Notes from a Small Island

My words for the year- Expansive, Momemtum, Embodiment and Audacious and this trip really did encapsulate all of them!

Every time I touch down, something in me shifts. I don’t have many conscious memories of living there as a child, but the moment I land, I feel it — like I’m being welcomed home. There’s an energy to the island that’s hard to describe but impossible to ignore. It's as if the land itself recognises me, and I breathe a little deeper- I inhale.

But here’s the truth: I’m not built to go slow. A typical Type-A personality with a “hurry-up driver” — that ever-present impulse to move, do, achieve. Yet, this island has a way of making even me pause. And in that slowing down, these past few days I have remembered the fundamental lessons around timing, about trust, and about tuning in.
