What does it mean to Live with Light?
​
It means to live from your heart and your truth. It means to truly listen to that still small voice within you and to follow it's guidance however hard that may be ~ and it can be hard. It means to know that life is filled with light and darkness and that's ok. The sun and moon shine their light each day whether it be the brightest of skies or the darkest. They are a reminder to keep standing in our light, to not be afraid and to embrace all that we are.
All of life is light. We are light in bodies...stars wrapped in skin.
Unbeautiful Things
Conversations with people who care for people, animals and nature

After losing my father a few years ago and caring for my mother since then I realised how isolating and overwhelming the caregiving experience can be. Care changes us. It can exhaust us, break our hearts, and reveal strengths we never knew we had.
I wrote a memoir (as yet unpublished) about all of these experiences - the difficult truths, the unbeautiful things.
This led me to create a space for real conversations about care, exhaustion, love, grief, loss, responsibility, and resilience across many different lives and worlds. Caring for my mother opened into the wider human story of care in all its forms—what it costs, what keeps people going, and the light woven through it all.
Unbeautiful Things is a conversation series with people who help people, animals, and nature. From family carers to animal rescuers and conservationists.
