Feels like months already but actually it was just three weeks ago that I started the new calendar year in silent meditation for three days.

What a week, what a month, what a year, already.

It’s that weird time of year where it feels like we're in a sort of void of timelessness, we're not sure what day it is, routine is out the window, still eating leftovers...the year has pretty much ended but the new one hasn’t begun yet.

I love this time of year as there’s a real invitation to be with yourself more – with your family, your joy, your pleasure, your accomplishments, your desires, your intentions.

I’m celebrating my birthday today surrounded by fragrant eucalyptus trees, bird song, bouncing wallabies (we’ve seen five this morning!), a very fresh breeze, and clear blue skies.

For many of us there’s a prevailing little feeling buzzing in the background of life...wanting to be in control.
