Co-creating a More Beautiful World
Have you ever asked the Universe for something, something perhaps a little outlandish and unlikely, and then somehow had this thing spontaneously appear in your life? I have. In fact, it happened to me just recently. Considering my previous blog posts about ‘the revolutionary power of synchronicity’, I think this short tale is worth telling. Road Trips It all started...
Having a great dream in a lot like mountain climbing. You have to descend before you can ascend. I can hardly believe that three years have passed since I committed myself to this dream of moving from the city to the countryside. If you had told me then that in three years time I would still be writing about the...
I want to tell you about a beautiful book I have just finished reading. It is not a visionary novel, nor a ground-breaking book of educational value. Nor is it a book of exciting short stories or high brow literature. In fact, whilst I was reading it, at times I even considered putting it down, feeling bored and impatient by...
I believe we all have hidden gifts and talents that we don’t even know we have. In this post I share how, by following my hearts calling, I first discovered I could write. Written in celebration of the three year anniversary of this blog, I hope that it can inspire others to discover their own hidden gifts and encourage them...
Celebrating three years of the Shared Earth Living Community! It has been three years since I started this blogging venture and began sharing my journey from the city to the countryside with the world. What better way to celebrate than with a post dedicated to the wise, inspiring, generous comments from you, my readers! Three Year Anniversary Since starting out...
In this post I share how I transformed a sad and disastrous Christmas away from home into a soul nourishing time full of ritual, depth, beauty and good mince pies 😉 For many people, the festive season is about presents and eating good food with your friends and family whilst listening to Slade and Maria Carey. We have fun talking...
As the year draws to a close and we move further into the festive season, abundance abounds from all directions. The supermarkets are stocked up with all the usual Christmas delights and the shops are full of glitz and glam. The adverts on our screen show images of happy families with mountains of presents. Our shelves are stocked with Christmas...
There is one missing ingredient of this journey from the city to the country so far: community. In this post I explore some of the contrasts that I have experienced as it relates to friendships and communal living over the last few years, and what this has shown my about my true desires about moving to the countryside. As we...
Life is full of surprises. And surprise me it did when, after being away in the UK for so long after the summer, my Argentinian in-laws arrived at my house to stay for an undefined period of time. Keen to really make progress towards my dream of leaving the city, this did not bode well with my plans! This post...
And how I am going to use it to fulfill my dream of leaving the city and starting an earth-centred life in the countryside. And why this is, in fact, a revolutionary act of political disobedience. Ever since I started this journey from the city to the country, I have maintained a faith in synchronicity and miracles. This dream is...
3 years have passed since I first started dreaming about moving from the city to the countryside. In that time, I have made a lot of progress in the direction of my dream. From my explorations of off-grid projects in empty Spain and my involvement in the community garden, to completing my first permaculture design certificate, quitting my 9-5 job...
Join me as I transition from the city to the country, following my hearts desire for a more sustainable life based on respect for the Earth and all the creatures in it. Let’s co-create a more beautiful world!
