A heartfelt compliment is like sharing a little sunshine. It has the power to brighten someone’s day in ways you might never imagine. Even the simplest words can make a difference, so take a moment to share your words freely and watch the magic unfold….
Any time is a good time to check in on the men in your life – the ones who often say they’re fine but might not be. Whether it’s a friend, a colleague, or a family member, a simple ‘How are you doing?’ can mean more than you think.
Life’s pressures and ups and downs can weigh heavily when they’re not shared. A small gesture of checking in truly matters.

Mid week – are you being gentle with yourself? Small steps and quiet strength are enough…
Words by Laurina
Midweek is a good time to pause, breathe and check in. Take a moment to notice if you’ve picked up any ‘excess baggage’ along the way; worries, doubts, or pressures that don’t belong to you. Let them go.
Remember, you don’t have to carry it all. Be gentle with yourself as you move through the rest of the week. Sometimes, lightening your load is the best way forward.
Words by Laurina
As you step into any new week, remember you don’t have to have everything figured out. Just take it one moment at a time. Breathe, trust yourself, and know that each small step forward is enough.

Have you spent time with your inner child recently?
Sometimes we feel like there’s no time to pause, let alone to connect with our inner child. But that child is still there and you’re worth those moments of joy – even if it’s just a few minutes. Give yourself permission to play, to dream, and to find joy in the smallest of moments. Let your inner child out just a little each day – rediscover the magic within….
Words by Laurina
You are enough
It’s dark because you are holding on too tightly
Gently now, gently
You are enough
Let yourself move through the world lightly
Feel deeply, but carry it lightly
Let things unfold and meet them softly
You are enough

The Moon is the one constant that’s with us every day (or night). It overseas the weeks turning into months, the changing seasons, the passing of the years as they roll by.
Apparently this New Moon is a good time to consider planting the seeds of new ideas and inspirations that have been percolating just below the surface of clarity for some time. Also, I am to acknowledge that I am still in a transitional time where resets and refinements could be a daily occurrence.
Also…..yes, there’s more….. I am to reflect on where there needs to be more balance in my relationships, perhaps stronger boundaries, or looser boundaries, more acceptance, and ability to say no or to say yes, or even to reset what relationships need more or less priority in my life. Through this observation I will also be able to see where my energy is going and where to re-orient it if need be… Gosh that’s a lot to think about! Time for a cuppa and a goodly supply of chocolate biscuits to ponder this….
Oodles of good wishes to you for your reflections and reorientations…

The recent Summer Solstice coincided with my annual visit to the Holy Island of Lindisfarne. This exceptional occasion inspired me to create a series of images with contemplations for meditation. These are available as digital downloads and are a gift from me. (See Holy Island page).
