Well we’re truly in the middle of Winter over here in Australia, and I couldn’t be happier.  I’m loving having my scraves and gloves out on these frosty mornings and then curling up on the couch with my blanket of an evening.   The Kapha inside of me sings loud and proud during this time of the year. 

So today I’m sharing with you my June wrap up as well as what my intentions and plans for July will be. Interested to find out?

Today I’m sharing with you my May wrap up, what my intentions and plans for June will be, as well as my overall thoughts on the whole “monthly focus” plan that I implemented at the beginning of the year. A half year wrap up, if you will.

Today is a wrap up of April and setting my intentions for May.

Want to know what I’m up to . . .

I’m saying au revoir to March over here and starting to focus my energies into April.

Unsure what I’m talking about?  Well, on New Year’s Eve I decided to NOT set myself any goals/intentions for the year ahead, as they’re usually forgotten just as quickly as they were made, and instead set some intentions for me to focus on each month through the use of tarot and angel cards . . . and I’m loving it.  I find that by focussing on just one month at a time, I’m staying present and mindful for the entire month.  It’s so much more sustainable and I feel like I’m actually being productive and effective.  Interested in seeing my earlier month’s intentions/focus, then just click here (January – February – March).

For me, March was a bit of a tough month as I just recently placed my mum into a nursing home.  As you can imagine, there were highs, many lows and a lot of stress.  Luckily, she seems to be really enjoying the change and in hindsight, I wish I’d done it earlier, but then that’s the beauty of hindsight, isn’t it.  Interestingly, my March Focus was all about nurturing myself.  A time to enjoy the little things - quality over quantity, and a time for looking after and pampering myself, relaxing into it and not fighting it.  

So now it’s over to April, and what’s in store . . .

I can't believe that the time has come to pack away my goals and focus for February and to dive into March.

Feb was an interesting month for me as it was more about looking inwards than dealing with the practical.  I have no issue looking inwards, but it's definitely a lot harder to tick a box or reach any tangible goals.  In the end, I just have to go with my gut and with how I was feeling - trusting the process.

So what's my plan for March, I hear you ask?

So you may remember that at the beginning of the year, instead of setting myself New Year Resolutions that I was bound to forget, fail at or simply ignore, I instead set myself monthly intentions.

Each month is different.

January was about setting my practical foundations for the year.

So what's my plan for February?

The countdown has well and truly begun my friends, and if you’re anything like me, your living in an utter state of bliss surrounded by twinkling fairy lights, the smell of Christmas trees and general festive merriment.

So how can you stay grounded, balanced and centred during this time of year when you want or need to do everything and be everything for everyone?
