Today my grandson wanted
To wear my walking hat
Why not I thought
As we got ready to head out
Why not indeed
I had to draw the line
At taking my walking poles!

If only us adulted adults
Cared less what others thought
We'd all be so much happier
As he wandered out not caring
At all what people would say

Lets all be a little more Bean
Lets put joy first ❤️
And do what makes us Smile 😃

Here's to Tiny people everywhere
Our Greatest teachers ❤️
When we Stop Look and Listen to them
Thank you Bean for bringing me balance
Keeping me in the land of magical play
Because that's self care right there ❤️

Let's Talk De Cluttering and Clattering
I've been on a mission lately
I've given myself a year to declutter
From furniture to fashion and fripperie
I've blitzed drawers and cupboards
And crawled under dusty dark beds

Here's what they DON'T tell you
When you face an overhaul head on
That it's an emotional roller coaster head F***
Where you'll suddenly feel knocked sideways
The wind kicked from your sails!
A gut punch that sits hard 🤗

Because the nature of De cluttering
Means we sift search rescue and reminise
What did I buy Who with and Where was I

As I hauled through bucket loads of books
My mothers writing looked back at me
She penned in each book she gifted
The twirl of the M and the flick of the B
I remembered Being a child at school
Copying mums writing to forge sick notes
I was transported back to 13 years old

One book was signed by the author
A gift from my mother on my wedding day
I was thrown back in time to a young bride
Seeing myself in my wedding dress
The book was hilarious Man Of The House
Joan Jonker the author had signed it
My Mother gave it tongue in cheek
It was about the struggle with men!

Then came my card drawer!
That one stuffed to overflowing
Christmas Birthday and House moves
All crammed into a tardis like space
Years upon years came flooding back
Like a giant dam had cracked burst open

Friends that had passed away
My children's Mothers day cards
Sticky finger prints onto paper
Cards from my Mother and grandmother

I think De cluttering should carry a warning
Whilst we're left with cleaner clearer spaces
We first have to navigate a Time line of US
Our life at multicolored break neck speed

And someone PLEASE tell me this
Why do us Mums save EVERY passport
That every family member ever had!
I had 9 in a box mixed in with 12 yes 12
Savings account books from decades back
Not to mention every passport photo
Of each of my children ❤️ too cute to chuck!

So if you're on a Spring cleaning frenzy
Be mindful to buy tissues by the truck load
Biscuits by the barrels to munch on
As you sit alongside.....your life!
And Yes I do this road trip every few years!!

As for me I headed out and bought
A New plant!
Because the sticker said it gives Oxygen
And there's a whole load of space to fill ❤️

Be tender with yourselves if your clearing
Whilst it's immensely therapeutic
It can create pause and reflect moments
Do it in stages gently pausing as you go
Take yourself off outside in Nature
Break up marathon long haul clean outs
Meet up with friends and family or hug a tree!
So you don't get wedged into your past

Rest in moments don't Race on too fast
Celebrate all you are and the life you've lived
It's not really De cluttering it's not clutter
It's Collections of memories and moments
You're Re allocating your memorabilia
So do it carefully and tenderly please

And of course when you create more space
Buy more plants 🪴 🪴 🌱 🌿 🌾 🌵

We talk about Self care often
Saying how
It's not all bubble baths and candles

But sometimes it IS
Sometimes it's someone else
Running a beautiful bath 🛁
Lighting candles and stepping back

I stayed with my daughter in law
She's a Mummy now and works hard
Yet she still found the time to run me a bath
Not just any old bath but one filled with love

When i was 16 years old
My step mother was a new mummy
I went to stay and I would run her baths
I'd fill it with bubbles and pop a G and T
On the edge of the bath for her
She'd climb in wearily and sometimes cry

I never fully understood those tears
Until I became a Mother myself
We do so much for others
We often forget ourselves in the mix
So when someone stoeps up and sees us
It's a deep Love in many guises ❤️

It wasn't just a bath filled with bubbles
It was care Compassion and kindness
It was nurturing woman to woman
Words that said I See You
It was an Action of care

As women living on our own
We're awe inspiring and independent
We're fiercely powerful and soft
Yet sometimes having a bath run for us
Can be the most powerful act of care

Go run a bath for your Besties
For your Daughters or Sons
For your Mums or Dads
Its utterly beautiful to recieve ❤️

But don't forget the power of a shower too!!

At 15 I studied GCSE Art
We had to choose an artist and a subject
I chose Picasso and Sorrow as my subject
That was almost 40 years ago!
As I glide towards my 53rd birthday
I'm reflecting on that piece of Art

It was so telling of where I was at
As a teenage girl navigating life
That painting lives under my bed
Sandwiched between 2 sheets of paper

As I sat touching the paint
Which was perfectly preserved
I was stunned at how 38 years had passed!
Then as I reflected on that Weeping woman
It hit me what I'd achieved in 38 years!!

That 15 year old girl left home at 16
She lived and worked in London
She married young and went on
To have 4 children alongside education
She went on to gain several Diplomas
She studied the human body and mind
She specialised in cancer care and loss
Then more college and more training

She parented her children whilst studying
She started a business She moved homes
She Grew and she Grew and she Grew

She became wiser and softer and calmer
She became a traveller and started writing
She became a Granny and nurtured herself

I've come a long way since that piece of Art
I'm writing this for anyone struggling today
Any teenagers hurting or feeling helpless
Life moves on and we grow in it and from it
I'd tell the 15 year old me .........
You'll go on and help people Becky
You'll inspire others one day
You'll grow and learn and guide
You'll set up a business on your own
You'll have a job that feels like home

Never underestimate the power of Art
The power of feelings onto paper
And to you parents parenting
Its never too late to learn and grow
To change direction or seek adventures

Some of the most phenomenal people
That I'm Privaledged to have met have
Come from large stories they've navigated

Be gentle with yourself if you're on a journey
Of change growth and movement ❤️
Because what lays ahead can be beautiful

I think I've quite possibly had
The BEST Valentines Day ever
It started with pink fizz and Painting
At my local art Gallery

But the best bit came at 6pm
A tiny human knocked on my door
He was dressed in a shirt and a jumper
Holding out a beautiful bag of treats
And a bunch of flowers!

He knows how to treat at lady ❤️
I had made a tent filled with love
Under the dinning room table
I'd stuck little stars Courtesy of
The beautiful MadMolly shop
That lit up like the night sky

Tonight we lay watching The Grufalo
I felt loved and warm and fuzzy!
Over the decades I've done Paris
Or fancy restaurants and fancy hotels
But the reality is this
Sitting under a table beneath stars
Filled my heart so much more
A tiny human gives us
A different perspective on life

So however you're loving tonight
Remember to sit with your own inner child
Crawl under the table and make a tent
Eat dinner under the stars 🌟

Bring in the magic and let your heart fill ❤️

Valentines Day ❤️
The Sun us Gloriously shing in salute
Of Love ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️

So often this has been about
Who Do I love Romantically Who Loves me
Tradition tells us to buy cards and flowers
Red symbolising all the gooey slushy feels

The reality is that the heart isn't really Red
It's a kind of purrpley bluey lump of muscle
It beats relentlessly to keep us alive daily
It's incredible how it supports the body
Yes I watch too much of The Good Doctor

Like many things it's not a perfect Red shape
It's messy bumpy misshapen and can be
Erratic and imperfect and cause trouble

That's a bit like Love ❤️
It's messy lumpy bumpy and Erratic
It can feel overwhelming and scatty
It can fill us with overflowing joy
It can feel hollow and hurtful
Or wild and beautifully fulfilling
I see this in my couples and family work

You see we are lead to believe it's perfect
But the reality is it's something to work at
Love is just the word the reality is hard work
Like the human heart relentlessly beating away
Love needs care Compassion nurturing work

Relationships
Romantic Friends Family Colleagues
All need to be worked at carefully and dutifully
Like we need to care for our own beating heart

And that's the trick people
Offer that love care Compassion and nurture
For yourself and all of your parts please
Then and only then can you offer up
Your love care and compassion to others

And that comes from messy sticky tricky
Work on YOURSELF ❤️
So today on Valentines Day
Practice Grattitude for all you have
For who you have in your orbit
Then Go Love yourself a bit harder

I'm going to celebrate by washing my hair!
After a busy week it fell to the bottom of a list
Then I'm going to cook a sumptuous meal
And sit under my dining room table!!!
In a homemade tent with lights
And my best ever Date....my Grandson ❤️

Thanks to Kelly The Poet for fabulous words

Oohh The bare face of pure calm ❤️
Tenderness what a beautiful word
When did you last show yourself Tenderness

It's been a weighty time of late
Healthing Working Living Familying
It all takes energy and we can often
As Women juggle struggle and trip forwards
Landing in a heap needing a hand up ❤️

For me that came today in the form of
Karin at A Blissful Balance
She massaged and eased all tension
Out of my face leaving me Glowing
Inside And Outwards ❤️

Self care isn't always profesional massage
It can be putting your favourite face cream
On in gentle massaging movements
After you step out of a warm shower
It can be wooly socks by a fire
A warm drink held in your hands

Many Moons ago I was at a trade fair
I used to make my own lotions and potions
I was approached by two women
What's the best advice for beautiful skin
They chanted together looking to me!

I stood for a moment and replied
Let go of negative emotions
Be gentle loving and compassionate
With yourselves firstly and with others
I was clearly in my pink and fluffy phase!
Yes BUT what can we use to look young

Massage your face daily I blurted out
And it doesn't matter what with I said
It's just the process of self love
Coupled with good lymph drainage

They looked at me like I had 2 heads
They had wanted a potion as a fix all
They walked off to find another stall
One that promised beauty from creams
I clearly missed a trick I wasn't a saleswoman
I mostly gave my wares away to strangers

But the reality is it's not all product!
Not like social media insists and promises
Its how we live and the speed we go at
Its who we surround ourselves with
Good people in good places with good vibes
And yes that really can shine out of you

I had the best night of cuddles with my girly
AND Beany too as we snuggled all night
As for Karins facial it's not just those creams
The reality is it's her warm voice huge hugs
And as an ex social worker she holds you
In all kinds of shadowy spots we step through
The lotions potions oils and creams
Are simply the cherry on the top ❤️

Micro joys

Wearing soft warm wooly layers
When all feels off kilt
Wrap up
Wrap in
Wrap around

If you're Wobbling emotionally
Or if you're struggling with health
Be tender with yourself please 🙏

Soft wooly fabrics
Can settle a nervous system
As they can simulate a warm hug
So Wrap up and Snuggle in ❤️

10/02/2026

Love yourself ❤️
It all starts here people ❤️

Because when you love yourself
Even the grotty difficult parts of you
Then and only then..........

Do you bring The Best version
Of your truly beautiful self to others ❤️
The rested funny filled up energised
Caring compassionate kind self

As opposed to
The resentful frustrated fed up pi**ed off
Exhausted and burnt out you ❤️

Love yourself a little more please
It's a Win Win situation ❤️ ❤️

Update on the Dust Less policy
Not so sure I'm too keen
When the resident appears!!! 🕷

This made me remember a time ling ago
When I was on placement in a school
I nipped to the loo between sessions
It was a teeny cubicle of a hallway loo

As I sat peeing something hit my shoulder
As I turned I spotted the open window
Which was ajar about 2 feet above my head
I was suddenly FACE TO FACE with 8 eyes
I kid you NOT 🕷
The Fatest spider all hairy legged sat
Perched on my shoulder of my blue cardi
Literally nose to nose with my face

I screamed I think the spider screamed
And I flicked it off my shaking shoulder
It bounced off the loo door landing on my foot
I screamed and almost ran pants down
Into a corridor of hormonal teenagers
Who were sat at temporary desks working
The naughty corridor!!

Aside from the humorous fear
It's important to realise the body is clever
My body held that mini episode within it
A few weeks later I pulled out the cardigan
My favourite blue cardi went on
Suddenly I was flooded with anxiety
I had no idea why I was sweating!
It Took some time to connect the two
The cardigan represented the event
It acted as the trigger
Re creating the fear I had felt

It Took some work on myself in therapy
To settle the fear and look at deeper roots
But it was a brilliant example to me
At how the body stores trauma away

Always listen to your body ❤️
When it sends you messages
Mine was that I needed to look closer
At other events that had been out of my control
That big fat hairy spider 🕷 did me a favour
It got me to dig deeper into me
Which in turn resulted in self awareness

So here's to my New house mate 🕷
Here's to our amazing bodies holding score

I Don't Dust
I never have!
When my children were little
I'd grab a stray sock and run it over the TV
I've even been known to use a pair of un**es
Mid way to the weekly washing machine
Folded up of course! I have standards

I was raised in an era of set cleaning days
A day for dusting certain rooms and floors
It was regimental and I think I'm rebelling

But as I sat this morning I looked upwards
And this incredible Spiders Web sparkled
Ordinarily I'd reach for a tea towel
Or a spare item of anything to shift it
Why???

Because we're taught to dust and clean
That cleanliness is the answer to all
But the reality is that nature supports us
My kids grew up with dust and cobwebs
And herbs and oils and tinctures galore

And they're all ok
Although I have heard from reliable sources
The boys are lacking toilet cleaning etiquette!
We can't have it all I guess ❤️

So here's to letting Nature creep indoors
Here's to the intricacies of spinning a web
The mindfulness required to observe in awe
To No Dusting and more Dilly Dallying
To simply Being and not always Doing
Have a Restful Peaceful Sunday Afternoon

07/02/2026

Look closely
No Closer ❤️ what can you see
A teeny human sleeping quietly
Little Baby Bean squirreled away

Today I learned a valuable lesson
From my wonderful 2 year old Grandson
Rest ❤️ Slow Down ❤️ Listen to your body

He crawled under the footstool
He was tired and was hiding
He gently fell asleep right where he was
And promptly stayed there snoring softly
For over One whole hour ❤️

We need to listen and watch tiny humans
They know exactly what they need and when
They listen to their bodies carefully
And they are extremely determined
At meeting their own needs there and then

I need food Gayya now
I need my bed Gayya now
I need a drink Gayya now
I need a cuddle Gayya now
Stroke my cheek Gayya now

These are all Needs that a child voices
That we all voiced as growing children
How we were responded to as a child
Determines how we voice our needs
In our later adulting years
Often our voice is quietened
Or silenced as we navigate life

Society tells us it's wrong
To focus on our own needs
We feel selfish and self centred
So we Stop focusing on our needs
Until we burn out or feel frazzled
And there's nothing left to give others
Notice how toddlers have endless energy
It's because they ask for their needs to be met
As soon as they feel the need arise ❤️

So many adults I see are in the dark
About what it is they need or want
Do you know what you Need right now?

Maybe we all need to be a Bit more Bean
If we're tired Go rest pause or sleep
If we're weary then rest or softly create
Read a book do some knitting paint or draw
If we're hungry eat good food and enjoy it

Let's All be more present with our bodies
I Need Rest Peace Calm and Quiet tonight
I'm off to knit under my table with a blanket ❤️
