A little of what you fancy does you good!

I’m a great believer in little treats. The world can seem so harsh at times. We need some sweetness daily.

Take a moment Dearheart. Pause and pop your hands over your heart. Take a few long slow deep breaths. And ask…

‘What do I really want?’ Then listen to the whispers of your heart.

Ok, it might be a 99. It was for me this day! Do you need some quiet time? To move your body? Reach out for company? A day off? To help someone else?

And like a muscle, the more you remember to ask your heart…and follow through on what it tells you, then life becomes easier. Lighter. Gentler.

So, tell me what you want, what you really really want 🎶🎶

Big love 💕

Sometimes a little peaceful contemplation in nature is necessary. Today is one of those days for me.

Take a break, Dearheart.

Lord Ganesha is proclaimed to be the remover of obstacles. Clearing the path comes to mind.

But the Hindu story tells of a much deeper strength. The ability to turn the worst into something new. Not return to the old, but make something different.

It’s always appealed to me. Obstacles are removed when we stop trying to find a way through them. Going around instead.

Life moves on when we stop trying to go back to how things were. That simply does not work. We accept the change. Sometimes with much wailing and deep pain. No denial here.

Ganesha represents, to me, the removal of obstacles by accepting their presence. Choosing to see and accept them. And then, Dearheart, no longer butting our heads to move through them.

We choose to continue on the path. We flow around them.

Pushing a reset button!

I didn’t think I was expecting something, so I went in and soaked up all the feels.

Turns out, there was anticipation. Lurking under the surface. I kinda hoped…

Meh!

The opposite happened.

And I could go into a funk for sure! But I chose not to.

I chose to ‘not give a 💩’ what the script (what we call the negative voice we all have in our heads) had to say.

Thanked it for trying to help me. (That’s when we go into patterns or learned behaviours. Once upon a time they were life savers, but we outgrow them.)

And told the script to ‘jog on!’

Made a cup of tea and looked for the silver lining. Yep, I’m free to move on.

What next? What else is possible?

Mornings don’t have to be rushed.

When my girls were little I’d start my day with meditation before I even got out of bed. Because once my feet hit the floor it was full-on!

But the peace and grounding that meditation brings me set a tone of pacing myself. Like running a marathon.

And it’s part of my life.

Recently I had a ‘gotta make the most of it and get out early’ inspiration. I slept abysmally. Woke like a bear with a sore head. And slowly began my day instead.

What did I miss out on? Dunno. But I had the most marvellous day and evening.

Resetting, I’m allowing the day to come to me. I think another cuppa before I hit the shower. Pausing to enjoy the sunshine softly filtered through the trees outside the window.

It’s gonna be another fabulous day!

Have a good one.

Staying in an AirBnB, a full length mirror in the bathroom. Even without my glasses, the script (negative voice we all have in our heads) got mean.

I shan’t give the script a voice here, but if you’re on my wavelength you can probably guess! It was not kind.

For a fleeting moment. Then I looked for the blessings. The pearls. I’m 69 years old and I’m fit, healthy and vibrant!

It starts with waking up in the morning. Not everyone does. And flows from there.

At the moment, I’m travelling. Visiting with friends. Meeting up with people I love. Seeing new sights. Exploring. Walking. Doing some yoga. Meeting new people. Eating fresh local foods.

Stepping out of routines and comfort zones. Counting my blessings instead of letting the script drag me down.

Try it! I thoroughly recommend it.

Grief comes in many layers. With such a vast array of feelings.

Today I’ve realised I’ve let go of one heavy emotion I’ve been carrying.

Guilt.

It’s known as ‘survivor’s guilt.’ A mixed bag of feels. There’s a side order of shame that goes along with it. Regret is a popular garnish.

Dearheart, it’s okay to enjoy life again. In fact, it’s totally recommended.

Okay, yes, there’s the ‘your loved ones would want you to’ approach. But honestly, it takes time to get there. And it’s only part of grief.

I’m not living for my dearly departed…I’m living for me. And that’s more than okay.

Today I let guilt go, and enjoyed life.

And remember, no pressure, take your time.

Big love 💕

Says it all really. 🤔

Been feeling this a lot lately. Sometimes just choosing to live in my own little bubble. I raise my head and look at the world and just wonder…

Was The Matrix a documentary? There’s a rabbit hole there. Alice in Wonderland…there’s times I followed the white rabbit.

Now I no longer want my peace shattered.

How do we shift this? More love and light.

Today I’m sending you love, light and peace. From my heart to yours. Let it in, Dearheart.

It’s all energy. Choose the good stuff and share that light all around.

Big love 💕

Once upon a time…

I thought I had a choice.

I could be like my Welsh grandmother…a miserable woman who dieted, was incredibly vain, and aging was an awful obsessive thing. (Not blaming, she earned her life scars.)

Or my Irish grandmother, with her red veined cheeks, varicose veins in baggy stocking, messy hair…you get the picture.

I actually shared my fears at a family event. To a friend of course, not with them! The friend said Irish gm was a much nicer person than Welsh gm. And that would be her major consideration! (We had been into the vinho to be fair.)

Now I’m a grandmother and of a certain age…I embrace the non-binary aspects of life. No longer either/or but and/and…

I am graceful when I want to be, and I don’t obsess. I like food. I like clothes. Age is such a privilege that so many don’t get to experience. I want it all!

So I’m mischievous. I do have some superb stories. I laugh a lot. And I like to enjoy good food, good wine and good friends.

If this is audacious living, I’ll take it!

Life for is for living. Go enjoy yourself.

Big love 💕

Spring energies are causing us to forge ahead with transition and new growth. We’re planting seeds, so new projects beckon. And we’re feeling that creative tug in our hearts and souls.

For some this is exciting, even exhilarating! But a lot of us are feeling like we’re being buffeted along like a little canoe on the choppy ocean.

This can lead to us holding on tighter and getting more rocked. The harder we hold on, the stronger the impact of each wave!

Today I want to remind you to stop holding on so tightly. Stop resisting. For change to happen, you have to let go of something’s. You can’t cram more into a full container.

Try relaxing and accepting divine timing. Choose to be more present. To be in the now. Breathe. In fact, take a few long, slow, deep breaths right now...

Invite spirit to be with you and listen to the whispers of your inner guidance. Shhh...can you hear it? It’s whispering trust. All is well. And all is well.

Hold on tightly, let go lightly and get back to enjoying the ride.

Big love 💕
Jacqueline
