The Naked Soul Feminist

Guys, it seems for some I need to set the record straight so, in case you had any doubt, you rock. I have my eyes open even more now than ever before to the injustice that being female can leave women open to, from a place of deciding to empower myself. But this does not [...]

A Valentine To Myself

This last year has been so much about change and growth. It is all good change, if at times challenging and heart wrenching. The little me that used to be outwardly bolshie to protect herself and inwardly scared to be what she wanted to be, no longer feels the need to pretend and is being [...]

Lessons of Being a Naked Soul

It’s assignment time again and I can’t wait to breathe a sigh of relief when the barrage of deadlines is done. It is tough working enough hours in a low paid job to pay the bills and also making the grade. Too much investment goes in to financial juggling and it takes away from the [...]

Girl Power and the Start of 2013

This is my last post of 2012 and it’s a taste of what will be in 2013. This year has been one of the most exciting and also challenging times of my life, yet here I am; de-cluttered, single, free and most of the time rather happy. This was the year I found my path [...]

Paving Another Road

I am nursing a bit of a post lunch party hangover if that’s what you call it and walking round the house in my leopard print onesie (if one must wear ridiculous house wear then at least it is glamorous!). I have been burning the candle a little too much at both ends but it [...]

Hatch, Match and Despatch.

A couple of weeks ago I woke up to a Facebook news stream revealing that a guy I knew and liked had died of cancer. Amazing how we find things out, but I would not otherwise have known. I didn’t see him often but I had a lot of time for him. He was just a regular [...]

What is Love Anyway?

I am traumatised. Well, OK maybe it’s not that bad as I am smiling while I write, but stirred up for sure. This week’s social psychology lectures about romantic love and attraction, as well as being amusing, were mildly disturbing, but in a cathartic way. It’s made me think and the thinking is a revelation, [...]

The Evolution of a Story

I have just spent the last two days nursing the headache from hell thanks to my flu jab. It’s better now, but the thing I hate about any kind of feeling ill is having to slow down. Being a middle aged (did I say that?!) woman I suppose what I managed when I was eighteen [...]

An Encounter With A Leopard – Naked Soul Art

It’s been a while but I’m back and with a vengeance. A temporary diversion, an encounter with a leopard took me to places I no longer find appealing and so I am back and here to stay, lessons learned. I am asking a lot of questions right now and maybe that is what has been [...]

Synchrodestiny – Naked Soul Art

It’s been a while since I have blogged and so here it is. Life is moving along nicely and doors are opening everywhere. Have you ever felt that everything comes at the right time? I often do but I also realise that I move my life along by taking the right action, feeling the fear [...]

Age Is a Number

I had a birthday yesterday. Unlike many of my friends, I love them. My mum always used to bake me a favourite homemade cake and that memory is one that sticks. My childhood was not an easy one so I choose to carry this as a happy memory. So I started the day with my [...]

My Path To Realisation

I have just spent weeks researching and writing an essay on depression. I don’t know how good it is yet, just submitted, but I have learned so much in the process. I’ve been there, luckily never too darkly and somewhere in me is a little spark that jump starts me, whatever it is I have [...]

The Art of Manifestation

So what did I learn in March? It seems rather a lot! Two years ago I started planning a body painting project and never went ahead. I liked the guy I was going to collaborate with yet something didn’t quite work and so I shelved it temporarily. At that time my business was paying my [...]

The Search for Naked Souls

A while ago, I decided that using a human body as a canvas was a fantastic idea. I did some training in Israel with a body painter and special effects expert, Dubi Preger and carried on my training here in the UK with Carolyn Roper. How amazing to paint a picture on skin and transform a [...]

Live Life Now!

Sometimes we are so busy worrying about the past or the future that we forget to enjoy what is happening right now. Thanks to Michelle Dewberry for this little reminder!   Monique x

Life’s Little Pleasures

Many of us take for granted that we live in a society with so much and yet, it’s possible to live on so much less. It’s also a revelation to discover how something small or simple can be a treat when you have to live on a shoestring. We live, as Madonna says, in a [...]

A Month of Firsts

February is ending and it has been a month of firsts for me, a breath of fresh air. Mornings are getting lighter and I can feel spring around the corner. So, let’s rewind a little. I’ve always wanted to do what I am doing now but it was never the time. Or maybe I never [...]
