Life really is like a camera.
We’re given these fleeting moments, and the way we choose to frame them matters. If we spend our energy zooming in on what’s broken or blurry, we lose sight of the beauty already in focus. But when we steady ourselves and look through the lens of what truly matters, we notice the light… small glimmers of joy, love, growth… that we might have otherwise overlooked.
The good times? They’re our snapshots. Memories etched into our hearts like photographs that carry warmth long after the moment has passed. But the truth is, just like in a darkroom, it’s often the negatives that shape us most. Pain, loss, disappointment… they really do hold the hidden images waiting to be developed into wisdom, strength, and compassion.
And when life feels out of focus, when the picture doesn’t turn out how we imagined? We are reminded: this isn’t the end of the roll. We’re allowed to take another shot. A fresh perspective. A new beginning. Again AND again.
Because life isn’t about the perfect picture… it’s about the courage to keep capturing it, frame by frame, as we grow, we get an opportunity to heal, and learn.

Faith, like running, is a metamorphic journey.
Not a straight sprint to perfection, but the alchemy of endurance… where old skins fall away, the fires of trial refine us, and the Christ-light ahead keeps drawing us on.
This morning in church, the words of Hebrews 11:29–12:2 and Luke 12:49–56 were read… the race of faith, the cloud of witnesses, the fire that purifies, and the call to discern the times. How fitting, as these past & future weeks I lace up and take another step on this path.
Luna isn’t yet a running pooch 🐾, and I’m not yet where I long to be in my stride… but that’s the mystery of the path: transformation happens step by step, mile by mile.
This September, I’ll be running 60 miles in aid of Mind, carrying with me not only my breath but a prayer, for endurance, for renewal, and for every soul finding their way through fire into Love.

Even though she carries it well, it doesn't mean it's not heavy. From the outside, everything looks calm—work, family, responsibilities all balanced with care. But beneath the surface, the load is piled high, growing heavier with each task, each worry, and each moment of self-sacrifice. She holds it all together, often with a smile, but the weight is undeniable. It's exhausting, even when no one else sees it.

But here’s where the story changes…

I’ve realised it’s time to lighten the load. I don’t have to carry everything by myself anymore. I’m ready to let go of what no longer serves me, to create space for something new, something that nourishes me instead of weighing me down.

Watch this space... something exciting is coming. This is part of my Metamorphic Journey, and I can’t wait to share it with you. Transformation is just around the corner—for me, and maybe for you too.

So, confession time—I've been stuck in the 'mumsy hat' for far too long. You know the one... it’s comfy, but it definitely doesn’t scream ‘self-care queen’! 👸🏼 I’ve decided it’s time to shake things up and reclaim a bit of me time (or at least whatever I can manage between snack requests and school runs). I’ve just partnered with a brand that offers some amazing products to help me feel a little healthier, a little more 'me'—and not just 'Muuuum!' on repeat. 🔈 Follow along as I attempt my own little metamorphosis, one day at a time. There might be some chaos, a little stress, and probably a few juice box spills, but I’m hoping for more abundance, gratitude, and a positivity mindset along the way. I’m feeling a couch to 5k coming along, anyone else game? Oh, and did I mention there’s a 20% sa!e? Perfect timing for anyone else who needs a bit of self-care between refereeing sibling arguments.Let’s do this!_ 💪✨"Check out the summer sa!e : https://www.farmasi.co.uk/selinafarrington/register/beautyinfluencerPhoto : trying to get one of them all ….

In the garden of life, amidst whispers of strife,
Where negative words are as sharp as a knife,
There blooms a flower, resilient, bright,
Defying the darkness, a beacon of light.

Dirty water feeds its roots, yet it stands tall,
A testament to strength, against the squall.
Though battered, yet unbroken, amidst the storm,
In the face of adversity, watch it transform.

For every harsh word, like rain, may fall,
Yet the flower’s bloom answers the call.
Rising above, petals unfurled,
A silent rebellion in a noisy world.

So let not the echoes of doubt seep,
Into the soul, where dreams sleep.
For like the flower amidst the rain,
We too can grow, in spite of pain.

In the dance of shadows, amidst silent echoes,
Where judgment, rejection, shame intertwine,
There lies a choice, a whispering voice,
A call to grace, in this space, to redefine.

When judged, be the solace, a sanctuary vast,
Where understanding blooms, shadows cast aside.
In the garden of acceptance, let rejection pass,
Be the embrace where wounded souls reside.

If shamed, let compassion be your name,
A tender touch, a healer’s art, a flame,
Igniting the dark, dispelling the stark,
Echoes of pain, in this dance, depart.

Be the soul, adorned in grace, a face,
Reflecting the light, where darkness traced.
The person you needed, in wounds, in pleading,
A sanctuary where hearts are read, not bleeding.

Vow to rise, a phoenix, from the ashes,
Of the fires that sought to consume your frame.
Be better than the storm, where lightning flashes,
Heal, and in this dance, reclaim your name.

Act from the heart, not the scars of the past,
In this dance of shadows, be the light, steadfast.
Break the cycle, in echoes, be the last,
A testament of grace, in love, vast.

In waters murky, plants still strive,
Through muck and mire, they're alive.
So, let not words of doubt impede,
Your progress, dreams, or heartfelt need.

Like leaves unfurl, reach for the light,
Defying darkness, taking flight.
With determination, you'll find a way,
To shine through storms, come what may.

In the dance of minds, a truth unfolds,
A tale of sight, silently told.
In the mist of denial, some find their home,
Clung to confusion, in shadows they roam.

A clarity bright, like the morning’s first light,
Yet veiled to the eyes, lost in the night.
For the fog is a refuge, a solace, a shield,
Where the truths that wound are silently sealed.

You can whisper the dawn, paint skies with the sun,
Yet the journey to seeing is a personal one.
In the heart’s silent chambers, battles are won,
And the path to clarity is a road seldom run.

For in misty veils, some souls reside,
Where truths are whispers, and insights hide.
Yet in every heart, a morning awaits,
Where clarity dawns, and truth radiates.

True beauty radiates from within, where the soul shines its brightest. Remember, taking care of yourself is a nonnegotiable investment in your well-being—mind, body, and spirit. So, go ahead, pamper yourself and embrace the joy of self-care! And when life throws curveballs, choose to wear a smile that reminds others change is possible. It's like a secret weapon—unleash it and watch the world transform, one grin at a time! 😄✨

Hello, my dear followers! Luna here, reporting on today's grand adventure with my human big sister. We embarked on a journey filled with feathery friends, curious cats, and some rather questionable characters. I must say, the bird-watching was top-notch, although the cats seemed to have a different agenda.
In the midst of our expedition, we indulged in a delightful treat - ice cream! I savoured every lick of my frosty delight, and I think my sister enjoyed hers just as much. Nothing like a bit of ice cream to cool the paws, am I right?
Our adventure took an uphill turn, quite literally, as we ascended a hill. My sister and mum decided to play a game of hide and seek, leaving me to sniff them out. I must say, my detective skills are quite impressive.
The view from the top was worth every step, even if one of those steps landed me in a pile of cow poo. So much for my salon-fresh scent! But hey, a little cow pat never hurt anyone, right?
Now, I'm back at home, absolutely cream crackered. I'm taking a well-deserved rest, dreaming about the birds and the ice cream, and waiting for my other sisters to come home.
Until next time, stay pawsitive, my friends! 🐾

When the Rain Couldn't Dampen My Curiosity! 🌧️🐾

Luna, the adventurous golden retriever, always has a knack for finding herself in exciting situations. Even when the rain poured down during our walk, Luna remained undeterred in her quest for fun and discovery.

In this photo, you can see Luna, proudly sporting her muddy and wet coat, gazing off into the distance with an expression of intrigue. Perhaps she spotted a fellow furry friend, or maybe it's the mischievous charm of a feline companion that caught her attention. Luna adores cats, and despite her best intentions, she can't quite understand why some of them get a little skittish around her.

While Luna may not grasp the mysterious ways of our feline friends, her desire to be their buddy shines through. She wants nothing more than to extend a paw of friendship, even if the cats hiss and raise their hackles in response. Luna's big heart and gentle nature make her a true friend to all creatures, and she won't let a few scaredy-cat encounters dampen her spirit.

So, here she stands, muddy but proud, wet but undeterred, embodying the spirit of curiosity and goodwill. Luna reminds us that even in the face of a little rain and misunderstandings, our unwavering love and desire for connection can light up any moment.

Let's join Luna on her journey, embracing the joy of unexpected encounters and celebrating the unbreakable bond between humans and our furry friends.
