Good advice...

On the stroke of midnight tonight, you can resolve to be better, if you like…
to be fitter,
to eat cleaner,
to work harder.

On the stroke of midnight tonight,
you can resolve to become a whole new you,
if you so choose.

Or, you can take a moment to acknowledge what you already are.
Because it’s a lot.
You are a lot.

And you deserve to be truly seen.

On the stroke of midnight tonight, perhaps you could congratulate yourself, for coping.
For breaking, again,
for rebuilding, again.

For catching the stones life has thrown at you,
and using them to build your castle that little bit more beautifully.

And if you have used those stones to block yourself in for the ‘heal’, perhaps you can realign them this year. Make a grander gate, not a higher wall.

You have endured, my friend.
Through times you thought unendurable. You did.

And I don’t see the need to resolve to become a whole new you,
when you are already so very much indeed.

Happy new year.

You made it.

Now let us face another 365 day-turn, arms wide…
accepting, embracing and ‘seeing’ one other,
for all we truly are…

breaks and all.

Slow down. Take time for yourself

Happy Winter Solstice! ❄️✨
As we reach the shortest day and the longest night of the year, we celebrate the quiet return of the light. Today is a beautiful invitation to slow down and align with the stillness of nature. 🌲🌙
Three creative ways to honour the Winter Solstice:
1. Create with Nature: Head outdoors to gather fallen pinecones, evergreen sprigs, or stones to create a natural mandala or "sun wheel" on the earth. 🕯️
2. Reflect & Sketch: Use the long evening to journal your intentions for the coming year or capture the moody, low-light landscapes in your sketchbook.
3. Light the Way: Set a cozy mood with candles, symbolizing the spark of creativity that stays warm even in the deepest cold.
