Hard SUN

My Beautiful 21 year old daughter surprised me for my birthday on the 18th of March and took me to see one of my favourte muscians Eddie Vedder. I just adore this song and the beautiful message. It reminds me to reconnect with the earth and to always remember to ground myself. That perhaps it is not always easy and bright but the passion and commitment of nature is always inspiring and can make miracles occur.

Carmella my Friend

A beautiful Saturday night of chanting by the inspirational Carmella Gitanjali Baynie. So lucky to be able to share the space with this wonderful woman at the Paddington Uniting Church. 

Have a listen to her magical music! HERE

She is a magical performer so please either buy her cd's, see her in concert or better yet go to one of her Voice Connection Workshops

Bhagavan!

A Special Place. Quay

This restaurant has the most beautiful food I've ever eaten in my life and its in my home town of Sydney!

The head chef Peter Gilmore is an amazing food alchemist...every bite is filled with his love and consciousness. The first time I went with my two daughters Matisse and Ondine we were all drunk with joy as every dish was so heavenly.  It was not just the taste that was so inspiring everything from the presentation, the location, the staff and the clear and extraordinary energy the Peter imbued into every plate, made the experience unforgettable and inspiring  

To me this is further validation in the ability that food can have on our beings, because of Peter's connection to his food we were able to have an actual opening and widening experience long after the food has been eaten.

It reminded me of the beautiful film Babette's Feast. 

 I also love the flowers that so effortlessly garnish his plate. Such a special place.
