Charlotte Strawbridge

I started writing letters to the Universe a little over a year ago. It's been quite a journey. Having quit my job, left my flat and bought a camper-van, I headed off, and I've been writing about my personal journey ever since. I am looking forward, trying not to plan too much. I am learning to live in the now, after thirty years of living anywhere but. I am processing the past and letting it go. In this past year, I've had the joy of working as a Karma Yogi and the beautiful, and painful experience, of a ten day silent retreat. I've had time to ponder the strength of women, new ways of forgiving and forgetting, what it really means to surrender, the feeling of 'being' and how exciting peace can be, and so many other doubts and thoughts that popped up along the way. It's not always sunshine, love and frickin' rainbows... in fact, sometimes writing to the Universe really challenges me to go deep, be brutally honest (embarrassing and dark thoughts and all!) and I've found myself sharing some thoughts on topics that really hit home; grief, eating disorders and the pining for motherhood were tough. I write from the heart, from me to the Universe.
