Wood anemones
often called windflowers
are one of the first signs of spring in woodland.

They open with the light
and close again as it fades…
moving with the rhythm of the day.

What looks like a simple carpet of flowers
can take years to form
spreading slowly, quietly, beneath the trees.

Nature doesn’t rush its return.
And neither do we have to.

Sometimes it’s enough
to simply notice
what’s beginning again around us 🐾🌿

Bearfoot-note 🐾✏️

Windflowers follow the light
opening and closing with the day.

Nature moves in rhythms…
and so can we.

I wasn’t paying attention.

And quite literally…
head met pavement.

There was that looooong moment
of trying to save myself
negotiating with gravity…
until I realised…
this is happening 🤕

Someone saw 🫣

Someone many might pass by without a second glance.

He reached out. Tried to catch me…
but didn’t quite manage the save.

He stayed.
Noticed I’d hit my head.
Made sure I was steady.

And there I was…
in my 'Trauma Support' uniform…
being cared for
by someone I might usually be supporting on ward.

A quiet role reversal.

A simple reminder…
Care doesn’t belong to roles or titles.
It lives in people.

Yesterday was mindful.
Today was messy.

Bearfoot-note 🐾✏️

Mindfulness isn’t a constant state
it comes and goes with the rhythm of being human.

Some moments we notice.
Some moments we don’t.
And sometimes, life quite literally knocks us down.

What matters is not perfection…
but the moments of connection we find along the way.

Sometimes the pause isn’t ours to choose.
Sometimes it’s the dog…
stopping to admire the view.

Cartwright Hall has stood watch over Lister Park for over a century... a place of art, history, and quiet reflection.

Surrounded by trees, water, and open sky, it reminds us that beauty isn’t always hidden deep in the forest…

sometimes it’s right here, in our shared spaces, waiting for us to notice.

Spring arriving slowly... steadily.
Buds opening.
Light returning.
The earth remembering its rhythm.

Noticing small signs of seasonal change: buds, light, birdsong, gently brings our attention back into the present moment.

Spring is beginning to stir and it feels like the right time to start gathering again.

'Bearfoot Pop-Up at the Pond' is a gentle guided hour outdoors... a chance to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with nature and each other.

Our time together will include:

• arriving and settling
• a short guided breath to awaken the senses
• a slow wander around the pond
• a closing circle and tea

The path is accessible and we move at an unhurried pace. No hiking, no pressure... just a calm hour in nature.

This is a small community gathering, free to attend while the sessions take shape.

📍 Coppice Pond, St Ives Estate, Bingley
⏱ Around 60 minutes

And Mindful Mondays are back too!
📍 Hirst Wood Nature Reserve, Shipley
⏱ Around 60 minutes, once a month

If you’d like to join, send me a message and I’ll share further details.

International Women’s Day

Strong women.
Wild water.

2025 trip to Iceland,
good friends
beneath an endless horizon.

Laughing.
Breathing.
Simply being there together.

Moments like this remind me
of the quiet strength carried by women everywhere.

In care.
In resilience.
In the way we hold one another up.

Today I’m feeling incredibly grateful
for amazing friends.

And to the women who continue to grow,
support, nurture and rise together...
today celebrates you🐾🌿

And yes…
I think I might need another trip to Reykjavik 🇮🇸
