Let go

I think about letting go a lot. Sometimes it's hard to tell when to let go and when to hold on. 'Let go' is something I hear a lot. Releasing that which no longer serves. Letting go of the things that we are better off without. Negativity, tension, stress, anxiety, worry... the list goes on…

‘Second star to the right and straight on ’til morning.’

I love the line, 'Second star to the right and straight on 'til morning', in Peter Pan. But maybe the question isn't 'Where's my North Star?' but, 'Will I follow it?'. I've been reading The Chimp Paradox by Professor Steve Peters. It's an amazing book and I genuinely believe it will be incredibly helpful - if not…

Why I write

Words are magical. Here's why I write mine down. This morning someone asked me why I write. I hesitated, considering my answer. "To express the things I don't know how to communicate in any other way." I responded. "Yeah," came the reply, "But why do you have to publish them? Why don't you keep it…

If I’m being honest…

What's your 'truth', if you're really honest? Right now, this is mine. This post is a story in itself. My main objective for Audrey was to share my thoughts and musings - and hope that people would enjoy reading them. I never really intended to just write about the things I love, although that's been…

Dwelling in Darkness

The response to last week's blog post has encouraged me to write a post I've always wanted to write. It's about a true love of mine - darkness. Last week someone noted how things can't always be rainbows and butterflies. Not only is this true, but it's wonderful. Life is confusing, arduous, painful... but this…

Silence

I've written about words. Now, I'm thinking about something I love just as much: its polar opposite - silence. If you know me, you know I love words. I love the way they can be channelled into a stream of meaning and expression. But words, whether constructed into eloquent sentences or jumbled into awkward utterances…

The Element of Fire

So we've arrived at the last of my Elements series. I've had fun writing them; hopefully you've enjoyed reading them. I've saved the most intimidating for last: Fire. Fierce and ferocious. Consuming, burning, unforgiving... To me, fire is that energy you feel when something matters. That fire that seems to ignite in your soul when…

Privacy Policy

Apologies, but I’ve been so consumed by uni and work that I’ve only just realised I need to say something regarding the whole GDPR thing. Basically I only use any of anyone’s info if you’re subscribed to getting an email when I publish a post. I don’t use your data for anything else, I personally…

The Element Of Air

Is anyone else as fascinated by the four elements as I am? The way that human characteristics can mirror certain aspects of them? The way that we can be inspired by them? I've arrived at the element I find most inspiring: Air. It's funny, but I noticed that my post about Earth seems quite grounded. In…

4 Things I Love About Audrey Hepburn

I discovered this morning that today, May the fourth, as well as being Star Wars day, was the day that Audrey Hepburn was born, in 1929. As she is the namesake of this blog, as well as the reason behind one of my nicknames, I feel that I owe her more than a simple retweet…
