Chronicles 2025 : Unseen 2026

As the sun rays of the year 2025 softens, I find myself in the sacred pause between the past and the future. The year gave me a fair share of happiness that felt like a rainbow and challanges that tested the grip of my feet.

As the year comes to a close, I do not wish to measure my achievements and my short comings or match the person I had decided I wanted to be. Today in silence, I want honor the year 2025 for something more profound.
I made it through.

I lived through disppointments and balnced acts of hope and fatigue. As I face the year 2025, I will not start it with a list of things I need to mend. I want to meet the new year with a vow :
To be kinder to my heart.
To hear when my body is tired.
To allow myself to be beautifully unfinished.
To honour the courage it took me to keep moving.

So before, I turn the page and the new calandar opens I hope that you give yourself the permission to heal, rest and face the new year 2026 just as you are.

I wish you peace, that surpasses all understanding.May you carry the wisdom you gained from every stumble and the kindness you showed to a stranger into the year 2026.

As I sign off, I recognise the beauty that surrounds me and recieve it as big hug from my God, reminding me that I am precious and loved.

Over the next few days, I will try and share my thoughts on some of the important elements that adorne my home.

The Aging Christmas tree
Some how, over the years , we find joy in FIRST unboxing and setting up the Christmas tree.

To me it looked just fine but my youngest son brought to my notice how the Christmas tree looked, " Anoreexic and grey". Before he could suggest of replacing the tree..I strongly affirmed my thoughts

What is it that went into holding on to this aging beauty ??
The tree brought to mind, many fond memories of many Christmas celebrations.
The twist and turns, the loss and greying of some bristles reminded me of the aging process. Aging with grace is not about fighting the number, its about the memories, laughter, lessons and the love.

So after adding a few new decorations and lights, the tree stands in all its glory, through yet another Chritmas season.
My Christmas tree symbolises change,of letting go and evolving. It brings to mind, the importance of gratitude, pursuing passions and building meaningful connections.

Weekly Reflection: Harmony and Beauty

Yesterday, I consciously decided to create beauty- silently and deliberately but without a need for recognition or applause.

I started with decluttering, a section of my lounge room, then placed a couple of flowers on my dinning table and lowered my tone while talking. I was quick to notice that these simple acts had softened the air and slowed down my heart beat.

Everytime you bring harmony to the space around you, be it at work or home, you are healing and mending your spirit.

Every colour you add, every corner you clear and every gentle word you whisper you are making room for the new, for beauty to emerge and for clarity to set in .

Weekly Reflection: Journey of Becoming

Our life journey was never about becoming - more successful, more perfect, more qualified.

The becoming was often someone else's expectations. We stepped into many roles as means to survive.

The sacred change:
Unravel every story that you told yourself to get through the day.
Your softness and kindness was not a mistake.

You possess the grace to unbecome the person who always apologised and met others expectations.

Your journey ahead is to about, becoming your original self and reminding your soul about its worth.

Today's Reflection

Our day can be filled with a million jobs. Amongst the many check-lists and tasks we complete there is always, some work we do that touches the core of who we are. When we show kindness, it becomes a beacon of light or the very reason for another person to keep going - we feel the spark inside us.

When our acts of kindness lifts another person,we are reminded that we do not live in isolation. By helping those around us we receive something very profound - a new connection and a sense of belonging.

Helping others will never exhaust your heart or soul. The powerful impact we make on those around us often turns into a tiny miracle and softens the harden world around us.

Reminder: If you make a choice today, choose to care ❤️

Self- worth: Measure your value in your own terms

🌿It's easy to get caught up in measuring our worth by others standards. Chasing external validation can lead to unattainable standards, setting us up for disappointment and self- doubt.

🌱When our worth is tied to external validation we can loose sight of our purpose, own values, strengths and passions. Comparing ourselves to others can lead to low self-esteem and inadequacy.

Embracing your own worth:
🌺 Measuring our worth is a journey not a destination. It's about recognising our value, and deserving kindness, respect and compassion - from ourselves.

We can measure our own worth:
⚘️ Setting personal goals and celebrating our achievements. Surrounding ourself by people who support and uplift us. Prioritising our physical and mental well-being. Practising affirming ourselves and our self- worth.

By focussing on our own strengths and passions each one of us can become confident, resilient and authentic.

The Power of Encounters

Our life is filled with countless encounters, some fleeting and others long lasting. The people we meet influence our thoughts, shape our experiences and may contribute to our growth.

Type of people you may meet :
Supportive people will listen to you and encourage you. They will uplift and listen to you.
Challenging people will throw you out of your comfort zone, forcing you to grow and learn.
Toxic people will drain you of your energy and can affect your well - being.
Inspirational people will motivate and encourage you to pursue your dreams.
Indifferent people do not add any value to your life but still deserve kindness and respect.

By approaching every individual with empathy,understanding and open mindedness we can create a positive impact on those around us.
Remember: Every person you encounter has the potential to shape your story and leave an impression.

Make Every Moment Count

The clock is ticking and time is moving forward, unaffected by your plans, circumstances and desires. Time waits for no one and its up to us to make every moment count.

⏰Time is a non- renewable resource : Time can not be replenished, reversed or paused. Prioritise what matters the most.

⌚️Seize the Day: Do not put off until tomorrow what you can do today. Take action towards your goals. make time for people and things that bring you joy.

⌛️Time is relative, but not excusable: Time flies when your having fun but also when your procrastinating. Do not let time slip away, use it wisely.

Time waits for no one, so make every moment count !! What is something you would do if your day had twenty- five hours ?

Weight of saying, "YES" when you wanted to say ," NO"

Have you ever agreed to something and later felt weighed down by regret and resentment ?
You are not alone,many people face the struggle of saying yes when they actually wanted to say no.

Reasons we say, " YES" when we actually want to say, " NO".
Prioritise others needs over our expectations and desires.
Saying yes,gives us a temporary sense of acceptance and validation.
Difficulty in setting healthy boundaries and limits.

Saying yes when you wanted to say no, can have serous negative consequences on your mental and emotional well- being.

By recognising the reasons why you said yes,when you actually wanted to say no and focussing on better communication skills you can prioritise your own needs.

Remember: Saying , "No" is not selfish it is essential to maintain your autonomy and identity.

Please feel free to express your views and together we can build a community that values self - care and authenticity.

Beauty is not measured by appearance or how perfect we are - it is revealed in the way we treat others.

Beauty is the way you showed kindness when the world was not kind to you.

Beauty is to listen with patience, to show softness, when you actually could choose to be cold.

You can often be hurt, broken and tested in ways that no one else can see, but you still greet people with a smile, choose compassion over judgement and hold a safe space for others, even when your heart feels weary.

Beauty is not about pretending that everything is okay or turning bitter. It's about choosing kindness that leaves a glow that no mirror can reflect.

When you live with kindness, you carry beauty that never fades,a beauty that touches lives and remains long after words are forgotten.

True beauty is not how we look, it is about how we make others feel.

There are days when my heart skips a happy beat and I break into a happy tune. I stop and notice a flock of birds, some bright coloured flowers and the stillness of the blue sky reflecting on the water.

I click pictures of these beautiful moments, so I can freeze them on my phone. These pictures may seem insignificant to many but to me they are a reminder of the joy that it held for me, in the moment.

On days when things don't go right I scroll through these pictures and they are reminder that happiness and hope will visit me soon, once again.

Enjoy your weekend and take a few moments to stop and rest xx
