The month of February and its eclipse season has spoken the loudest in the quietest moments.
I almost wrote a post explaining why I’ve been quiet.
Almost apologised for being absent.
But if I’m going to show up honestly… then let’s just start there.
The last four weeks have been heavy. Deep family heartbreak & sadness of the kind you carry privately and quietly.
Then my li’l old Mum fell the following week, breaking her hip and her shoulder. She’s in hospital now but thankfully being transferred to our home town today. (Such a strong role model)
This week, I came down with a viral/covidesque infection that has completely wiped me out…..
Which means I haven’t been able to sit by her for the last week. I’ve only been able to speak to nurses, exchange messages and hope that she understands why I’m not there…..alongside hoping that she’s okay.
It’s simple. It’s hard. It’s life.
This season has felt like that for many people I’m speaking to - sudden situations, unexpected turns, emotional weight that arrived without warning. And yet… we handle it. We always do.
Through all of it, a close friend said something to me that keeps echoing:
“Faith or fear.”
Such a simple question.
Yet such a deep one.
When I’m conscious, I choose faith, hope, optimism, curiosity.
When I’m tired or overwhelmed, fear creeps in quietly.
So right now I’m keeping it simple. Small, micro movements and actions to help my body and mind recover without pressure, without pace.
Faith or fear - which am I serving today?
It’s not dramatic.
It’s not loud.
But it changes everything.
If this season has felt intense for you too, you’re not alone 🤍
