Bali’s Hindu culture continues to teach me so much to lead with kindness, to love without judgement, and to understand that everyone is carrying something unseen.

Gratitude has become my daily ritual, not because life is perfect, but because I’ve learned it’s fragile… and nothing is promised.

Take the CHANCE. Speak the TRUTH. Even if it doesn’t go the way you imagined, when you honour your heart, you sleep WITHOUT regret.

A woman can never have too many shoes or so the story goes…

In truth, this post isn’t really about shoes (although hello to these new beauties from Zara at Beachwalk Bali, my version of “winter sandals” because anything fully enclosed just feels like foot prison 😅).

It’s more about listening to your inner rhythm.

I’m heading home in a few weeks, and everyone keeps reminding me “It’s freezing.” And maybe in the past, I’d have let that chill get to my body, mind, and mood.
But I’ve made a soul-deep choice, I don’t do freezing.
I do SUN-chasing.
I do JOY.
I do a LIFE that feels warm in every way.

So, a girl gets herself ready. Prepped. Equipped. Not just for the weather but for the version of herself she’s choosing to show up as with a heart open and spirit light.

And these shoes? They’re my happy medium. A bridge between where I’ve been and where I’m going. I even ‘zunzuned’ them, a Maltese tradition my Dad always encouraged. It means wearing something for the first time and LOVING it. So of course I wore them out to meet family and friends at full hearts, way too much food, delicious bubbles, and deep belly laughs.

That night? It reminded me how beautiful the present feels when you actually live in it.

💃I’m a happy woman, in flow, with feet a little more covered and a soul still wide open.

How are you feeling today?
Talk to me. I’m all ears and way more heart 🤍

Today, I witnessed two beautiful souls take a PAUSE from social media and I am posting to applaud their COURAGE.

It takes so much heart not to mention the time to show up online and share your passion. Once upon a time, that effort was seen, heard, and thanked.
Now?
Many have become numbers. And the saddest part? Algorithms decide what’s worthy of you seeing, which means many of the most heartfelt, meaningful posts… are never even seen.

I’ll be honest, like I am ALWAYS, I’ve questioned continuing too. Coming back, I’ve wondered…Is it worth it?

So here’s a gentle reminder…
If there’s a page that uplifts you, teaches you, comforts or inspires and empowers you, let them know.
Tap the heart. Leave a comment. Share their post. It might seem small, but it means the world.

Otherwise, this space risks becoming just a shopping platform.
And I still believe it can be so much more if we all come together!

Sometimes, it’s much harder to close a door than it is to open a new one, even when they are so BEAUTIFUL and you think they’re perfect!

Why? Because as they say… “better the devil you know.” But is it really?

I’d been wanting to close a particular door for a long time. But when I paused, fear crept in even deeper. The longer I stayed in limbo, the more disconnected I felt from myself. But the moment I began to come back to me, more present, more clear, I knew it was time.

Yes, the fear lingered… right up until I heard the latch click.
But I haven’t looked back.

Now I’m sitting at Melbourne Airport, Bali bound, heart full of excitement to reunite with the building team for my Uma La Lang Villas and finally bring these beauties to life. I can almost feel the warm air on my skin, hear the hum of my scooter, and taste the morning coffee shared with dear friends.

It’s back to outdoor living, breakfast, lunch, and dinner under the sky. Massages. Sunset walks. Sacred offerings. And yes, work too. But with joy woven into every hour.

If you’ve been thinking of closing a door, take that as your invitation.
Start small. Research. Connect. Visualise.
We’re so blessed to have access to so much guidance and support.

There are still a few more doors I need to close… and a few exciting ones waiting to open.

What about you?
Is there a door you’re ready to close or one you’re aching to open?

HAPPY Birthday to Me 🎈

This birthday feels different. Not because of the number, but because of the KNOWING.
It’s no longer about the age I’m turning, though I wear 55 with pride and grace.
It’s about the DEPTH.
The depth of LOVE, of GRATITUDE, of CONNECTION. The joy of waking up each morning and seeing how full life is when lived from the soul.

Today I honour the woman who chose me, my beautiful Mumma.
You, who rise each day with unwavering FAITH, even when your heart carries the weight of unimaginable loss.
You, who remind me that love doesn’t end, it TRANFORMS, it deepens, it expands.
Your strength, your grace, your ability to still laugh and love with your daughters…
That is the gift you’ve passed on to me.

Today I celebrate the Universe’s divine plan—55 years of life, love, lessons and laughter.
I love getting older. I love that every year brings more Courage, more Clarity, more Freedom to CHOOSE ME.

I beat my own drum now, not for attention, but for ALIGNMENT.
I’ve learned that when I follow JOY, everything and everyone around me FLOURISHES.
I no longer seek validation. I seek VIBRATION, a life that feels true, wild, and wise.

I’m raising a quiet, powerful toast to all the women who’ve PAUSED and RISEN AGAIN.
To those who nourish their mind, body, and soul, not as a trend, but as a truth.
And especially to my Mumma, 87 and glowing, who continues to show me how beautiful this DANCE of life can be.

So here’s to this new chapter.
To SACRED AGING.
To choosing love again and again.
To distance that never dilutes connection.
To Family, to Freedom, and to FAITH.

Happy Birthday to me!
And THANK YOU for being here with me in this moment. I feel you 🙏

And yes… I made the lemon and rosemary olive oil cake, recipe in Issue 17, zesty, and full of heart, to take to Mumma’s. A simple offering for a sacred moment. A celebration of fused souls, of generations of women bound by love, resilience, and the quiet power of choosing joy. It’s in these rituals, these shared slices of sweetness, that life whispers, you are exactly where you’re meant to be!

Wishing you all a BLESSED and BEAUTIFUL day 🥳

I’m sitting in a little café in Bali this morning, one of those small, soul-filled places buzzing with expats and tourists… and in here, the day of the week does not exist.

Honestly, if someone asked me what day it was, I’d have no clue. Turns out, it’s Saturday. Who even decided days of the week were a thing anyway?

And just as I was writing this, a song came on. One my beloved brother and I used to blast as kids running wild through Malta.

🎶 “Everybody let me tell you ’bout my love,
Brought to you by an angel from above…
Fully equipped with a lifetime guarantee…” 🎶

Cue tears feeling blessed and guided 😭 Because if you’d asked me years ago what my life goal was… it was this. Not having to know what day of the week it is.
Freedom, after years of school drop-offs, taxi-Mum duties, and business meetings during “office hours.”

And as I sit here checking social DM’s, I spot a little Fiat and it just radiated freedom and fun. These days, I zoom around on a Vespa instead, wind on my face, soaking in the beauty of Bali.

So here’s my question to you!

What would life look like if you didn’t live by the days of the week, but instead by the joy of simply living them well?

Just blurt out YOUR desires. I’d truly love to know. 💛

It’s amazing how, when you become truly present, you start to see life working for you.

Part of my rising journey, living life fully as ME has been about creating spaces (whatever they may look like) where my family can make memories around the world. That’s one of my deep soul intentions.

Well… fasten your seatbelt!

I booked a flight, but cut a long story short, I messed up the dates and ended up with a ticket for the wrong month. At first, I was trying to figure out how to fix it and not let it go to waste. But guess what? By default, my daughter ended up with the ticket.

And oh my gosh, did she LOVE that mess-up 😂

It was one of those moments where the universe gently nudged me and said, “Here you go, this is the life you’re building. It’s happening.”

And I FELT it. Pure memory-making MAGIC.

Motel Mexicola turns into a nightclub at a certain time, and we danced the night away!

My heart…FULL.

Thank you for an amazing night.

Friday Night Feels

A PINCH-ME moment…
Sitting in a space that whispers refined Italian cuisine, extraordinary cocktails, and exquisite decor, where you’re indoors, yet surrounded by the lush essence of Bali.

It’s surreal.
A place that blurs the line between here and elsewhere, between everyday and dreamscape.
My daughter beside me.
And my partner, though abroad, is completely with me in spirit.
We’re speaking the same language, dreaming the same dream, and building it together.
It’s actually beginning to happen.

Because living every moment is what this next chapter is about.
Not just existing, but fully, fearlessly living.
It’s bold, yes…but the reward?

LIFE-CHANGING!

, you are sophistication in every way. A beautiful dining experience, always.
Although next time, let’s chat about ‘al dente’, the pasta was divine, but I’m a little more “soft and silky” kind of girl!

How do you like your pasta cooked?

I look at the front of this magical shopfront, its painted flowers dancing across the walls like a joyful whisper. It made me pause.

I couldn’t help but wonder…
How much courage did it take for the owner to express themselves so boldly?

Was this their vision from day one, or did it bloom slowly, one brave brushstroke at a time?

Whatever the journey, it’s a beautiful reminder…
Every time we wait for permission, worry what others might think, or hold back our unique expression, we hand over our power.

The next issue of FIGS & FETA Magazine dives deep into this very idea.
How much of our freedom we give away each day without even noticing.

And how reclaiming it, quietly or boldly, can open the door to living what we truly desire.

Let this painted shopfront be your sign.
Your STYLE. Your VOICE. Your MAGIC.
It’s safe to show up as you.

To Every Mother And Every Soul on the Journey to Motherhood,

Today is not just a celebration, it’s a remembrance.

A reminder that we, too, are walking this path of life for the very first time. Just like our children, we are still discovering, still stumbling, still reaching for light in unknown places. And though we carry years of experience, we are forever students of life.

But oh, what a GIFT that is.

Because our experience, however imperfect, is the greatest gift we can offer. The courage we’ve quietly held, the choices we’ve made with trembling hearts, the love that has weathered storms… this is our legacy. This is what our children hold, even when we think we’ve fallen short.

To my own Mumma, at 87, still dreaming, still daring, still yearning to learn and live deeply, you show me that it’s never too late to take the next step. You are proof that the spirit never ages. Even as your heart aches for the sound of your son’s voice, you rise. You guide me with love, and in your grace, I find my own courage. You help me see that growing older can be sacred… and beautiful. I walk toward my 104th year because you still lead the way.

To my beautiful mother-in-law, now resting in Heaven, I will always be forever grateful for you. For your wisdom, your strength, and for the gift of your son. Without him, I would not have the two most beautiful girls who now carry your light within them. May you rest eternally, wrapped in peace, knowing you are always loved, always remembered, always part of us.

To those longing to become mothers, know that the desire alone holds divinity. You are already mothering through your love, your prayers, your hope. Let your soul be still. Return to your breath. Let your inner sanctuary be your place of peace.

And to the mothers whose children now live in another realm, I feel your ache. Today, and every day, I pray for your strength, your softness, your surrender. May grace wrap around you like a shawl of light.

Today is a beautiful day, not because it is perfect, but because it is REAL. It is sacred. It is ours.
