Most of the time I am a happy, optimistic soul but there are days, weeks even when life isn't so multi-coloured and bright, when the world is flat and mundane.
I can blame it on the weather, I can blame it on my broken leg (that's a good one!), I can blame it on my parents or even take the blame myself but this circular finger pointing goes nowhere but down into more flatness, more greyness.
In this moribund state it takes all my effort to raise my spirit above the parapet of ambivalence and inertia.
On this road to nowhere it takes the bright craziness of the graffiti to CPR me back to life.
My ever wakeful cynic curls it's lip and mutters REALLY?! So trite. Too simple. Put that one in your pipe and try and smoke it.
Bleary eye and dazed my soul is nonetheless awake.
We are beings of love, we have hearts, dreams and things that really matter to us and yet I forget.
Love is the answer. Oh yes love is all that matters. I have a heart and when I forget about my heart it shrivels up and dies an impotent seed in the ground.
I know this bad habit I have of forgetting I have a heart and I even understand why it is such an ingrained part of my make up.
Growing up as an dreamy child in a highly critical, risk adverse family the message I got is the world is a dangerous place for my heart.
So my tendency is to hide my heart away, that is when the forgetting begins.
Fortunately I have learned to build in mechanisms of remembering into my life.
Time in nature, walking and the sea are super important but even more special is the week I dedicate to re-discovering and re-igniting and re-energising heart in Corfu overlooking the Ionian sea.
To make it even easier to honour I had the inspired idea to invite others to join me on this journey and Evolve the Journey was born; a delicious journey reflecting, championing and encouraging heart back to life and into the world.
A week of exploration and discovery, conversation, dance, music, swimming, stretching, eating. Ultimately a time of pleasure, purpose and possibility.
With the Spring upon us Evolve 2024 is a quarter turn of the year away and invitations are open for adventurers to join this year's journey.
