Tiny signs: green tips on the Southernwood, red/purple dead nettle in flower ready to feed the sleepy bees, new growth on the rosemary, even a flower! And our great fireball in the sky was visible again, briefly! I saw a Wren up close today too, it landed inches from my head. 🌱💚🙏✨

Beautiful Celtic crosses on St Brigid’s Eve in the cemetery. A perfect liminal place to wander and contemplate the cycles and the threshold and bardo between winter and not-yet Spring. 🤍🌱✨

Marketing like it’s 1999! Instagram has changed over the years and it’s now impossible to use social media alone for marketing. Unless you’re paying for adverts, Instagram actively looks for signals in your posts that sound like you are trying to promote your work for free and buries it. Plus as users, we’re actively scrolling less to preserve our mental health. The good old days of being able to freely and effectively promote a business, event or service on social media alone, have well and truly gone. Users on social media are merely fodder to be kept scrolling for the engagement stats to sell to big advertisers and benefit shareholders. What was a user-focussed platform has been flipped and it’s also saturated. The algorithm as it is will find you other people doing similar things rather than clients. It can feel disheartening and as though we’re doing something wrong, when it’s just the rules of the game changed and no body told us.
I’ve worked in marketing & communications in various capacities well before social media and I’m seeing it come full circle.
Micro-networks - being part of authentic community groups based on shared genuine values and interests; press releases, word of mouth and the old school humble flyer are all helpful these days! Social media still helps with people finding you who are actively looking, but trying to beat the algorithm and chasing the numbers game of likes and follows is frustrating if not soul crumpling.
People are being turned off by ChatGPT language and tone too, the lack of genuine resonance from a computer speaking rather than a person, is killing off genuine connection in posts and can ring as false.
I’m up for this return to grassroots, to authenticity beyond the smoke and mirrors and ai robots of social media!
I’ve been working on some flyers and it’s reminding me of 15 years ago, promoting local vintage fairs and a flea market. Good times!
If you’ve noticed how hard it is to share your work on here, you’re not alone. If you’re a local business or service, social media now needs to be just one strand of a communication strategy these days. Good luck! ✨🙏

I am nearly 49 and now officially into my 3rd post-menopause year. I celebrate this threshold every Imbolc, the time of renewal and initiation. I’m still very much in the middle of my menopause journey, still emerging from my chrysalis with curiosity. I don’t take HRT as it didn’t agree with me, so sometimes the hot flushes still come burning through me reminding me I am the element of fire. That the sacred, alchemical element of fire that transmutes and transforms, is part of me and I can honour that element within.
Sometimes the water element rises up as strong emotion and gives me the opportunity to consider the ancient oceans that flow inside me and I can ask the water element to cleanse and guide me in its flow & clear the muddiness from my intuition.
I can call on the air element to bring clarity when my mind isn’t clear and I take a breath and breathe in and out in symbiosis with all the trees and plants around me.
If the ground beneath me feels unsteady I remember the sacred Earth is my body and I can send my energetic roots down deep to meet the layers of ancient forest and rocks and ancestors below, and ask for support.
When I feel stuck, powerless & small in a world full of greed and destruction, I can let my spirit rise up to the stars and remember I am also infinite space & made of stardust too.

Through connecting to & honouring the elements within & without, I can feel the pulse of infinite interconnections and the seasons, cycling and aligning within me, reminding me with every hot flush, even every forgotten word lost in a fog, that I Am Nature, I am always home.

I might be entering my Autumn season but that is the season to bear fruit! It is the season to emerge as who we were all along.

I’m writing a book about my menopause journey & how I’m embracing it with creativity & connection to the elements, creating meaning, wonder & magic.

The ‘Crone Circle’ for those keen to embrace the journey into ‘cronehood’ with seasonal ceremony, crafts and connection is finally emerging this year too.
Menopause is a rite of passage & one that can be celebrated when we create meaning among the mayhem. 💚

Have you noticed that the birdsong is changing? 🐦‍⬛🌱✨Birds are starting to become more active as the natural world in the northern hemisphere cycles slowly towards Spring. I love noticing the birdsong change, it feels like a micro season in itself. In Japan there’s a traditional calendar made up of 72 micro seasons grouped into 24 sections.
A few years ago I started noting my own micro seasons such as the birdsong shift, the first snowdrop, the first blackthorn blossom, the nest building, the first ant, bee and butterfly; the when the swifts come back, when the different wildflowers grow, when the lavender can be picked etc.
It’s a lovely way to experience the seasons, especially at this time of year when everything can seem so grey and lifeless. It’s a reason to pause to look and listen more closely.

Images are of one of my favourite cedar trees at the cemetery. The cemetery is full of wildlife and birdsong. The sunlight (when it does appear) can be extra magical at this time of year 💚💫

Joining the 2016 revisited trend as it was a such a big year for me! This is a triumphant photo: I had made it up to the top of the Malvern Hills (albeit the accessible route!) after having surgery for Crohn’s/colitis some months before. I’d shaved my head in 2015 after major hair thinning issues due to my health, and kept the buzzcut while it recovered until 2019. I still miss the convenience!
I grew herbs and vegetables on our window sill as I couldn’t get out much and a little tomato ripened while I was in hospital 🍅🥰

Art, nature and Buddhist study and practice were a big part of my life and recovery. Much later in the year I took over a little half-allotment plot (with assistance!) which became my herb garden and sacred space, I’ve spent lots of time there since then, observing, learning, offering and deepening my connection to and appreciation of the natural world. It’s so interesting looking back at how much has changed and how much has stayed the same, what has grown stronger (not just hair!) and what has fallen away. I’m 49 in a few months, so in my 50th year, and this feels like an important threshold to take time to pause and reflect and set clear intentions for the year ahead and the next decade of life on planet earth. However confusing, challenging and unsettling it can be, there is so much goodness, beauty and connection.
I’m aiming to embrace eldering with intention and as much awe, magic, music, curiosity, creativity and opportunity for learning as possible! 🙏✨

There are signs that the season of stirrings will soon be upon us! 🌱 Nature moves slowly when conditions are right and the necessary elements are balanced, it doesn’t need to rush or prove itself. Growth in harmony with the elements and conditions is sustainable.

If a seed could think and feel like a human, it might be terrified to crack itself open and let go of all it thinks it is to become all it’s meant to be. And even that new form (or aspects of it,) will be impermanent and released again, to transform later in the cycle. Growth and change will usually be accompanied by an element of fear for us human-nature-beings, it is often showing us the way forward, where we need to trust and crack open our seed shell.

Buddhist teachings say that suffering is caused by our grasping onto our ideas of a permanent sense of self. The Buddha Siddhartha Gautama learnt by quietly observing nature and the nature of existence. Nature teaches us all we need to know 🌀🌱✨🙏

Another little walk today to leave some full moon offerings of bird food at my little half-allotment herb garden. Enjoying the fresh air, sunshine, and all the bare branches against the blue sky ✨🌿🐺🌝✨🙏

First time leaving the flat for days and the first visit of the year to the cemetery. The fading sunlight was beautiful but rather worryingly, I saw some early snowdrops 😯
