🥀Over the past month I have been sharing a weekly affirmation card from either Gabrielle Bernstein or Tosha Silver in The Soul Sanctuary Facebook group. I noticed over the weeks that there was similar wording and colours. I thought it was worth having a look for patterns. I told the group I would write about […]

💐In the Summer I made a pact with myself to honour the seasons more. It wasn’t really a case of being one with nature but the inspiration we can take from each season and what we can learn from them. This year where there has been so much uncertainty we know that the seasons will […]

At times I feel I have been living two lives. My life at work that has been distressing, traumatic, fraught with anxiety, fear with poignant moments of human fragility being so clear to see.

This week I started a Winter writing course. I thought it was a great opportunity to leave my working world behind me whilst I am on leave. It feels good to lose myself in something else. For the warm up exercise I wrote a poem about Winter. I love all the seasons really I don’t […]

Every year I plant seeds in the spring for summer flowering. I gain so much joy from watching them grow and when I plant, I plant with intention and imagine each seed being a positive intention for the future. I have a mantra running through my mind…. “Spring we sow, Summer we grow, Autumn we […]
