Dear Precious Beings

I heard someone say this morning about their sense of style, "I don't want to be part of the wallpaper". The saying has stayed with me. Do you follow trends, or meet the expectations of others or society as to how you should dress, appear, behave? Do you want to fit in, or stand out? Or both?
The same person also said, "Growing old is a privilege that's denied to some people, so what am I waiting for". How are you with the natural aging process? How are you about living your life as best you can, leaving no regrets?

The first part of life seems to be about energy, effort and hard work, growing up, maturing, building, gathering, accumulating, climbing, striving, responsibility and accountability, attaining and having. Self-discovery, finding love, commitment, being loving and lovable and sharing with others are part of this time and process too.

The second part of life seems more about letting go, simplicity, surrendering, being grateful, finding peace, authenticity, acceptance, facing limitations and embracing vulnerabilities, reflection and turning inwards. More rest is required to keep going.There is a longing for honest relationships and connection and courageous conversations may take place. There is a realisation that time is not finite, and living in the moment becomes important as does love and kindness for self and others, including our planet.

Precious One, wherever you find yourself today, I hope you quieten your mind enough, to listen to your heart and gut, and then follow your dreams, being led by your inner wisdom...

Dear Precious Being,
Happy New Year to all beings wherever you are and however you are today.

I'd like to share a poem I wrote recently...

Magic

Watching the blackness of crows
against the blueness of sky
was stunning and bewitching
When we put a name on it
the form becomes a thing.

I sat and watched this creation
Dance on the sky stage
The wind its music
Enchanted under a spell of wonder.

I wanted to get up
and mirror this artistry
but could not
So, I relaxed and enjoyed the experience
and surrendered to being soaked in beauty.

My body responded with deepening breath
absorbing the magnificence
of flight and freedom.

May you know freedom of mind, body, heart and spirit this moment, day, month and year ahead.

Beannachtaí

Dear Precious Ones,
I haven't posted this past week or more because sometimes I don't have words or know what to say or even how to say something.
This time of year does something to me. Parts of me is excited, joyful, grateful and delighted to be alive and well and be connected to family and friends. I look forward to spending time with my beloved and our family and especially being with gorgeous grandchildren and hearing their laughs and stories over the next few days.

Other parts of me remembers the loss of parents, grandparents, grandchildren, family members, and others I miss at this time of year and my heart aches for times past and people gone from earth. May they rest in the arms of Love.

My heart still aches for loss of dreams and hopes, relationships and separations that hurt others, and hurt us all. I wish all well.

I think of people who are homeless and remember times in my life when I struggled financially, and I send blessings, and donate when I can.
Christmas songs about love and hope, and holy families sometimes catches my breath, and I remind myself it is about being human that's important, and to let go of the idealistic promotion of some kind of elusive perfection...all is well, and good enough is ok.

I send blessings to any person struggling with physical, mental, emotional or spiritual issues. You will get through the next few days.
If you are feeling low and alone today, just know that tomorrow is another day, that someone cares about you, that you are worthy of love and respect, and I hope in these words you will hear kindness and no judgement from me. I know what it feels like to be judged, miserable, lonely, anxious, and lost. Take deep breaths, reach out, connect with someone, ask for help. Precious human being, please don't give up!

And so it's here, it's afternoon on Christmas Eve. The house is warm, the tree is lit, all is well and I'm heading to meet some family members. I want to take their beautiful faces in my hands and kiss them, and hug them tightly and tell them I treasure and fiercely and deeply love each one of them...I think it might be a bit too much though...so I'll probably say Happy Christmas, what are you drinking? Who knows after that!

Breathing in and going inwards to the place that has never been wounded. Breathing out, releasing, and letting go... Take a moment today to connect with your breath and your life force.

Peace and goodwill to all beings... Have a lovely weekend!

Dear Precious Beings
Don't be afraid of losing people. Be more afraid of shrinking yourself, playing small to please others, and losing yourself. So, dance in the street, play more, smile more, laugh out loud, ask that person out on a date, be yourself...live your life!
I saw this on Facebook earlier and a handsome man was moving delightfully to a popular song. I couldn't help it, I had to ask Alexa to play it loudly, and up I got for a full 3 minutes, that's as long as I lasted...I went to bed for a rest then (honestly).

My feet starts tapping and my hands start clapping in time to a beat, after that, anything could happen! It's innate, it's indigenous, it's our culture, it's the heartbeat in our mother's womb. It's natural.

Music has always motivated me to get up and try again and again. It always feels like an invitation to be alive and to keep going.
It helps me feel good, laugh, giggle, hum, sing out loud, and dance as if no one was watching. It gives me hope. It reminds me of past strength and stamina, and I'm thankful for current resilience and willingness, and I'm aware of a future when I won't be able. I don't want to miss out today and have regrets.

Music also helps me connect with myself on a day I'm struggling. On those days, the lyrics or instrument, or melody can impact my heart space and tears fall. I whine, whimper, cry and shout even, and allow my body and mind to empty itself of loss, disappointment, frustration and more.

On nights when I cannot sleep, am stressed, or ill, soft instrumental music lulls me into rest and recovery.
Music and sound draws me into the deliciousness of sensuality, and the excitement of sexuality.
At special moments, it's the sound of music that carries me home to my soul, to the river of unchanging peace, the place of inner connection and belonging.

When my time comes to leave this world, I hope I hear earthly sounds and an Irish jig and lilting as I go, and then otherworldly music as I enter...

Remembering the different genres, and some of the female singers (focusing on female influences today) that have 'touched' me and 'moved' me over the many years include - Margaret Barry, Patsy Cline, Billie Holiday, Philomena Begley, Emmylou Harris, Dolores Keane, Tina Turner, Sinead O Connor, Dolores O Riordan, Amy Winehouse, Lady Gaga, Mary Coughlan, Lisa O Neill, Jessie Buckley, Rose Betts, The Raines and many more...and I can't forget the influence of female family members, in particular my grandmother Ellen, my aunts Molly, Chrissie, and Kathleen, I can hear them singing still. I'm not forgetting my sisters, my daughters and granddaughters, and all the women in my family, who also love to dance and to sing with passion, to the music and songs that are in their blood.

Now off to ask my man on a date...and that puts a smile on my face...

Dear Precious Beings, may you dance!

Having a place where you can be yourself is important. Maybe it's in nature or in your home, or a favourite coffee shop, or in the therapy room...
