❤️For Those Of You Missing Your Dads on Father’s Day

If today feels hard, you’re not alone,
Grief has a quiet way—
Of showing up in memories
That linger on this day

He’s in your thoughts, your every day,
In all you do and say—
For those we love don’t disappear,
They’re with us, come what may

Though he may be gone from sight,
His love still lights your way—
A part of you, forever held,
Not just on Father’s Day ❤️

I had the pleasure of conducting my first Baby Naming Ceremony today for the most gorgeous wee boy, which included a Sand Ceremony. It was truly such a privilege to be a part of such a special day in this beautiful family’s life💙

A lovely poem for when you’re having one of “those” days ❤️

'The Mountain' by Laura Ding-Edwards

If the mountain seems too big today
then climb a hill instead;
If morning brings you sadness
it’s okay to stay in bed.

If the day ahead feels heavy and your plans feel like a curse,
There’s no shame in rearranging,
don’t make yourself feel worse.

If a shower stings like needles
and a bath feels like you’ll drown;
If you haven’t washed your hair for days,
don’t throw away your crown!

A day is not a lifetime.
A rest is not defeat.
Don’t think of it as failure,
Just a quiet, kind retreat.

It’s okay to take a moment
From an anxious, fractured mind.
The world will not stop turning
While you get realigned!

The mountain will still be there
When you want to try again
You can climb it in your own time,
Just love yourself till then❤️

I thought I’d share this lovely poem written by Lorna Gibson for those of you who may be struggling at this time of year ❤️

If Christmas is hard,
If you’ve lost someone dear.
Just look in your heart,
And you’ll know they’re still here.

The star in the sky,
The light falling snow.
The robin outside,
It seems like they know.

If this is a time,
When you’re struggling through.
Just do what you can,
For what matters, is you

There’s no need to be merry,
There’s no need to be bright.
Just do what you can,
It will all be alright.

Sending lots of love
Val❤️
