The woman on the left was running on empty.

When my teaching career collapsed in 2016, I wrote these words in my journal: "slow down to the speed of Grace."

And I thought, what the bloody hell does that mean?

Ten years of listening later, I'm the woman on the right: life coach and death doula, celebrant and poet, writer of Slowing Down to the Speed of Grace.

Everything I've done in the last ten years has been a surprise to me, as I explore what it means to make the most of this one wild and precious life.

If your eyes fill with tears when you hear Mary Oliver's "You do not have to be good," come and say hello. You're my kinda gal.
