Thought for Sunday : At last time spent in the garden brought time in nature and connection to the Earth. I lit the firepit, drank wine, listened to bird song and cleansed away the past through the flames.

A blessed and contented day , meeting neighbours and friends at a plant sale and time spent with my daughter in harmony added to the moment.

When life becomes challenging, never forget the joy that comes from the foundations of life. Don’t look for the fancy, the big gestures. Look for the grounded, the thoughtful, the understanding, watch for those that get you at your core. They are your tribe.

Have a beautiful week,

Thought for Sunday: May is delivering, as it always tends to do. Dry days, sunshine, Bluebells in abundance and returning Swifts and Swallows fill the air.

Sometimes I think we can over complicate life. Actually all we need is to be grateful for all our blessings, our friends, live our own journey with trust and faith, live in the present and respect ourselves, others and all living things.

It’s not hard really.

Thought for Sunday: Awakening early this morning, the sound of pattering rain met me through my open window. The stretch of days of sunshine has broken and the earth receives sustenance. The rain is light and giving, almost like a sigh of relief. Calming, soothing, giving. Perhaps I should wash my face in the rain this morning, since I missed the dew at dawn on May Day!

This week has been brought together by laughter moments, a lightness filled my soul at times and eased the tension of the last weeks. Laughter is the best medicine.

It’s been just over four months since my wee stay in HDU and I feel that at last, this month, I’m coming out of the woods.

During this time, a lot of reflection and high and low moods have challenged me. In reframing my thought processes,trying to understand the challenges, I found the positive to be to look at every challenge that has been thrown at me, and ask a question- “What can this situation teach me? How can I learn and grow?” The focus became more positive, productive, and lighter. Many friends and colleagues brought light and laughter to my soul and I am profoundly grateful.

Think of the challenges you are facing as teachers. How can you adapt and grow? Take a deep breath, you’ve got this, no one said it was going to be easy but finding laughter, strength, love, setting your boundaries based on self respect, self worth and self love, can make for a more balanced life.

Have a beautiful May weekend my friends,

Thought for Sunday : The sun arrived on the Shore and has promised to stay for a few days. It’s as if the go button has been pressed and everything begins to bud and grow. The world looks brighter, more inviting and sitting out watching the sunset, whilst drinking a glass of wine, is the perfect evenings entertainment.

This week brought life into clarity as out of the normal routine of things. I had to deal with restrictions that I have a system for but in and out of the normal place. A good challenge and it made me recognise the need to do that more. Being out of your comfort zone is exactly that, uncomfortable and challenging but makes you realise that you’re capable of so much more. And a recognition of those who will help get you there with their support, love and thoughtfulness. Be grateful always.

Step out of your comfort zone this week - how much more could you actually achieve if you really pushed yourself? A comfort zone can feel protective but you’re not growing or changing by staying in it.

Live life in full bloom and give the sun a run for its money with the amount of light you share.

Thought for Sunday: I woke early, around 4 am. The night was silent still calm I could hear the waves gently lapping by the pier through my open window. Bliss,perfect.

Silence can be so cathartic amongst the busy noise of life. Calming, uplifting,soothing.

It’s been a busy week but still Phone time to meet with lovely friends laughing and sharing and listening. Today brings more promises of sharing breakfast with friends and a lovely invitation for Sunday lunch with others I am truly blessed.

Special week with therapy clients seeing breakthroughs on their journey facing their shadows and seeing the light once again, bringing colour, joy and happiness back to themselves . I felt so humblle and grateful to be able to share in special moments.

May your week be filled with light and Hope

didn’t know how.

Thought for Sunday: it’s been a rollercoaster start to 2026 for us all I feel. The weather is unsettled, the World is unsettled, life feels unsettled, challenges and good times are there but up and down, emotions feel unsettled.

This week I went back for my second time to carriage driving. My faithful Hundy came too, even when feeling ill, she was there for me and I felt the gentle support, never taken for granted and anyways grateful for amazing friends.

I was given the reins to Bobby, a stunning black cob, and made connection through my hands to another soul, a feeling I hadn’t had since sitting on my beautiful thoroughbred Benfield many years ago. The connection was emotional, something I never had thought I would be able to do again. Through voice, hands, reins, bit and mouth, we connected. He listened to my voice and we learned to trust one another, and I felt my heart soften. Just for now I could relax, I didn’t have to keep fighting, digging deep, keep moving, battling, I could just be and Bobby would take care of me and I had his back too. Freedom. A special moment and bond tentatively created. A wall dissolved.

How to stay grounded and softer in amongst all that life throws at us.

Raise your vibration. Sounds a little weird to some, I get it. But when we feel heavy it’s harder to stay calm, kind, in perspective, focused, logical and positive.

Shift the heavy - get up and dance, find something to laugh at, someone to laugh with, someone to cry with, share a hug, put down the fighting talk, believe in good, just sit still in silence and listen to your breathing, close your eyes, give someone your time and just listen to them, drink water, open the door and go out into nature and dance in the rain - turn your face to the sun and smile, no sun?, turn your face into the rain and feel the water on your skin, let wind whip around you, blow away the negativity, sit by the fire, meditate and be grateful for all that you have in your life. The list is endless if you just look for it.

Look outside of yourself this week and share your love and light, we all need to clear away the dark that keeps us down
