March '19 ... Guwahati at Shivaratri. Lord Shiva weds Parvati amidst processions, puja and some of the most amazing people. Assam has gone beyond the usual kind acts and curiosity I encounter to leave me feeling overwhelmed with the genuinely open arms and open hearts of the people I have met recently. Festival is always amazing and Guwahati upheld that notion. Pumping bass from stacked speakers, dancing like demons, fire eaters and invitations to join the 'wedding feast'. Just amazing.

To all the women I have met on this journey, the female friends I have left behind and the ones to come you have my love and solidarity in the times shared. We are stronger and more capable than we know.
To all the men I have met on this journey, the male friends I have left behind and the ones to come you have my love and gratitude for the times shared. We are stronger and more capable together.
There is still so much that is divisive in this world, so much inequality and injustice. The more we reflect the respect and gratitude we have for each other the better the world will be for each and all of us.
Happy International Women's Day☀. This is for us all whether we are women and/or we support women and however we identify our gender ... we each have so much to offer the wider world and the individuals around us especially the little individuals. Raising girls and boys to challenge gender roles and 'norms' so they can be the people they want to be.

New Years Day 2019 ... I love the 31st December/1st January, as many do, for the sensation of newness, of joy in potential. As I travel through life I am slowly more able to transfer that into the same awareness of potential in every moment in the year, not just the start! Sending the best of wishes for every moment in 2019, all those amazing, heartstopping times as well as the little instances that catch your eye xx

Goodbye 2018 ... Not actually a #bestnine2018, instead a representation of what 2018 really meant. Numerous different types of physical and metaphysical 'breakdown', realisations, beauty, loss, so much joy in connection, self love, acceptance, process and slow progress! It's been interesting and the work has paid off in unexpected ways. Can't wait to see what 2019 brings to the ongoing party!

Dec 2018 ... Wishing you all a wonderful Festive holiday, however and where ever you get to spend it. I am lucky enough to see snow capped peaks!

Dec 2018 ... And then the hauling and swearing is all worth it! The welcome is amazing! Village life comes to an abrupt halt to watch the English woman organise tent, cooking, play songs to her on a mobile and laugh at her woeful attempts to sing in Nepali! Oh and take over the camera duties! (Pt2/2)

Dec 2018 ... Some days! Cutting through the jungle on 'roads' like these involves forgetting about pedaling and back to hauling and sweating and swearing for most of the way. (Pt1/2)

Dec 2018 ... And then back into the hustle and bustle of your average Nepali town with its auto rickshaws, motorbikes, trucks and buses all spewing out dust, fumes and mayhem. Add to this a couple of brightly coloured, very public marriage ceremonies with all the traditions they entail. Kotari town is very full of life.

Dec 2018 ... And then, for about an hour mid morning, just before I crest the ridge that will drop me back down onto the plains and well out of sight of the mountains... the clouds briefly disperse, Himalaya reveals herself and I gaze in awe at the far off snowcapped glories of that famous range.
