"Woman do not have to sacrifice personhood if they are mothers. They do not have to sacrifice motherhood in order to be persons. Liberation was meant to expand women's opportunities, not to limit them. The self-esteem that has been found in new pursuits can also be found in mothering." - Elaine Heffner Thank you to all the Mothers! Happy Mother's day! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58e99400893fc0148f8fef6d/1493076199812/04+Free+yourself.png Inspiration Heart moments I have been blessed to be taught by the best teachers in the world, the children. It is with gratitude I thank them for letting me dance with them, for as the Tao says: “The life of a child is in harmony. Everything is perceived in its most simple, natural way. Delight is the companion of discovery, and the sounds and sights of existence are the dance of life itself.” From the known I am stepping into a big unknown. And here too the child teaches me another most valuable lesson, for as the Tao says: “Let your heart be the trusting heart of a child. Let your heart resound with the joy of meeting the world for the first time. Let in unknowing, and enjoy the freedom it brings.” https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58e99412bf629ae3d5d8fd4e/1493076175108/05+Open+the+door.png Inspiration Heart moments After all that rain, wind, hail, thunder, cold and even a mini tornado, it's time for Sunday's Heart moment.

Our fast paced society has people wearing busyness as a badge of honour. Instead, focus more on time to be, to dream, to work things out and center the source of your patience on your believes, without expectations of gratification. Have faith and patience will come as a natural response. And with patience comes beauty and kindness. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58e994add482e94e7fe06cb2/1493076099763/10+Do+the+very+thing+that+makes+you+alive.jpg Inspiration Heart moments I am writing this Sunday Heart moment from the Red Woods on the West Coast in the US. I love road trips and I love wilderness, and it’s this combination that makes me come alive. It’s these alive moments that leave rich deposits into my heart bank. It’s what makes me a better person, a happier person. What better investment can I make than investing in myself? What are you doing today to invest in yourself? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58e994e4440243b385c7797d/1493076066994/12+Why+fit+in.jpg Inspiration Heart moments We are all marvels, human beings destined to love, to care and to create in an ever changing world. We worry about fitting in, but we aren’t happy with the status quo. Change is eminent and we are all born creators. So start creating, today. Get out of the box, pick up the pen and start writing your own story. We need you! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58e994d11b631be4d8798f49/1493076078821/11+You+cannot+change+your+destination.png Inspiration Heart moments The beauty of teaching from a heart place is admitting that we as teachers too are on a learning journey. As with every journey, there are side roads, intersections, detours, scenic roads, fast lanes and more. Any one of these may or may not lead to the same destination. Don’t like the scenery, there is always a turn off. What road are you taking? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58e995568419c2d9939fc4ae/1493076053721/13+When+you+catch+the+thought.jpg Inspiration Heart moments Everything once started as a thought and it is from this foundation creations and inventions evolve. Our emotions are the barometer of our thoughts. Be aware of the emotion then you can catch the thought. When you catch the thought, you have the choice to change the thought, and change your day. Good thoughts create good days! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58e99573cd0f68d5d51c3a79/1493076041851/14+Look+for+beauty.jpg Inspiration Heart moments As they say, ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’. You can’t argue about beauty, there is no right and there is no wrong. If you want to put more beauty into anything and everything you do start looking for spunk, spirit, character, kinkiness, personality, surprise, heart, lively, playfulness, desire, pain, in the most unexpected. It will not only show you beauty, it will give you a kick! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58e99594b3db2b2c30ac7dc0/1493076001841/16+Give+time+create+memories.jpg Inspiration Heart moments Today is a great day to spend time together and nurture the relationship you have with your child. You can go for a beach walk and make hot chocolates with marshmallows when you get back. You can sit in front of the fire place to share stories about your childhood. Or you can cuddle up in a sleeping bag and read, role modeling to your child it is okay to chill out with a book. There are many new amazing ‘board’ games out there that are not ‘boring’. Time is the one thing in life we can only give once. It’s the best gift you can give your child. Giving the gift of time is the only time your child will remember. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58e995ae46c3c45cf05f5708/1493075988652/17+You+should+sit+in+nature.jpg Inspiration Heart moments Most of you will have had an interesting week waking up to the Earth covered in a layer of frost or in some areas of the country, a blanket of snow. Even the beach on the Kapiti Coast had a layer of frost, which is very unusual. During one of these days I went on my daily wandering at sunrise, as I really wanted to experience the frost on the sand and the light of the rising sun over the sand dunes. To my surprise I did find something else as well... An obvious invitation to stop thinking ahead of all the things on my to do list and take a moment to REALLY enjoy the scene that Nature was putting on that morning. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58e9961459cc687c74a1044c/1493075974355/18+What+window.jpg Inspiration Heart moments Life is full of possibilities, opportunities, it is up to you to choose which ones you use and which ones you don't. Look at them like windows, every window gives a different view. Every opportunity gives a different outcome. You choose which window you look out through, but sometimes you have to look through a foggy window to see how clear the other window actually is. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58e99584579fb3bebad1a3ba/1493076029512/15+Let+go%2C+when+it+is+time.png Inspiration Heart moments Every child needs someone who, no matter what, champions for them, defends them, loves them, hugs them, talks to them, is there for them. Every teacher needs that too. Be patient, trust nature’s plan and let go. Just like the leaf on the autumn tree lets go when it is time, let go of your expectations and attachments and be a champion for the child and for yourself! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58e996461b631be4d879ee87/1493075957359/19+Ticket+to+Nature.jpg Inspiration Heart moments Treat yourself to the theatre of Nature. It is on the wide screen and has a new programme on every day. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58e9966920099ea6ebc7d1fd/1493075944347/20+The+biggest+anniversary+of+the+heart.jpg Inspiration Heart moments This is my first bike, the one I learned to ride on, and subsequently my children learned to ride on. My dad was always making up potions. He was the person to go to when we had stains or marks on our clothes or other things. So when I announced that I wanted to take my little bike with me to New Zealand he jumped into action, mixed some chemicals together and spend many evenings in the garage, cleaning and polishing my bike to make it worthy to travel to the other side of the world. On this father’s day, a shout out to my dad and to my little bike that traveled more than 18,000 km, carrying love and memories! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58e9969a579fb3bebad1e951/1493075926360/21+Today+is+a+good+day..jpg Inspiration Heart moments Give yourself full credit for who you are TODAY, in the moment. Forget about the past, don’t think ahead to the future. Relax in what you already have or already are. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58e996d937c581916168f4bc/1493075858916/23+Our+greatest+obstacle.jpg Inspiration Heart moments How much energy do you spend on things you don’t like. Avoidance, resistance, anger, disappointment, rejection, the list goes on. We are good at pushing away that which we don’t like. The biggest lessons are often in the biggest mistakes. Embrace the ‘bad’ stuff, and learn a lot. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58e996b9d1758e676a17406c/1493075909034/22+Work+with+instead+of+struggle+against.jpg Inspiration Heart moments So true but not always easy to maintain...Life changes constantly and things change just when we least expect it. Happiness is NOW and it is not hinged or connected to those things that..might be...could be...! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58e996f7d1758e676a175000/1493075819077/24+Unplug+and+plug+in.jpg Inspiration Heart moments As adults we tend to have lost awareness of what is happening in our own backyard or local park. We tend to close our heart, shut our minds and keep our hands on our gadgets. Today, unplug from your gadgets and plug in to Nature. Go and explore, see the patterns, feel the textures, smell the fragrances, hear the crickets, taste the berries. It will recharge YOU for the busy days ahead! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58e9971ee3df28b2c23d5284/1493075787646/26+Take+time+out.jpg Inspiration Heart moments A very merry Christmas to all of you and your loved one, the ones who are with you and the ones who are in your heart. While it is a busy time in the year, may you find space to take time to reflect and rethink. Decide what is worth carrying into the new year and drop the rest. Take some time out, find yourself a peaceful quiet spot, go within and find yourself. We are doing just that and unplugging for a few weeks. We wish you all a Happy New Year and will see you in 2017. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58e996fa8419c2d993a02cd9/1493075803100/25+Meet+your+best+friend.jpg Inspiration Heart moments Remember the joy and kindness in people in the days in the lead up to Christmas? You will not find love and happiness and peace under the tree if you have not got it in your heart. It’s nearly the night before Christmas. This Sunday sprinkle some fairy dust on yourself, go and make magic and meet your best friend, YOU! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58eb53ed725e2551822e36c0/1493075739740/28+The+present+moment+is+you.jpg Inspiration Heart moments Every day can start with new intentions. Today, on this beautiful Sunday, celebrate the present moment, celebrate you! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58eb53ec2e69cf277201dd41/1493075770566/27+A+good+intention+has+no+regret.jpg Inspiration Heart moments Are you that person who writes a goals list every year on the first day of the new year? You want to lose weight, run a 10k, read more books, finish that study. You look back and set resolutions to do better in the future. You think about your future self, and get lost in your dreams of desire. And by the time day 15 comes along, yes that is today, you feel overwhelmed, disappointed and a whole range of emotions about your lack of progress or ‘stickability’. Toss away the resolutions, bring in the intentions. Intentions are just that, intentions. No judgement, no expectation. No past, no future, just the present day! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58eb53f6cd0f68d5d5869d7a/1493075675723/30+Are+you+there+or+here%3F.jpg Inspiration Heart moments Slow down this Sunday. Have a heart moment, a sacred moment. One of those moments when you observe something that opens your heart and fills you with reverence. You will find these moments when you observe, rest and enjoy your ‘here’. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58eb53f62994ca304af64d47/1493075715997/29+Change+the+view.jpg Inspiration Heart moments Opportunities are determined by how you look at what happens around you. Take a fresh look. If you don’t like what you see, change your perspective. Life is full of opportunities, you may just have to change the way you view them. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58eb540c1b631be4d8e49828/1493076567324/31+What+would+love+choose%3F.jpg Inspiration Heart moments Shall I do this or that? Shall I go here or there? Shall I say yes or no? Decision making. We do it all the time, consciously and unconsciously. Often we engage the head to make the decision. What if today you consciously engage the heart? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58eb5425d1758e676a817ec3/1493076550706/32+What+are+you+feeding+on%3F.jpg Inspiration Heart moments The soul feeds on beauty! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58eb54441e5b6c098b8cdce2/1493076504010/34+Bloom+where+you+are+planted.jpg Inspiration Heart moments   The pursuit of happiness! Much has been said and written about finding happiness in life. As buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh said; “There is no way to happiness - happiness is the way.” Be content with what you have, rejoice where you are, be grateful with who you are. Your happiness is here and now! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58eb543215d5dbf58cf08acb/1493076529928/33+Nature+is+not+a+retreat.jpg Inspiration Heart moments   Nature is part of who and what we are. Nature is our own being and we should treat it with uttermost respect, just like we treat ourselves. Nature is not just a retreat to go to for a rest or for recreation. Nature is not a place to visit now and then. Nature is not a far away land. Nature is here, right where we are! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58eb544ff7e0ab8357ec0d69/1493076486637/35+Rest+your+head+voice.jpg Inspiration Heart moments Rest is sacred. It is there we can listen to the quiet voice inside of us. The soft whispering words that speak the voice of our heart. Lay the loud voice of your head to rest today and invite the quiet voice of your heard to sing! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58eb5461725e2551822e50b9/1493076467953/36+Come+to+your+senses.jpg Inspiration Heart moments   This Sunday we invite you to engage your senses. Listen, see, smell, taste, touch! Come to your senses, go outdoors. Take a walk on the beach, a stroll through the park or a hike in the bush. Even a walk through town will take you outside. Stop and smell, stop and look, stop and listen, stop and taste, and stop and touch. Sensorial experiences are of vital importance, not only for children, they are important for adults too. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58eb5499f5e231a18ad0e21a/1493076427848/38+Kindness+is+the+gift.jpg Inspiration Heart moments Communicate to your heart today. What does it need? A laugh with friends, a good book, some time away, silence, music, love? Give your heart the gift of you. The more you are kind to yourselves, the more you will become kind to others. “Make friends with yourself and you’ll make friends with the world” - Pema Chödrön. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58eb547ec534a5cb83cc3739/1493076444486/37+There+is+no+place+to+hide.jpg Inspiration Heart moments Feeling disheartened, desolate, deflated, discouraged, disillusioned? We all have 'di and de' feelings from time to time. After all, we are human. Acknowledge them, don’t hide from them. Taking care of your feelings is taking care of yourself. Give yourself a ‘re’ day. Re-fresh, re-energise, re-fuel, re-store, re-coup and you may feel re-alive again! “Go back and take care of yourself. Your body needs you, your feelings need you, your perceptions need you. Your suffering needs you to acknowledge it. Go home and be there for all these things." Thich Nhat Hanh https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58fe8a89e6f2e1cc6b841bff/1493076746163/40+Looking+for+inspiration%3F.jpg Inspiration Heart moments   Happy Easter! Today is a good day to be in awe! In awe of the colours of the autumn leaves on the trees, the twinkles of the stars in the sky, the brightness of the moon, the pristine of the water, the majesty of the mountains. Looking for inspiration? Be in awe of all the miracles around you. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58fe8a89579fb33b52497cce/1493076766130/39+Wake+up%2C+put+life+to+life.jpg Inspiration Heart moments   On this Sunday, don’t sleep in. Instead, wake up! Open your heart just a little bit further. Do something different. Take an interest and be curious. Have a sense of humour, pay attention. Notice and appreciate. Dance, sing, play. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58fe8aab9de4bb751e0a1906/1493076726287/41+Feel+what+you+feel.jpg Inspiration Heart moments   Allow situations in your life to become your teacher. Rather than resisting with the risk of keeping them alive, surrender and nurture. Have confidence in your own basic goodness, respect yourself. You have the power to meet every challenge as an opportunity to open your heart and soften. Make friends with your feelings. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/591d53a437c581ab8ec4db5f/1495094414983/42+Be+still+and+discover.jpg Inspiration Heart moments Stillness, appreciating the quiet moments to imagine, to question and to dream, to be alone with your own thoughts often connects us with our inner selves, something we often forget about. Today sit in silence and make new discoveries. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/591d53bf414fb55fb1c94e08/1495094329025/43+Feed+on+beauty.jpg Inspiration Heart moments Draw your energy from the beauty that surrounds you. As Liane said ’surrounded in beauty the soul grows’. Today, be surrounded in beauty. Pick some flowers for the kitchen bench. Take a walk in the bush, beach or park. Observe the birds in your back yard or park. Listen to music that makes your heart sing. Watch the stars twinkle at night. Notice the colours on the autumn leaves. Feed yourself some beauty today. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/59d1c2c4b1ffb670473e6e99/1506919840875/45+Is+your+family+homemade%3F.jpg Inspiration Heart moments Families are busy. School, work, sports, music... it’s easy to get distracted by all the things happening and forget about connecting with your loved ones closest to you. Take time to connect today. Gather around the table for lunch or your evening meal. Ask each other questions, listen to each other’s stories. The family dinner is endangered! This is where family values are created and modeled. Handmade! You can’t buy family values, happiness, joy, love. These treasures are all made at home. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/59d1c2c49f8dcefe14b67686/1506919899380/46+Only+in+silence+can+we+hear.jpg Inspiration Heart moments Today give yourself the gift of silence. In this overstimulated world taking a moment for a ‘time out’ can make all the difference for having a ‘good’ day or a ‘bad’ day. Find a quiet spot, a moment to create stillness. Only in silence can we hear the whisper of our inner voice. What is it saying today? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/59d1c2da59cc681f4ae199fd/1506919929036/48+Take+your+happiness+for+a+walk.jpg Inspiration Heart moments Enjoy this day a little bit more. Be happy. It’s here, right now, in this moment. The sun said ‘hello’. You got to open two gifts today, your eyes! Today is a good day. Take your happiness for a walk and let it shine. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/59d1c2d864b05fe62a6cab94/1506919916314/47+Take+kindness+on+a+date.jpg Inspiration Heart moments What goes around, comes around. What ever you do, everything has a result. You are the creator of your life. The choices you make, the thoughts you think, you are responsible for your actions, for your thoughts, for your speech. Act kindly, think kindly, and speak kindly. Smile to a person in the street, think “she is doing her best under the circumstances” when you are lined up at the supermarket counter, say “thank you” to the driver when you leave the bus. Take kindness on a date today. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/59d1c2e603596e6dea31734b/1506919981150/50+Think+positive+thoughts+today.jpg Inspiration Heart moments Thoughts create chemicals that create emotions. Emotions create actions, actions create results. Good or bad. What we do with them is what determines how we move forward. “You are today where your thoughts have brought you. You will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.” - James Allen. Changing your thinking will change your feelings, which will change your actions, which will change your life! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/59d1c2e5b7411c95f30aa17e/1506919946125/49+Slow+down.jpg Inspiration Heart moments Feeling rushed? Deflated? When we are always on the go, our mind going in turbo, we tend to miss opportunities. We act more reactive, less responsive, and less intentional. Slowing down creates more space in your life to be more creative. Say No today to multi-tasking, say Yes today to presence and creativity will follow! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/59d1c2fc03596e6dea317403/1506919998543/51+Play+to+play.jpg Inspiration Heart moments All mammals play! It is a crucial part of their development towards survival. Play is not just preserved for the young. We need play in all stages of our life. Adults tend to meet that need through playing sports. But sports is a very different kind of play. Most sports people play to win. What if for once, we do what children do and we play to play. We play for the sake of the pure pleasure of using our creativity and imagination, rather than for the outcome of a victory or defeat. Go out and play, to play! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/59d1c3177131a5ddda3e42cc/1506920020443/52+Put+your+credit+in+the+bank+of+progress.jpg Inspiration Heart moments Start small and believe big. Invest in yourself, day after day and see what happens. The one thing you CAN do to grow your life is to start with the one thing you are GOOD at and doubling it’s value, day after day. Move on from survival, go past maintenance and invest in progress. Find your thing of excellence and practice it daily. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/59d1c3289f8dcefe14b67a84/1506920042813/53+Leave+the+nest+and+fly.jpg Inspiration Heart moments Not many people like receiving criticism. Especially destructive criticism. We prefer to hear how wonderful we are and how good a job we are doing. But criticism is also a building stone to greater goods if you learn to use it as an opportunity to growth. If you want to be better today then yesterday, you will have to come out of your comfort zone, be an initiator, and be prepared to receive criticism. In the words of Aristotle: “Criticism is something you can avoid easily by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.”Leave the nest and fly! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/59d1c34bcd0f6847b8fc3d49/1506920063438/54+Complete+rather+than+compete.jpg Inspiration Heart moments Are you trying to move forward but feel threatened by competition? Do you see others as a hindrance to your goals? Do you have a habit to compete others? Have you considered they can be an alley instead? As Ken Blanchard says” None of us is as smart as all of us.” Together we can achieve so much more. If you feel you are not moving ahead the way you would like to, do some soul searching. You know how to optimise your strength, but do you know how to go about your weakness? Team up with someone who can complete you or share with someone who you can complete. Together you can move from good to greatness. Complete rather than compete! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/59d1c3564c326dd2b35e327a/1506920093544/55+Invest+in+yourself.jpg Inspiration Heart moments Invest in yourself! Rather than robbing your family of time, you are filling your own vessel in order to be able to give even more to them. Investing in yourselves is an investment in your family. Make today a joyful day. Invest in yourself and enjoy to be in joy! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/59d1c36e8dd0412aba0f31f7/1506921308076/57+Disconnect+inside.jpg Inspiration Heart moments Your own backyard or nearby park of forest is home to many flowers and animals. Marvel and share these treasures and moments of awe and wonder with your partner or children. Nature creates many opportunities to share connection time that has special meaning for anyone involved. Today is the perfect day to connect. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/59d1c35cb07869e3794bbc21/1506921296459/56+Who+are+you+taking+for+a+walk...%3F.jpg Inspiration Heart moments 3-in-1! My real, my reflection and my shadow. I, me, and myself, all going for a walk... https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/59d1c3898dd0412aba0f32c9/1506921340508/58+I+am+enough.jpg Inspiration Heart moments How many dreams do you have that you don’t follow because of your deep fear of failing or disappointing others? So what? Authentic people make mistakes and they learn, they disappoint and they are real, they are imperfect and vulnerable, they struggle and they are strong. Let go of who you think you are supposed to be and embrace who you are. You are enough! Now chase that dream! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/59d1c38bd55b41b151c25fe5/1506921356497/59+Fans+or+friends.jpg Inspiration Heart moments We humans are social beings. We like to be in the company of others. We thrive on friendships. Today, think of one of your friends and when was the last time you added value to them. Go and spend some time with them. Are you their fan or are you their friend? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/59d1c3b16f4ca3b2087901e0/1506921368462/60+DAD+The+letters+that+really+matter.jpg Inspiration Heart moments This one is for all the dad’s today. One of the hardest parts of parenting is having confidence in our own instincts and abilities. With parenting being a ‘learn on the job’ role, there are many times we come into uncharted territories and feel out of our depth. Today, celebrate the thousands of little moments you have had and that are still to come being a dad. From soothing your newborn to catching your child in your arms as they are learning to ride their bike. Celebrate the letters behind your name that really matter. Happy Father’s day to all our dads! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/59d1c3d6cd0f6847b8fc4299/1506921410062/62+Let+the+heart+speak.jpg Inspiration Heart moments Want to connect this beautiful Sunday. Laughter, song and dance create connection. Don’t worry about what other people think. Be yourself, let go of being in control and looking cool, let the heart speak! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/59d1c3e3f43b5501b2f3b90a/1506921423490/63+Synergy+1%2B1%3D3.jpg Inspiration Heart moments Sometimes you meet a person and they just ‘drain’ you, they ‘zap’ your energy. Other times you meet a person and they ‘gain’ you, they add energy and together you are more than the sum of the two of you together. It’s called synergy. Today look for synergy. Find someone to hang out with who ‘gains’ you, not who ‘drains’ you. Find the one who equals 3, not 1… https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/59d1c3b929f1874f70a1f3af/1506921396662/61+Who+did+you+reach+out+to+today%3F.jpg Inspiration Heart moments We are living in an age of disconnection from human beings and connection to ‘virtual beings’. More and more people are living alone or in loneliness, regardless the fact we build more concentrated housing blocks. Many of us don’t know their neighbour, don’t talk to the girl behind the counter at the cornershop or never say a word to the bus driver. We are ‘cell-fishly’ attached to our cell phones, vastly losing the social skills necessary to maintain a basic relationship. New science points to the importance of relationships and how theseaffect our health and well-being. Human’s can’t thrive without the human bond... a safe, trusting and caring relationship. Emotional isolation has been found to be more dangerous to our health than smoking! We have a need for belonging and support. So today, as Sue Johnson suggests in her book ‘Love Sense’ reach out, take someone you know, or maybe someone you don’t know, for a latte today. It’s good for your health! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/59d1c3e9d7bdce30edb88ff4/1506921435020/64+Loose+yourself.jpg Inspiration Heart moments We are living in a world of instant gratification, instant buying, instant dating, instant fun and instant work. The external world of ‘instant’ is leaving little room for the ‘internal’ world of ‘life’. We are taking our work home, we keep our social media status up to date, we watch the latest reality tv shows. How much time and freedom do we have sit with our own thoughts, dreams and passions? Today, take time out to take time in, dream or do something you are passionate about. Loose yourself! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5a4614bce4966b1d2b1301a3/1514544443730/66+Knowledge+is+in+the+head+wisdom+in+the+heart.jpg Inspiration Heart moments I find myself often saying “I know, I know”. And yes, I do ‘know’, in my head! But knowledge is different from wisdom. What if today, instead of ‘knowing’ we focus on ‘feeling’? What if we stop the thinking for a moment, the operating from the head? And start the feeling, the operating from the heart? Will we find wisdom? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5a4614bb71c10be68a3e3167/1514544405522/65+Want+to+be+happy+change+the+thoughts.jpg Inspiration Heart moments Do you have days you wake up and feel instantly happy? Do you ever wake up and wonder if you will feel as happy today as you did yesterday? Why were you feeling so happy yesterday, but not today? What is different today from yesterday? Could it be your thoughts? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5a461549e2c4831ea058dd97/1514544475067/68+It%27s+called+the+heart+sense.jpg Inspiration Heart moments Today, find your sacred sense, the one we don't register with the brain. The one we can only notice with the heart... it’s where you find love. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5a46154471c10be68a3e39b5/1514544459334/67+Change+the+lens+we+look+through.jpg Inspiration Heart moments There are many ‘how to’s’ available to us today, we only need to google what we want to learn and we are inundated with YouTube video’s, blogposts, podcasts, images, webinars and so on. The information and practical ‘how to’s’ we have access to these days is overwhelming. But accessing a ‘how to’ or ‘step by step guide’ does not change our heart, the driver of change and does not make us do things differently. To really make a change we have to change our ‘eyes’. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5a4615b0e4966b1d2b131021/1514544489577/69+Have+faith.jpg Inspiration Heart moments Patience is “the capacity to accept or tolerate delay, trouble, or suffering without getting angry or upset”. Today participate in something that encourages you to be patient. Turn of the computer or tv, engage your hands, and your heart. Create, act, wait... for the birds to visit the bird feeder, the sun to set, the moon to rise, the dough to rise, your child to wake up. Focus on time to be, have faith, and patience will come as a natural response. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5a4615d00852292beeda48f7/1514544511161/70+Deep+listen+to+the+sound.jpg Inspiration Heart moments Deep listening is not listening to words, but listening to what is behind the words. Parents tend to ‘deep listen’ to their infant, they recognise their needs without the infant having to use words. We tend to stop deep listening once a baby starts talking. We stop deep listening because we start listening to the child’s words. And we continue this right into adulthood. The clutter of the words can colour our perception. Today, when you are engaging with another person, see if you can ‘deep listen’ to what they are really saying. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5a46160553450a6f05ee92da/1514544532103/71+Rituals-+celebrated+moments.jpg Inspiration Heart moments Rituals help with celebrating positive moments in our daily lives. They are a way of staying connected with the other members in our family. They mark special moments, big and small and recognise key times of belonging. Today have a think about what rituals you have in your family. From patting the dog when you get home to Sunday brunch at the local cafe, a daily after dinner walk or a hot cuppa with your partner to reconnect after a busy work day. Rituals are celebrated moments of connection. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5a46169ce2c4831ea058f246/1523875600459/72+Flounder+or+florish.jpg Inspiration Heart moments YOU are the single biggest influencer in your life. Every day is a new opportunity for growth, make today count. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5a461bcd53450a6f05eef375/1514544612195/74+We+are+all+artists.jpg Inspiration Heart moments “Are you an artist?” I was asked yesterday as I was admiring some beautiful bird sketches. “No”, I said, quickly followed with a “Yes, I am, we all are, all of us are creators, it’s in our genes.” Think about it, what is your greatest wealth? The ability to create! What is your greatest work of art? Your life! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5a461bcd9140b7fa15f17674/1514544582992/73+Be+captured+by+the+soul.jpg Inspiration Heart moments https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5a461c2141920273bed04aeb/1514544635126/75+Little+doors.jpg Inspiration Heart moments Last year I visited a gorgeous bed and breakfast that had small “hobbit” doors in the attic. As I explored the space each little “hobbit” door opened into the most amazing grand room, grand in the sense of beauty, feel and touch... I had been deceived by the look of the small doors... Opportunities and possibilities are often in the smallest nooks and grannies, it’s often the little BIG things that create the BIG little moments... Have courage, and open those little doors... https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5a461c4c71c10be68a3eb0b6/1514544666096/76+Simple+meal.jpg Inspiration Heart moments It’s not the fancy food that feeds us, it’s not the expensive presents that make us happy... Christmas is about togetherness and sharing love and kindness with family and friends. The food may feed the body, but it’s the meal that feeds the soul. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5ad47cb9562fa717624bc894/1523876021421/77+Employed+by+the+heart.jpg Inspiration Heart moments In our suburbs we have a man who walks the streets. Every day. No, he is not homeless. In fact he lives in my street. Evan picks up the rubbish, and makes a big difference to our community. Not because he picks up the rubbish. Sure, that keeps our environment clean. The biggest impact Evan makes is that he is a role model. A role model and a change maker. He is the change we want to see! Evan is not employed by the council. He is employed by his heart! At his age, Evan could be sitting at home watching sports, or playing bowls. There is nothing wrong with that, and maybe that is what he does too. But Evan has employed himself by his heart. He has chosen to take action about something he does not like, like littering the streets. In our sector I hear a lot of disgruntlement. The sector is dumbing down, there is not enough funding, quality is sacrificed… We complain, and at the same time we keep going about our usual daily business as we have done all along. I hear so many voices these days complaining and using ‘the others’ (MOE, managers, owners, corporates) as the excuse for their environments. They complain from the comfy of the seat of their chair… We can be like Evan. We can change our mindset and do something about our environment. If it isn’t in the seen, it can be in the unseen. Yes, you may have a manager who doesn’t 'get it', or a team who is ‘passed it’. But we all have a child in front of us. A child who does not know nor care about compliance, budgets and targets. A child who wants YOU and your love, your care, your kindness, NOW. You are in control of WHO you are in front of that child, regardless what ‘the others’ do. If you want change, then be the change. Act now, in your own little ‘backyard’. Be like Evan. At the start of the New Year allow yourself to be employed by your heart! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5ad47d3288251b90ed6bdc31/1523875535419/78+Risk+to+free+yourself.png Inspiration Heart moments A whole new year. What is on the menu? Is love going to be one of the ingredients? “Love between you and the other”, whoever that other is, your partner, your child, your parent, your sibling, your colleague”, is about creating moments of engagement and connection. For some of us that may feel risky, and be a struggle. But if love is on our menu then we can’t remain in the bud. Blossom... engage and connect, and the menu will be all the richer. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5ad47d3370a6ad118aa8906b/1523875559764/79+Who%27s+in+the+driver+seat%3F.jpg Inspiration Heart moments Presence, a word that gets thrown around a lot these days. Ample books have been written about it. In a nutshell, presence goes beyond the story attached to a feeling. The story is in the past. Presence is sitting with what you can actually feel directly, in this moment. What if you let go of the story and not be influenced by your reactions to that story? Instead, you relax, let go of any resistance, desire or preference that comes up and go with the flow of life. What will you be doing if you put the present in the driver seat today? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5ad47d77562fa717624bdb10/1523875639171/80+Whose+candle+are+you+lighting%3F.jpg Inspiration Heart moments Here at the Heart School we believe that sharing what we know and love is worthwhile. We feel in our hearts that there are people out there crying out for words of inspiration, but to have confirmation is a very special thing. From time to time we receive feedback from people like you, teachers who share their kindness and thank us for the work we put out. This is always a special gift to us, these words, this acknowledgement, and it drives us to continue on the path we are on. What is in our hearts is also in the hearts of others. We can use our flames of knowledge to light the candle of others. Whose candle are you lighting today? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5ad47d812b6a28134fdd22ba/1523875661552/81+Intentions.jpg Inspiration Heart moments It’s March, how can that happen so fast? It feels like only yesterday I was contemplating new years resolutions. If you are like me, chances are those resolutions didn’t last that long, hence I prefer to call them intentions. Intentions have power and create awareness. They usually take your “why” and “what” into account. And this is where the power lays. Even when you don’t follow through for the year, which often happens with resolutions, having thought about your intentions is worth the effort. If you build on that, it’s not failure. Today, on this beautiful Autumn Sunday use the power of your why and what. Let it help you, rather than fail you. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5ad47daa6d2a73331c8c92d4/1523875680856/82+Get+to+know+yourselves.jpg Inspiration Heart moments   The more we know ourselves, the more we will understand others. How well do you know yourselves? Do you know what you want? What you need? Today, examine what your desire is. Believe hundred percent, with all the passion you have, in something that doesn’t exist, you don’t have. Commit to getting to know yourself. Pursue what you want. Do that one thing today. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5ad47dbef950b77bff8fdd7b/1523875702481/83+Thank+you.jpg Inspiration Heart moments We only moved in our new house a few months ago. When we bought this section we saved the trees from the developers and now the apple tree is loaded with yummy juicy apples, as if to say “thank you”. But it is us who want to say ‘thank you’, to our community for welcoming us. We’ve put up a simple sign at our letterbox saying “help yourself” with a few buckets full of apples, sharing our abundance with our new neighbourhood. The other evening the door bell rang and one of the neighbours dropped of home made treats to say thank you, as a ‘barter’ for the apples she took. The treats were yummy but the feeling of community was more delicious! Today, what can you do to to say ‘thank you’ to your community? A bag of grapefruit, or a forgotten box of books in the garage, or the toy no one plays with? A simple thank you can taste great. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5ad47df42b6a28134fdd2d9d/1523875725361/84+Conquer+fear.jpg Inspiration Heart moments A little chaffinch had ‘lost it’s way’ and landed on our deck. My goldie Koda walked up to it and I thought he was 'going for it'. Instead, to my astonishment, he bowed down as if to say “don’t be scared, let’s be friends and play”. It was such a special moment to witness. And deep in my heart I wondered why we humans can’t do the same more often. It’s not about being the biggest, the strongest, the smartest... it’s about being courageous, trustworthy, compassionate and true. It’s about being present with others whilst staying true to yourself. Brave are those who conquer their fear from heart to heart, bypassing their own individual needs for the needs of the collective. What fear can you conquer today, heart to heart? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5ad47e3b352f53c87a50facf/1523875792458/86+Love%2C+it%27s+okay.jpg Inspiration Heart moments A few days ago I felt extremely sad. It made me uncomfortable and I wanted to cover it up. Do you feel sad sometimes? Your friend is suffering, or you lost a loved one? You feel compassionate and empathy and you cover up your feelings, wanting not to show this too much to the person in distress, thinking you need to protect that person from showing your own vulnerability. After all, you are supposed to be the helper, not the helplessness? If you stop for a moment and ask WHY you are feeling what you are feeling, you may discover that the one and only answer to that question is LOVE, for the other person... and what is wrong with that? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5ad47e3aaa4a990467240c12/1523875768166/85+Life+force.jpg Inspiration Heart moments   Over the last few days I have witnessed the most beautiful Sun rises from my little place here at the beach. Jesus calls it love, the Buddha calls it compassion, and here in Aotearoa we call it ‘mana’... the force in us that touches all of us. Unconsciously we ‘charge’ others that come in our ‘light’. It’s an ‘energy’ that has more power than anything forged or fabricated. This is the power we all have, the power to be real and authentic. Like the Sun, let your mana shine, unconditional. Happy Easter! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5ad47e63575d1f10b3051ccc/1523875930912/87+Be+prepared.jpg Inspiration Heart moments Last weekend I went camping in the bush. I have to admit I was a bit nervous in the lead up. The weather had taken a turn, daylight was much shorter, and I had not previously met the other campers. I was going bush with a group of strangers. Then I remembered our mantra at work... preparation in the head, the heart and the hand. Why not apply this in my personal life? I started with the head. It was going to be 7 degrees overnight and some rain was expected. That’s crucial information when you are heading into the bush. Next I moved to the hand. Cold and rain meant digging up my merinos, packing my rain gear and bringing my down sleeping bag. Those are important items to prepare and pack. Now I was ready to move to the preparation of the heart. There was an immense cacophony in my head going on; will I be able to do all the tasks, will I meet the expectations, will I like the people I am spending the next two days with, how do I prevent getting lost? Mark Nepo says it beautifully... "It is the speaking of one's heart that makes a human being human". I acknowledged the self talk, without judgment, and took a moment of silence. Soon my heart was feeling lighter and more open. I was ready for a new adventure. Preparation had made all the difference! What can you prepare for in the head, heart and hand today? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5c5b8a0b9b747a54aaa1962b/1549508054244/88+Laughter.jpg Inspiration Heart moments Earlier in the week a big ‘sigh’ escaped me. My husband turned to me and said “What?”. “Nothing”, I said, followed with “Your ‘what’ is such a BIG question”. He looked up again and said “What?“. And I couldn’t help but burst into laughing. My initial big ‘sigh’ was a respond to my frustration trying to find the answer to some questions that don’t really have an answer. I was pondering on some issues that had come onto my path. The last couple of weeks have been intense and lately one ‘bad’ thing seemed to follow another ‘bad’ thing. I was pondering on all those ‘bad’ things and wondering what ‘good’ I could take away from them, when, before I even realised it, a big ‘sigh’ escaped. That ’sigh’ turned out to be just the answer I needed at that time as the resulting laughter changed the whole energy of the moment. Laughter is such a crucial part in our lives. When it is spontaneous, heartfelt, and catching it is an Instant medicine that doesn’t need a prescription and comes with free refills. Try some laughter today! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5c5b8a0b971a1856633d8461/1549508077674/89+Biggest+playground.jpg Inspiration Heart moments The last ten days I spent traveling through the upper part of the South Island, exploring bush trails, caves, beaches and mountain tops, and enjoying being in, on and with nature. I hiked several hut trails and, to my oh so pleasant surprise, I met several families tramping with children. And, to my even greater surprise, most of them were women alone with children. I talked to some of them, curious what brought them out there and what a pleasure to hear them talk about unplugging their children during the school holidays and taking them bush... “dad can’t get time of work so I take them by myself”. This has given me hope, seeing there are still kiwi kids growing up spending their holidays in the bush or at the beach, in a bach or hut without electronics... playing in the biggest playground on earth... the great outdoors! I wanted to share that today, because it put a smile on my face, and I hope it does on you too! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5c5b8a63a4222f08b49c7134/1549508139124/91+Happy+Mother%27s+Day.jpg Inspiration Heart moments “I am now seventy-one years old. I feel, still, deep in my mind, my first experience, my mother's care. I can still feel it. That immediately gives me inner peace, inner calmness.” - Dalai Lama 2007. To all you beautiful mothers and to all of those mothers who have loved and cared for us, who are with us today, or in our hearts forever - HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5c5b8a56e79c70a854fd5135/1549508102504/90+Train+the+brain.jpg Inspiration Heart moments In his TEDX talk “The Happy Secret to Better Work” Shawn Achor mentions that “If you can raise somebody's level of positivity in the present, then their brain experiences what we now call a happiness advantage, which is your brain at positive performs significantly better than at negative, neutral or stressed. Your intelligence rises, your creativity rises, your energy levels rise.” If we can train our brain to become more positive, to create a happiness advantage, we become more happy. And happiness predicts success, contrary to the much accepted believe that success creates happiness. How can we train our brain to think more positive and build up a happiness advantage? Spend time with your loved ones, exercise, meditate/pray/silence moments, random acts of kindness and nourish your own "happy place". https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5c5b8a8ce5e5f02e13336302/1549508164356/92+Do+good+and+feel+a+smile.jpg Inspiration Heart moments “For it is in giving that we receive” - St Francis On Friday I donated some of my time to the local hospice for their annual street appeal. I was to stand with a bucket outside one of the local supermarkets. Upon leaving the house I said to my husband “I haven’t done this before, I am not sure what to do, I assume I just stand there and smile?” Little did I know there was no need to worry and no need to ‘plaster’ a smile on my face. People were very willing to gift. For some it was a few coins, for others a couple of notes. It didn’t matter. What mattered was the genuine compassion and generosity I witnessed amongst these strangers. I could see it in the eyes, in the smile and in the gesture of these people, who connected through kindness. I couldn’t help myself but smile with every gift. This was what a real smile feels like. The power of kindness was showing its true force! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5c5b8ab4f4e1fc889299fd35/1549508212850/94+Find+your+passion.jpg Inspiration Heart moments One of my favourite songs is Secrets by One Republic. One of my favourite quotes is Secrets by Ludwig von Beethoven. Put them together and you have The Piano Guys. Have you ever watched them play? If you haven’t you are in for a treat. Whenever I need an uplift I watch The Piano Guys, especially their cello guy. Watching him takes me right down to that place where passion lives. It’s feeling passion in action and it’s absolutely catching. Once you taste passion you can’t get enough, it’s one of those flavours that is addictive and you wish for more and more. When people ask me where I get my energy from, I only have one answer: Passion + Inspiration = Energy + Motivation. Bring me more passion anytime! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5c5b8aa59140b749eb77b430/1549508191131/93+Don%27t+go+back+to+sleep.jpg Inspiration Heart moments “The breezes at dawn have secrets to tell you Don't go back to sleep!” - Rumi The other day I was in the passenger seat driving down SH1. It was an early Monday morning, the start of a new week. It was just after dawn, the sun was making its way up across the horizon. I was looking out of the window at the view passing by. I passed a house that had looked inhabited for ages. This day there was a couple sitting on a seat outside, in their gowns with what looked like a cup of coffee. My mirror neurons were immediately activated, and a feeling of peace and calmness came over me. All because of a couple drinking coffee watching the sunrise. It made me think how often do I go back to sleep? How often do I see such a peaceful sight, and if I see it, do I really notice it, does it grab my attention? That day I didn’t go back to sleep, and the moment shifted something inside me, presenting me with a much calmer start to the week ahead. We hear a lot these days about ‘being in the moment’, and if you have been wondering what that means, it means just that…. noticing a couple drinking coffee in peace and harmony. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5c5b8af6ee6eb05bcb44bfe4/1549508227826/95+Use+your+freedom%2C+change+your+mind.jpg Inspiration Heart moments I always thought I don't have any power to make a change in the world. Until I came across some profound words... What is the greatest gift we have received as humans? It’s our will. We are in charge of our own thinking. We can choose what we think and we can change what we think. That is our biggest freedom. And this is where our power lays. Changing our thoughts will change our actions. This is what will change the world! The power to use our freedom to change our mind is on us! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5c5b8afee4966b048bc2e3ba/1549508246946/96+Beat+boredom%2C+be+curious.jpg Inspiration Heart moments Two years ago I stepped away from owning and running my two preschools. I had no immediate plans other than a holiday which had already been planned and organised before the thought of stepping out even came up in my mind. Not having any plans is unusual for me. I am a planner, organiser, adjuster and executer. In short, I am a “shipper”, I ship things, ideas, moments, experiences... It came as no surprise that I had one fear when I left my preschool and my life as I knew it. And that was my fear of boredom. Now, two years later, I still haven’t had one minute of boredom. In fact, there is not enough time in the day to do all the things I WANT to do. When I left my preschools and started thinking about my fear for boredom I realised I had an innate strength we are all born with. And it was about time I tapped in to it! It’s called curiosity! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5c5b8b3ec83025da569f43c4/1549508261033/97+Catch+up+on+your+heart+list.jpg Inspiration Heart moments It’s weekend, and what do we do? We play ‘catch up’ with our to-do list, rather than our to-be list. We run errands, move a pile of laundry, get the groceries for the week, mow the lawns... and by the time Sunday evening arrives we are exhausted instead of refreshed. We have forgotten the weekend is for resting, reconnecting and refueling. We have forgotten to work on our heart, and instead continue to work on our head. Let go of the chores and catch up on your heart. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5c5b8b7c971a1856633d9738/1549508293628/99+Can+you+hear+it+crackling%3F.jpg Inspiration Heart moments The other day I was lighting the fire. My mind was absent, my heart even more. I was cold, and tired and I didn’t want to put any effort in prepping a fire. I scrunched up some newspaper, and threw in kindling and some bigger blocks on the top. Mechanically I lighted a match and set the paper on fire. I was so absent I hadn’t even realised I had lighted it until the big flame that erupted jolted me back to earth. I looked at it and then noticed I wasn’t hearing the usual crackling sound. I knew straight away that this fire wasn’t going to go anywhere. No crackling, no fire! This silence meant defeat. Reluctantly I rebuild the fire, this time with a present mind and a more caring heart. A layer of newspaper, a layer of kindling, another layer of paper and then a finishing layer of two big logs. I lighted the paper and was rewarded with a steady warm fire... and the sound of crackling. During the week I’ve found myself a few times listening for a ‘crackle’, a sign it’s all good... https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5c5b8b50652dea319f361f01/1549508276238/98+Stuff+love+in+a+box.jpg Inspiration Heart moments Two years ago I started the journey of declutter. It’s a long intense journey that continues to this day. For decades I have been filling boxes with anything and everything. Box after box got stored, in the attic, on the shelf in the closet, under my bed, in the garage. Many of them full with sentimental items, or so I believe. Until I read Courtney Carver’s book “Soulful Simplicity”. Now, after all those years of ‘stuffing’ I have come to realise that what I was trying to keep wasn’t the item, but the love it encompasses. My sister made me this, my mother send me that, my first report card, my first doll. For years I have been trying to stuff love in a box! And not just that, I was putting so much stuff in boxes, everything was so important to keep, that actually nothing really was! As Courtney writes in her book, love doesn’t thrive in boxes up in attics or under my bed. Love lives in my heart where it doesn’t turn into clutter! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5c5b8ba2104c7b12886dc6c5/1549508315134/100+Shine+where+you+land%21.jpg Inspiration Heart moments A couple of weeks ago I was hiking around a lake when it started raining. It wasn’t a heavy rain so I continued walking. I zipped up my raincoat, pulled my hat over my head, looked down and upped my pace. Then the rain stopped. I looked up and around and noticed a zillion raindrops hanging of branches, leaves, rocks, anything and anywhere. Every single raindrop was a different entity, small, big, large, lumpy. Even so they all were made up of water. I stopped and looked at them with curiosity. The slightest touch, the tiniest breeze, they were so brittle and yet they were so strong hanging on, shining where ever they had fallen, surrendered to what is. Can I surrender and shine where I land? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5c5b8bb371c10bf022bd2e82/1549508337384/101+Steps+belong+to+you%3F.jpg Inspiration Heart moments My youngest daughter taught me an important lesson today. Right now she is on a science school trip in the Amazon and the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador. We haven’t heard from her for a while, as you can imagine, wifi is not readily available in the Amazonian rainforest. I was delighted to get a message from her earlier today. Great, she has a signal, I thought, bring on the photos. But the photos aren’t forthcoming. So I asked her why not? And she replied that she didn’t take many photos. She has been too busy diving with sea turtles, hanging out with the aboriginal people in the rainforest, kayaking around the islands and all the other incredible experiences that will take her by the hand for the rest of her life (in the words of Bev Bos). I noticed a slight feeling of disappointment, no photos means nothing to show, but quickly I realised the big message here… She has more to show than a memory card ever will. She captured life with the heart lens, not the camera lens! My daughter made sure the steps in this adventure belonged to her, and not her ego! And I am a proud mum :-) https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5c5b8bd19140b749eb77c1e3/1549508363874/102+Don%27t+carry+too+much%21.jpg Inspiration Heart moments One of the lessons in life I am still learning is to let go of what I have been gripping tight to that doesn’t serve me anymore. Declutter... not just the seen stuff, but also the unseen. Everything starts as a thought and it is from this foundation that my creations and inventions evolve. Good thoughts create good days! Busy thoughts create busy days! I have come to realise that when I feel overwhelmed, for what ever reason, it’s because I am gripping to too many thoughts. And rather than dancing I am tripping and stumbling. After years and years of tripping and stumbling I am practicing filling my pack with less and less because the less I carry around, the easier it is to dance my body, smile my heart and relax my mind! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5c5b8c30e5e5f02e1333779a/1549508417750/103+Dream+lifters.jpg Inspiration Heart moments A special Heart moment for you ❤️ Ever since I was a child I’ve had dreams. I’ve held on to them, with a tight grasp. I’ve made sure I would spend time with people who lift me up when chasing my dreams, and I never had much time for the dream stealers. My dreams have always been a matter of the heart. “Gnothi Seauton” are the words at the entrance to the Oracle of Delphi... Know Thyself. How can I know myself if I don’t take the matters of my heart seriously, if I don’t listen to the voice of my heart? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5c5b8c50eb393140dc78120e/1549508505239/115+Armistice+day+2018.jpg Inspiration Heart moments This morning I attended the Armistice Day Centenary celebrations at our National War Memorial in Wellington. Words cannot describe the way I feel when I am surrounded by so many of us coming here together as strangers on the outside, but united on the inside. We are all there for the same reason… remembrance, peace and hope. There is a feeling of unity and reverence as we observe two minutes silence, and a feeling of pride and joy as we sing our national anthem. I wonder why we can feel so united one moment and so disjointed another moment. And I feel a sadness creeping in. WWI was meant to be the war to end all wars. It did not. Then I remember that it was my son this morning who wanted to come to this commemoration. And I look at him and then around and I see many more young people, Gen Y, Gen Z, paying their respects. They are here this Sunday morning, showing us they won’t forget the sacrifices their forefathers made. And it gives me joy, and hope. Hope in our future generation, and hope for a future without wars, because if we lose our hope we have lost the war! Lest we forget. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5c5b8c6d652dea319f362cb6/1549508530587/116+Inspired+by+the+elderly.jpg Inspiration Heart moments Earlier this week I met an elderly woman. She came and set at my table and started talking to me. About the six weeks voyage when she sailed to NZ from Europe in the early fifties. How she and her husband were the only ones on the whole ship who would go to the back of the ship and sit there and watch the sun set. “Oh, she’s like me”, I thought and it made me smile, aThe connection was made. Then she continued talking, how they would hold hands on their daily walk until her husband passed away. They were married for over 60 years! Now she spends her days visiting the local hospital where she volunteers and spoon feeds patients with dementia. Her age, 87! “Another epic adventure”, I thought, “they don’t have to be big, they happen all around me in my own community. It’s called LIFE”. The children have always been my teachers... and the elderly my inspiration! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5c5b8c94e4966b048bc2f6be/1549503710071/117+Big+dreams.jpg Inspiration Heart moments https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/t/5c5b9fb2c83025da56a03912/1549503710071/ Inspiration Heart moments https://www.heartschool.nz/inspiration-zentails daily 0.75 2018-04-16 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/58e9c9f9579fb3bebadd5186/1493074659359/20+Koda+spark+inside+of+us.jpg Inspiration Zentails Maybe it's hard to believe for our Hawkes Bay friends, but here at the Kapiti Coast it doesn’t seem summer has arrived, yet! It's been unusual cold for the time of year, with less sunshine and more overcast than expected in summer. Koda loves his walks and to him there is no such thing as good or bad weather, warm or cold summer, clear sky or overcast. For him there is only one weather, one day, one moment! He’ll give me a nudge “come on, it’s walkies time”. And I will look outside, at the droopy weather. It reminds me of a quote from Elisabeth Kubler-Ross: - “People are like stained glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within.” In Koda I see hope and I see a spark, I see beauty! I take an extra layer of clothing, I pack a beanie in my bag and I find that spark inside of me...! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/58e9c9f8440243b385d33bcf/1493075510521/21+Koda+observe+your+thoughts.jpg Inspiration Zentails We all want to help. We all care. We want it so much that at times we just jump in. We leap in because we take it personally, or we want to ‘solve the problem’. We listen and we judge, we use our mind and then... we find ourselves tending to our own thoughts ‘fixing’ things. Have you ever noticed that? And because we are so busy with our own thoughts, we have less space to pay attention to letting the things simply be and run its own course. We can’t stop the thoughts, but we can stop the awareness. We can do what Koda does. He takes his time, he doesn’t react, he responds! Koda watches, Koda waits, he knows that if he reacts, it will be gone, but if he responds, he has a chance. That means observing our thoughts, but remain focussed on that what is in front of us, be it the child or another adult! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/58e9ca1703596efb3203135a/1493074940731/19+Koda+the+breeze+at+dawn.jpg Inspiration Zentails How many of us wake up every day with the same habits and the same routines? We think the same thoughts and we do the same actions. Kinda like being on auto pilot. And then we are surprised we are not really doing, or receiving what we want. Life kinda happens and we sleepwalk through it. Even though every day brings new opportunities and new moments to make a change. Koda lives fully in the moment, he does not think about the past, he does not think about the future. Every day he wakes up full of excitement. For him there is no ‘same old, same old’. Even if there is, he doesn't think like that. Every morning he goes outside and stands on top of our water tanks. From the top of our dune he overlooks the paddocks where the earth is waking up and lifting its blanket. Koda takes a brief moment, and then runs of, with no intention to go ‘back to sleep’, because to him every moment, every dawn is a new opportunity and 'life doesn’t just happen', he makes it happen! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/58e9ca28be659458e81a7a2c/1493075014254/17+Koda+observing.jpg Inspiration Zentails We tend to see a lot. But that doesn’t mean we observe enough. Observation is not an idle process, but something active and involved. It’s when we observe we can meet the needs from a heart place. Instead of just using our eyes to see, we can engage our heart to observe. It’s then that we respond more, and react less. A response from the heart fills up our emotional fuel tank. Reacting from the head puts up barriers to connection. Like Koda does when he is out on his walkies, let’s slow down, be present and tune in. If we un-busy ourselves, we don’t just see, we observe. When we observe, we connect. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/58e9ca23bf629ae3d5e50277/1493074964323/18+Koda+step+into+the+unknow.jpg Inspiration Zentails At times we all have the human tendency to stay inside our comfort zone. It give us a feeling of security. Our comfort zone is the known, and it has its merits and its place. Learning takes place when we step out of our comfort zone, into the unknown. There are times we are confident and step into the unknown without hesitation. At other times we are anxious and we are reluctant to step outside our comfort zone. We do not know what is ahead of us, we do not know whatever it is we feel we need to know. We hold on, to the known, to the comfort. We feel challenged stepping out into the unknown, and we don't like it. But if we look at Koda, who steps into the unknown on a daily basis without attachments and without expectations, we can see that challenges can become opportunities of learning. Koda naturally has a deep inner sense of feeling safe in the unknown, because he surrenders, he is spontaneous and in the moment. At first the unknown may create confusion, but it's confusion that creates learning. Let go of all the structures that help you keep safe once they don't serve you anymore. Don't let these structures become a constraint. Unleash them, and like Koda without a leash, step into the unknown. It's where learning takes place! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/58e9ca4d3e00be49e5b863cc/1493075032640/16+Koda+and+Linc+Superhero.jpg Inspiration Zentails Ever feel disheartened? Feel like you are giving it your best shot and not achieving what you were hoping to achieve? Feel like others seem to be these superheros who whatever they put their hands on seem to turn everything into gold? Don't believe it. No one is a superhero on their own. We all add our own sugar and salt to the big cake. As Mother Teresa put it. "I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things". Koda and Linc realise that very well! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/58e9ca4fe3df28b2c248a5c6/1493075049246/15+Koda+Gate+open.jpg Inspiration Zentails We both have returned from an invigorating holiday, a much needed break. Holidays allow us to take time to stop and focus on our life, outside work and/or the usual business of raising a family. We feel more alive during holidays. We are more relaxed and at the same time more energetic. Thinking about it, if we look at Koda, or Linc, they don’t need a holiday to be alive. Maybe we can learn from them! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/58e9ca773e00be49e5b86cd8/1493075087226/13+Koda+It+is+a+good+day.jpg Inspiration Zentails Have you ever made a list of times in your life when you have felt extremely happy, feeling fully alive? Try it! Big chance that for many of you most items on your list would have involved the outdoors or doing something physical. Just like Koda, we love running, skipping, dancing, walking, traveling, we love being active. We tend to forgot how simple it actually is to bring joy in our lives. How do we live, from day to day? We have a responsibility to not only look after others, we also have the responsibility to look after our own soul. For Koda everyday is a good day to do what brings him joy? What about your day? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/58e9ca77b8a79b774a5ad160/1493075068514/14+Friendship.jpg Inspiration Zentails When Koda and Linc met for the first time there was a bit of ruffling going on. The relationship had to be established. It didn't take long though and the two of them headed of to the beach as if they were long lost friends. Dog or human, we all need friends in our lives. Friends who are kind to us, friends who make a difference in our lives through big little things. Kindness is a quality of the heart. Dogs understand this, they live in the moment, they live in the heart. If we honour the spirit of ourselves and of those around us, we act with kindness. Always! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/58e9ca9f197aea9c40d43a47/1493075106827/12+Linc+and+Blue+play.jpg Inspiration Zentails What is more natural for dogs than to play? All mammals play when they grow up, it is coded into their genes. Children need to play in order to learn. Just as we can’t separate learning from living, we cannot separate playing from learning. Play is a process that is freely chosen, personally directed and intrinsically motivated. Blue and Linc have got this sorted. They find pleasure in sticks just as children do. The stick is passive until the dogs pick it up and make it ‘active’. Just like children do with passive toys. They make action happen with their whole selves. Their minds, hands, bodies work together to transform an object from something passive to something active and creative. Do you have active toys or active children at your programme? You can’t have both! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/58e9caa5c534a5cb836d562a/1493075143421/11+Linc+in+the+moment.jpg Inspiration Zentails They say it's a dogs life. Here is what Linc did for his Easter. Dogs know how to be in the moment, one hundred percent! They have no agenda, just pure pleasure! They give full attention and are unconditional love on legs. We can learn a lot from Linc. If we pause, observe and allow for the discovery of beautiful moments in our day, be it taking a nap, daydreaming under the clouds or having a laugh with friends, we will be able to appreciate the everyday magic in our day. Teaching is a heartfelt calling. Do what Linc does from time to time, it will nurture your body, heart and soul! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/58e9cab96a49638159f6d883/1493075177269/10+Koda+sunset.jpg Inspiration Zentails Koda loves being at the beach house. It means more walkies as usual, it also means more space and more freedom. The evenings are a real treat as we often go for an extra walk on the beach watching and listening to mother Earth as she prepares for the night. Sunsets at the beach are spectacular and as a family we stop every night to enjoy those couple of minutes when nature puts on the most phenomenal show, totally unplugged! Those couple of minutes, no matter how short, give us a turbo recharge. After all, we human beings are not like mobile phones! We don't need an external source to plug in to, we can recharge ourselves by plugging in to our heart. So keep your heart filled with happiness, never miss a sunset because you are looking down! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/58e9cabe1b631be4d885758f/1493075208753/09+Koda+play.jpg Inspiration Zentails The weather over the Summer break has been incredible. We have been enjoying daily walks to the beach where Koda loves to run and jump through the puddles and the waves, sometimes up to three times a day! We don't stop him from getting wet and dirty. Instead, we see it as only natural. After all, he is a dog and all dogs play! Koda shows us the joy and pleasure it brings when he can do what he is wired to do, without us bursting his bubble. He reminds us that children too are wired to play. Imagine the joy and pleasure the children receive when they too can play, without their bubble getting burst! And what about your bubble of play? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/58e9cae046c3c45cf06b14f1/1493075241801/07+Koda+slow+down.jpg Inspiration Zentails Does it amaze you how busy, frantic and stressed people get at this time of the year in this corner of the world? It may have something to do with the combination of Christmas and the start of Summer, with businesses closing down for summer break. Watching Koda going through his normal daily routines, Christmas looming or not, gives a complete different perspective. He is chilled, playful and always present with full attention. We can take a page out of his book. Slow down, unplug more and give presence to our families and children. It may be the best gift we can give our children and ourselves! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/58e9cb321e5b6c098b2e9c4d/1493075284868/06+Koda+playground.jpg Inspiration Zentails Sometimes when we wake up, the sky is grey and cloudy, it is cold and raining, and the wind blows and rattles. You think of all the work that is waiting for you: deadlines to meet, meetings to prepare, reports to write, emails to answer, phone calls to make. It all seems like a battle. And then, as you start working your way through a few of the tasks it stops raining, the sun comes out, the sky turns blue and the earth warms up. That is the moment to pick yourself up and go outside. Run through the dunes, watch the view, listen to the waves, walk through the forest, smell the flowers, enjoy the song of the birds and jump in the puddles left behind by the morning rain. Remember, play is the way every day! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/58e9cacf8419c2d993ab9a93/1493075226119/08+Koda+what+you+see.jpg Inspiration Zentails Koda knows when to chill out and enjoy the moment. Warm summer nights are such moments, with the light of the setting sun glowing up the Earth before it settles down for the night. Koda reminds us to slow down, to not only look, but see! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/58e9cb5886e6c0b3d2ef6c24/1493075303715/05+Koda+surrender.jpg Inspiration Zentails At times we have a spanner thrown in the works. We have plans for the day, then things pop up and what we had planned or anticipated is not going to happen. We may have feelings of frustration and disappointment. What if we surrender, and let go of our expectations, of what “I ought to be doing”? If we let go of the structure that no longer would serve us, a structure that instead would become a constraint, we may actually have the most peaceful day, in great companionship. Sometimes its best to surrender and let go, and open up to what is in front of you. A lesson Koda, and our cat Pippin mastered a long time ago! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/58e9cb5a46c3c45cf06b2caf/1493075316742/04+Koda+spring.jpg Inspiration Zentails It's Spring time! And Koda knows it. The rain at 'his patch' created huge puddles and floods, but this doesn’t stop him from going outside. Rather than avoiding the wet, he jumps straight into it. And he is so right. We are born to be outside, and to connect with nature. We need to be in, on, and with the earth, and that means touching, smelling, tasting, listening, seeing the earth. After the rain is such a perfect time to experience all this, when the earth is soaking up the water that brings life to everything. If you have spend more time inside this Winter, than seize the moment, now is the time to go outside and reconnect with the earth. Do it today, feel the magic of new life springing forth everywhere ... after all, it's Spring! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/58e9cb75d1758e676a22dfa1/1493075338252/03+Koda+view.jpg Inspiration Zentails Nothing lasts forever, nothing is perfect and nothing is ever finished! Changes happen all around us. They can make us uncertain, but also exciting and curious about a new journey that is ahead of us. Enjoy it, wherever it will take you! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/58e9cb822994ca304a97faf0/1493075353989/02+Koda+home.jpg Inspiration Zentails There are times I miss my home country, where I was born and grew up, where my roots are and where I have friends and all my family! Having lived in New Zealand for nearly half my life now, I love this beautiful country, where my children were born, where I have a place and where I have lots of friends. They say home is where the heart is. Can it be in both countries? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/58e9cb99893fc0148f9c3a5e/1493075373884/01+Koda+love.jpg Inspiration Zentails Do you suffer from the Monday blues, after a great weekend? Why is it that we struggle with Mondays? Could it be that we enjoy the weekends because they are calmer and we seem to live more intentional? Is it because during the week we hurry from one thing to another, chasing whatever we are chasing, missing out on the things we really enjoy? Maybe we need to rethink what we commit too? Koda doesn't seem to have any problem at all with rushing. He takes his time and enjoys the moment. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/58fe85feebbd1a25ce8772df/1493075473716/22+Linc+Real+love+begins+.jpg Inspiration Zentails Expectations, we all have them. Expectations about ourselves, about others. Having expectations is a human tendency, and with it comes disappointment. The trouble is that expectations and the resulting disappointments can occupy our human mind and take away our peace of mind and freedom of mind. When that happens there is no room for love. Linc doesn't seem to have that problem. He stays in the present moment anytime. He isn't thinking of 'hopes', or 'how good things can be if'. All those thoughts don't matter to Linc. He's not desperately longing for anything, he's not fixated on a goal, he doesn't have expectations. He has plenty of room for love. He is one big loving machine. What if we had the same attitude as Linc, if we accepted who and where we are? Life is full of thoughts, emotions, actions. What if we let them exist, instead of engage with, what if for once we have no expectations, let it go and relax? Would we be, like Linc, a loving machine? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/591d52f6e58c62e170258850/1495094049008/23+Koda+paralyses+by+analyses+.jpg Inspiration Zentails To get ahead in all areas of life we require decisive action. Our human mind tends to analyse and at times over analyse, making it hard to make decisions as we get paralysed by all our thoughts. At times our minds bring the danger to complicate things rather than simplify them. Have you ever observed a playing dog in the park or at the beach? They don't tend to suffer from over analysing or paralyses. They look at what is in front of them, let it be a stick or a ball. They see what they look at and they understand what they see. They don't need to analyse that there is a stick in the water or a ball on the grass. They are going for it. Carrying is what the stick is for, retrieving is what the ball is for. That is what they understand and that is what they act upon. At the end of the day, that is what really matters. If you want the stick to come home stop over analysing. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/59d1d043f7e0abd6c5228107/1506922704901/24+Koda++Enter+the+world+of+play.jpg Inspiration Zentails hen I take Koda to the beach I enjoy watching him frolicking around, chasing seagulls, sniffing logs, running in circles, jumping through the waves. It’s pure pleasure to watch his world of play. What strikes me most is that he doesn’t need a toy to play and his play is without any expectations of outcomes or advancements. He does what he likes and he seems to have a lot of fun. Children too play without having expectations of achievements, advancements and outcomes. They play for the sheer joy of playing and the fun it brings. Just like Koda they don’t worry whether their imagination or their creation is going to get them somewhere in the near future. They totally play in the present moment. They are alive, here and now. Most of us adults have forgotten how to do that. When we play we want an outcome. We want to win the game, hike to the top, finish that bike ride, knit a beanie. We have become foreigners in the world of imaginative play where spontaneity and exploration are the rules of the game, not chasing goals and reaching outcomes. We can learn from Koda and let go of our expectations when we enter the world of play. If we play for the sheer joy of it we may get back the pleasure we had as a child and actually have fun! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/59d1d043be42d658b8a60b45/1506922674349/25+Linc+worrying+takes+away+todays+peace.jpg Inspiration Zentails We all worry at times. It’s a trigger to solve problems or take action. But worrying can become its own problem when it becomes irrational, turns into doom thinking, focusses on questions without answers, or things we can’t control. This is when worry turns doubts, fears and concerns into paralyses. Look at Linc. He is watching his human out there whilst he is inside. That may seem like a worry, because he so wants to be with her. At the same time he is very much at peace. He accepts, he surrenders, he does not judge, he does not worry. He is simplistic in his needs, he gives and receives love and he is content. He is happy with what is, this present moment. What can we do to prevent worrying robbing us from any peace we have? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/5a46090853450a6f05edbe0a/1514539419544/26+Koda+Understanding+is+love+other+name.jpg Inspiration Zentails Have you ever had a dog look you in the eyes? When I look at Koda my brain tells me what I see... I see two eyes, a nose, two ears... I am looking with my brain. But when Koda looks at me, with his two big dog eyes piercing into my eyes, it feels he doesn’t just see my face, my arms, my legs, it feels he sees ME. Koda sees the unseen, by looking into the heart. Sometimes I feel people just don’t understand me, they don't 'see' me. Sometimes I feel I don’t understand them, I don't 'see' them. But I never feel this with Koda. According to Thich Nhat Hanh “understanding is love’s other name”. I have been trying to be more understanding by 'seeing' more and using two puppy eyes that don't look at the body I see that is in front of me but that look at the heart that is unseen... Koda does it all the time, I am still learning. Wouldn't there be more understanding in the world if we all tried to 'see' a bit more?   https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/t/5ad480f76d2a73331c8ce2f3/1514539419544/ Inspiration Zentails Have you ever had a dog look you in the eyes?

They look at things differently then we do, they see things through a different window, they hear things we don't hear, they touch, smell and taste things we do not. Children discover the world with their whole heart, their busy minds and their active hands. And they do it all "up close and personal". Join them, you will be amazed at what you discover! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/58e998c2c534a5cb83626148/1495094802964/56+FB+THS+All+in+a+days+work.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces Happiness for your child is giving them experiences that will enrich their lives, create long lasting memories and cultivate wisdom. Experiences with the natural world, inside and outside, is an essential part of children's holistic development. The natural world is a means through which children find well-being and happiness, as well as physical, intellectual, spiritual and emotional stimulation. There are infinite treasures in a natural garden. Joy and happiness are abundant, wisdom is nurtured, friendships are formed and memories are created. All in a day's work! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/58e9990a3a0411706ad958ac/1495094838642/54+FB+THSWhat+is+left%3F.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces For a moment think about how many authentic interactions you experience in a day? Get back to the basics of it, to the process, not the product. So many things are covered up with unneeded bells and whistles, including our relationships and interactions with the young children in our care. Too much stimulation, too much "stuff". Take all that away, and ask yourself what is left? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/58e9995ee6f2e1dfce00711e/1495094850090/53+FB+THS+Inner+peace.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces Deepak Chopra says it so beautiful. “To make the right choices in life you have to get in touch with your soul. To do this, you need to experience solitude, ...” Where do your children go for some solitude? Have you created a familiar and homely place where they go to smell the flowers, to watch the bumblebees, to look for worms, and to listen to the birds? A place they trust, but also a place where they trust others in it? A place they know they will find stillness and be respected? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/58e999601b10e3a416c19554/1495094861721/52+FB+THS+Make+your+garden+a+community+place.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces Are you wondering on how to engage your parents as they are rushing in and out of the door? Create a garden! We have noticed how often the children take their parents on a tour, proudly showing them where the best place is to find worms, marvel at the strawberries that are ready to be picked, or looking at the cocoon that is about to hatch. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/58e999a4f7e0ab8357828d85/1495094880507/51+FB+THS+A+caring+person.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces Animals bring a unique dimension to your place. Caring for animalsfosters a sense of responsibility and compassion. It encourages a respect and reverence for life and other living beings. At The Nest we have a cat. The children have learned to walk around Sassy, to not chase her around and never pull her tail, attitudes that foster a sense of inner discipline and empowerment. They feed and give her water, and gently move her away when she is in the way. They have developed a communal sense of responsibility that comes with taking care of an animal like Sassy. But caring for animals in an early childhood centre should not be taken lightly. Animals do need special care and attention, more than the ‘pet in a cage’ approach. Done well, keeping animals can be a most rewarding addition. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/58e999be2e69cf277298e520/1495094892630/50+FB+THS+Soulless+or+soulfull.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces The combination of compliance and regulations, and the new health and safety law has the danger of creating “soulless” outdoor spaces with low maintenance environments, plastic toys and meaningless equipment. During early childhood the brain is shaped by our daily experiences, necessary for growth. If we create environments that are not over regulated by adult rules and societal priorities, but environments where children learn to manage dangers and risks, and where they can have those lifeshaping experiences, children will not only shape their brain, but also their soul. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/58e999e9f5e231a18a67712d/1495094905019/49+FB+THS+Living+space.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces Education and learning is inextricably interwoven into life. Pottering around, giving the space a homely feel is what makes a space alive and non clinical. We know from experience that the children's view to caring and loving their place rises if they are able to absorb life unfolding around them as they potter and tinker in their play. And remember, sometimes less is more! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/58e99a3c2e69cf27729903b1/1495094923330/48+FB+THS+Joy+in+the+ordinary.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces Children in full time care need to be experiencing real life, not artificial activities that are disconnected to life. They need to be able to absorb life unfolding around them as they freely potter and tinker in their play. They need to be able to experience the ordinary with joy, as it is then it becomes extra-ordinary. Seeing the magic in every day moments is the key of ‘being’ a heart centred teacher. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/58e99a4620099ea6ebc8cc49/1495094936939/47+FB+THS+Make+beauty+the+norm.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces Is your place beautiful but simple, 'carefully' and thoughtfully created? A space where the child's own imagination gets to put life to the passive things? A space that is inviting? Spaces that are prepared with beauty in mind are spaces where we can feel a whole different energy within us. We know someone has prepared this with their head, heart and hands! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/58e99ab18419c2d993a11e3b/1495094967081/45+FB+THS+Wondering.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces Modeling joy and gratitude is one of the greatest gifts we can give our children. Take time to wander and wonder! Be joyful. Slow down, laugh, show excitement over a awesome looking cloud in the sky instead of a silly picture on a phone. Don’t judge, just notice, be in-joy with the natural gifts of life. Looking at life with a sense of awe and wonder will bring joy not only in the children’s life, but your life too! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/58e99aa1893fc0148f919aa4/1495094950582/46+FB+THS+At+home.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces We know that an environment speaks volumes. If we were to put into words exactly what we want the children to hear it would be, "you are so welcome here, this is your place, it belongs to you. We know you can find true happiness here and we know that you'll thrive. Come in and make yourself at home"! It is our role as teachers to provide a place where children feel totally 'at home'. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/58e99b0720099ea6ebc8fc63/1495094991509/43+FB+THS+Children+feel+the+result.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces Children need to be enveloped by love and care and sense that they are safe and can unfold naturally and confidently. Ask yourselves a few questions about your environment. Take a sensory stocktake of your place. As you create beauty you restore your own soul at the same time. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/58e99af1893fc0148f91adca/1495094977354/44+FB+THS+A+rich+banquet.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces Does your environment offer children a daily diet of real and natural experiences? Do your children bake bread? Gather eggs from the chooks? Harvest veggies? Pick apples? Feed the animals? Water the plants? Do they arrange flowers? Rake the sand? What DO your children do? And what do YOU do? Are there things you do the children could do? Outdoors in a garden or indoors in a homely, safe space? Take a stock take of what you do and what the children (can) do. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/58e99b4e20099ea6ebc90f69/1495095009470/42+FB+THS+Only+authentic+experiences.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces An education of the heart does not come from a reset or restart at the push of a button, it comes from nature! Only authentic experiences can truly touch the heart. Watching a chick hatch on animal planet is entertaining. Watching, seeing, touching, hearing and smelling a chick hatch in real life is pure magic! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/58e99b5c1e5b6c098b2440e5/1495095022069/41+FB+THS+Create+an+environment+charged+with+atmosfair.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces One cannot deny the power of the vibe and how places can vibrate with either good or bad energy. Put energy into the unseen environment. The difference between FEAR or FAIRNESS in an environment: one we feel we belong and are connected the other we feel alone and disconnected. Children must be in environments where the energy is charged with FAIR, atmos-fair, not FEAR, atmos-FEAR. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/58e99ba0440243b385c927e5/1495095042092/40+FB+THS+Weather+is+irrelevant.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces Children don't seem to feel the cold as we, adults do. While they do need to be wrapped up warmly with suitable clothes that will keep them dry, here in New Zealand, they should be able to play outside in all temperatures. It is a myth that children catch a cold by being out in the cold -only catching a virus causes colds. Actually being outside might protect them from colds, as the viruses are more likely to pass from child to child when they are all kept inside. Make sure you go outside every day. Oh, and if you live in an area where snow is part of your season, share it with the children, as we did a few years ago when snowfall hit Kapiti! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/58e99baaf5e231a18a67e36a/1495095052556/39+FB+THS+Sensory+banquets.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces When we consider the formative years of a child's life is all about sensory download, let's be more conscious to provide environments that saturate the senses with beauty as well. Take a sensory stocktake of your place. Ask yourselves a few questions, that really get to the heart of the matter. Is it beautiful? Lets give our children beautiful sensory banquets so they too can have the same cellular memory in years to come. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/58e99bf520099ea6ebc93885/1495095064686/38+FB+THS+Let+beauty+guide+you.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces You reap what you sow!

Be prepared, in head, hand and heart. The children get the gift of presence when we are prepared. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/58e99c3c2994ca304a8dcceb/1495095089839/36+FB+THS+The+best+play+memories.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces What is calling the children when they arrive at your place? At The Nest most children don’t even make it inside.

Ideally they have nurtured and cared for the plants and watched them grow, sometimes from as little as seeds. In a time where people are expecting instant gratification, harvesting gives children the experience of satisfaction that comes from caring for something over time. Caring, kindness and compassion are the biggest harvest in our garden! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/58e99ca617bffc10a33c7fb4/1495095113653/34+FB+THS+Read+the+book.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces Maria Montessori, Emmi Pikler, Rudolph Steiner, read the books, learn from the ‘giants’ you admire in each field, but have the confidence to question what it is our children are experiencing and exposed to.

Instead meet the needs of here and now. Laying foundations, the cement has to dry before we can race ahead to the next stage. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/58eb32ef197aea9c402c2b54/1495094747535/65+FB+THS+Pause+and+Just+be.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces If we spend all our time being busy with children, always feeling the need to “do”, or to “extend” them, then we miss the heart. Create an environment that is paced to allow time for just being with children, observing, listening and being present for what is taking place before us. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/58eb330a86e6c0b3d246f566/1495094759598/66+FB+THS+Let+what+you+say+and+do+and+think.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces Teaching is a qualification from the HEART. Children need teachers who concentrate as much on WHO they are as WHAT they do.

What is the pace of childhood at your centre? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/58eb332ce6f2e1dfce6316c7/1495094694726/68+FB+THS+Childhood+can+only+be+magical.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces Kindness is critical when working with children. They may forget what they did but they will never forget 'how' they were treated. Kindness is a direct 'deposit' into the child’s 'heart account'. Kindness honours the spirit of the child. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/58eb333d29687f93404d5ccd/1495094679776/69+FB+THS+Step+outside+the+norm.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces As children absorb the world around them, the values they are surrounded by are absorbed too, and are built into a part of who each child is. Values need to be more than just beliefs. They need to be put into action. Our strength lies in our ability to not be just one thing, but to have a strong living identity that is anchored in the hearts of all of us. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/58eb334a9f74563722190c2d/1495094664913/70+FB+THS+When+the+adult+is+prepared.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces Children download what they see and hear.

When a child experiences satisfaction and pleasure through LOVE and CARE then the imprint will indeed be one of the heart. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/58eb337e5016e13683067de5/1495094617122/73+FB+THS+Let+them+lead.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces What is the pace of childhood at your centre? Do you offer children a safe haven from unnecessary speed - a peaceful oasis? Stop rushing children and watch how beautifully they blossom when allowed to unfurl at their own pace.

Will you be that person to be there for them? Will you meet them in the heart? Will you go down on your knees for them? Literally! When you go through your knees and open your hands, with full attention, you are not only opening your hands, you are opening your heart. And something magical happens. The invitation your hands send to the child is also an invitation to yourself. The moment you open your hands is the moment you open your heart. And that is the best place to reside in, for anyone, child and adult. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/58eb33a3d2b8576a9db0fc3f/1495094581261/75+FB+THS+Be+a+team+and+create+a+buzz.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces For all our individuality and personal strengths, most of us are above all a team. A collective rev up is always going to be more powerful than when we focus solely on ourselves. It is a less lonely journey too, when we travel it together. It is not an either/or scenario. We can be both strong individuals AND a strong team. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/591996fb725e254491683bc8/1495094536662/77+FB+THS+Our+role+is+to+raise+the+invisible.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces What is truly best for children?

The only thing you need to do is to slow down and “just notice”, to be aware, to be open to what is happening right here in front of you. Notice the sparrow taking a bath in the puddle, the raindrops on the petals. Slow down and notice! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/5919973ed2b857e0cc1e1a95/1495094519951/78+FB+THS+Be+prepared+in+head%2C+heart+and+hand.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces It is the child's right to be treated in a loving and caring way each time we share in the loving connection through the vehicle of the CARE. The love and care that is given in and through the CARE is like the GLUE that connects the relationship. All who enter a space where 'full attention' has gone into the CARE of the environment will be touched in their heart and their soul will feel PEACE. Children deserve teachers who are fully prepared head heart and hands. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/59199796e6f2e16ac85e2a6d/1495094463255/81+Boredom+is+an+opportunity.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces In a WELL PREPARED environment the children will engage with ideas and with each other, create, and dream over the course of the day. There comes a time of restlessness, but if we wait, we observe and then we notice something magical - the children resettle themselves and with their renewed vitality often show even more imagination, purpose and playfulness than before. Children don't need us to jump in and organise them, or 'rescue' them in case they 'get bored'. Being unsure of what to do next is not a crisis - it's an opportunity! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/591997943a0411c102571b86/1495094488600/80+FB+THS+There+is+beauty+in+simplicity.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces There is a mistaken belief that young children only respond to busy, cluttered, colour filled, and so called 'stimulating' environments, yet what do we want for our children? For them to overwhelmed and chaotic, or calm and content? Children need emotional safety in order to successfully engage in learning. Safety includes safety from overstimulation. Richness and nourishment for the soul doesn't come from having lots of stuff around, but from select, carefully chosen items of beauty. As Leonardo da Vinci said, "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication"! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/59d1cccbf09ca40ca9096046/1506922777901/82+FB+THS+Let+them+play.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces Calmness is an important part of being peaceful. Calmness is nurtured through a harmonious and beautiful environment based on the principles of freedom of choice, respect for ourselves, others and the environment, and cooperation. Give your children full attention in an outdoor environment where they are able to move freely, and where they can engage in activities for unlimited time without being hurried to move on to the next activity. Don’t be an obstacle between the child and their experience. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/59d1cceee45a7c855f79df1b/1506922797079/83+FB+THS+Make+your+meeting+a+meeting+place+for+the+head+and+the+heart.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces Meetings!

Does your meeting enrich your whole team? Staff meetings can be so much more than a gathering to ‘tick things of’. They can be a treasure trove for PD. When we consciously choose to spice up our regular staff meetings, we are avoiding the mindset of a once a year ‘retreat’ PD day. We are putting inspiration, interest and bonding into our regular practice which will benefit everyone! Looking for inspiration and ideas?

Nature provides many aspects of beauty and aesthetics, if not physical, it is emotional or spiritual, making it a perfect setting. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/59d1cd0e80bd5e373513a932/1506922837346/85+Who+is+the+heart+of+the+matter%3F.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces Do you put relationships above all else? The relationship is the most important 'thing' - the relationship between children, between adults and children, and between the child and nature. The relationship is ALL. Children instinctively cherish these non-things. They know in their heart of hearts what is important, and what brings the most joy, even in this consumer society of ours. The best things in life aren’t things. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/59d1cd13e45a7c855f79dff0/1506922854868/86+Have+faith+in+the+child.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces It is time that we use the child's own biology as the compass for 'how' we provide the richest of learning. Have FAITH in the child, and respect their innate wisdom. The path they are on comes from within. We are here to support, remove obstacles, sometimes suggest, but not to lead, direct or dictate. If we tried to set the path we would miss what is essential to that child. Magda Gerber phrased it beautifully when she said, "be careful what you teach, it might interfere with what they are learning". https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/59d1cd2b197aea559634c068/1506922869929/87+FB+THS+Let+them+drive+their+learning.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces Children do not want us to serve them, they want us to show them how they can do something for themselves. They need to make their own discoveries in learning. Deep satisfaction does not come from watching someone else complete a job for you! Satisfaction comes from repeated attempts, personal growth and eventual mastery. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/59d1cd35197aea559634c099/1506922908886/88+FB+THS+What+do+you+want+your+environment+to+feel+and+say%3F.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces If we place real value on the little touches, the small things that make a big difference, we speak to the heart of the child. Have all your spaces, indoors and outdoor focus on natural materials, simplicity and beautiful details. These elements allow the child to absorb the beauty and want to protect and maintain it. The beauty brings a calmness to the children's movements and activities. We want our environment to say to the children - this is a place of beauty. Look how carefully it has been prepared for you. You can blossom here! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/59d1cd4932601e11ca6cb93d/1506922952196/89+Stop+the+rescue.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces Do your children face struggle in their activities? Struggle is not the same as suffering. Struggle is an appropriate level of challenge, and non interference from adults while the child tries to manage and to solve their own problems. The child gets far more satisfaction from overcoming difficulty and having an "oh, I can do it" moment, than from being rescued. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/59d1cd50f09ca40ca909639a/1506923071944/90+FB+THS+Is+your+outdoor+space.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces In a beautiful natural outdoor environment children will have access to a multi-sensory banquet where they can choose from a smorgasbord of offerings. They can use all of their senses to explore and to see beyond what is just on the surface. When a beautiful outdoor setting is both a familiar partof their environment and yet ever changing it will be the perfect place to be a child, to create, to imagine and to dream. It will be a child’s space. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/59d1cd6532601e11ca6cb9ce/1506923089151/91+FB+THS+Who+is+in+charge+of+their+imagination%3F.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces Adults often believe that what children need most is novelty. Yet the familiar actually offers the chance for the child to explore and provide their own novel ideas by asking the important question of "what else could I do with this"? Are your materials a stable presence, are they available to the children, day in and day out? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/59d1cd774c0dbf757961c022/1506923107346/92+FB+THS+Two+people+crucial+to+the+relationship.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces Children can only be really settled in themselves if their emotional needs for connection and safety are met. Heart deposits are made whenever children are met with kindness from caring adults. Children’s memories will fade over time, and they may not recall their specific interactions and activities, the impressions of kindness, trust and care will remain at the deepest level. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/59d1cd808a02c7512b05770a/1506923117390/93+FB+THS+Stillness+grows+the+soul.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces How does a child find their own sense of peace within an environment filled with children, adults and activities?

People often think children are uncomfortable with silence, but when given the opportunity, children really enjoy being still and calm. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/59d1cf1d51a584ee611c5b50/1506923139092/95+FB+THS+Living+the+values.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces “Make a conscious decision to put LOVE behind everything you say and do.” - Pooja Ruprell. How intentional is your environment? Do you actively and consciously decide to live your core values, so your children absorb these into their very being? When the adults in the environment model care and love this becomes natural to the children and they too express these values in their activities. Gentleness, respect, tender care - these all become a part of the programme, and a part of the child when we choose to always live out these values. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/59d1cf1d0abd041b0251ce58/1506923128340/94+FB+THS+Joys+of+life.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces There is nothing as magical as seeing a child engrossed in observing one of nature’s miracles. To young children nothing is ordinary, and young hearts are filled with the joys of life’s simple pleasures. Our children have a lot to teach us about being present, being observant and taking nothing for granted! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/59d1cf38bebafbd72507b5e4/1506923150834/96+FB+THS+Less+is+more.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces There is such beauty in simplicity. Simplicity plays an important role in the child’s environment. Their response to simplicity is often expressed in the way they draw, create, play and design their own aspects of the environment. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/59d1cf3f03596e6dea31c9bc/1506923158893/97+FB+THS+Magical+childhood.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces Young children are blessed with a natural curiosity for the world around them. They explore with all their senses, ask questions and observe. They look for connections and relationships between what they already know and what they are discovering for the first time. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/59d1cf564c326dd2b35e89f2/1506923169459/98+FB+THS+What+is+in+your+rolemodel+kit%3F.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces One of the greatest roles we have when we spend our days with young children is to be a role model. Far more than what we say, they absorb who we are and what we do. They notice the small details in our interactions, and even whether what we say and do is in coherence. They want to be like us, and so we have to ensure that we are worthy of being imitated. We have to do the things we expect of them. Kindness, calmness, presence - these are the essentials in our role model kit. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/59d1cfb0a9db094fd5195b9a/1506923178346/99+FB+THS+Use+the+senses.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces Authentic experiences are the cornerstone of our programme.

It is not about what we DO, but about who and how we ARE when we are with the children. You may remember one of those teachers who shared their passion and joy and who gave you a gift you have enjoyed your whole life. Be one of them! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/59d1cfcaf9a61e37e8a80f21/1514539672234/101+FB+THS+Put+your+energy+in+preparing.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces If you have faith in your environment you can have faith in your children! We really can't say it enough. Have faith. Trust. Children know what they need. They can, and they will, learn.

Are there opportunities for them to find out who they are, what they like, and what they don't? Will they learn that we are all different? Making decisions, freely choosing and having uninterrupted time allows children to truly discover and follow their passions. They can find out what makes their soul happy, and then do that - as often as they want. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/5a460b39652dead1f90979c3/1514542128224/109+FB+THS+Offer+them+ove+and+offer+them+life.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces The very best thing you can do for your children is offer them love and offer them life. Offer children unconditional and FELT love, the kind that a child does not have to earn or second guess. Our children are very adept at noticing when our attention is elsewhere. Tune in to the child fully, model to them the importance of respect and attention in relationships, and they will go on to be adults who focus and tune into others as a natural way of being. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/5a460beb71c10be68a3da49c/1514542097236/107+FB+THS+Who%27s+in+the+driver%27s+seat%3F.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces Children know what they need in order to develop. Their learning and development comes from their own inner drive. Looking around your environment. Do you see children carrying out an activity because they think this is what Mum and Dad or a teacher wants, or because they have chosen it from their own intrinsic, heart felt need? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/5a460bed0d92977948ee50e8/1514542083948/106+FB+THS+See+the+world+through+their+eyes.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces A child’s sense of wonder and curiosity are more keenly piqued from their own explorations and questions than from being shown where and what to look at by adults. Out in nature, we must take our lead from the child. They need to make their own discoveries, and their own decisions about what is extraordinary. We can observe, share in the joy, and give our attention, but we don't set the agenda. The beauty of this approach is that the child’s wonder at nature’s miracles rekindles our own and helps us see the world through their eyes! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/5a460c91ec212de0628e1e20/1514542056634/104+FB+THS+Let+me+be+who+I+am.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces The beauty of a quality programme is in the complete respect for the individuality of each child. There is a recognition of universal characteristics among children, but our role is to observe and learn about who each child is. The details in each child are fascinating: What makes their eyes light up? What brings them comfort? Who are they drawn to? What tickles their sense of humour? How do they choose to express themselves? We can only know these things in an environment of freedom, where the child is free to develop as nature intended and fully allow their miraculous self to emerge. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/5a460c7f9140b7fa15f079c8/1514542069427/105+FB+THS++Seek+to+know+the+child.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces We have to care for children enough that we cast aside our own preconceived ideas, egos and adult agendas so we can 'follow the child'. The essential task of the teacher is to observe. Only when we observe and seek to know each child can we truly follow them. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/5a460ccc8165f559033a56a8/1514542023773/102+FB+THS+Every+brainwave.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces Children are natural inventors, designers and creators.

Happiness and pure joy. Children live in the moment with an unsaturated zest for life. It is important we give them the freedom, to unfold in their own time, in their own space, following nature’s plan. Who are you?

There is a recognition of universal characteristics among children, but our role as heart-centred teacher is to observe and learn about who each child is.

What we may think of as ordinary is actually extraordinary to them. Children notice so much in their surroundings when given time and the freedom to do so. Celebrating the ordinary makes it extra-ordinary. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/5c5b8021e2c483b17bf5e042/1549508840684/120+Need+to+thrive%3F.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces “A loving heart is the beginning of all knowledge” - Thomas Carlyle Respond to children with empathy. Keep in your hearts what it must be like to be this child in this moment. Remember back to how it felt for us to be children. How did we like to be treated? What fostered connection in us? What built us up, made us feel capable, and told us that we were loved regardless of any mistakes we made on our journey? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/5c5b8021c83025da569ec509/1549508815521/119+Hold+your+tongue.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces “For things to reveal themselves to us, we need to be ready to abandon our views about them. “ - Thich Nhat Hanh One of the key roles of the teacher is to protect the child’s bubble. We observe to see when children are deeply engaged, and ensure they are not disturbed. We also know interruptions can come from adults, so we slow down our movements, hold our tongues, and watch without comment. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/5c5b805e0d9297a1746fe800/1549508858577/121+Model+your+core+values.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces “Make a conscious decision to put love behind everything you say and do” - Pooja Ruprell A heart-centred and prepared environment is an intentional environment. We actively and consciously decide to live our core values, and our children absorb these into their very being. When the adults in the environment model care and love this becomes natural to the children and they too express these values in their activities. Gentleness, respect, tender care - these all become a part of the programme, and a part of the child when we choose to always live out these values. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/5c5b805eeef1a1953a5e91cc/1549508878656/122++Fixing.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces “Empathy is really important. Only when our clever brain and our human heart work together in harmony can we achieve our true potential.” - Jane Goodall A wonderful thing happens when adults don’t take on the role of “fixers”. Children are able to step up and take responsibility for the well being of others. They learn to offer comfort, support and solutions. In an environment where kindness is the norm a teacher is not needed to solve every single scenario. Other children are ready to move in. The children can find comfort in knowing that there are so many people to help them should they need it, and can feel empowered to also take on the role of the “helper”. Independence is nurtured but a sense of interdependence is just as important. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/5c5b808efa0d606d7976703c/1549508899939/123+Step+back+and+explore.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces “The important thing is not stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.” - Albert Einstein When children learn that adults are not the only reference tool available - they become more curious, independent, resourceful and eager to explore their world! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/5c5b809ba4222f08b49bf8b7/1549508915191/124+Awe+inspiring.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces “Life is a miracle, handle it with care” - Caroline Naoroji Authentic experience at its finest! There is nothing like new life to inspire wonder in our children and touch their hearts.

This focus on real materials and activities does not mean “not allowing” creativity and imagination. What we mean is that through reality, children develop a strong sensorial grounding which allows their imagination to truly blossom. We know that fantasy is not the only thing to inspire wonder in children - there is so much to marvel at that is real! Real life is indeed fascinating for children if we allow them to be totally involved in it! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/5c5b80f153450aa0aa3b60f0/1549508951282/126+Together.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces “Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much” - Helen Keller A heart centred place provides children with plenty of opportunities for relationships and togetherness, as well as the opportunities to be free from interruption if they choose to engage deeply in their play. So often it is assumed that young children should always be social, but actually, time alone to be yourself or to recharge is something very valuable. We want children to know that they can be ‘with’ themselves, instead of just ‘by themselves’ . We can then celebrate the friendships as something authentic, chosen by the children out of desire, not some sense of having to always be ‘with someone’. Most importantly, our children know that friendships can sustain even when you have time apart - such an important thing to learn! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/5c5b8111e79c70a854fce124/1549508983894/127+A+garden+grows+children.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces “Never be within doors when you can rightly be without” - Charlotte Mason Children instinctively know that being outdoors is good for the soul. A free flow to a beautiful garden provides wonderful opportunities for exploring, learning, playing, working, dreaming, and being. Children receive their daily dose of Vitamin N regardless of the weather. Sun, cloud, rain, hail, wind, they experience it all and enjoy it all. We’ve said it before and we will keep on saying it - a garden doesn’t just grow plants, it also grows children! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/5c5b813ee2c483b17bf5ee8b/1549508996381/128+How+happy+are+your+faces%3F.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces “Be so happy that when others look at you they become happy too!” Happiness. It flows naturally out of children who feel secure and have the freedom to grow and explore in an environment designed especially for them. Spontaneous joy is always something to celebrate, and laughter and happiness shared with others is just magical. Joyful children light up the place, and warm the heart. How can we look at these faces and not feel happy too? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/5c5b814d15fcc0cc3924c509/1549509011617/129+Come+closer+and+see+me.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces “Can words describe the fragrance of the very breath of Spring?” - Neltje Blanchan Children are as attuned to the beauty of a garden as we are. The beautiful flowers are calling to them, whispering, “come closer, come and really see me”, and the children happily oblige. Just seeing is never enough for a child - they smell, feel, get as close as they can, and truly appreciate nature in all it’s glory! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/5c5b817a71c10bf022bcb7b0/1549509027538/130+Risk+equals+growth.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces “Be brave. Take risks. Nothing substitutes experience.” - Paolo Coelho Children need risk, and they need to learn through experience. They need to be able to challenge themselves and decide what risks they are comfortable taking. If we show children we trust them, they are very capable risk assessors. They tend to know what they can and can't do and being able to put this into action validates this for them. You learn to climb by climbing. You learn to take risks by taking them. Risk for children is often seen as synonymous with broken bones and catastrophe, but let's see it differently. Let's see it as synonymous with growth, capability and empowerment! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/5c5b8199eb393140dc7791f6/1549509044889/131+Does+your+garden+nurture+hearts%3F.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces “In todays rush we all think too much, seek too much, want too much and forget about the joy of being” - Eckhart Tolle This photo speaks volumes about the joy found in slowness and putting all of our attention into something. This child is not hastily watering to 'get a job done', he is completely present in his task and focused on being rather than just doing. People often think that haste is a child's natural pace but, in fact, children appreciate the time and space to be unhurried. Outdoors provides wonderful opportunities for 'slow'. A garden where children are actively engaged in doesn’t just nurture flowers, it also nurtures hearts! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/5c5b81bc1905f47e33a09a51/1549509060136/132+Beauty+grows+the+soul.jpg Inspiration Heart spaces “The only lasting beauty is the beauty of the heart” - Rumi It is not our words that are important for children - they learn from their environment, from who we are and what they see us do.

children are the greatest of all explorers. They look at things differently then we do, they see things through a different window, they hear things we don't hear, they touch, smell and taste things we do not. Children discover the world with their whole heart, their busy minds and their active hands. And they do it all "up close and personal". Join them, you will be amazed at what you discover! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/58e998c2c534a5cb83626148/1495094802964/56+FB+THS+All+in+a+days+work.jpg Heart spaces Happiness for your child is giving them experiences that will enrich their lives, create long lasting memories and cultivate wisdom. Experiences with the natural world, inside and outside, is an essential part of children's holistic development. The natural world is a means through which children find well-being and happiness, as well as physical, intellectual, spiritual and emotional stimulation. There are infinite treasures in a natural garden. Joy and happiness are abundant, wisdom is nurtured, friendships are formed and memories are created. All in a day's work! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/58e9990a3a0411706ad958ac/1495094838642/54+FB+THSWhat+is+left%3F.jpg Heart spaces For a moment think about how many authentic interactions you experience in a day? Get back to the basics of it, to the process, not the product. So many things are covered up with unneeded bells and whistles, including our relationships and interactions with the young children in our care. Too much stimulation, too much "stuff". Take all that away, and ask yourself what is left? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/58e9995ee6f2e1dfce00711e/1495094850090/53+FB+THS+Inner+peace.jpg Heart spaces Deepak Chopra says it so beautiful. “To make the right choices in life you have to get in touch with your soul. To do this, you need to experience solitude, ...” Where do your children go for some solitude? Have you created a familiar and homely place where they go to smell the flowers, to watch the bumblebees, to look for worms, and to listen to the birds? A place they trust, but also a place where they trust others in it? A place they know they will find stillness and be respected? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/58e999601b10e3a416c19554/1495094861721/52+FB+THS+Make+your+garden+a+community+place.jpg Heart spaces Are you wondering on how to engage your parents as they are rushing in and out of the door? Create a garden! We have noticed how often the children take their parents on a tour, proudly showing them where the best place is to find worms, marvel at the strawberries that are ready to be picked, or looking at the cocoon that is about to hatch. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/58e999a4f7e0ab8357828d85/1495094880507/51+FB+THS+A+caring+person.jpg Heart spaces Animals bring a unique dimension to your place. Caring for animalsfosters a sense of responsibility and compassion. It encourages a respect and reverence for life and other living beings. At The Nest we have a cat. The children have learned to walk around Sassy, to not chase her around and never pull her tail, attitudes that foster a sense of inner discipline and empowerment. They feed and give her water, and gently move her away when she is in the way. They have developed a communal sense of responsibility that comes with taking care of an animal like Sassy. But caring for animals in an early childhood centre should not be taken lightly. Animals do need special care and attention, more than the ‘pet in a cage’ approach. Done well, keeping animals can be a most rewarding addition. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/58e999be2e69cf277298e520/1495094892630/50+FB+THS+Soulless+or+soulfull.jpg Heart spaces The combination of compliance and regulations, and the new health and safety law has the danger of creating “soulless” outdoor spaces with low maintenance environments, plastic toys and meaningless equipment. During early childhood the brain is shaped by our daily experiences, necessary for growth. If we create environments that are not over regulated by adult rules and societal priorities, but environments where children learn to manage dangers and risks, and where they can have those lifeshaping experiences, children will not only shape their brain, but also their soul. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/58e999e9f5e231a18a67712d/1495094905019/49+FB+THS+Living+space.jpg Heart spaces Education and learning is inextricably interwoven into life. Pottering around, giving the space a homely feel is what makes a space alive and non clinical. We know from experience that the children's view to caring and loving their place rises if they are able to absorb life unfolding around them as they potter and tinker in their play. And remember, sometimes less is more! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/58e99a3c2e69cf27729903b1/1495094923330/48+FB+THS+Joy+in+the+ordinary.jpg Heart spaces Children in full time care need to be experiencing real life, not artificial activities that are disconnected to life. They need to be able to absorb life unfolding around them as they freely potter and tinker in their play. They need to be able to experience the ordinary with joy, as it is then it becomes extra-ordinary. Seeing the magic in every day moments is the key of ‘being’ a heart centred teacher. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/58e99a4620099ea6ebc8cc49/1495094936939/47+FB+THS+Make+beauty+the+norm.jpg Heart spaces Is your place beautiful but simple, 'carefully' and thoughtfully created? A space where the child's own imagination gets to put life to the passive things? A space that is inviting? Spaces that are prepared with beauty in mind are spaces where we can feel a whole different energy within us. We know someone has prepared this with their head, heart and hands! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/58e99ab18419c2d993a11e3b/1495094967081/45+FB+THS+Wondering.jpg Heart spaces Modeling joy and gratitude is one of the greatest gifts we can give our children. Take time to wander and wonder! Be joyful. Slow down, laugh, show excitement over a awesome looking cloud in the sky instead of a silly picture on a phone. Don’t judge, just notice, be in-joy with the natural gifts of life. Looking at life with a sense of awe and wonder will bring joy not only in the children’s life, but your life too! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/58e99aa1893fc0148f919aa4/1495094950582/46+FB+THS+At+home.jpg Heart spaces We know that an environment speaks volumes. If we were to put into words exactly what we want the children to hear it would be, "you are so welcome here, this is your place, it belongs to you. We know you can find true happiness here and we know that you'll thrive. Come in and make yourself at home"! It is our role as teachers to provide a place where children feel totally 'at home'. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/58e99b0720099ea6ebc8fc63/1495094991509/43+FB+THS+Children+feel+the+result.jpg Heart spaces Children need to be enveloped by love and care and sense that they are safe and can unfold naturally and confidently. Ask yourselves a few questions about your environment. Take a sensory stocktake of your place. As you create beauty you restore your own soul at the same time. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/58e99af1893fc0148f91adca/1495094977354/44+FB+THS+A+rich+banquet.jpg Heart spaces Does your environment offer children a daily diet of real and natural experiences? Do your children bake bread? Gather eggs from the chooks? Harvest veggies? Pick apples? Feed the animals? Water the plants? Do they arrange flowers? Rake the sand? What DO your children do? And what do YOU do? Are there things you do the children could do? Outdoors in a garden or indoors in a homely, safe space? Take a stock take of what you do and what the children (can) do. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/58e99b4e20099ea6ebc90f69/1495095009470/42+FB+THS+Only+authentic+experiences.jpg Heart spaces An education of the heart does not come from a reset or restart at the push of a button, it comes from nature! Only authentic experiences can truly touch the heart. Watching a chick hatch on animal planet is entertaining. Watching, seeing, touching, hearing and smelling a chick hatch in real life is pure magic! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/58e99b5c1e5b6c098b2440e5/1495095022069/41+FB+THS+Create+an+environment+charged+with+atmosfair.jpg Heart spaces One cannot deny the power of the vibe and how places can vibrate with either good or bad energy. Put energy into the unseen environment. The difference between FEAR or FAIRNESS in an environment: one we feel we belong and are connected the other we feel alone and disconnected. Children must be in environments where the energy is charged with FAIR, atmos-fair, not FEAR, atmos-FEAR. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/58e99ba0440243b385c927e5/1495095042092/40+FB+THS+Weather+is+irrelevant.jpg Heart spaces Children don't seem to feel the cold as we, adults do. While they do need to be wrapped up warmly with suitable clothes that will keep them dry, here in New Zealand, they should be able to play outside in all temperatures. It is a myth that children catch a cold by being out in the cold -only catching a virus causes colds. Actually being outside might protect them from colds, as the viruses are more likely to pass from child to child when they are all kept inside. Make sure you go outside every day. Oh, and if you live in an area where snow is part of your season, share it with the children, as we did a few years ago when snowfall hit Kapiti! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/58e99baaf5e231a18a67e36a/1495095052556/39+FB+THS+Sensory+banquets.jpg Heart spaces When we consider the formative years of a child's life is all about sensory download, let's be more conscious to provide environments that saturate the senses with beauty as well. Take a sensory stocktake of your place. Ask yourselves a few questions, that really get to the heart of the matter. Is it beautiful? Lets give our children beautiful sensory banquets so they too can have the same cellular memory in years to come. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/58e99bf520099ea6ebc93885/1495095064686/38+FB+THS+Let+beauty+guide+you.jpg Heart spaces You reap what you sow!

Ideally they have nurtured and cared for the plants and watched them grow, sometimes from as little as seeds. In a time where people are expecting instant gratification, harvesting gives children the experience of satisfaction that comes from caring for something over time. Caring, kindness and compassion are the biggest harvest in our garden! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/58e99ca617bffc10a33c7fb4/1495095113653/34+FB+THS+Read+the+book.jpg Heart spaces Maria Montessori, Emmi Pikler, Rudolph Steiner, read the books, learn from the ‘giants’ you admire in each field, but have the confidence to question what it is our children are experiencing and exposed to.

When a child experiences satisfaction and pleasure through LOVE and CARE then the imprint will indeed be one of the heart. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/58eb337e5016e13683067de5/1495094617122/73+FB+THS+Let+them+lead.jpg Heart spaces What is the pace of childhood at your centre? Do you offer children a safe haven from unnecessary speed - a peaceful oasis? Stop rushing children and watch how beautifully they blossom when allowed to unfurl at their own pace.

Will you be that person to be there for them? Will you meet them in the heart? Will you go down on your knees for them? Literally! When you go through your knees and open your hands, with full attention, you are not only opening your hands, you are opening your heart. And something magical happens. The invitation your hands send to the child is also an invitation to yourself. The moment you open your hands is the moment you open your heart. And that is the best place to reside in, for anyone, child and adult. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/58eb33a3d2b8576a9db0fc3f/1495094581261/75+FB+THS+Be+a+team+and+create+a+buzz.jpg Heart spaces For all our individuality and personal strengths, most of us are above all a team. A collective rev up is always going to be more powerful than when we focus solely on ourselves. It is a less lonely journey too, when we travel it together. It is not an either/or scenario. We can be both strong individuals AND a strong team. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/591996fb725e254491683bc8/1495094536662/77+FB+THS+Our+role+is+to+raise+the+invisible.jpg Heart spaces What is truly best for children?

It is just as important to create a wonderful place for teachers! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/5919974da5790ae3f68d2ddb/1495094502141/79+FB+THS+You+don%27t+need+a+science+degree.jpg Heart spaces You do not need to have a degree in science to connect with nature! The only thing you need to do is to slow down and “just notice”, to be aware, to be open to what is happening right here in front of you. Notice the sparrow taking a bath in the puddle, the raindrops on the petals. Slow down and notice! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/5919973ed2b857e0cc1e1a95/1495094519951/78+FB+THS+Be+prepared+in+head%2C+heart+and+hand.jpg Heart spaces It is the child's right to be treated in a loving and caring way each time we share in the loving connection through the vehicle of the CARE. The love and care that is given in and through the CARE is like the GLUE that connects the relationship. All who enter a space where 'full attention' has gone into the CARE of the environment will be touched in their heart and their soul will feel PEACE. Children deserve teachers who are fully prepared head heart and hands. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/59199796e6f2e16ac85e2a6d/1495094463255/81+Boredom+is+an+opportunity.jpg Heart spaces In a WELL PREPARED environment the children will engage with ideas and with each other, create, and dream over the course of the day. There comes a time of restlessness, but if we wait, we observe and then we notice something magical - the children resettle themselves and with their renewed vitality often show even more imagination, purpose and playfulness than before. Children don't need us to jump in and organise them, or 'rescue' them in case they 'get bored'. Being unsure of what to do next is not a crisis - it's an opportunity! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/591997943a0411c102571b86/1495094488600/80+FB+THS+There+is+beauty+in+simplicity.jpg Heart spaces There is a mistaken belief that young children only respond to busy, cluttered, colour filled, and so called 'stimulating' environments, yet what do we want for our children? For them to overwhelmed and chaotic, or calm and content? Children need emotional safety in order to successfully engage in learning. Safety includes safety from overstimulation. Richness and nourishment for the soul doesn't come from having lots of stuff around, but from select, carefully chosen items of beauty. As Leonardo da Vinci said, "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication"! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/59d1cccbf09ca40ca9096046/1506922777901/82+FB+THS+Let+them+play.jpg Heart spaces Calmness is an important part of being peaceful. Calmness is nurtured through a harmonious and beautiful environment based on the principles of freedom of choice, respect for ourselves, others and the environment, and cooperation. Give your children full attention in an outdoor environment where they are able to move freely, and where they can engage in activities for unlimited time without being hurried to move on to the next activity. Don’t be an obstacle between the child and their experience. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/59d1cceee45a7c855f79df1b/1506922797079/83+FB+THS+Make+your+meeting+a+meeting+place+for+the+head+and+the+heart.jpg Heart spaces Meetings! We all have them. What are yours like? Do you feel inspired after your meeting? Do you look forward to your meeting? Do you have a voice at your meeting? Is your meeting a place to grow? Does your meeting enrich your whole team? Staff meetings can be so much more than a gathering to ‘tick things of’. They can be a treasure trove for PD. When we consciously choose to spice up our regular staff meetings, we are avoiding the mindset of a once a year ‘retreat’ PD day. We are putting inspiration, interest and bonding into our regular practice which will benefit everyone! Looking for inspiration and ideas?

Nature provides many aspects of beauty and aesthetics, if not physical, it is emotional or spiritual, making it a perfect setting. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/59d1cd0e80bd5e373513a932/1506922837346/85+Who+is+the+heart+of+the+matter%3F.jpg Heart spaces Do you put relationships above all else? The relationship is the most important 'thing' - the relationship between children, between adults and children, and between the child and nature. The relationship is ALL. Children instinctively cherish these non-things. They know in their heart of hearts what is important, and what brings the most joy, even in this consumer society of ours. The best things in life aren’t things. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/59d1cd13e45a7c855f79dff0/1506922854868/86+Have+faith+in+the+child.jpg Heart spaces It is time that we use the child's own biology as the compass for 'how' we provide the richest of learning. Have FAITH in the child, and respect their innate wisdom. The path they are on comes from within. We are here to support, remove obstacles, sometimes suggest, but not to lead, direct or dictate. If we tried to set the path we would miss what is essential to that child. Magda Gerber phrased it beautifully when she said, "be careful what you teach, it might interfere with what they are learning". https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/59d1cd2b197aea559634c068/1506922869929/87+FB+THS+Let+them+drive+their+learning.jpg Heart spaces Children do not want us to serve them, they want us to show them how they can do something for themselves. They need to make their own discoveries in learning. Deep satisfaction does not come from watching someone else complete a job for you! Satisfaction comes from repeated attempts, personal growth and eventual mastery. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/59d1cd35197aea559634c099/1506922908886/88+FB+THS+What+do+you+want+your+environment+to+feel+and+say%3F.jpg Heart spaces If we place real value on the little touches, the small things that make a big difference, we speak to the heart of the child. Have all your spaces, indoors and outdoor focus on natural materials, simplicity and beautiful details. These elements allow the child to absorb the beauty and want to protect and maintain it. The beauty brings a calmness to the children's movements and activities. We want our environment to say to the children - this is a place of beauty. Look how carefully it has been prepared for you. You can blossom here! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/59d1cd4932601e11ca6cb93d/1506922952196/89+Stop+the+rescue.jpg Heart spaces Do your children face struggle in their activities? Struggle is not the same as suffering. Struggle is an appropriate level of challenge, and non interference from adults while the child tries to manage and to solve their own problems. The child gets far more satisfaction from overcoming difficulty and having an "oh, I can do it" moment, than from being rescued. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/59d1cd50f09ca40ca909639a/1506923071944/90+FB+THS+Is+your+outdoor+space.jpg Heart spaces In a beautiful natural outdoor environment children will have access to a multi-sensory banquet where they can choose from a smorgasbord of offerings. They can use all of their senses to explore and to see beyond what is just on the surface. When a beautiful outdoor setting is both a familiar partof their environment and yet ever changing it will be the perfect place to be a child, to create, to imagine and to dream. It will be a child’s space. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/59d1cd6532601e11ca6cb9ce/1506923089151/91+FB+THS+Who+is+in+charge+of+their+imagination%3F.jpg Heart spaces Adults often believe that what children need most is novelty. Yet the familiar actually offers the chance for the child to explore and provide their own novel ideas by asking the important question of "what else could I do with this"? Are your materials a stable presence, are they available to the children, day in and day out? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/59d1cd774c0dbf757961c022/1506923107346/92+FB+THS+Two+people+crucial+to+the+relationship.jpg Heart spaces Children can only be really settled in themselves if their emotional needs for connection and safety are met. Heart deposits are made whenever children are met with kindness from caring adults. Children’s memories will fade over time, and they may not recall their specific interactions and activities, the impressions of kindness, trust and care will remain at the deepest level. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/59d1cd808a02c7512b05770a/1506923117390/93+FB+THS+Stillness+grows+the+soul.jpg Heart spaces How does a child find their own sense of peace within an environment filled with children, adults and activities? Do you provide opportunities for stillness? People often think children are uncomfortable with silence, but when given the opportunity, children really enjoy being still and calm. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/59d1cf1d51a584ee611c5b50/1506923139092/95+FB+THS+Living+the+values.jpg Heart spaces “Make a conscious decision to put LOVE behind everything you say and do.” - Pooja Ruprell. How intentional is your environment? Do you actively and consciously decide to live your core values, so your children absorb these into their very being? When the adults in the environment model care and love this becomes natural to the children and they too express these values in their activities. Gentleness, respect, tender care - these all become a part of the programme, and a part of the child when we choose to always live out these values. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/59d1cf1d0abd041b0251ce58/1506923128340/94+FB+THS+Joys+of+life.jpg Heart spaces There is nothing as magical as seeing a child engrossed in observing one of nature’s miracles. To young children nothing is ordinary, and young hearts are filled with the joys of life’s simple pleasures.

Simplicity plays an important role in the child’s environment.

Far more than what we say, they absorb who we are and what we do. They notice the small details in our interactions, and even whether what we say and do is in coherence. They want to be like us, and so we have to ensure that we are worthy of being imitated. We have to do the things we expect of them. Kindness, calmness, presence - these are the essentials in our role model kit. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/59d1cfb0a9db094fd5195b9a/1506923178346/99+FB+THS+Use+the+senses.jpg Heart spaces Authentic experiences are the cornerstone of our programme.

Are there opportunities for them to find out who they are, what they like, and what they don't? Will they learn that we are all different? Making decisions, freely choosing and having uninterrupted time allows children to truly discover and follow their passions.

Offer children unconditional and FELT love, the kind that a child does not have to earn or second guess. Our children are very adept at noticing when our attention is elsewhere. Tune in to the child fully, model to them the importance of respect and attention in relationships, and they will go on to be adults who focus and tune into others as a natural way of being. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/5a460beb71c10be68a3da49c/1514542097236/107+FB+THS+Who%27s+in+the+driver%27s+seat%3F.jpg Heart spaces Children know what they need in order to develop.

Out in nature, we must take our lead from the child. They need to make their own discoveries, and their own decisions about what is extraordinary. We can observe, share in the joy, and give our attention, but we don't set the agenda. The beauty of this approach is that the child’s wonder at nature’s miracles rekindles our own and helps us see the world through their eyes! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/5a460c91ec212de0628e1e20/1514542056634/104+FB+THS+Let+me+be+who+I+am.jpg Heart spaces The beauty of a quality programme is in the complete respect for the individuality of each child. There is a recognition of universal characteristics among children, but our role is to observe and learn about who each child is.

How do they choose to express themselves? We can only know these things in an environment of freedom, where the child is free to develop as nature intended and fully allow their miraculous self to emerge. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/5a460c7f9140b7fa15f079c8/1514542069427/105+FB+THS++Seek+to+know+the+child.jpg Heart spaces We have to care for children enough that we cast aside our own preconceived ideas, egos and adult agendas so we can 'follow the child'.

There is a recognition of universal characteristics among children, but our role as heart-centred teacher is to observe and learn about who each child is. The details in each child are fascinating: What makes their eyes light up? What brings them comfort? Who are they drawn to? What tickles their sense of humour? How do they choose to express themselves? We can only know these things in an environment of freedom, where the child is free to develop as nature intended and fully allow their miraculous self to emerge. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/5ad482ceaa4a990467248003/1549508751709/116+The+golden+rule+of+play.jpg Heart spaces “Every brainwave, idea and invention started in the playground of someones mind” - Kimberley Crisp Children are natural inventors, designers and creators. Through play they take what they know of the world, imitate and experiment. They dwell in possibility, and the best materials are those that follow play's golden rule - anything can be anything! A stick can be a thousand things! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/5ad4830b758d46ce6340ce09/1549508771566/117+Naturally+curious.jpg Heart spaces “Blessed are the curious for they shall have adventures” - Lovelle Drachman Young children are blessed with a natural curiosity for the world around them. They explore with all their senses, ask questions and observe. They look for connections and relationships between what they already know and what they are discovering for the first time. Encourage their child-led wonders and adventures - such important ingredients in a magical childhood. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/5ad4833f03ce641bc8c1b70d/1549508787618/118+Curriculum+of+life.jpg Heart spaces “The simple things are also the most extraordinary things and only the wise can see them” - Paulo Coelho Children have a natural affinity for finding joy in the every day wonders of nature. What we may think of as ordinary is actually extraordinary to them. Children notice so much in their surroundings when given time and the freedom to do so. Celebrating the ordinary makes it extra-ordinary. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/5c5b8021e2c483b17bf5e042/1549508840684/120+Need+to+thrive%3F.jpg Heart spaces “A loving heart is the beginning of all knowledge” - Thomas Carlyle Respond to children with empathy. Keep in your hearts what it must be like to be this child in this moment. Remember back to how it felt for us to be children. How did we like to be treated? What fostered connection in us? What built us up, made us feel capable, and told us that we were loved regardless of any mistakes we made on our journey? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/5c5b8021c83025da569ec509/1549508815521/119+Hold+your+tongue.jpg Heart spaces “For things to reveal themselves to us, we need to be ready to abandon our views about them. “ - Thich Nhat Hanh One of the key roles of the teacher is to protect the child’s bubble. We observe to see when children are deeply engaged, and ensure they are not disturbed. We also know interruptions can come from adults, so we slow down our movements, hold our tongues, and watch without comment. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/5c5b805e0d9297a1746fe800/1549508858577/121+Model+your+core+values.jpg Heart spaces “Make a conscious decision to put love behind everything you say and do” - Pooja Ruprell A heart-centred and prepared environment is an intentional environment. We actively and consciously decide to live our core values, and our children absorb these into their very being. When the adults in the environment model care and love this becomes natural to the children and they too express these values in their activities. Gentleness, respect, tender care - these all become a part of the programme, and a part of the child when we choose to always live out these values. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/5c5b805eeef1a1953a5e91cc/1549508878656/122++Fixing.jpg Heart spaces “Empathy is really important. Only when our clever brain and our human heart work together in harmony can we achieve our true potential.” - Jane Goodall A wonderful thing happens when adults don’t take on the role of “fixers”. Children are able to step up and take responsibility for the well being of others. They learn to offer comfort, support and solutions. In an environment where kindness is the norm a teacher is not needed to solve every single scenario. Other children are ready to move in. The children can find comfort in knowing that there are so many people to help them should they need it, and can feel empowered to also take on the role of the “helper”. Independence is nurtured but a sense of interdependence is just as important. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/5c5b808efa0d606d7976703c/1549508899939/123+Step+back+and+explore.jpg Heart spaces “The important thing is not stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.” - Albert Einstein When children learn that adults are not the only reference tool available - they become more curious, independent, resourceful and eager to explore their world! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/5c5b809ba4222f08b49bf8b7/1549508915191/124+Awe+inspiring.jpg Heart spaces “Life is a miracle, handle it with care” - Caroline Naoroji Authentic experience at its finest! There is nothing like new life to inspire wonder in our children and touch their hearts. Baby chicks in books are cute, but in real life? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/5c5b80cce2c483b17bf5e8b1/1549508930967/125+Much+to+marvel.jpg Heart spaces “An observant child should be put in the way of things worth observing” - Charlotte Mason We strongly believe that children learn to make sense of the world around through immersion in reality. This focus on real materials and activities does not mean “not allowing” creativity and imagination. What we mean is that through reality, children develop a strong sensorial grounding which allows their imagination to truly blossom. We know that fantasy is not the only thing to inspire wonder in children - there is so much to marvel at that is real! Real life is indeed fascinating for children if we allow them to be totally involved in it! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/5c5b80f153450aa0aa3b60f0/1549508951282/126+Together.jpg Heart spaces “Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much” - Helen Keller A heart centred place provides children with plenty of opportunities for relationships and togetherness, as well as the opportunities to be free from interruption if they choose to engage deeply in their play. So often it is assumed that young children should always be social, but actually, time alone to be yourself or to recharge is something very valuable. We want children to know that they can be ‘with’ themselves, instead of just ‘by themselves’ . We can then celebrate the friendships as something authentic, chosen by the children out of desire, not some sense of having to always be ‘with someone’. Most importantly, our children know that friendships can sustain even when you have time apart - such an important thing to learn! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/5c5b8111e79c70a854fce124/1549508983894/127+A+garden+grows+children.jpg Heart spaces “Never be within doors when you can rightly be without” - Charlotte Mason Children instinctively know that being outdoors is good for the soul. A free flow to a beautiful garden provides wonderful opportunities for exploring, learning, playing, working, dreaming, and being. Children receive their daily dose of Vitamin N regardless of the weather. Sun, cloud, rain, hail, wind, they experience it all and enjoy it all. We’ve said it before and we will keep on saying it - a garden doesn’t just grow plants, it also grows children! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/5c5b813ee2c483b17bf5ee8b/1549508996381/128+How+happy+are+your+faces%3F.jpg Heart spaces “Be so happy that when others look at you they become happy too!” Happiness. It flows naturally out of children who feel secure and have the freedom to grow and explore in an environment designed especially for them. Spontaneous joy is always something to celebrate, and laughter and happiness shared with others is just magical. Joyful children light up the place, and warm the heart. How can we look at these faces and not feel happy too? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/5c5b814d15fcc0cc3924c509/1549509011617/129+Come+closer+and+see+me.jpg Heart spaces “Can words describe the fragrance of the very breath of Spring?” - Neltje Blanchan Children are as attuned to the beauty of a garden as we are. The beautiful flowers are calling to them, whispering, “come closer, come and really see me”, and the children happily oblige. Just seeing is never enough for a child - they smell, feel, get as close as they can, and truly appreciate nature in all it’s glory! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/5c5b817a71c10bf022bcb7b0/1549509027538/130+Risk+equals+growth.jpg Heart spaces “Be brave. Take risks. Nothing substitutes experience.” - Paolo Coelho Children need risk, and they need to learn through experience. They need to be able to challenge themselves and decide what risks they are comfortable taking. If we show children we trust them, they are very capable risk assessors. They tend to know what they can and can't do and being able to put this into action validates this for them. You learn to climb by climbing. You learn to take risks by taking them. Risk for children is often seen as synonymous with broken bones and catastrophe, but let's see it differently. Let's see it as synonymous with growth, capability and empowerment! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/5c5b8199eb393140dc7791f6/1549509044889/131+Does+your+garden+nurture+hearts%3F.jpg Heart spaces “In todays rush we all think too much, seek too much, want too much and forget about the joy of being” - Eckhart Tolle This photo speaks volumes about the joy found in slowness and putting all of our attention into something. This child is not hastily watering to 'get a job done', he is completely present in his task and focused on being rather than just doing. People often think that haste is a child's natural pace but, in fact, children appreciate the time and space to be unhurried. Outdoors provides wonderful opportunities for 'slow'. A garden where children are actively engaged in doesn’t just nurture flowers, it also nurtures hearts! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/5c5b81bc1905f47e33a09a51/1549509060136/132+Beauty+grows+the+soul.jpg Heart spaces “The only lasting beauty is the beauty of the heart” - Rumi It is not our words that are important for children - they learn from their environment, from who we are and what they see us do. A beautiful environment naturally encourages care and respect, even without a word said. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e990501e5b6c098b21753b/5c5b81d6e5e5f02e1332fad5/1549509074464/133+Do+we+need+a+curriculum%3F.jpg Heart spaces “Children do not need to be made to learn about the world, or show how. They want to and they know how.” - John Holt For children to be life long learners we only need to provide an environment where their natural curiosity can continue to flourish. Have faith in our children, and really we can't say it enough. Have faith. Trust. They know what they need. They can, and they will, learn. They will make use of the environment we provide for them. Our job is to respect their innate wisdom. The path they are on comes from within. We are here to support, remove obstacles, sometimes suggest, but not to lead, direct or dictate. If we tried to set the path we would miss what is essential to that child. Magda Gerber phrased it beautifully when she said, "be careful what you teach, it might interfere with what they are learning". https://www.heartschool.nz/heart-moments daily 0.75 2017-04-24 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5c5b8c94e4966b048bc2f6be/1549503710071/117+Big+dreams.jpg Heart moments https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5c5b8c6d652dea319f362cb6/1549508530587/116+Inspired+by+the+elderly.jpg Heart moments Earlier this week I met an elderly woman. She came and set at my table and started talking to me. About the six weeks voyage when she sailed to NZ from Europe in the early fifties. How she and her husband were the only ones on the whole ship who would go to the back of the ship and sit there and watch the sun set. “Oh, she’s like me”, I thought and it made me smile, aThe connection was made. Then she continued talking, how they would hold hands on their daily walk until her husband passed away. They were married for over 60 years! Now she spends her days visiting the local hospital where she volunteers and spoon feeds patients with dementia. Her age, 87! “Another epic adventure”, I thought, “they don’t have to be big, they happen all around me in my own community. It’s called LIFE”. The children have always been my teachers... and the elderly my inspiration! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5c5b8c50eb393140dc78120e/1549508505239/115+Armistice+day+2018.jpg Heart moments This morning I attended the Armistice Day Centenary celebrations at our National War Memorial in Wellington. Words cannot describe the way I feel when I am surrounded by so many of us coming here together as strangers on the outside, but united on the inside. We are all there for the same reason… remembrance, peace and hope. There is a feeling of unity and reverence as we observe two minutes silence, and a feeling of pride and joy as we sing our national anthem. I wonder why we can feel so united one moment and so disjointed another moment. And I feel a sadness creeping in. WWI was meant to be the war to end all wars. It did not. Then I remember that it was my son this morning who wanted to come to this commemoration. And I look at him and then around and I see many more young people, Gen Y, Gen Z, paying their respects. They are here this Sunday morning, showing us they won’t forget the sacrifices their forefathers made. And it gives me joy, and hope. Hope in our future generation, and hope for a future without wars, because if we lose our hope we have lost the war! Lest we forget. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5c5b8c30e5e5f02e1333779a/1549508417750/103+Dream+lifters.jpg Heart moments A special Heart moment for you ❤️ Ever since I was a child I’ve had dreams. I’ve held on to them, with a tight grasp. I’ve made sure I would spend time with people who lift me up when chasing my dreams, and I never had much time for the dream stealers. My dreams have always been a matter of the heart. “Gnothi Seauton” are the words at the entrance to the Oracle of Delphi... Know Thyself. How can I know myself if I don’t take the matters of my heart seriously, if I don’t listen to the voice of my heart? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5c5b8bd19140b749eb77c1e3/1549508363874/102+Don%27t+carry+too+much%21.jpg Heart moments One of the lessons in life I am still learning is to let go of what I have been gripping tight to that doesn’t serve me anymore. Declutter... not just the seen stuff, but also the unseen. Everything starts as a thought and it is from this foundation that my creations and inventions evolve. Good thoughts create good days! Busy thoughts create busy days! I have come to realise that when I feel overwhelmed, for what ever reason, it’s because I am gripping to too many thoughts. And rather than dancing I am tripping and stumbling. After years and years of tripping and stumbling I am practicing filling my pack with less and less because the less I carry around, the easier it is to dance my body, smile my heart and relax my mind! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5c5b8bb371c10bf022bd2e82/1549508337384/101+Steps+belong+to+you%3F.jpg Heart moments My youngest daughter taught me an important lesson today. Right now she is on a science school trip in the Amazon and the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador. We haven’t heard from her for a while, as you can imagine, wifi is not readily available in the Amazonian rainforest. I was delighted to get a message from her earlier today. Great, she has a signal, I thought, bring on the photos. But the photos aren’t forthcoming. So I asked her why not? And she replied that she didn’t take many photos. She has been too busy diving with sea turtles, hanging out with the aboriginal people in the rainforest, kayaking around the islands and all the other incredible experiences that will take her by the hand for the rest of her life (in the words of Bev Bos). I noticed a slight feeling of disappointment, no photos means nothing to show, but quickly I realised the big message here… She has more to show than a memory card ever will. She captured life with the heart lens, not the camera lens! My daughter made sure the steps in this adventure belonged to her, and not her ego! And I am a proud mum :-) https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5c5b8ba2104c7b12886dc6c5/1549508315134/100+Shine+where+you+land%21.jpg Heart moments A couple of weeks ago I was hiking around a lake when it started raining. It wasn’t a heavy rain so I continued walking. I zipped up my raincoat, pulled my hat over my head, looked down and upped my pace. Then the rain stopped. I looked up and around and noticed a zillion raindrops hanging of branches, leaves, rocks, anything and anywhere. Every single raindrop was a different entity, small, big, large, lumpy. Even so they all were made up of water. I stopped and looked at them with curiosity. The slightest touch, the tiniest breeze, they were so brittle and yet they were so strong hanging on, shining where ever they had fallen, surrendered to what is. Can I surrender and shine where I land? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5c5b8b7c971a1856633d9738/1549508293628/99+Can+you+hear+it+crackling%3F.jpg Heart moments The other day I was lighting the fire. My mind was absent, my heart even more. I was cold, and tired and I didn’t want to put any effort in prepping a fire. I scrunched up some newspaper, and threw in kindling and some bigger blocks on the top. Mechanically I lighted a match and set the paper on fire. I was so absent I hadn’t even realised I had lighted it until the big flame that erupted jolted me back to earth. I looked at it and then noticed I wasn’t hearing the usual crackling sound. I knew straight away that this fire wasn’t going to go anywhere. No crackling, no fire! This silence meant defeat. Reluctantly I rebuild the fire, this time with a present mind and a more caring heart. A layer of newspaper, a layer of kindling, another layer of paper and then a finishing layer of two big logs. I lighted the paper and was rewarded with a steady warm fire... and the sound of crackling. During the week I’ve found myself a few times listening for a ‘crackle’, a sign it’s all good... https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5c5b8b50652dea319f361f01/1549508276238/98+Stuff+love+in+a+box.jpg Heart moments Two years ago I started the journey of declutter. It’s a long intense journey that continues to this day. For decades I have been filling boxes with anything and everything. Box after box got stored, in the attic, on the shelf in the closet, under my bed, in the garage. Many of them full with sentimental items, or so I believe. Until I read Courtney Carver’s book “Soulful Simplicity”. Now, after all those years of ‘stuffing’ I have come to realise that what I was trying to keep wasn’t the item, but the love it encompasses. My sister made me this, my mother send me that, my first report card, my first doll. For years I have been trying to stuff love in a box! And not just that, I was putting so much stuff in boxes, everything was so important to keep, that actually nothing really was! As Courtney writes in her book, love doesn’t thrive in boxes up in attics or under my bed. Love lives in my heart where it doesn’t turn into clutter! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5c5b8b3ec83025da569f43c4/1549508261033/97+Catch+up+on+your+heart+list.jpg Heart moments It’s weekend, and what do we do? We play ‘catch up’ with our to-do list, rather than our to-be list. We run errands, move a pile of laundry, get the groceries for the week, mow the lawns... and by the time Sunday evening arrives we are exhausted instead of refreshed. We have forgotten the weekend is for resting, reconnecting and refueling. We have forgotten to work on our heart, and instead continue to work on our head. Let go of the chores and catch up on your heart. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5c5b8afee4966b048bc2e3ba/1549508246946/96+Beat+boredom%2C+be+curious.jpg Heart moments Two years ago I stepped away from owning and running my two preschools. I had no immediate plans other than a holiday which had already been planned and organised before the thought of stepping out even came up in my mind. Not having any plans is unusual for me. I am a planner, organiser, adjuster and executer. In short, I am a “shipper”, I ship things, ideas, moments, experiences... It came as no surprise that I had one fear when I left my preschool and my life as I knew it. And that was my fear of boredom. Now, two years later, I still haven’t had one minute of boredom. In fact, there is not enough time in the day to do all the things I WANT to do. When I left my preschools and started thinking about my fear for boredom I realised I had an innate strength we are all born with. And it was about time I tapped in to it! It’s called curiosity! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5c5b8af6ee6eb05bcb44bfe4/1549508227826/95+Use+your+freedom%2C+change+your+mind.jpg Heart moments I always thought I don't have any power to make a change in the world. Until I came across some profound words... What is the greatest gift we have received as humans? It’s our will. We are in charge of our own thinking. We can choose what we think and we can change what we think. That is our biggest freedom. And this is where our power lays. Changing our thoughts will change our actions. This is what will change the world! The power to use our freedom to change our mind is on us! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5c5b8ab4f4e1fc889299fd35/1549508212850/94+Find+your+passion.jpg Heart moments One of my favourite songs is Secrets by One Republic. One of my favourite quotes is Secrets by Ludwig von Beethoven. Put them together and you have The Piano Guys. Have you ever watched them play? If you haven’t you are in for a treat. Whenever I need an uplift I watch The Piano Guys, especially their cello guy. Watching him takes me right down to that place where passion lives. It’s feeling passion in action and it’s absolutely catching. Once you taste passion you can’t get enough, it’s one of those flavours that is addictive and you wish for more and more. When people ask me where I get my energy from, I only have one answer: Passion + Inspiration = Energy + Motivation. Bring me more passion anytime! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5c5b8aa59140b749eb77b430/1549508191131/93+Don%27t+go+back+to+sleep.jpg Heart moments “The breezes at dawn have secrets to tell you Don't go back to sleep!” - Rumi The other day I was in the passenger seat driving down SH1. It was an early Monday morning, the start of a new week. It was just after dawn, the sun was making its way up across the horizon. I was looking out of the window at the view passing by. I passed a house that had looked inhabited for ages. This day there was a couple sitting on a seat outside, in their gowns with what looked like a cup of coffee. My mirror neurons were immediately activated, and a feeling of peace and calmness came over me. All because of a couple drinking coffee watching the sunrise. It made me think how often do I go back to sleep? How often do I see such a peaceful sight, and if I see it, do I really notice it, does it grab my attention? That day I didn’t go back to sleep, and the moment shifted something inside me, presenting me with a much calmer start to the week ahead. We hear a lot these days about ‘being in the moment’, and if you have been wondering what that means, it means just that…. noticing a couple drinking coffee in peace and harmony. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5c5b8a8ce5e5f02e13336302/1549508164356/92+Do+good+and+feel+a+smile.jpg Heart moments “For it is in giving that we receive” - St Francis On Friday I donated some of my time to the local hospice for their annual street appeal. I was to stand with a bucket outside one of the local supermarkets. Upon leaving the house I said to my husband “I haven’t done this before, I am not sure what to do, I assume I just stand there and smile?” Little did I know there was no need to worry and no need to ‘plaster’ a smile on my face. People were very willing to gift. For some it was a few coins, for others a couple of notes. It didn’t matter. What mattered was the genuine compassion and generosity I witnessed amongst these strangers. I could see it in the eyes, in the smile and in the gesture of these people, who connected through kindness. I couldn’t help myself but smile with every gift. This was what a real smile feels like. The power of kindness was showing its true force! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5c5b8a63a4222f08b49c7134/1549508139124/91+Happy+Mother%27s+Day.jpg Heart moments “I am now seventy-one years old. I feel, still, deep in my mind, my first experience, my mother's care. I can still feel it. That immediately gives me inner peace, inner calmness.” - Dalai Lama 2007. To all you beautiful mothers and to all of those mothers who have loved and cared for us, who are with us today, or in our hearts forever - HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5c5b8a56e79c70a854fd5135/1549508102504/90+Train+the+brain.jpg Heart moments In his TEDX talk “The Happy Secret to Better Work” Shawn Achor mentions that “If you can raise somebody's level of positivity in the present, then their brain experiences what we now call a happiness advantage, which is your brain at positive performs significantly better than at negative, neutral or stressed. Your intelligence rises, your creativity rises, your energy levels rise.” If we can train our brain to become more positive, to create a happiness advantage, we become more happy. And happiness predicts success, contrary to the much accepted believe that success creates happiness. How can we train our brain to think more positive and build up a happiness advantage? Spend time with your loved ones, exercise, meditate/pray/silence moments, random acts of kindness and nourish your own "happy place". https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5c5b8a0b971a1856633d8461/1549508077674/89+Biggest+playground.jpg Heart moments The last ten days I spent traveling through the upper part of the South Island, exploring bush trails, caves, beaches and mountain tops, and enjoying being in, on and with nature. I hiked several hut trails and, to my oh so pleasant surprise, I met several families tramping with children. And, to my even greater surprise, most of them were women alone with children. I talked to some of them, curious what brought them out there and what a pleasure to hear them talk about unplugging their children during the school holidays and taking them bush... “dad can’t get time of work so I take them by myself”. This has given me hope, seeing there are still kiwi kids growing up spending their holidays in the bush or at the beach, in a bach or hut without electronics... playing in the biggest playground on earth... the great outdoors! I wanted to share that today, because it put a smile on my face, and I hope it does on you too! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5c5b8a0b9b747a54aaa1962b/1549508054244/88+Laughter.jpg Heart moments Earlier in the week a big ‘sigh’ escaped me. My husband turned to me and said “What?”. “Nothing”, I said, followed with “Your ‘what’ is such a BIG question”. He looked up again and said “What?“. And I couldn’t help but burst into laughing. My initial big ‘sigh’ was a respond to my frustration trying to find the answer to some questions that don’t really have an answer. I was pondering on some issues that had come onto my path. The last couple of weeks have been intense and lately one ‘bad’ thing seemed to follow another ‘bad’ thing. I was pondering on all those ‘bad’ things and wondering what ‘good’ I could take away from them, when, before I even realised it, a big ‘sigh’ escaped. That ’sigh’ turned out to be just the answer I needed at that time as the resulting laughter changed the whole energy of the moment. Laughter is such a crucial part in our lives. When it is spontaneous, heartfelt, and catching it is an Instant medicine that doesn’t need a prescription and comes with free refills. Try some laughter today! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5ad47e63575d1f10b3051ccc/1523875930912/87+Be+prepared.jpg Heart moments Last weekend I went camping in the bush. I have to admit I was a bit nervous in the lead up. The weather had taken a turn, daylight was much shorter, and I had not previously met the other campers. I was going bush with a group of strangers. Then I remembered our mantra at work... preparation in the head, the heart and the hand. Why not apply this in my personal life? I started with the head. It was going to be 7 degrees overnight and some rain was expected. That’s crucial information when you are heading into the bush. Next I moved to the hand. Cold and rain meant digging up my merinos, packing my rain gear and bringing my down sleeping bag. Those are important items to prepare and pack. Now I was ready to move to the preparation of the heart. There was an immense cacophony in my head going on; will I be able to do all the tasks, will I meet the expectations, will I like the people I am spending the next two days with, how do I prevent getting lost? Mark Nepo says it beautifully... "It is the speaking of one's heart that makes a human being human". I acknowledged the self talk, without judgment, and took a moment of silence. Soon my heart was feeling lighter and more open. I was ready for a new adventure. Preparation had made all the difference! What can you prepare for in the head, heart and hand today? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5ad47e3b352f53c87a50facf/1523875792458/86+Love%2C+it%27s+okay.jpg Heart moments A few days ago I felt extremely sad. It made me uncomfortable and I wanted to cover it up. Do you feel sad sometimes? Your friend is suffering, or you lost a loved one? You feel compassionate and empathy and you cover up your feelings, wanting not to show this too much to the person in distress, thinking you need to protect that person from showing your own vulnerability. After all, you are supposed to be the helper, not the helplessness? If you stop for a moment and ask WHY you are feeling what you are feeling, you may discover that the one and only answer to that question is LOVE, for the other person... and what is wrong with that? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5ad47e3aaa4a990467240c12/1523875768166/85+Life+force.jpg Heart moments   Over the last few days I have witnessed the most beautiful Sun rises from my little place here at the beach. Jesus calls it love, the Buddha calls it compassion, and here in Aotearoa we call it ‘mana’... the force in us that touches all of us. Unconsciously we ‘charge’ others that come in our ‘light’. It’s an ‘energy’ that has more power than anything forged or fabricated. This is the power we all have, the power to be real and authentic. Like the Sun, let your mana shine, unconditional. Happy Easter! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5ad47df42b6a28134fdd2d9d/1523875725361/84+Conquer+fear.jpg Heart moments A little chaffinch had ‘lost it’s way’ and landed on our deck. My goldie Koda walked up to it and I thought he was 'going for it'. Instead, to my astonishment, he bowed down as if to say “don’t be scared, let’s be friends and play”. It was such a special moment to witness. And deep in my heart I wondered why we humans can’t do the same more often. It’s not about being the biggest, the strongest, the smartest... it’s about being courageous, trustworthy, compassionate and true. It’s about being present with others whilst staying true to yourself. Brave are those who conquer their fear from heart to heart, bypassing their own individual needs for the needs of the collective. What fear can you conquer today, heart to heart? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5ad47dbef950b77bff8fdd7b/1523875702481/83+Thank+you.jpg Heart moments We only moved in our new house a few months ago. When we bought this section we saved the trees from the developers and now the apple tree is loaded with yummy juicy apples, as if to say “thank you”. But it is us who want to say ‘thank you’, to our community for welcoming us. We’ve put up a simple sign at our letterbox saying “help yourself” with a few buckets full of apples, sharing our abundance with our new neighbourhood. The other evening the door bell rang and one of the neighbours dropped of home made treats to say thank you, as a ‘barter’ for the apples she took. The treats were yummy but the feeling of community was more delicious! Today, what can you do to to say ‘thank you’ to your community? A bag of grapefruit, or a forgotten box of books in the garage, or the toy no one plays with? A simple thank you can taste great. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5ad47daa6d2a73331c8c92d4/1523875680856/82+Get+to+know+yourselves.jpg Heart moments   The more we know ourselves, the more we will understand others. How well do you know yourselves? Do you know what you want? What you need? Today, examine what your desire is. Believe hundred percent, with all the passion you have, in something that doesn’t exist, you don’t have. Commit to getting to know yourself. Pursue what you want. Do that one thing today. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5ad47d812b6a28134fdd22ba/1523875661552/81+Intentions.jpg Heart moments It’s March, how can that happen so fast? It feels like only yesterday I was contemplating new years resolutions. If you are like me, chances are those resolutions didn’t last that long, hence I prefer to call them intentions. Intentions have power and create awareness. They usually take your “why” and “what” into account. And this is where the power lays. Even when you don’t follow through for the year, which often happens with resolutions, having thought about your intentions is worth the effort. If you build on that, it’s not failure. Today, on this beautiful Autumn Sunday use the power of your why and what. Let it help you, rather than fail you. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5ad47d77562fa717624bdb10/1523875639171/80+Whose+candle+are+you+lighting%3F.jpg Heart moments Here at the Heart School we believe that sharing what we know and love is worthwhile. We feel in our hearts that there are people out there crying out for words of inspiration, but to have confirmation is a very special thing. From time to time we receive feedback from people like you, teachers who share their kindness and thank us for the work we put out. This is always a special gift to us, these words, this acknowledgement, and it drives us to continue on the path we are on. What is in our hearts is also in the hearts of others. We can use our flames of knowledge to light the candle of others. Whose candle are you lighting today? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5ad47d3370a6ad118aa8906b/1523875559764/79+Who%27s+in+the+driver+seat%3F.jpg Heart moments Presence, a word that gets thrown around a lot these days. Ample books have been written about it. In a nutshell, presence goes beyond the story attached to a feeling. The story is in the past. Presence is sitting with what you can actually feel directly, in this moment. What if you let go of the story and not be influenced by your reactions to that story? Instead, you relax, let go of any resistance, desire or preference that comes up and go with the flow of life. What will you be doing if you put the present in the driver seat today? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5ad47d3288251b90ed6bdc31/1523875535419/78+Risk+to+free+yourself.png Heart moments A whole new year. What is on the menu? Is love going to be one of the ingredients? “Love between you and the other”, whoever that other is, your partner, your child, your parent, your sibling, your colleague”, is about creating moments of engagement and connection. For some of us that may feel risky, and be a struggle. But if love is on our menu then we can’t remain in the bud. Blossom... engage and connect, and the menu will be all the richer. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5ad47cb9562fa717624bc894/1523876021421/77+Employed+by+the+heart.jpg Heart moments In our suburbs we have a man who walks the streets. Every day. No, he is not homeless. In fact he lives in my street. Evan picks up the rubbish, and makes a big difference to our community. Not because he picks up the rubbish. Sure, that keeps our environment clean. The biggest impact Evan makes is that he is a role model. A role model and a change maker. He is the change we want to see! Evan is not employed by the council. He is employed by his heart! At his age, Evan could be sitting at home watching sports, or playing bowls. There is nothing wrong with that, and maybe that is what he does too. But Evan has employed himself by his heart. He has chosen to take action about something he does not like, like littering the streets. In our sector I hear a lot of disgruntlement. The sector is dumbing down, there is not enough funding, quality is sacrificed… We complain, and at the same time we keep going about our usual daily business as we have done all along. I hear so many voices these days complaining and using ‘the others’ (MOE, managers, owners, corporates) as the excuse for their environments. They complain from the comfy of the seat of their chair… We can be like Evan. We can change our mindset and do something about our environment. If it isn’t in the seen, it can be in the unseen. Yes, you may have a manager who doesn’t 'get it', or a team who is ‘passed it’. But we all have a child in front of us. A child who does not know nor care about compliance, budgets and targets. A child who wants YOU and your love, your care, your kindness, NOW. You are in control of WHO you are in front of that child, regardless what ‘the others’ do. If you want change, then be the change. Act now, in your own little ‘backyard’. Be like Evan. At the start of the New Year allow yourself to be employed by your heart! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5a461c4c71c10be68a3eb0b6/1514544666096/76+Simple+meal.jpg Heart moments It’s not the fancy food that feeds us, it’s not the expensive presents that make us happy... Christmas is about togetherness and sharing love and kindness with family and friends. The food may feed the body, but it’s the meal that feeds the soul. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5a461c2141920273bed04aeb/1514544635126/75+Little+doors.jpg Heart moments Last year I visited a gorgeous bed and breakfast that had small “hobbit” doors in the attic. As I explored the space each little “hobbit” door opened into the most amazing grand room, grand in the sense of beauty, feel and touch... I had been deceived by the look of the small doors... Opportunities and possibilities are often in the smallest nooks and grannies, it’s often the little BIG things that create the BIG little moments... Have courage, and open those little doors... https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5a461bcd53450a6f05eef375/1514544612195/74+We+are+all+artists.jpg Heart moments “Are you an artist?” I was asked yesterday as I was admiring some beautiful bird sketches. “No”, I said, quickly followed with a “Yes, I am, we all are, all of us are creators, it’s in our genes.” Think about it, what is your greatest wealth? The ability to create! What is your greatest work of art? Your life! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5a461bcd9140b7fa15f17674/1514544582992/73+Be+captured+by+the+soul.jpg Heart moments https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5a46169ce2c4831ea058f246/1523875600459/72+Flounder+or+florish.jpg Heart moments YOU are the single biggest influencer in your life. Every day is a new opportunity for growth, make today count. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5a46160553450a6f05ee92da/1514544532103/71+Rituals-+celebrated+moments.jpg Heart moments Rituals help with celebrating positive moments in our daily lives. They are a way of staying connected with the other members in our family. They mark special moments, big and small and recognise key times of belonging. Today have a think about what rituals you have in your family. From patting the dog when you get home to Sunday brunch at the local cafe, a daily after dinner walk or a hot cuppa with your partner to reconnect after a busy work day. Rituals are celebrated moments of connection. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5a4615d00852292beeda48f7/1514544511161/70+Deep+listen+to+the+sound.jpg Heart moments Deep listening is not listening to words, but listening to what is behind the words. Parents tend to ‘deep listen’ to their infant, they recognise their needs without the infant having to use words. We tend to stop deep listening once a baby starts talking. We stop deep listening because we start listening to the child’s words. And we continue this right into adulthood. The clutter of the words can colour our perception. Today, when you are engaging with another person, see if you can ‘deep listen’ to what they are really saying. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5a4615b0e4966b1d2b131021/1514544489577/69+Have+faith.jpg Heart moments Patience is “the capacity to accept or tolerate delay, trouble, or suffering without getting angry or upset”. Today participate in something that encourages you to be patient. Turn of the computer or tv, engage your hands, and your heart. Create, act, wait... for the birds to visit the bird feeder, the sun to set, the moon to rise, the dough to rise, your child to wake up. Focus on time to be, have faith, and patience will come as a natural response. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5a461549e2c4831ea058dd97/1514544475067/68+It%27s+called+the+heart+sense.jpg Heart moments Today, find your sacred sense, the one we don't register with the brain. The one we can only notice with the heart... it’s where you find love. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5a46154471c10be68a3e39b5/1514544459334/67+Change+the+lens+we+look+through.jpg Heart moments There are many ‘how to’s’ available to us today, we only need to google what we want to learn and we are inundated with YouTube video’s, blogposts, podcasts, images, webinars and so on. The information and practical ‘how to’s’ we have access to these days is overwhelming. But accessing a ‘how to’ or ‘step by step guide’ does not change our heart, the driver of change and does not make us do things differently. To really make a change we have to change our ‘eyes’. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5a4614bce4966b1d2b1301a3/1514544443730/66+Knowledge+is+in+the+head+wisdom+in+the+heart.jpg Heart moments I find myself often saying “I know, I know”. And yes, I do ‘know’, in my head! But knowledge is different from wisdom. What if today, instead of ‘knowing’ we focus on ‘feeling’? What if we stop the thinking for a moment, the operating from the head? And start the feeling, the operating from the heart? Will we find wisdom? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/5a4614bb71c10be68a3e3167/1514544405522/65+Want+to+be+happy+change+the+thoughts.jpg Heart moments Do you have days you wake up and feel instantly happy? Do you ever wake up and wonder if you will feel as happy today as you did yesterday? Why were you feeling so happy yesterday, but not today? What is different today from yesterday? Could it be your thoughts? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/59d1c3e9d7bdce30edb88ff4/1506921435020/64+Loose+yourself.jpg Heart moments We are living in a world of instant gratification, instant buying, instant dating, instant fun and instant work. The external world of ‘instant’ is leaving little room for the ‘internal’ world of ‘life’. We are taking our work home, we keep our social media status up to date, we watch the latest reality tv shows. How much time and freedom do we have sit with our own thoughts, dreams and passions? Today, take time out to take time in, dream or do something you are passionate about. Loose yourself! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/59d1c3e3f43b5501b2f3b90a/1506921423490/63+Synergy+1%2B1%3D3.jpg Heart moments Sometimes you meet a person and they just ‘drain’ you, they ‘zap’ your energy. Other times you meet a person and they ‘gain’ you, they add energy and together you are more than the sum of the two of you together. It’s called synergy. Today look for synergy. Find someone to hang out with who ‘gains’ you, not who ‘drains’ you. Find the one who equals 3, not 1… https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/59d1c3d6cd0f6847b8fc4299/1506921410062/62+Let+the+heart+speak.jpg Heart moments Want to connect this beautiful Sunday. Laughter, song and dance create connection. Don’t worry about what other people think. Be yourself, let go of being in control and looking cool, let the heart speak! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/59d1c3b929f1874f70a1f3af/1506921396662/61+Who+did+you+reach+out+to+today%3F.jpg Heart moments We are living in an age of disconnection from human beings and connection to ‘virtual beings’. More and more people are living alone or in loneliness, regardless the fact we build more concentrated housing blocks. Many of us don’t know their neighbour, don’t talk to the girl behind the counter at the cornershop or never say a word to the bus driver. We are ‘cell-fishly’ attached to our cell phones, vastly losing the social skills necessary to maintain a basic relationship. New science points to the importance of relationships and how theseaffect our health and well-being. Human’s can’t thrive without the human bond... a safe, trusting and caring relationship. Emotional isolation has been found to be more dangerous to our health than smoking! We have a need for belonging and support. So today, as Sue Johnson suggests in her book ‘Love Sense’ reach out, take someone you know, or maybe someone you don’t know, for a latte today. It’s good for your health! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/59d1c3b16f4ca3b2087901e0/1506921368462/60+DAD+The+letters+that+really+matter.jpg Heart moments This one is for all the dad’s today. One of the hardest parts of parenting is having confidence in our own instincts and abilities. With parenting being a ‘learn on the job’ role, there are many times we come into uncharted territories and feel out of our depth. Today, celebrate the thousands of little moments you have had and that are still to come being a dad. From soothing your newborn to catching your child in your arms as they are learning to ride their bike. Celebrate the letters behind your name that really matter. Happy Father’s day to all our dads! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/59d1c38bd55b41b151c25fe5/1506921356497/59+Fans+or+friends.jpg Heart moments We humans are social beings. We like to be in the company of others. We thrive on friendships. Today, think of one of your friends and when was the last time you added value to them. Go and spend some time with them. Are you their fan or are you their friend? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/59d1c3898dd0412aba0f32c9/1506921340508/58+I+am+enough.jpg Heart moments How many dreams do you have that you don’t follow because of your deep fear of failing or disappointing others? So what? Authentic people make mistakes and they learn, they disappoint and they are real, they are imperfect and vulnerable, they struggle and they are strong. Let go of who you think you are supposed to be and embrace who you are. You are enough! Now chase that dream! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/59d1c36e8dd0412aba0f31f7/1506921308076/57+Disconnect+inside.jpg Heart moments Your own backyard or nearby park of forest is home to many flowers and animals. Marvel and share these treasures and moments of awe and wonder with your partner or children. Nature creates many opportunities to share connection time that has special meaning for anyone involved. Today is the perfect day to connect. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/59d1c35cb07869e3794bbc21/1506921296459/56+Who+are+you+taking+for+a+walk...%3F.jpg Heart moments 3-in-1! My real, my reflection and my shadow. I, me, and myself, all going for a walk... https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/59d1c3564c326dd2b35e327a/1506920093544/55+Invest+in+yourself.jpg Heart moments Invest in yourself! Rather than robbing your family of time, you are filling your own vessel in order to be able to give even more to them. Investing in yourselves is an investment in your family. Make today a joyful day. Invest in yourself and enjoy to be in joy! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/59d1c34bcd0f6847b8fc3d49/1506920063438/54+Complete+rather+than+compete.jpg Heart moments Are you trying to move forward but feel threatened by competition? Do you see others as a hindrance to your goals? Do you have a habit to compete others? Have you considered they can be an alley instead? As Ken Blanchard says” None of us is as smart as all of us.” Together we can achieve so much more. If you feel you are not moving ahead the way you would like to, do some soul searching. You know how to optimise your strength, but do you know how to go about your weakness? Team up with someone who can complete you or share with someone who you can complete. Together you can move from good to greatness. Complete rather than compete! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/59d1c3289f8dcefe14b67a84/1506920042813/53+Leave+the+nest+and+fly.jpg Heart moments Not many people like receiving criticism. Especially destructive criticism. We prefer to hear how wonderful we are and how good a job we are doing. But criticism is also a building stone to greater goods if you learn to use it as an opportunity to growth. If you want to be better today then yesterday, you will have to come out of your comfort zone, be an initiator, and be prepared to receive criticism. In the words of Aristotle: “Criticism is something you can avoid easily by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.”Leave the nest and fly! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/59d1c3177131a5ddda3e42cc/1506920020443/52+Put+your+credit+in+the+bank+of+progress.jpg Heart moments Start small and believe big. Invest in yourself, day after day and see what happens. The one thing you CAN do to grow your life is to start with the one thing you are GOOD at and doubling it’s value, day after day. Move on from survival, go past maintenance and invest in progress. Find your thing of excellence and practice it daily. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/59d1c2fc03596e6dea317403/1506919998543/51+Play+to+play.jpg Heart moments All mammals play! It is a crucial part of their development towards survival. Play is not just preserved for the young. We need play in all stages of our life. Adults tend to meet that need through playing sports. But sports is a very different kind of play. Most sports people play to win. What if for once, we do what children do and we play to play. We play for the sake of the pure pleasure of using our creativity and imagination, rather than for the outcome of a victory or defeat. Go out and play, to play! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/59d1c2e603596e6dea31734b/1506919981150/50+Think+positive+thoughts+today.jpg Heart moments Thoughts create chemicals that create emotions. Emotions create actions, actions create results. Good or bad. What we do with them is what determines how we move forward. “You are today where your thoughts have brought you. You will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.” - James Allen. Changing your thinking will change your feelings, which will change your actions, which will change your life! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/59d1c2e5b7411c95f30aa17e/1506919946125/49+Slow+down.jpg Heart moments Feeling rushed? Deflated? When we are always on the go, our mind going in turbo, we tend to miss opportunities. We act more reactive, less responsive, and less intentional. Slowing down creates more space in your life to be more creative. Say No today to multi-tasking, say Yes today to presence and creativity will follow! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/59d1c2da59cc681f4ae199fd/1506919929036/48+Take+your+happiness+for+a+walk.jpg Heart moments Enjoy this day a little bit more. Be happy. It’s here, right now, in this moment. The sun said ‘hello’. You got to open two gifts today, your eyes! Today is a good day. Take your happiness for a walk and let it shine. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/59d1c2d864b05fe62a6cab94/1506919916314/47+Take+kindness+on+a+date.jpg Heart moments What goes around, comes around. What ever you do, everything has a result. You are the creator of your life. The choices you make, the thoughts you think, you are responsible for your actions, for your thoughts, for your speech. Act kindly, think kindly, and speak kindly. Smile to a person in the street, think “she is doing her best under the circumstances” when you are lined up at the supermarket counter, say “thank you” to the driver when you leave the bus. Take kindness on a date today. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/59d1c2c49f8dcefe14b67686/1506919899380/46+Only+in+silence+can+we+hear.jpg Heart moments Today give yourself the gift of silence. In this overstimulated world taking a moment for a ‘time out’ can make all the difference for having a ‘good’ day or a ‘bad’ day. Find a quiet spot, a moment to create stillness. Only in silence can we hear the whisper of our inner voice. What is it saying today? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/59d1c2c4b1ffb670473e6e99/1506919840875/45+Is+your+family+homemade%3F.jpg Heart moments Families are busy. School, work, sports, music... it’s easy to get distracted by all the things happening and forget about connecting with your loved ones closest to you. Take time to connect today. Gather around the table for lunch or your evening meal. Ask each other questions, listen to each other’s stories. The family dinner is endangered! This is where family values are created and modeled. Handmade! You can’t buy family values, happiness, joy, love. These treasures are all made at home. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/591d53bf414fb55fb1c94e08/1495094329025/43+Feed+on+beauty.jpg Heart moments Draw your energy from the beauty that surrounds you. As Liane said ’surrounded in beauty the soul grows’. Today, be surrounded in beauty. Pick some flowers for the kitchen bench. Take a walk in the bush, beach or park. Observe the birds in your back yard or park. Listen to music that makes your heart sing. Watch the stars twinkle at night. Notice the colours on the autumn leaves. Feed yourself some beauty today. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/591d53a437c581ab8ec4db5f/1495094414983/42+Be+still+and+discover.jpg Heart moments Stillness, appreciating the quiet moments to imagine, to question and to dream, to be alone with your own thoughts often connects us with our inner selves, something we often forget about. Today sit in silence and make new discoveries. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58fe8aab9de4bb751e0a1906/1493076726287/41+Feel+what+you+feel.jpg Heart moments   Allow situations in your life to become your teacher. Rather than resisting with the risk of keeping them alive, surrender and nurture. Have confidence in your own basic goodness, respect yourself. You have the power to meet every challenge as an opportunity to open your heart and soften. Make friends with your feelings. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58fe8a89579fb33b52497cce/1493076766130/39+Wake+up%2C+put+life+to+life.jpg Heart moments   On this Sunday, don’t sleep in. Instead, wake up! Open your heart just a little bit further. Do something different. Take an interest and be curious. Have a sense of humour, pay attention. Notice and appreciate. Dance, sing, play. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58fe8a89e6f2e1cc6b841bff/1493076746163/40+Looking+for+inspiration%3F.jpg Heart moments   Happy Easter! Today is a good day to be in awe! In awe of the colours of the autumn leaves on the trees, the twinkles of the stars in the sky, the brightness of the moon, the pristine of the water, the majesty of the mountains. Looking for inspiration? Be in awe of all the miracles around you. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58eb5499f5e231a18ad0e21a/1493076427848/38+Kindness+is+the+gift.jpg Heart moments Communicate to your heart today. What does it need? A laugh with friends, a good book, some time away, silence, music, love? Give your heart the gift of you. The more you are kind to yourselves, the more you will become kind to others. “Make friends with yourself and you’ll make friends with the world” - Pema Chödrön. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58eb547ec534a5cb83cc3739/1493076444486/37+There+is+no+place+to+hide.jpg Heart moments Feeling disheartened, desolate, deflated, discouraged, disillusioned? We all have 'di and de' feelings from time to time. After all, we are human. Acknowledge them, don’t hide from them. Taking care of your feelings is taking care of yourself. Give yourself a ‘re’ day. Re-fresh, re-energise, re-fuel, re-store, re-coup and you may feel re-alive again! “Go back and take care of yourself. Your body needs you, your feelings need you, your perceptions need you. Your suffering needs you to acknowledge it. Go home and be there for all these things." Thich Nhat Hanh https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58eb5461725e2551822e50b9/1493076467953/36+Come+to+your+senses.jpg Heart moments   This Sunday we invite you to engage your senses. Listen, see, smell, taste, touch! Come to your senses, go outdoors. Take a walk on the beach, a stroll through the park or a hike in the bush. Even a walk through town will take you outside. Stop and smell, stop and look, stop and listen, stop and taste, and stop and touch. Sensorial experiences are of vital importance, not only for children, they are important for adults too. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58eb544ff7e0ab8357ec0d69/1493076486637/35+Rest+your+head+voice.jpg Heart moments Rest is sacred. It is there we can listen to the quiet voice inside of us. The soft whispering words that speak the voice of our heart. Lay the loud voice of your head to rest today and invite the quiet voice of your heard to sing! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58eb54441e5b6c098b8cdce2/1493076504010/34+Bloom+where+you+are+planted.jpg Heart moments   The pursuit of happiness! Much has been said and written about finding happiness in life. As buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh said; “There is no way to happiness - happiness is the way.” Be content with what you have, rejoice where you are, be grateful with who you are. Your happiness is here and now! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58eb543215d5dbf58cf08acb/1493076529928/33+Nature+is+not+a+retreat.jpg Heart moments   Nature is part of who and what we are. Nature is our own being and we should treat it with uttermost respect, just like we treat ourselves. Nature is not just a retreat to go to for a rest or for recreation. Nature is not a place to visit now and then. Nature is not a far away land. Nature is here, right where we are! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58eb5425d1758e676a817ec3/1493076550706/32+What+are+you+feeding+on%3F.jpg Heart moments The soul feeds on beauty! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58eb540c1b631be4d8e49828/1493076567324/31+What+would+love+choose%3F.jpg Heart moments Shall I do this or that? Shall I go here or there? Shall I say yes or no? Decision making. We do it all the time, consciously and unconsciously. Often we engage the head to make the decision. What if today you consciously engage the heart? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58eb53f6cd0f68d5d5869d7a/1493075675723/30+Are+you+there+or+here%3F.jpg Heart moments Slow down this Sunday. Have a heart moment, a sacred moment. One of those moments when you observe something that opens your heart and fills you with reverence. You will find these moments when you observe, rest and enjoy your ‘here’. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58eb53f62994ca304af64d47/1493075715997/29+Change+the+view.jpg Heart moments Opportunities are determined by how you look at what happens around you. Take a fresh look. If you don’t like what you see, change your perspective. Life is full of opportunities, you may just have to change the way you view them. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58eb53ed725e2551822e36c0/1493075739740/28+The+present+moment+is+you.jpg Heart moments Every day can start with new intentions. Today, on this beautiful Sunday, celebrate the present moment, celebrate you! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58eb53ec2e69cf277201dd41/1493075770566/27+A+good+intention+has+no+regret.jpg Heart moments Are you that person who writes a goals list every year on the first day of the new year? You want to lose weight, run a 10k, read more books, finish that study. You look back and set resolutions to do better in the future. You think about your future self, and get lost in your dreams of desire. And by the time day 15 comes along, yes that is today, you feel overwhelmed, disappointed and a whole range of emotions about your lack of progress or ‘stickability’. Toss away the resolutions, bring in the intentions. Intentions are just that, intentions. No judgement, no expectation. No past, no future, just the present day! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58e9971ee3df28b2c23d5284/1493075787646/26+Take+time+out.jpg Heart moments A very merry Christmas to all of you and your loved one, the ones who are with you and the ones who are in your heart. While it is a busy time in the year, may you find space to take time to reflect and rethink. Decide what is worth carrying into the new year and drop the rest. Take some time out, find yourself a peaceful quiet spot, go within and find yourself. We are doing just that and unplugging for a few weeks. We wish you all a Happy New Year and will see you in 2017. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58e996fa8419c2d993a02cd9/1493075803100/25+Meet+your+best+friend.jpg Heart moments Remember the joy and kindness in people in the days in the lead up to Christmas? You will not find love and happiness and peace under the tree if you have not got it in your heart. It’s nearly the night before Christmas. This Sunday sprinkle some fairy dust on yourself, go and make magic and meet your best friend, YOU! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58e996f7d1758e676a175000/1493075819077/24+Unplug+and+plug+in.jpg Heart moments As adults we tend to have lost awareness of what is happening in our own backyard or local park. We tend to close our heart, shut our minds and keep our hands on our gadgets. Today, unplug from your gadgets and plug in to Nature. Go and explore, see the patterns, feel the textures, smell the fragrances, hear the crickets, taste the berries. It will recharge YOU for the busy days ahead! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58e996d937c581916168f4bc/1493075858916/23+Our+greatest+obstacle.jpg Heart moments How much energy do you spend on things you don’t like. Avoidance, resistance, anger, disappointment, rejection, the list goes on. We are good at pushing away that which we don’t like. The biggest lessons are often in the biggest mistakes. Embrace the ‘bad’ stuff, and learn a lot. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58e996b9d1758e676a17406c/1493075909034/22+Work+with+instead+of+struggle+against.jpg Heart moments So true but not always easy to maintain...Life changes constantly and things change just when we least expect it. Happiness is NOW and it is not hinged or connected to those things that..might be...could be...! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58e9969a579fb3bebad1e951/1493075926360/21+Today+is+a+good+day..jpg Heart moments Give yourself full credit for who you are TODAY, in the moment. Forget about the past, don’t think ahead to the future. Relax in what you already have or already are. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58e9966920099ea6ebc7d1fd/1493075944347/20+The+biggest+anniversary+of+the+heart.jpg Heart moments This is my first bike, the one I learned to ride on, and subsequently my children learned to ride on. My dad was always making up potions. He was the person to go to when we had stains or marks on our clothes or other things. So when I announced that I wanted to take my little bike with me to New Zealand he jumped into action, mixed some chemicals together and spend many evenings in the garage, cleaning and polishing my bike to make it worthy to travel to the other side of the world. On this father’s day, a shout out to my dad and to my little bike that traveled more than 18,000 km, carrying love and memories! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58e996461b631be4d879ee87/1493075957359/19+Ticket+to+Nature.jpg Heart moments Treat yourself to the theatre of Nature. It is on the wide screen and has a new programme on every day. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58e9961459cc687c74a1044c/1493075974355/18+What+window.jpg Heart moments Life is full of possibilities, opportunities, it is up to you to choose which ones you use and which ones you don't. Look at them like windows, every window gives a different view. Every opportunity gives a different outcome. You choose which window you look out through, but sometimes you have to look through a foggy window to see how clear the other window actually is. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58e995ae46c3c45cf05f5708/1493075988652/17+You+should+sit+in+nature.jpg Heart moments Most of you will have had an interesting week waking up to the Earth covered in a layer of frost or in some areas of the country, a blanket of snow. Even the beach on the Kapiti Coast had a layer of frost, which is very unusual. During one of these days I went on my daily wandering at sunrise, as I really wanted to experience the frost on the sand and the light of the rising sun over the sand dunes. To my surprise I did find something else as well... An obvious invitation to stop thinking ahead of all the things on my to do list and take a moment to REALLY enjoy the scene that Nature was putting on that morning. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58e99594b3db2b2c30ac7dc0/1493076001841/16+Give+time+create+memories.jpg Heart moments Today is a great day to spend time together and nurture the relationship you have with your child. You can go for a beach walk and make hot chocolates with marshmallows when you get back. You can sit in front of the fire place to share stories about your childhood. Or you can cuddle up in a sleeping bag and read, role modeling to your child it is okay to chill out with a book. There are many new amazing ‘board’ games out there that are not ‘boring’. Time is the one thing in life we can only give once. It’s the best gift you can give your child. Giving the gift of time is the only time your child will remember. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58e99584579fb3bebad1a3ba/1493076029512/15+Let+go%2C+when+it+is+time.png Heart moments Every child needs someone who, no matter what, champions for them, defends them, loves them, hugs them, talks to them, is there for them. Every teacher needs that too. Be patient, trust nature’s plan and let go. Just like the leaf on the autumn tree lets go when it is time, let go of your expectations and attachments and be a champion for the child and for yourself! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58e99573cd0f68d5d51c3a79/1493076041851/14+Look+for+beauty.jpg Heart moments As they say, ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’. You can’t argue about beauty, there is no right and there is no wrong. If you want to put more beauty into anything and everything you do start looking for spunk, spirit, character, kinkiness, personality, surprise, heart, lively, playfulness, desire, pain, in the most unexpected. It will not only show you beauty, it will give you a kick! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58e995568419c2d9939fc4ae/1493076053721/13+When+you+catch+the+thought.jpg Heart moments Everything once started as a thought and it is from this foundation creations and inventions evolve. Our emotions are the barometer of our thoughts. Be aware of the emotion then you can catch the thought. When you catch the thought, you have the choice to change the thought, and change your day. Good thoughts create good days! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58e994e4440243b385c7797d/1493076066994/12+Why+fit+in.jpg Heart moments We are all marvels, human beings destined to love, to care and to create in an ever changing world. We worry about fitting in, but we aren’t happy with the status quo. Change is eminent and we are all born creators. So start creating, today. Get out of the box, pick up the pen and start writing your own story. We need you! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58e994d11b631be4d8798f49/1493076078821/11+You+cannot+change+your+destination.png Heart moments The beauty of teaching from a heart place is admitting that we as teachers too are on a learning journey. As with every journey, there are side roads, intersections, detours, scenic roads, fast lanes and more. Any one of these may or may not lead to the same destination. Don’t like the scenery, there is always a turn off. What road are you taking? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58e994add482e94e7fe06cb2/1493076099763/10+Do+the+very+thing+that+makes+you+alive.jpg Heart moments I am writing this Sunday Heart moment from the Red Woods on the West Coast in the US. I love road trips and I love wilderness, and it’s this combination that makes me come alive. It’s these alive moments that leave rich deposits into my heart bank. It’s what makes me a better person, a happier person. What better investment can I make than investing in myself? What are you doing today to invest in yourself? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58e994a020099ea6ebc7602b/1493076113081/09+Patience+allows+you.jpg Heart moments Patience, a virtue that is much harder to come by. Our fast paced society has people wearing busyness as a badge of honour. Instead, focus more on time to be, to dream, to work things out and center the source of your patience on your believes, without expectations of gratification. Have faith and patience will come as a natural response. And with patience comes beauty and kindness. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58e9947ee4fcb565f1a599fa/1493076258907/08+The+best+project.jpg Heart moments We want children to have a strong sense of who they are so it is critical they are around adults who have a good strong sense of who they are too! Work more on who you are and less on what you do. Start today! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58e9944e17bffc10a33a653e/1493076276877/07+Give+yourself+the+gift+of+rest.jpg Heart moments Teaching is a heartfelt calling. Have a rest. Get out of your head and reside in your heart. It’s the perfect way to spend your holiday weekend. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58e9944bebbd1a8c72878bda/1493076162907/06+The+real+beauty+lays.png Heart moments Spend time with your family and friends. The relationship is ALL that matters! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58e99412bf629ae3d5d8fd4e/1493076175108/05+Open+the+door.png Heart moments After all that rain, wind, hail, thunder, cold and even a mini tornado, it's time for Sunday's Heart moment. Even if you are cozied up in front of the fire, take some time today to open the door! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58e99400893fc0148f8fef6d/1493076199812/04+Free+yourself.png Heart moments I have been blessed to be taught by the best teachers in the world, the children. It is with gratitude I thank them for letting me dance with them, for as the Tao says: “The life of a child is in harmony. Everything is perceived in its most simple, natural way. Delight is the companion of discovery, and the sounds and sights of existence are the dance of life itself.” From the known I am stepping into a big unknown. And here too the child teaches me another most valuable lesson, for as the Tao says: “Let your heart be the trusting heart of a child. Let your heart resound with the joy of meeting the world for the first time. Let in unknowing, and enjoy the freedom it brings.” https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e99019414fb5fae599331c/58e993ff1e5b6c098b226053/1493076223509/03+When+we+parent+a+child.jpg Heart moments "Woman do not have to sacrifice personhood if they are mothers. They do not have to sacrifice motherhood in order to be persons. Liberation was meant to expand women's opportunities, not to limit them. The self-esteem that has been found in new pursuits can also be found in mothering." - Elaine Heffner Thank you to all the Mothers! Happy Mother's day! https://www.heartschool.nz/zentails daily 0.75 2017-04-24 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/58e9c9f9579fb3bebadd5186/1493074659359/20+Koda+spark+inside+of+us.jpg Zentails Maybe it's hard to believe for our Hawkes Bay friends, but here at the Kapiti Coast it doesn’t seem summer has arrived, yet! It's been unusual cold for the time of year, with less sunshine and more overcast than expected in summer. Koda loves his walks and to him there is no such thing as good or bad weather, warm or cold summer, clear sky or overcast. For him there is only one weather, one day, one moment! He’ll give me a nudge “come on, it’s walkies time”. And I will look outside, at the droopy weather. It reminds me of a quote from Elisabeth Kubler-Ross: - “People are like stained glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within.” In Koda I see hope and I see a spark, I see beauty! I take an extra layer of clothing, I pack a beanie in my bag and I find that spark inside of me...! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/58e9c9f8440243b385d33bcf/1493075510521/21+Koda+observe+your+thoughts.jpg Zentails We all want to help. We all care. We want it so much that at times we just jump in. We leap in because we take it personally, or we want to ‘solve the problem’. We listen and we judge, we use our mind and then... we find ourselves tending to our own thoughts ‘fixing’ things. Have you ever noticed that? And because we are so busy with our own thoughts, we have less space to pay attention to letting the things simply be and run its own course. We can’t stop the thoughts, but we can stop the awareness. We can do what Koda does. He takes his time, he doesn’t react, he responds! Koda watches, Koda waits, he knows that if he reacts, it will be gone, but if he responds, he has a chance. That means observing our thoughts, but remain focussed on that what is in front of us, be it the child or another adult! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/58e9ca1703596efb3203135a/1493074940731/19+Koda+the+breeze+at+dawn.jpg Zentails How many of us wake up every day with the same habits and the same routines? We think the same thoughts and we do the same actions. Kinda like being on auto pilot. And then we are surprised we are not really doing, or receiving what we want. Life kinda happens and we sleepwalk through it. Even though every day brings new opportunities and new moments to make a change. Koda lives fully in the moment, he does not think about the past, he does not think about the future. Every day he wakes up full of excitement. For him there is no ‘same old, same old’. Even if there is, he doesn't think like that. Every morning he goes outside and stands on top of our water tanks. From the top of our dune he overlooks the paddocks where the earth is waking up and lifting its blanket. Koda takes a brief moment, and then runs of, with no intention to go ‘back to sleep’, because to him every moment, every dawn is a new opportunity and 'life doesn’t just happen', he makes it happen! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/58e9ca28be659458e81a7a2c/1493075014254/17+Koda+observing.jpg Zentails We tend to see a lot. But that doesn’t mean we observe enough. Observation is not an idle process, but something active and involved. It’s when we observe we can meet the needs from a heart place. Instead of just using our eyes to see, we can engage our heart to observe. It’s then that we respond more, and react less. A response from the heart fills up our emotional fuel tank. Reacting from the head puts up barriers to connection. Like Koda does when he is out on his walkies, let’s slow down, be present and tune in. If we un-busy ourselves, we don’t just see, we observe. When we observe, we connect. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/58e9ca23bf629ae3d5e50277/1493074964323/18+Koda+step+into+the+unknow.jpg Zentails At times we all have the human tendency to stay inside our comfort zone. It give us a feeling of security. Our comfort zone is the known, and it has its merits and its place. Learning takes place when we step out of our comfort zone, into the unknown. There are times we are confident and step into the unknown without hesitation. At other times we are anxious and we are reluctant to step outside our comfort zone. We do not know what is ahead of us, we do not know whatever it is we feel we need to know. We hold on, to the known, to the comfort. We feel challenged stepping out into the unknown, and we don't like it. But if we look at Koda, who steps into the unknown on a daily basis without attachments and without expectations, we can see that challenges can become opportunities of learning. Koda naturally has a deep inner sense of feeling safe in the unknown, because he surrenders, he is spontaneous and in the moment. At first the unknown may create confusion, but it's confusion that creates learning. Let go of all the structures that help you keep safe once they don't serve you anymore. Don't let these structures become a constraint. Unleash them, and like Koda without a leash, step into the unknown. It's where learning takes place! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/58e9ca4d3e00be49e5b863cc/1493075032640/16+Koda+and+Linc+Superhero.jpg Zentails Ever feel disheartened? Feel like you are giving it your best shot and not achieving what you were hoping to achieve? Feel like others seem to be these superheros who whatever they put their hands on seem to turn everything into gold? Don't believe it. No one is a superhero on their own. We all add our own sugar and salt to the big cake. As Mother Teresa put it. "I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things". Koda and Linc realise that very well! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/58e9ca4fe3df28b2c248a5c6/1493075049246/15+Koda+Gate+open.jpg Zentails We both have returned from an invigorating holiday, a much needed break. Holidays allow us to take time to stop and focus on our life, outside work and/or the usual business of raising a family. We feel more alive during holidays. We are more relaxed and at the same time more energetic. Thinking about it, if we look at Koda, or Linc, they don’t need a holiday to be alive. Maybe we can learn from them! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/58e9ca773e00be49e5b86cd8/1493075087226/13+Koda+It+is+a+good+day.jpg Zentails Have you ever made a list of times in your life when you have felt extremely happy, feeling fully alive? Try it! Big chance that for many of you most items on your list would have involved the outdoors or doing something physical. Just like Koda, we love running, skipping, dancing, walking, traveling, we love being active. We tend to forgot how simple it actually is to bring joy in our lives. How do we live, from day to day? We have a responsibility to not only look after others, we also have the responsibility to look after our own soul. For Koda everyday is a good day to do what brings him joy? What about your day? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/58e9ca77b8a79b774a5ad160/1493075068514/14+Friendship.jpg Zentails When Koda and Linc met for the first time there was a bit of ruffling going on. The relationship had to be established. It didn't take long though and the two of them headed of to the beach as if they were long lost friends. Dog or human, we all need friends in our lives. Friends who are kind to us, friends who make a difference in our lives through big little things. Kindness is a quality of the heart. Dogs understand this, they live in the moment, they live in the heart. If we honour the spirit of ourselves and of those around us, we act with kindness. Always! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/58e9ca9f197aea9c40d43a47/1493075106827/12+Linc+and+Blue+play.jpg Zentails What is more natural for dogs than to play? All mammals play when they grow up, it is coded into their genes. Children need to play in order to learn. Just as we can’t separate learning from living, we cannot separate playing from learning. Play is a process that is freely chosen, personally directed and intrinsically motivated. Blue and Linc have got this sorted. They find pleasure in sticks just as children do. The stick is passive until the dogs pick it up and make it ‘active’. Just like children do with passive toys. They make action happen with their whole selves. Their minds, hands, bodies work together to transform an object from something passive to something active and creative. Do you have active toys or active children at your programme? You can’t have both! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/58e9caa5c534a5cb836d562a/1493075143421/11+Linc+in+the+moment.jpg Zentails They say it's a dogs life. Here is what Linc did for his Easter. Dogs know how to be in the moment, one hundred percent! They have no agenda, just pure pleasure! They give full attention and are unconditional love on legs. We can learn a lot from Linc. If we pause, observe and allow for the discovery of beautiful moments in our day, be it taking a nap, daydreaming under the clouds or having a laugh with friends, we will be able to appreciate the everyday magic in our day. Teaching is a heartfelt calling. Do what Linc does from time to time, it will nurture your body, heart and soul! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/58e9cab96a49638159f6d883/1493075177269/10+Koda+sunset.jpg Zentails Koda loves being at the beach house. It means more walkies as usual, it also means more space and more freedom. The evenings are a real treat as we often go for an extra walk on the beach watching and listening to mother Earth as she prepares for the night. Sunsets at the beach are spectacular and as a family we stop every night to enjoy those couple of minutes when nature puts on the most phenomenal show, totally unplugged! Those couple of minutes, no matter how short, give us a turbo recharge. After all, we human beings are not like mobile phones! We don't need an external source to plug in to, we can recharge ourselves by plugging in to our heart. So keep your heart filled with happiness, never miss a sunset because you are looking down! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/58e9cabe1b631be4d885758f/1493075208753/09+Koda+play.jpg Zentails The weather over the Summer break has been incredible. We have been enjoying daily walks to the beach where Koda loves to run and jump through the puddles and the waves, sometimes up to three times a day! We don't stop him from getting wet and dirty. Instead, we see it as only natural. After all, he is a dog and all dogs play! Koda shows us the joy and pleasure it brings when he can do what he is wired to do, without us bursting his bubble. He reminds us that children too are wired to play. Imagine the joy and pleasure the children receive when they too can play, without their bubble getting burst! And what about your bubble of play? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/58e9cae046c3c45cf06b14f1/1493075241801/07+Koda+slow+down.jpg Zentails Does it amaze you how busy, frantic and stressed people get at this time of the year in this corner of the world? It may have something to do with the combination of Christmas and the start of Summer, with businesses closing down for summer break. Watching Koda going through his normal daily routines, Christmas looming or not, gives a complete different perspective. He is chilled, playful and always present with full attention. We can take a page out of his book. Slow down, unplug more and give presence to our families and children. It may be the best gift we can give our children and ourselves! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/58e9cb321e5b6c098b2e9c4d/1493075284868/06+Koda+playground.jpg Zentails Sometimes when we wake up, the sky is grey and cloudy, it is cold and raining, and the wind blows and rattles. You think of all the work that is waiting for you: deadlines to meet, meetings to prepare, reports to write, emails to answer, phone calls to make. It all seems like a battle. And then, as you start working your way through a few of the tasks it stops raining, the sun comes out, the sky turns blue and the earth warms up. That is the moment to pick yourself up and go outside. Run through the dunes, watch the view, listen to the waves, walk through the forest, smell the flowers, enjoy the song of the birds and jump in the puddles left behind by the morning rain. Remember, play is the way every day! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/58e9cacf8419c2d993ab9a93/1493075226119/08+Koda+what+you+see.jpg Zentails Koda knows when to chill out and enjoy the moment. Warm summer nights are such moments, with the light of the setting sun glowing up the Earth before it settles down for the night. Koda reminds us to slow down, to not only look, but see! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/58e9cb5886e6c0b3d2ef6c24/1493075303715/05+Koda+surrender.jpg Zentails At times we have a spanner thrown in the works. We have plans for the day, then things pop up and what we had planned or anticipated is not going to happen. We may have feelings of frustration and disappointment. What if we surrender, and let go of our expectations, of what “I ought to be doing”? If we let go of the structure that no longer would serve us, a structure that instead would become a constraint, we may actually have the most peaceful day, in great companionship. Sometimes its best to surrender and let go, and open up to what is in front of you. A lesson Koda, and our cat Pippin mastered a long time ago! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/58e9cb5a46c3c45cf06b2caf/1493075316742/04+Koda+spring.jpg Zentails It's Spring time! And Koda knows it. The rain at 'his patch' created huge puddles and floods, but this doesn’t stop him from going outside. Rather than avoiding the wet, he jumps straight into it. And he is so right. We are born to be outside, and to connect with nature. We need to be in, on, and with the earth, and that means touching, smelling, tasting, listening, seeing the earth. After the rain is such a perfect time to experience all this, when the earth is soaking up the water that brings life to everything. If you have spend more time inside this Winter, than seize the moment, now is the time to go outside and reconnect with the earth. Do it today, feel the magic of new life springing forth everywhere ... after all, it's Spring! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/58e9cb75d1758e676a22dfa1/1493075338252/03+Koda+view.jpg Zentails Nothing lasts forever, nothing is perfect and nothing is ever finished! Changes happen all around us. They can make us uncertain, but also exciting and curious about a new journey that is ahead of us. Enjoy it, wherever it will take you! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/58e9cb822994ca304a97faf0/1493075353989/02+Koda+home.jpg Zentails There are times I miss my home country, where I was born and grew up, where my roots are and where I have friends and all my family! Having lived in New Zealand for nearly half my life now, I love this beautiful country, where my children were born, where I have a place and where I have lots of friends. They say home is where the heart is. Can it be in both countries? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/58e9cb99893fc0148f9c3a5e/1493075373884/01+Koda+love.jpg Zentails Do you suffer from the Monday blues, after a great weekend? Why is it that we struggle with Mondays? Could it be that we enjoy the weekends because they are calmer and we seem to live more intentional? Is it because during the week we hurry from one thing to another, chasing whatever we are chasing, missing out on the things we really enjoy? Maybe we need to rethink what we commit too? Koda doesn't seem to have any problem at all with rushing. He takes his time and enjoys the moment. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/58fe85feebbd1a25ce8772df/1493075473716/22+Linc+Real+love+begins+.jpg Zentails Expectations, we all have them. Expectations about ourselves, about others. Having expectations is a human tendency, and with it comes disappointment. The trouble is that expectations and the resulting disappointments can occupy our human mind and take away our peace of mind and freedom of mind. When that happens there is no room for love. Linc doesn't seem to have that problem. He stays in the present moment anytime. He isn't thinking of 'hopes', or 'how good things can be if'. All those thoughts don't matter to Linc. He's not desperately longing for anything, he's not fixated on a goal, he doesn't have expectations. He has plenty of room for love. He is one big loving machine. What if we had the same attitude as Linc, if we accepted who and where we are? Life is full of thoughts, emotions, actions. What if we let them exist, instead of engage with, what if for once we have no expectations, let it go and relax? Would we be, like Linc, a loving machine? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/591d52f6e58c62e170258850/1495094049008/23+Koda+paralyses+by+analyses+.jpg Zentails To get ahead in all areas of life we require decisive action. Our human mind tends to analyse and at times over analyse, making it hard to make decisions as we get paralysed by all our thoughts. At times our minds bring the danger to complicate things rather than simplify them. Have you ever observed a playing dog in the park or at the beach? They don't tend to suffer from over analysing or paralyses. They look at what is in front of them, let it be a stick or a ball. They see what they look at and they understand what they see. They don't need to analyse that there is a stick in the water or a ball on the grass. They are going for it. Carrying is what the stick is for, retrieving is what the ball is for. That is what they understand and that is what they act upon. At the end of the day, that is what really matters. If you want the stick to come home stop over analysing. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/59d1d043f7e0abd6c5228107/1506922704901/24+Koda++Enter+the+world+of+play.jpg Zentails hen I take Koda to the beach I enjoy watching him frolicking around, chasing seagulls, sniffing logs, running in circles, jumping through the waves. It’s pure pleasure to watch his world of play. What strikes me most is that he doesn’t need a toy to play and his play is without any expectations of outcomes or advancements. He does what he likes and he seems to have a lot of fun. Children too play without having expectations of achievements, advancements and outcomes. They play for the sheer joy of playing and the fun it brings. Just like Koda they don’t worry whether their imagination or their creation is going to get them somewhere in the near future. They totally play in the present moment. They are alive, here and now. Most of us adults have forgotten how to do that. When we play we want an outcome. We want to win the game, hike to the top, finish that bike ride, knit a beanie. We have become foreigners in the world of imaginative play where spontaneity and exploration are the rules of the game, not chasing goals and reaching outcomes. We can learn from Koda and let go of our expectations when we enter the world of play. If we play for the sheer joy of it we may get back the pleasure we had as a child and actually have fun! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/59d1d043be42d658b8a60b45/1506922674349/25+Linc+worrying+takes+away+todays+peace.jpg Zentails We all worry at times. It’s a trigger to solve problems or take action. But worrying can become its own problem when it becomes irrational, turns into doom thinking, focusses on questions without answers, or things we can’t control. This is when worry turns doubts, fears and concerns into paralyses. Look at Linc. He is watching his human out there whilst he is inside. That may seem like a worry, because he so wants to be with her. At the same time he is very much at peace. He accepts, he surrenders, he does not judge, he does not worry. He is simplistic in his needs, he gives and receives love and he is content. He is happy with what is, this present moment. What can we do to prevent worrying robbing us from any peace we have? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e935912994ca304a719252/58e9911ae6f2e1dfcefe5623/5a46090853450a6f05edbe0a/1514539419544/26+Koda+Understanding+is+love+other+name.jpg Zentails Have you ever had a dog look you in the eyes? When I look at Koda my brain tells me what I see... I see two eyes, a nose, two ears... I am looking with my brain. But when Koda looks at me, with his two big dog eyes piercing into my eyes, it feels he doesn’t just see my face, my arms, my legs, it feels he sees ME. Koda sees the unseen, by looking into the heart. Sometimes I feel people just don’t understand me, they don't 'see' me. Sometimes I feel I don’t understand them, I don't 'see' them. But I never feel this with Koda. According to Thich Nhat Hanh “understanding is love’s other name”. I have been trying to be more understanding by 'seeing' more and using two puppy eyes that don't look at the body I see that is in front of me but that look at the heart that is unseen... Koda does it all the time, I am still learning. Wouldn't there be more understanding in the world if we all tried to 'see' a bit more?   https://www.heartschool.nz/parents-the-adult daily 0.75 2017-04-27
