I like to think of this as befriending my task-master ego's idea that I need to be busy overdoing by saying 'thanks for sharing' and then tuning into my wise best friend self for some kind encouragement to practice wise self care, including listening to what my body needs, and balancing wise activity with rest and relaxation. My ‘task master’ voice can be loud with comments like, ‘It is lazy to spend too much time resting and relaxing,' and 'Prioritising my own needs means that I am neglecting the needs of others. How untrue. When I tune into my wise self, I am reminded that it is neither lazy nor selfish to take time out and there is no need to feel guilty or unworthy about taking a break to refuel. Taking time to rest, replenish and take breaks ensures that I recover and have something to share with others and makes me more pleasant to be around. Running on empty, with nothing to give, benefits no one. Taking this time to rest and recover doesn't prevent anyone else from doing the same; I have not taken an opportunity for a break from them by taking one myself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/699fa373078686263f36e057/543651bb-4cc6-43b4-b505-971ed8476110/b030e9b1-150b-1d7e-f598-084a6a31281e.png Blog - Befriending Busy - So, by being my own best friend and giving myself the encouragement, reassurance and support I need, I am ready to put that wisdom into action to practice wise self care. With wisdom I can then transform busy unwise activity into wise self-care. https://www.mareeallanfowler.com/maree-allan-fowler-blog/befriending-fear monthly 0.5 2026-10-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/699fa373078686263f36e057/aabccf1e-1919-4fae-995b-f5e32a439a27/Blog4.png Blog - Befriending Fear https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/699fa373078686263f36e057/34ed57c4-55ac-4165-8153-72fcdb7ecfbb/b030e9b1-150b-1d7e-f598-084a6a31281e.png Blog - Befriending Fear https://www.mareeallanfowler.com/maree-allan-fowler-blog/happy-mothers-day monthly 0.5 2026-10-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/699fa373078686263f36e057/0b6165d8-92b3-4576-a459-9e31ed7a5bf5/Blog3.png Blog - Happy Mother’s Day - During my cancer road trip, I have been overwhelmed—in the best possible way—by the motherly kindness and care extended to me. I am beyond words grateful for the kindness of staff at Cabrini—medical, domestic and volunteer—as well as friends and family, and the café, shop, post office, medical centre and reception workers. Beautiful mothering energy in action everywhere. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/699fa373078686263f36e057/55e81423-6a13-4b4b-8201-ef4cd587ba6e/3a760965-3a2c-1782-11e6-60d597efcafe.png Blog - Happy Mother’s Day - I was then reminded by my friend Shadi that as our spiritual and emotional feet grow—in wisdom, love, compassion, kindness, positive self-perception and self-assurance—we outgrow our old boots. It is then that we need new boots to accommodate our bigger feet. I love this reframe. Also a check in with my intention for writing the book is useful. I am sharing what has been helpful to me, in the sincere hope that it will help others navigate life's inevitable ups and downs, and lead to happier and more meaningful life. https://www.mareeallanfowler.com/maree-allan-fowler-blog/heartfelt-homebaked-wisdom-pkxt3 monthly 0.5 2026-10-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/699fa373078686263f36e057/7e82618b-d308-4cf8-921d-ce0542261817/Screenshot+2026-10-27+at+9.30.25%E2%80%AFpm.png Blog - A Heartfelt Thank You - Last weekend I was thankful to be very well cared for by my daughter Alice and her partner Dan.

One such situation is the frequent need for me to make toilet trips with my 'IV pole'. This image is depicting my 'IV pole dancing' efforts as I dance my way to and from the Cabrini loo. The chemo drugs have to be flushed through with one litre of saline, two times. So there are lots of opportunities to dance my IV pole to and from the loo. https://www.mareeallanfowler.com/maree-allan-fowler-blog/heartfelt-homebaked-wisdom monthly 0.5 2026-10-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/699fa373078686263f36e057/20959a67-3d8d-468b-b801-6be3c04f2f45/Screenshot+2026-10-27+at+4.13.40%E2%80%AFpm.png Blog - Heartfelt Homebaked Wisdom - My 'befriending bladder cancer' road trip is traveling well too. Cindy and I have been meeting at 4W at Cabrini on my chemo days to work on the book. This has been a great project to work on together at this time. Cindy has been a wonderful supportive friend on both my road trips and has done a beautiful job of formatting the book and so much more. I am so thankful to have her in my life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/699fa373078686263f36e057/1793078207891-JJF1F6DFNA6A3PH24D7F/24183014-6719-f71d-3653-1a46d833d5ec.jpg Blog -
