Feels like that at a drop of a feather my yoga retreat is now over - this pic symbolises the week I have had - peace, comfort and just as the feather has its protective layer from the rain I have an extra layer of resilience to what comes next 🫶

What a Saturday! We welcomed 44 people to Breakfast Buddies — and it feels like the word really is getting out there.

For those who might not know, Breakfast Buddies in Maidstone provides a warm, nutritious breakfast every Saturday at 10 am, in a safe, welcoming space.
We’re all about more than just food — dignity, connection, mutual respect.

Seeing new faces, hearing stories, and having deep conversations over a hot meal or a drink — it reminds me why we do this.

To everyone who came, to every volunteer who showed up, and to those spreading the word — thank you. Let’s keep building this, together.

I'm joining a team for the Moonlit Walk on 4th October to help raise vital funds for the wonderful Heart of Kent Hospice.
This local charity offers such compassionate support to our community - some of you will know firsthand the comfort and care they provide during life's most difficult moments.
If you are able to donate, even a small amount would mean so much. Every contribution helps Heart of Kent continue their incredible work, and I'd be deeply grateful for your support.

Thank you for helping us shine a little light in the dark 🌟

Another fabulous day at the office ... love bumping into a local who knows the area and its history and present day changes - really brings the area alive for us, especially when they guide us into the unknown (to us) but easily missed parts ...
Love my job 💚

I first came across the 'Velveteen Rabbit' when I was training with the Center for Mindful Self-Compassion teacher training (a long and intense journey) ...
"Becoming real ..."

"You become. It takes a long time. That’s why it doesn’t happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in your joints and very shabby.
But these things don’t matter at all, because once you are Real you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand."
Margery Williams -The Velveteen Rabbit, 1922.

What a wonderful evening of "finding the nature within you" through mindfulness, forest therapy and all things bats. We had a lovely visitor join our circle - a little toad - a symbol of life, death and rebirth ... how special.
Thank you to all that came, and to Steve at Vinters Valley Nature Reserve
for inviting me to guide, a lovely way to spend my Friday evening
