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…

Serenity in the Highlands – a soulful embrace of Nature’s Peace

Throughout history, the Highland cow has been seen as a symbol of strength, resilience, and perseverance. 
I couldn’t resist creating this limited edition print.

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).

I took this picture of a Hellebore in my garden. The Hellebore (or Lenten Rose) symbolises serenity, tranquility and peace.
Sending oodles of good wishes, not just at Easter, but throughout the year.

And so begins this eclipse season with the theme of relationships and all that they represent in your life. A focus on right relationship that includes a reflection on power dynamics, what they mean, where you have given your power away, where you have abused your own, and a study of where power in terms of juice is lacking in a relationship. 

This is not only about personal relationships but also the relationships you have with your addictions, patterns, attitudes, self worth, purpose, etc. Perhaps it is time to end certain relationships that are not supporting your highest good. Perhaps it is time to reset certain relationships by empowering them with what they need to flourish. Be creative and bring some fun into the process.

Eclipses always support change, transformation and a good reset. What needs change in your life? Make a plan, get support, and make sure you are nurtured in the process.

Oodles of good wishes for all that is best for you.

The bird of the month for March is the Sparrow (The Mystical Year by Alison Davies)

This month we are encouraged to embrace the spirit of the sparrow – a symbol of hope, harmony, joy and friendship.  Let its wings inspire you to soar above challenges and cherish the beauty of every moment.  Spread your wings and embrace the journey with courage and optimism.

I photographed this sparrow in my garden, and styled it to symbolise the energy I felt… I’ve added a 2 minute audio file featuring the birdsong and calls of sparrows singing by a river – a short meditative ‘pause’ for you.

Oodles of good wishes to you
