Children don't choose sides….. They choose safety.…

Day 17 of my advent…

Each day I’m torn between two or three messages but this is the one that won today’s tussle.

It is so easy to be completely photographically absent from the whole thing when you’re busy - but really you must stop and allow the memory to be felt but also to be captured.

Our brains cannot keep it all but our camera rolls can… and our heart will be eternally grateful one day.

(And how we think we look is only an illusion in a moment of time, it will not matter a jot when viewed with eyes that seek love and remembering.)

This one is in Joy Chose You which is on sale today on Amazon ###x

Emotionally immature parents often unintentionally make their adult children feel guilty for being distant, forgetting that it was their responsibility to create a foundation of emotional safety during childhood. When they fail to build that vital bond in the child's most vulnerable and formative years, that emotional connection may simply not be there in adulthood. What may appear as "distance" is often a gentle, if neglected, response to that early lack of nurturing.

Day 11

Day 11 of my advent.

I know it’s not the same and I know it’s hard. But, the relationship you have still goes on. It is not over. It evolves still. New messages they send. New chapters they would be proud of. New ways in which their love learns to bloom from inside of you.

If you can get as much comfort as you can from these little things: it will help. It will help.

The you beneath the people pleasing

There’s a tender reason so many of us slip into people-pleasing: We want to be loved, understood, and accepted. Somewhere along the way, we learned that being easy, helpful, or agreeable made life smoother — for others, at least. And while that instinct comes from a caring place, it can slowly make us feel smaller inside, as if our own needs matter a little less each time we say “yes,” even when our heart whispers “no.”

If you’ve ever felt tired from trying to keep everyone else comfortable, please know you’re not alone. It’s a heavy kind of quiet exhaustion — the kind that doesn’t always show on the outside but builds on the inside. And the truth is, you deserve relationships where you don’t have to earn your place. Your wants, your boundaries, your voice — they all count. Sometimes the kindest thing you can do is to trust about what feels right for you and communicate your needs.

You can begin this shift with simple, language—small sentences that accept you without closing your heart. Phrases like, “I’m not able to do that,” or “That doesn’t work for me,” create space for your well-being to take priority. And as you practice, you’ll find that practising your boundaries feels less like letting others down and more like finally cultivating inner peace and genuine happiness.
