Is your inner voice helpful?

August 29, 2019Linda AndersonBALANCE, DREAM BIGNo CommentsInspiration, intentions, overwhelm

We all have a voice in our heads. You know the one that chats along to you during the day, passing comments on what is happening around you, convincing you to do something (or not). If you pay attention to what this voice is saying, really pay attention, you might notice that what it is…

Change. It flows like a river.

August 9, 2018Linda AndersonDREAM BIGNo CommentsDreams, Inspiration

  Change. It flows like a river.   Sometimes it moves rapidly, rushing you towards your goal. It feels exciting, energising. Sometimes in meanders slowly, winding gently back and forth. At times you wonder if you are still traveling in the direction you are meant to be. Sometimes, like an eddy, you seem to come…

My island swim friends and I are catching a water taxi across to Auckland for the race.
I have been pretty quiet in the lead up to this swim because I wasnt sure I was going to be able to do it (grrr ... injury) but yesterday I decided I was still going to have a go, even if I just swim super slow and gentle.
You see, a beautiful soul I used to paddle with in Sydney was killed in an accident 2 weeks ago ... leaving behind young children and her wonderful husband. Tomorrow her funeral will be held in Sydney.
Tomorrow I choose to swim ... because I can. And I want to really feel gratitude for that fact and send love from the ocean across the ditch to all who will miss her. 💗🏊‍♀️💗
