October was lupus awareness month, I didn’t write about it, in fact I wanted to ignore it. However, ignoring it is what brought me to my knees in my mid-twenties. Today I found out about a number of young people, younger than me, who died due to their lupus this year and I felt [...]

Investigating the deeper side of emotional eating can be like a spiritual unfolding, I have said that many times in these blog posts, you can find a porthole to your depths, to your soul.

The times that I have stepped out of my comfort zone and followed the strong heart feeling to do something, or say something, even when I have been really nervous, are the times when big shifts have happened in my life. For example when I was 23 I went into the city of London [...]

As you will know from my previous blog posts I rarely mention food, or types of food, when I talk about emotional eating, or comfort eating. I see issues with food as a gateway into the soul, when we are eating when we are not hungry, or eating food that doesn’t make us feel good [...]

Chocolate. Dark, milk, raw, organic. Chocolate. Yum. Raw, dark chocolate is something I really enjoy and savour. However there was a time that dark chocolate felt like my best friend.
