Hi everyone — just dropping into your Sunday morning / Saturday night with a very quick selfie to show you my new green puffer jacket in case you want one. I’m so sad we’re heading into fall and winter in Australia, so if you want to grab this cheerful jacket, link is below and very affordable. They’re selling so fast, and also in white, hot pink and black. Perfect for dog-walking…and I’m still so sad I won’t be doing that this winter.
Now, onto the important stuff!
This week I invited a beautiful friend over for a ‘mini-retreat and planning lunch.’ She’s wise and gorgeous, and I needed to chat about moving from being a mum-of-teens to a mum of adult sons. (Her advice was brilliant: “Before you ask them something, consider whether you’d like it if they asked YOU the same question.” Honestly, I’d be irritated if I were peppered with questions all day…so there we go. I’m easing back!)
The second thing we did was talk through 20 Questions for Reflection I compiled from various resources online. One of the questions felt amazing:
Over to you! It’s the easiest way to bring more joy to your day.
What do you love to do that you don’t do enough of?
For us, the answers just jumped out. Ask yourself, and yours will, too.
Happy Sunday! Enjoy your weekend.
Love, Catherine x
P.S. The fun stuff!

Yoga: reporting back. Okay, I found yoga…hard. I tried three classes and I’d love to hear why you love it. I’m undecided. I did love relaxing at the end with candles and music! I also do love Yoga with Adriene online: free yoga class for COMPLETE beginners here.
Double fudge brownies made with a can of chickpeas (vegan). These could be useful for my vegan and vegetarian friends. Haven’t tried them yet…
If you’re worried about your iPhone “listening” to you — you can shut this off in settings.
For my sister, Dar, who loves winter ❄️: you can make ice luminaries! So beautiful.
