✨I am now on the seasonal break returning January 2026 - a new year ✨
As I look forward to a much needed moment of restoration, I wish the same for you all and leave you with these words from the inspiring Donna Ashworth 🙏🏻💖✨

🙌🏻 RESTING IS DOING

If only we could see the power in rest.
If only we could attach to it, the worth it so deserves.
If only we could open our minds to the idea, that everything in nature has its time to rise and its time to descend.
That each of these acts is just a important as the other.
And that is exactly as it must be.
If only we could see the courage it takes to lay aside the worries, the fears and the comparison, just for a few hours, to let the mind, spirit and body come together again.
Doing the one thing they all require so much… nothing.
If only we could see the power in rest.
Because resting is very much doing.

Boundaries can feel very uncomfortable when you start to exercise them - never forget the honour you are showing yourself 🙏🏻

The people with the biggest hearts attract the most draining, disloyal, disrespectful and difficult people.

💡 “The 16 days may end, but our activism cannot. Every day must be a day against violence.”

Thank you to everyone who engaged with and shared our posts over the past 16 days. This is not the end of the fight against domestic abuse; it is only the beginning.

If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic abuse, please reach out to one of the groups doing important work in the Bracknell Forest area.

🗣️I hear you loud and clear, all together now …

‘Christmas fu***ng sucks’

💰 Financial pressure
🤯 Stressful
😔 Loneliness and isolation
🤐 Spending time with people you love but don’t always like
😢 Reminders of loved ones lost
🍺🍫 Having to face triggers for addictions
🥳 The expectation of society that it is a happy time of year
⛓️ Feeling trapped in an unhappy or abusive relationship
🪩 The ‘socials’ when we find them draining, in-authentic or terrifying
🛒 Too many people in the shops
🚗 The road-rage
🎶 The never ending Xmas music

Shall I go on? 🤯

I hear you, Christmas sucks so why does everyone comply? It’s complex - but it’s ok to say no, to be unique, to do YOUR thing and if you feel unable to - then plan space for YOU somehow. 🧘🏻‍♀️😮‍💨

Sending you peace 🙏🏻

Empower vs Rescue 🛟

It’s not your job to make someone more of themselves. It’s not your responsibility to fix their broken parts, fill their empty spaces, or complete the pieces they refuse to work on. You can love someone, support them, encourage them, but you cannot build a whole person out of someone who isn’t willing to grow on their own.

Too many times we exhaust ourselves trying to be the glue, the healer, the strength, the inspiration for people who haven’t even decided to meet us halfway. We pour love into voids they won’t acknowledge, and we give energy to souls who haven’t learned how to hold themselves up. And it hurts because it leaves you feeling like no matter how much you give, it will never be enough.

The truth is, everyone has to choose their own growth. Everyone has to face their own shadows. You can walk with someone, but you cannot walk for them. You can care deeply, but you cannot carry someone who refuses to stand.

So let go of the idea that you need to complete anyone. You don’t. Love is not about filling someone’s emptiness. It is about two whole people choosing each other, not depending on each other to feel whole. You deserve that kind of love, not the kind that drains you, but the kind that meets you where you are and grows with you.
