The bags are packed (quite likely overpacked), the lists are crossed (I’m sure I’ve forgotten something), the kids are prepped (I’m worried they’ll get homesick) and Sat and I have hardly had a moment to ‘check-in’ between admin, renting out our home and getting the business in order.
People have shared so many lovely wishes (thanks guys) and I’ve been asked if I’m excited about the ‘extended trip’ but honest answer is not yet. It’s been relentless. Honestly, right now, I’m feeling truly grateful for a wonderful and supportive family and friends and, the opportunity to travel… but I’m also feeling bewildered.
This is ‘part 3’ for me. I traveled on my own in my early 20s, with Sat in our early 30s and now at 39, we’re taking our kids (4 and 7) away… A huge leap and a very different kind of travel. I anticipate great joy, wonder and lessons ahead for all of us. I just pray for good health and for each day to be received as a true gift.
Will keep you posted and will share more on the packing process, getting ‘the house in order’ and managing a young family.
Thanks for stopping by! I’ll post some pics when figure out how!
All me love, Rx

Hello and welcome!
Rewriting stars is a window into my world and a continuously evolving platform. I share my experiences and aspirations and hope that you will find something that sparks you.
It started off as a site where I'd plug my yoga teaching schedule alongside insights from my practice and later became a space (or 'placeholder') where I had the great intentions of being one of those cool traveller mums who blogs, homeschools, does yoga and everything else. Unfortunately I got swept away! The travelling did happen and so did the yoga (sometimes!) but the homeschooling became ‘unschooling’ and the blogging became living in the moment... We spent 9 months on the road in total, travelling from Mexico to Peru and Thailand to India. It was an immense blessing (especially since we’re still in Lockdown here in the UK) and we created tonnes of magical memories for which I'm forever-grateful for.
We returned home to St Albans, nearly two years ago and now this little site is going to be a space where share my work experience and skills… I'm currently half-way through my UX diploma and the goal is to be part of a purposeful organisation that delivers net positive gains to the word and one that allows me to contribute by developing functional, emotional and frictionless experiences that move people - and sell.
