A friend posted this and it made me think of all the warrior women I work with in my practice. This one’s for you! Happy Saturday Warriors💪🏻💓
____________________________
They’d heard she was a warrior.

And so they pictured her fresh from the fight - with flowing hair and dirt etched on her face. With fitted armour and a sword in her hand.

What they hadn’t realised was that she looked like the woman stood next to them in the supermarket. With messy hair and hurt etched on her face. With creased jeans and a coffee in her hand.

Because she’d been fighting a battle they knew nothing about. And even though it didn’t look like much of a victory to them, it really was.

That she was there. She was fighting. She was strong.

And no matter what she, or the battle, or the victory might have looked like to anyone else,
the fact remained…

She was a warrior.

Most people believe meditation means stopping thoughts.
That’s why they sit down, close their eyes… and feel like they’re failing within seconds.

The mind starts racing.
Plans appear.
Memories surface.
Worries knock loudly.

And people conclude: “I can’t meditate.”

But here’s the truth 👇

Meditation is not about forcing the mind to go blank.
It’s about changing your relationship with your thoughts.

At first, the mind is noisy — and that’s not a problem.
That noise was always there; you’re just noticing it for the first time.

Then something subtle happens: You stop fighting the thoughts.
You stop chasing them.
You stop believing every story they tell.

You begin to observe without reacting.

Thoughts still arise —
but they no longer own you.
They pass like clouds, while you remain the sky.

With time, the mind naturally settles.
Not because you controlled it,
but because you stopped interfering.

And in that quiet awareness: • Clarity replaces confusion
• Peace replaces restlessness
• Presence replaces overthinking

Meditation is not about thinking less.
It’s about being less controlled by thinking.

Sit.
Breathe.
Observe.
Let go.

The calm you’re searching for
isn’t something you create —
it’s something you uncover.

A little girl from Alabama made a handmade sign for the Walk for Peace. It has a stop sign on it that reads "Kindness starts here." It also says "Good character counts" and "Friends respect good choices."

The Buddhist monks, who are walking 2,300 miles across America for peace, were filled with gratitude. They said, "Seeing such heartfelt support from young children fills our journey with a special kind of hope. It reminds us all that the future of peace is in such gentle, good hands."

If you have a few minutes on this New Year’s Eve, please read this beautiful poem by writer, Donna Ashworth. I wish you love, peace, self-compassion and self-acceptance over the year ahead. Happy New Year to you and yours🙌
Big love for my family, friends and all the beautiful women I have the honour of working with. I’m so blessed to have you in my life🌟
Lisa💓🦋💫
________________________
On the stroke of midnight tonight,
you can resolve to be better, if you like…
to be fitter,
to eat cleaner,
to work harder.

On the stroke of midnight tonight,
you can resolve to become a whole new you,
if you so choose.

Or, you can take a moment to acknowledge
what you already are.
Because it’s a lot.
You are a lot.

And you deserve to be truly seen.

On the stroke of midnight tonight,
perhaps you could congratulate yourself for coping.
For breaking, again,
for rebuilding, again.

For catching the stones life has thrown at you,
and using them to build your castle
that little bit more beautifully.

And if you have used those stones to block yourself in for the ‘heal’, perhaps you can realign them this year. Make a grander gate, not a higher wall.

You have endured, my friend.
Through times you thought unendurable.
You did.

And I don’t see the need to resolve
to become a whole new you,
when you are already so very much indeed.

Happy new year.

You made it.

Now let us face another 365 day-turn together,
arms wide…
accepting, embracing and ‘seeing’ one other,
for all we truly are…

breaks and all.
~Donna Ashworth

As another new year approaches, I always try to spend a few quiet moments reflecting on any fears, habits, beliefs, or patterns that don’t really serve me anymore. Once I have my list (and it’s usually a long one haha), I focus on letting them all go. 🍂
Letting go creates space for new intentions, fresh energy, and growth. So if you can, take a moment to pause. Breathe deeply. Imagine yourself shedding the old and stepping into 2026 lighter, freer, and more aligned with the energies of your truest self.
Let’s all walk into the new year more open-hearted, clear-minded, and ready to thrive. 💫
Happy New Year!
With love and gratitude,
Lisa🩷🙏🏻✨

As the year draws to a close, I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude. It’s an honour to walk alongside you on your journey — through your challenges, growth, and healing. Thank you for trusting me with your stories, your struggles, and your hopes.

I know this season can be joyful for some and difficult for others. Wherever you find yourself this Christmas, I hope you can offer yourself kindness and compassion. May you find moments of peace, connection, and rest.

With love and gratitude,
Lisa💓🙏🏻🎄

On this Winter Solstice, the longest night and shortest day of the year, we’re reminded of the beauty in stillness and the power of letting go. 🌙✨

This is a time to rest, reflect, and make space for new beginnings. As the light slowly returns, may we embrace the possibility of growth and renewal.

Here’s to honoring the quiet and trusting the journey ahead. ❄️
