Our world has lost a truly courageous and beautiful woman today. Dr Jane Goodall - primitologist and zoologist - but above all, a trail-blazer (especially for the era she'd come from), a gentle soul, intelligent and passionate about this earth we call home. What a life she's lived and how many lives she's touched! One of my heroines.

Rest well, beautiful soul. May you forever fly evermore with your well-earned angel wings

Father's Day blessings from down under! As a migrant, I get to wish my own Dad Happy Father's Day twice a year, as Father's Day falls on a different day in my country of origin, which I think is pretty cool!

To all who identify as a father, bereaved fathers, animal Dads, and Dads who are no longer with us... whatever and wherever your journey is in life, may you feel loved and so very blessed today 💕

Do you know that there's a memorial tree at Lake Wendouree here in Ballarat where the names of those who have passed by suicide can be honoured? Tucked in a beautiful and tranquil spot within The Peace Mile, surrounded by nature and calm is this beautiful tree.

While there's only one name there at present, I hope this tree brings some comfort and a sense of feeling less alone for those whose lives have forever been touched by suicide.

If you're experiencing suicidal thoughts, please know that there is help out there. Call a crisis helpline... there's always someone at the other end of the line who can offer support. Reach out to family and friends if you can. Talk to your therapist or doctor.

If you have sadly lost a loved one or beloved friend through suicide, please know that you're not alone, and please also reach out for support if you need to.

Sending love and light to those whose lives have been touched by suicide 💟

Grief doesn’t simply pass with time; it reshapes you.
At first, it fills every corner of your life, leaving no space for anything else.
But slowly, you begin to grow around it.

Grief does not vanish, it remains, a part of you,
but your life expands to hold both the sorrow
and the possibility of joy again.

You are not who you were before the loss;
you are someone new,
carrying the weight of love in a different form.

Grief changes your heart, your priorities,
and the way you see the world,
not by erasing the pain,
but by teaching you how to live alongside it.

~ 'Growing Around Grief' by Spirit of a Hippie (Mary Anne Byrne)

~ Art by A Therapist Surviving Suicide

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Indeed, as Lois Tonkin (1996), who spoke about growing around grief says, grief doesn't get smaller. Instead, grief stays the same size. Life simply, gradually, slowly and with time, grows around it.

To me, this is a beautiful concept as it not only honours our grief of a significant beloved's loss (or for some, several), it also gives hope that we have the capacity to expand our hearts so that even as we continue to carry that loss, we are reminded that love remains and we eventually create a life that hugs that grief and which gives us meaning.

If you're grieving at this moment, I'm sending you my hugs. May you be gentle with yourself

Solstice blessings! Winter solstice blessings to those of us living in the southern hemisphere and summer solstice blessings to our norther counterparts!

Regardless of where you are and what you're doing right now, the invitation is to find a moment to take a pause and breathe. Take time to rest if you're able to, and given that we're halfway into 2025, this might also be a good time to do some reflection of your year thus far.

Check in with your inner world, particularly with all the chaos going on in the world right now. If you're feeling similarly in a state of chaos within, take some time to ground and re-center yourself, and reflect on what you might be able to do that is within your personal capacity to detach from some of that chaos. For example, if you're feeling the weight of the world events, it might be helpful to switch off the TV or the news or take a break from social media for a while, at least for today. Meditate if this feels comfortable for you, coming back to your breath and heart space. If you're so called to do so, send out some love and peace from your heart to the world. Spend some time in nature if you're able to, or simply take that well-deserved nap.

Most of all, wherever you may be in the world, enjoy this day. May your day be filled with peace and magic.

Solstice blessings to all
