Goodbye New Year resolutions and hello Intentions! I have been known to consistently break my New Year’s resolutions, they always sound so final and at times set in stone, the word ‘resolution’ isn’t something we should use with goal setting if we intend goals to be a work in progress. With the final countdown to the end of the year upon us, we all start to think about the year that was, 2018, what we achieved; whether we met those short term or long term goals; what we wish we could change and how the year treated us. These memories…

Ashourina’s love for writing started from a young age, always being one to doodle words on school books and paying most of her attention to her English teachers. She has a background in law and dispute resolution but spends her nights writing when she has spare time, in between playing Mum to 4 kids. What inspires her to write is the desire to send out hope and love into the world. She finds inspiration to be one of the main things we need in our daily lives, and of course, coffee too. Ash spent her whole life in Australia and made the leap 4 years ago to the U.S!
Sitting in the Gynecologist’s office is never a pleasant experience. It doesn’t matter how many times in the number of years you have been in the exact same place, you never truly get comfortable with any part of the gynecological exam. For those of us who are mothers let us not forget the numerous visits to the Obstetrician’s office, while carrying another human or two or three inside of us, waiting to be examined- oh the pleasantry of it all! But as much as we want to complain and put off these important appointments, it is definitely something we must all…
In between trying to juggle work, finances, family, friends, chores, a social life, your social media account(s), we often neglect to find time for ourselves. In this modern day, busy age, we seem to be constantly running around chasing our tails, trying to make ends meet. In a society where self-love and self-care is the new age rage, we should be finding more time to stop and focus on us. Below are 3 ways to help you pause from the daily grind and take some time for self-care to really treat your soul the way it deserves. Find your sanctuary…
I gave birth to identical twin boys six months ago, baby number 3 and 4 for me. My body changed in ways I never thought possible. My belly expanded to a point where it ended up carrying two babies weighing a total of almost 12 pounds! That number again 12 pounds! How amazing is the female body that it can house not one but two tiny little humans. It nurtures them, allows them to develop and grow, until they are ready to come into this world. Here I am six months later punishing myself for not having the ‘perfect’ body,…
You are YOU! Don’t apologize for it, don’t hide it, don’t compare yourself to others, don’t wish for that fake social media life. What sets us apart from everyone else is our unique characteristics. No two people are the same, not even twins (speaking from experience here since I am a mother of twins). We are created to stand out, make our mark and live freely. We are not created the same because we all serve a different purpose in this life. Lose the bad attitude, shut the door on negative thoughts and welcome inspiration! I hope this post inspires…
