The biggest surprise on the soulful journey to authenticity, whether as a philosophy or a spiritual path, is that the path is a spiral. We go up, but we go in circles. Eash time around, the view gets a little bit wider.

Being back in Wellington is wonderful!
There is something about this place that ‘remembers me to myself’ – the ode to Wellington I wrote really says it all. Anywhere else, and I feel like a part of me is being drawn here. Being here, I feel somehow deeply at home, no matter what else is going on.
A wonderful friend of mine put it perfectly in a message to me recently (I hope she doesn’t mind me borrowing!):
“Money and a sense of direction are sooo secondary to a sense of wholeness & belonging.”
Right now, I would rather be broke and directionless in Wellington than wildly successful anywhere else. That might sound crazy, but then I’ve never professed to be sane. For whatever reason, this is my place right now.
So far this week I have spent my days looking for jobs, reawakening to my creative spirit, wandering the streets of my favourite city, and indulging in the daily laughter and philosophy that comes with living with my Mum and sister.
Bliss!
Yes!
