April has felt a little heavy at times. Heartache is contagious it seems. Two of my friends have had romances end, and, as I often feel a little hopeless in love, it’s familiar ground, so I am right there with them.

Here are some things I have been throwing myself into in April that have been really helping.

Port Fairy Folk Festival – It’s such a fun weekend of just being at the beach and laying on the ground listening to music (or dancing).

This incense from Lab Organics. I have been looking into scent and its role in supporting our parasympathetic nervous system (the part of the nervous system responsible for promoting relaxation, digestion, and overall balance in the body).

January is such a special month in Melbourne. Even in the last few years, when still not feeling 100%, I have usually felt happier and more hopeful at this time. It's the main holiday I take every year. I love the sun and the ocean. Summer in general is a healing time where nature can really be the focus.

It feels exciting to be sitting down to write my first post. After 10 years living with chronic fatigue, I finally feel as though I have my body and brain back. I still have a way to go, but I am feeling inspired so let’s embrace it!
