A Christmas/Yule tide message of gratitude to all my past, present and future clients and everyone on my social media platforms.
This time of year is filled with various emotions, memories and reflections, highlighting the joys, losses and transitions we've experienced. It can be a complex mix of emotions!
Whether you love or dread this time of year, I wish for you to navigate it in your own unique way.
Just a reminder, it's only one day 🥰, so spend it however feels right for you 🌻

A wee bit breezy just now but its going to be a batton down the hatches kinda day later on and tomorrow.
Fingers crossed doesn't cause too much havoc on its course across Ireland the west coast Scotland.

Hold on to your hats, its going to get gusty outside! just as well its not coming from the north 🙏❄️
Keeping my fingers crossed the Internet doesn't go down 🤞.
Last year's weather was pretty similar, with strong winds every few weeks, but our sturdy cottage can handle it.
Our hens, on the other hand, are huddled away, enjoying their favorite porridge treat 😋

Just a reminder that I'm taking a wee break from the office. Hanging out with Bonnie 🐶 and taking in the sights and sounds of the Mull Rally 🚗💨💨.
Stay safe and have fun, especially Bonnie's owner Angus and the rally crew! 🏁

Numbing yourself can feel like relief - like finally shutting off the noise.

And in the moment, it is relief. It’s your nervous system saying, “This is too much right now, let’s press pause.”

But here’s the truth: you can’t numb selectively.
The same wall that quiets grief, anger, or pain also dulls joy, love, and connection.

Your body is doing its best to protect you- but protection isn’t the same as healing.

Numbness may keep you safe for a season, but if you stay there, it slowly drains the color from life. You stop feeling the lows and the highs.

Real healing happens when those emotions get a safe place to move through you instead of staying locked inside. That might look like talking it out, letting your body release what it’s held, or working with a therapist who can guide you through the layers of grief and pain.

Because your emotions aren’t enemies to be silenced - they’re signals that need tending. And the more you learn to feel them safely, the more room you create for joy, love, and connection to return.

Welcome September! I returned from a great trip and had a fantastic drive home on Friday. Spotted many 🐬 pods from Ullapool to Stornoway 😍. The peaceful crossing and beautiful sunset made the journey home memorable 🌅🙏. Now back to my daily routine, feeling rejuvenated 😀

I think this image is very fitting, the only thing missing is another cat 🐈‍⬛ and the stove 🔥. No zooms out this Sunday, an actual planned week off for me! I'll reply to messages etc when I return to the office 🌅😎
