"This is Wintering. It is the courage to stare down the worst parts of our experience and commit to healing them the best we can." ~ Katherine May

MAGIC AND MIRACLES has just been completed through conversations with people who are daring to close the door on situations that are draining their life-force energy and to do whatever they need to recover.

This requires a great deal of strength and trust in ourselves and the process of life.

It often results in scorn and pressure from others to do what's expected, rather than what we know in our hearts is best for us and the world in the long term.

All too frequently it happens when we've reached breaking point after trying for far too long to meet unrealistic expectations.

We need time and space to recover, we need to "hibernate" and work out how to make the changes that will restore and sustain our energy.

A lot of the people I talk to are highly sensitive, which is a beautiful gift, but it requires a lot of care and our demanding, fast-paced life leads to burn-out.

We recognise that moving with the natural seasons of the year and our own natural rhythms could stop this burn-out from happening.

Many of us feel shame because we have failed to cope. However, it is very comforting to discover that we are not alone and there is great strength and support in the unity we are creating as we speak out.

Thank you to everyone who has shared their precious story with me.💜

2025 has been a tough year for many , and it looks as though there will be no respite in 2026.

However, what I'm increasingly hearing is how empowered people are feeling by having faced and overcome situations they never thought they could.

We may be battered and exhausted, but a lot of us are learning to accept that whilst the outside world remains far from calm and certain, we are more peaceful and comfortable in our skins.

We are learning to make the most of simple things and moments of respite amidst the chaos and uncertainty.

We are learning to protect ourselves from others' rubbish and find groups of people who nourish and support us, finding joy in being able to help them in return, even when we're at our lowest ebb.

I'm really grateful for the global network of bright spirits who are keeping hope alive and working together to create a better world for us all.

Sparkly people often have a tendency of getting tangled up in other people's rubbish...

It's very helpful to hear from those who are learning how to untangle themselves and stop it happening again.

Thank you so much Association of Camerados for sharing your wisdom and experiences in this wonderful webinar. As a small community project it meant a lot to have my own learning validated and to feel a connection to a larger movement for social change. 😍

There were many reactions to the Confessions of the Custard Cream Lovers learning event, from surprise to thinking, love to mind blown! Thanks to everyone who came along, and we were so chuffed to hear that folk thought it was the best webinar they had been to in a long time!

Conversations about how we see ourselves reflected in our interactions with others, so the qualities we admire in them are the same qualities that we have and they see in us. 🥰

STAY PURPLE AND SPARKLY!

A new Scarf section off to a beautiful start, helped by a much appreciated purple sparkly heart/hug from a friend.

My Spirit is always purple and sparkly, no matter what colour I'm wearing or how much I may be struggling.

For me, this section is all about understanding ourselves and finding ways, however small, of staying true to our hearts. 💜

Thank you Jo Macintosh for spreading joy and colour at the St Ives in December festivities yesterday.

Unfortunately, the weather meant that many of the fabulous activities planned could not go ahead, including Santa's much anticipated arrival on the Lifeboat on Friday .

This was a huge disappointment for all, especially the organisers who have worked hard all year to create a magical event for the whole community.

Well done to them and to all involved in yesterday's loveliness. 💜

A lovely morning in St Ives, connecting, creating and having fun.

I love the new Tide & Flame shop. 😍
