In the rush of client deadlines, day to day tasks, and the endless to-do lists that life throws our way, it’s easy to forget the importance of creating something purely for ourselves. With Balance Awareness Week 14 -20 of September, I wanted to share my experience in a video format. Ten years since I was diagnosed with Ménière’s Disease and chronic migraines. Every year I try to share something to raise awareness about Ménière’s, in the hope that one day I, and others, might better understand this condition. This year, I decided to turn my thoughts into a script and film it. I don’t consider myself a writer, but these words had been circling in my mind ever since a conversation with a close friend who also lives with vertigo. A decade later, I still live with both good and bad days. The hardest part for me isn’t the dizziness itself, but the way it chips away at my confidence. Even after all this time, I still don’t always know why it happens or when it will strike. If you haven't already, please watch my video Ménière’s and Me on my Instagram page. www.instagram.com/reel/DOqnReYjPRG/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

September has a way of arriving quietly, almost unnoticed, until you feel the shift in the air. The days are still bathed in sunshine, yet it’s a softer kind of light . Golden, mellow, lingering just a little shorter than before. Mornings greet us with cool air, and evenings carry that first hint of crispness, as though the season itself is gently preparing us for change. There’s something comforting about this in-between time. The world hasn’t let go of summer just yet, but autumn is waiting patiently at the edge. September invites us to slow down, to notice the warmth of the sun on our face, the way shadows grow longer, the way the year begins to turn. It’s a month of balance. Light and dark, warmth and coolness, holding on and letting go. A reminder that every season of life shifts in its own rhythm, and there’s beauty in both the sunshine we keep and the changes we embrace.    In a world buzzing with notifications, emails, and endless scrolling, I decided it was time to log off and where better to unplug than Bali? For three weeks, I put my phone on airplane mode, closed my laptop, and surrendered to the slower rhythms of island life. I allowed myself to checkin sporadically, as a freelancer you want to check you are not missing out on any important opportunities. My main concern was to stop the mindless doom-scrolling. It was time to appreciate dear friends, the ocean breezes, walks, mindful meals, and quiet moments with myself. If you’re feeling burned out or stuck on autopilot, a digital detox might be exactly what your mind and spirit need. Bali was the perfect backdrop for mine — healing, grounding, and alive with beauty. Bali is always a good idea.       As the chill of winter fades away and the world begins to blossom, there's something undeniably magical about springtime. It's a season of renewal, growth, and vibrant colours that breathe life into everything around us. For me, springtime always brings a fresh wave of creativity and inspiration. Whether it’s diving into new projects or revisiting old ones with fresh eyes, there’s something about the energy of the season that makes everything feel possible. This week I thought I would share a few iPhone pictures I have recently taken and then promptly forgotten to share.      |
