara”…. An extremely clumsy young girl. One day she finds fairies in her garden

The Circle Continues It has been a while since I posted here. It has been an intense couple of years and as I reach the end of 2018 I feel I have emptied myself out completely and phoenix-like from the ashes I rise again.  Where do I even start?  As a mother….I feel I have definitely had a feeling of failing my children at times. Juggling too many things at once, juggling emotionally challenging issues with them, my partner, myself, trying to grow as a woman, mother, partner, person…. Everything mixed up into one. You never really feel you are doing enough. And yet you so are! The Children are growing up fast! My 15 year old Mélodie is off at boarding school and fast becoming a beautiful young lady…. Each mother I think goes through this passage of time - the letting go, allowing just enough freedom. Every time one of these moments comes I feel like Meryl Streep in Mama Mia saying goodbye “school bag in hand she goes off in the early morning&quo
