Shine Bright Like a Diamond

Mindfulness & Self-Compassion

Good morning beautiful people,

I do hope that you are safe and healthy, wherever you are in the world.

I constantly come across people who inspire me, and get nourished by listening to their stories and trying to piece the puzzle of their life so to speak.

Whenever a story stands out, filled with miracles, ie. shifts in perspective, I long to share it with the people I know.

It is for that reason that from September, I will be resuming my podcast, Beyond Norms and interviewing weekly all kinds of change makers and shakers, myself included!

My intention is to enable all of us to find inspiration beyond our mental norms, even when there is a little voice within that says it’s not possible.

When our imagination leads us in a direction that enlivens us, it feels scary and dangerous all at once. It also seems that the people who watch, from outside the arena, living within their norms, are the first ones to criticise.  So how about working out that muscle of ours, opening our mind and inviting strength and resilience.

What a gem to have that possibility in our life.

May your nights be filled with infinite dreams, and your days be a reflection of what inspires you the most.

Please don’t hesitate to share you thoughts as I always love hearing from you

With love and deepest Respect,

Vanessa​
