Compassionate Panda

Sometimes you don’t know where a path will lead but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t give it a go. I’m on a new path right now and though I sometimes find it a bit unnerving, I am practicing being open and curious and taking each day as a step forward. After all, there is always something new to discover and learn along any path. Here’s to being open and curious in 2023 😊

My new therapy space here in Cairns. Quite a contrast to my last room in Hong Kong! Loving the peaceful vibe and friendly team. Looking forward to working here. 😊🙏 .com

Morning beach walks are remarkably effective at clearing the mind of excess mental ‘chatter’ and just being in the moment, absorbing all the sights and sounds. Mindfulness in action.

Another beautiful Queensland beach - feeling grateful to have places like this to enjoy 😊

If the world gives you lemons - make limoncello 😁

Enjoying a lazy walk by the water and this hibiscus grabs my eye - it’s just doing it’s thing. No more, no less. It am reminded to just be.

Hints of Aotearoa New Zealand abound in this image…ok, maybe not the whale in an orange sky but there are whales to be seen off the coast and the pink cascading slope - a reference to the Pink and White terraces and once considered the 8th wonder of the world before being lost to a volcanic eruption of Mount Tarawera in 1886. Art and history and a little surrealism all in one piece 😮 🤯

Found in a tucked away backstreet - an intriguing and slightly ethereal piece dating back to 2012. A reminder to look up as well as ahead - beauty is everywhere 😊

Beautiful blue sky day - grateful for simple things 🙏😊☀️

The smell of jasmine is intoxicating 😍 One of my favourite, if heady, scents to uplift the mood.

So.much.colour 😍 Hiding in plain sight on Auckland’s main drag. Keep painting the cities - brings joy to all 😊
