I’m back after another enlightening trip to Canada.

If you had told me three years ago that I would travel there three times in one year, I would have laughed. It felt impossible. Yet here I am, having fulfilled a dream I’d quietly written off—visiting Vancouver and the Rocky Mountains, a vision I first held at 21 years old.

As I said in my previous post, I have stood down from my role. One of the most unexpected gifts of this has been hearing people’s reflections.

Below is part of one of the most beautiful messages I have ever received:

Have you ever found yourself in a role that once lit you up—but now feels like it might be holding you back?

Recently, I’ve been working as First Aid and Welfare Lead at a home education festival. It's a role I took on when my boys transitioned out of school. Their dyslexia and other learning challenges made it hard for them to access the curriculum, and I found myself thrown into educating them out of desperation.

That moment changed everything.

So here I am in a new town, and it’s time to build a community. What does that look like for me?

I am finally in my new home.
It has been almost a year—a grand adventure. As I return to a more settled life, I find myself filled with reflection, excitement, and a touch of nostalgia for the past twelve months.

Earlier this week, I was sitting in my office when my son came in for a chat. He said I looked whole again.

I am in a very different environment a couple of months on from my last post. I am now a house/pet sitter currently in Bury St. Edmunds, a place I remember with nostalgia from my early 20s, when I lived nearby in Newmarket, working as an equine veterinary nurse.

An open window is how I refer to a thought or idea I haven’t actioned. Like a window that is open in the background on your phone, slowing it down, it seems to me that the human mind has limited bandwidth and that we can find ourselves with too many open windows, which slows down our capacity.

As I said before, I started this journey of learning to use my intuition many years ago, and now it is my life. I was looking for greater happiness, health, joy, learning, and contentment, to name a few. I have realised now there is no destination, only the next step.

I am in Barcelona for a month, and it is giving me space to reflect and start writing. I am surrounded by this beautiful city with amazing artwork that you stumble across as you wander the narrow streets.
