Australia Day 2018 found me at the Nimbin Bush Theatre for the Indigenous Survival Day Festival.  It was a day of listening, connection, reflection and inspiration.  Music, stories and friends gave the day significance and provided me with much to ponder. I was also randomly gifted some Bunya nuts.

Ironically, during mental health week I found myself in crisis.  I had neglected my self-care regime at a time I needed it most and my nervous system was critically in need of support.  I had reasons that I expect will resonate with you – usual story, when the project is delivered I’ll have time for that – well, my body and mind had other ideas and forced me to take notice!  I found myself totally overwhelmed, shaking, crying and barely capable of taking a full breath (yes, at work – what fun that was! A practice in complete vulnerability.)
