Thought for Sunday: February bitter cold hit this week, wind from the Baltic , as my dad used to say, that goes straight through you, chilling your bones . One thing with walking on crutches, you don’t move any where fast so you feel the intensity. In heavy rain , a very kind and well meaning friend offered me an umbrella which was very kind and in realisation , we actually shared a moment of uproarious laughter when we then discussed where I was going to put it . I let you think about that one for a minute .

Every year I choose a word for the year, to give me a base energy. Last year was adapt. How spot on that was,when it became so pertinent in my life after my MS diagnosis.

This year I had thought it was flourish, evolve but no, no where near.

This year’s word is Joy.

After a difficult few years, this year is time to grab life and fly. I’m beyond lucky to have so many amazing friends, a caring and supportive family, brilliant work colleagues - no matter the challenge, I’m looking at the Joy that resides everywhete. I’ve always been a positive person but now I’m finding new activities, new challenges, new perspectives and bringing joy to them all.

What’s your word for this year? And how will you make it come to life?

Time to mar it really rock! And keep your eye on the target 🎯

Thought for Sunday: The sun returned for a couple of days, cold, crisp and sunny . Sunlight pouring in the windows, warming the house, as if returning from a long vacation. So welcome and embracing, like a long awaited and needed hug.

It reminded me that it’s the sometimes unnoticed, unexpected things in life that make an important impact. That we may think of as small, that we take for granted, that might go past without realising , if we don’t stop and look.

A kind gesture, a hug, a smile, a messsge, a phone call , all just to say Hi, checking in, how are you? You matter to me and I’m grateful for you, can change a life.

Be there for each other today, everyone is walking a different path, and everyone has their challenges.

Thought for Sunday : Ever sleep in and sleep so deeply that you wake up more tired than when you went to bed? Think I’m still asleep now !

I wonder if we realise sometimes, that we are going through a whole day asleep? Not noticing the world around us, focused on the task and not being present Not seeing or hearing friends and conversations. Being numb to them , caught up in our own challenges.

Being awake and consciously in the present is a much healthier and more rewarding place to be, pull yourself out from your inner focus and notice the amazing world and people around you. Fill yourself with gratitude for all the wonderful things to be grateful for, a beautiful sunrise, the sound of rain, honk of geese flying over, a crackling fire, a welcome message, a friend with a smile and a listening ear, laughter, joy…

Have the courage today to look around you, be grateful, feel love in everything you see, including yourself.

It takes courage to love,

While rivers of love and courage pass by unnoticed” Charlie Mackesy

Thought for Sunday: This week brought change, storms blew in rattling the windows in the dead of night, cold chilling to your bones making us grateful for solid houses, warm hearths and modern comforts.

As the light grows longer and stronger each day, and today, the day of the Snow Full Moon and of the Celtic Quarter Festival of Imbolc, celebrating the coming of spring, I took an early walk around my garden, delighting in snowdrops, crocuses, the promise of daffodils and the clear indication of new buds on the bushes and trees.

Life may look as if nothing is changing but all around us, hidden, life is evolving.

We desire things in our life but desiring keeps them in our heads, in our dreams. What we need is to make our desires, intentions.

Set your intentions for your life, be brave don’t settle, face the challenges and make authentic actions to live fully.

Life was made for a living

What intentions can you make for this year? Put the actions in place and make them happen they don’t need to be big or groundbreaking what they need to be as yours. This isn’t selfish because in living your authentic actions you will inspire others and your light will shine so brightly that the world will smile

Come home to your authentic self this year and live with passion and flourish.
