Life at present is fragile for so many
Death is inevitable for us all
Grief is an never ending process that is left behind

So today and every day lo♡e those people who are in your life, like their is no Tomorrow ♡
Don't leave it to they gone and weep false tears
Time is something you'll never get back, so no matter how busy your life is
'Make time' for those that matter.

When someone passes we think of the last time we seen them, the last conversation you had, how you left them, how you made them feel.
Having spent so much time with others in 2025 I learned something that has impacted my opinion off society and the changes in humans
Many people are literally hanging on a thread and sadly it is mostly down to the actions of others.

So in 2026
If you can change one thing may I suggest you change how you treat others.
Kindness has no price tag
Respect has no price tag
And Time once gone is gone ♡

If you are struggling please reach out for help, the saddest place to be with your feelings is in your own head.

May 2026 bring kindness to all.

It may have taken me a while and it may surprise many of you, but I have reached that stage in my life where

I observe more than I say, and in doing this it has quitened my mind and really opened my once sympathetic side to my reality side, something I suppose that has always been right in front of me but I guess by believing it was, was something I tried to deny or maybe just found hard to believe.

But now that I am here it's all quite different to be observing and I am quite enjoying the quietness that it has brought, so if you feel it in your gut that something is not quite as it should be, maybe you need to do the same, stop believing that people have your best interests at heart, become the observer and keep your words in good and tight like a fart, it may make you feel like a recluse, an oddball, a weirdo but it will also help clear your mind so you can make some choices in life moving forward, choices that are good for your benefit.

My advice to all in 2026 is short and very doable for all.

Do whatever the f@ck makes 'YOU' happy just as everyone else does the same.

As I sign out of 2025 I looked at the many amazing people who have been with me from I started out some fourteen years ago, and it is always a pleasure to see how far we have come together and what we have achieved.

I know I don't always tell each and everyone of you how incredible grateful I am that you choose me, but most importantly I don't tell you often enough how amazing each of you are, you have all come through my door as strangers and now it humbles me to call each of you my friend.

2025 has been an up and down year for me physically, emotionally and mentally as it has been for many people, it has seen me needing to take more time out than before, this was necessary in my line of work, as I believe in the oldest safety advice ever
'Put your own mask on first'
If not, you are no good in helping others.

Our world has been changing, or has it ?
No not in my opinion our world has been as it has always been, it's the people in it that are shaping it.
Sadly into a world where we no longer feel safe, we no longer believe all we are told, and we no can longer depend on others, I struggle to understand what has happened to the human race hence why I believe I need so much time out in 2025 it really hurts my ♡

This along with seeing so many people in declining health, and so many young people chosen to leave this earth before their time, while many others deciding on leaving their families and friends to go in search for a better lifestyle for themselves many miles from home, some may never return this also hurts my ♡

My wish for 2026 is for a more peaceful world without hunger, homelessness or war, a world where we are safe and we do not have to worry about our future generations coming behind us. My wish is for people whom are suffering to get the help they need should it be sickness, poverty, loneliness or whatever is hurting them.

Christmas is a time for giving so this Christmas I hope each and everyone of you decide on giving kindness, lo♡e, gratitude towards others, and remember if it is hurting you ask for help, take a step back and observe the important things in life, you will be amazed at just how much you don't need to help you live a more peaceful life, and remember

"If you knew who walked beside you at all times on the path that you have chosen, you could never experience fear or doubt again "

Sending thoughts to all who are grieving all over again at Christmas yes grieving is a lifetime process one with 'No' end date but one that can heighten anytime throughout the year, birthdays, hoildays anniversary we don't need a date, but for many people, Christmas time is the most heartbreaking time, and hardest to navigate through.

A time when the shops are full but
Our hearts are empty
A time when gifts are exchanged but the one special gift you want is, is not available
The table will always have that empty seat or even seats
Even while trying too be happy for other's having a laugh or smiling may make you feel guilty.
The truth is grief is cruel and it's dammed painful.

Many would indeed sleep through it if they could, no words or magic pill will help as something inside has gone and while your are still alive the pain remains, the emptiness is raw, that's the mark left behind from grief.

So I am sending special thoughts to all who are grieving, all who dislike this time of year, as the memories the shops, the music the present are meaningless and getting through the next few weeks is probably the most painful of grief ever, just be mindful and take it easy, be gentle on yourself navigate it whatever works best for you ♡ 💔 ♡

Just a little reminder that we do not have to buy or spend much on gifts or over processed food we can make our own for half the cost, with the added bonus of the aroma in the house, and keep many traditions alive so easy even the children can make them 🤔 now there's an idea...... We need to teach our children the old traditions and get away from buying everything.

Mine may not look the part but believe me they have passed the taste test 😋
Now all I need is another cuppa just to be 100% sure 🤶

Christmas cards, address books, the mantel place full of cards then someone invented card stands, or little pegs so you could hang your cards up.
It was lovely to read the messages from an Aunt you hadn't seen in four or five years but yet that card would arrive ever Christmas maybe if you were lucky some money would drop out 😊

The shiny decoration and tinsel hanging from the ceiling somehow looked brighter this year even though they were six maybe seven years old, maybe it was just your imagination they looked brighter because the twinkling colours made you feel happy 😊

The Turkey was not stuck in a freezer for the past few months oh no it may just have been running around the back yard ( sorry vegetarians ) but that Turkey was soon going to be part off the feast you would get this time of year, it was tradition and the only time of the year that Turkey would appear 😊

Shopping was easy the tins biscuits were stacked up in the little corner shop the same tins that would soon be seen under the arm of many heading to do a day's work with a few fresh ( or not so fresh ) sandwiches inside.
Not a bulging trolley in sight but rather just enough to go round everyone 😐

Those are my childhood memories of Christmas and I am so full up with gratitude today that they are still fresh in my head, along with the smell of the wax burning on the candles at mass and every seat being taken, as I sat looking round to see if anyone noticed my new coat, or maybe my new hairband or my new shoes 😊

Today the Christmas cards are few if indeed any so no need to buy anything to help display them they can stand alone on the mantle.

Today the decoration no longer hang from the ceiling but blinding flashing lights hang from the rooftops Tinsel like the Christmas cards though they still appear in shops one can't help but wounder are they maybe three or four years old at this stage 🤔

Today Turkey is on the shelves and in the freezers 365days of the year 🙄 it's no longer exciting too think we have to wait...... some are even stuffed 😶

Today the biscuit tins are no longer needed for lunch as lunch is mostly bought from hot food counters 🤮( sorry ) fresh or not so fresh 🙄 from 5 or 6.00am seven day's a week....

Today the smaller shops are mostly gone don't worry they're replaced with larger ones that you can buy anything from flowers, clothes, condoms, vodka toys oh and frozen Turkey's 😑 seven days a week...
Be sure to grab a trolley, bring your own bags, scan your own goods, don't communicate with staff ( sure you don't have tooooooo ) tap you plastic card, don't forget your club card/ loyality card so the bigger shop can be rewarded for selling on your data... to help increase their profit but you get a few quid of if you have that card 🙄 as an award 🏆 pack your own goods, and please don't forget to smile as you'll be recorded.......

I guess at my age in life I was very fortunate that I got to experience living a more humble life, knowing what it was like having something exciting to look forward to falling out from that Christmas card, knowing that when them shiney decorations were covered in dust it was time for them to come down again, knowing that that Turkey would soon be hanging upside down in the shed, with little feathers floating in mid air ( sorry vegetarians) knowing that the sooner all them biscuits were ate the sooner someone would have a new lunchbox, knowing or hoping that someone did notice I had on a new coat OR new shoes or even a new hair band at mass ( one or other not all )
But I guess having lived that life has made me realise how important it is to not only 'need less' but actually 'want less'

This year I am looking forward to reading my new book
'A knock at the door ' by Rob Pearson

A true story about how through one simple act of kindness at Christmas changed his life forever, and the life of a homeless man named Ronnie. Think I'll need tissue 🤧

You know life is strange at times, but I am finding it stranger in 'these times' because nothing in life is as it should be.

If you made it to here thanks (for the record)
I am not a complete
'Bah humbug'
I am just reflecting a lot off late on

What We had to
What we have and my conclusion about it all is simple it really should be about...
'What we need'

Be kind to yourself this weekend and remember for many people your 'presence' can mean much more than that 'present'

I have been people watching lately when I've been out and about, not because I am nosy but because I am completely bewildered by what 'people' have become, people are absolutely so disconnected with society with interacting with others, with being genuine, kind, thoughtful, compassionate, accepting, caring, respectful, loving and it hurts my heart too actually see this happening.

What if
Instead of spending money
The money that you earned in your 40hour week job
The hour's you 'will not' get back
The money you've paid tax on
The money you are about to pay more tax on as you use it to buy the gift
The money you payed tax on fuel used as you drove to the shop to buy the gift
The money you payed tax on to drive on the roads
The money you will not get back
The gift that was 'Not' even needed or liked

What if
We all agreed to just 'STOP'
We all agreed it is not necessary
We all agreed it is only feeding back into an already 'broken system'
We all agreed to go along with the ones who are genuinely struggling and stop the 'spending'
We all just say 'this madness ends with us'

What if ......

Time was given as a gift, because if you have ever lost a loved one you will know 'Time' is one of the greatest gifts 🌸 💔 🌸

What if......

Something you already own but no longer need/use was given as a gift, like a dress, coat, ornament, curtains. Now that may sound a little (beneath) some people but for me it is actually a kind thing to do, my friend give me a beautiful coat she no longer wears a few weeks back and I cannot wait to wear it 🥀

What if........

We give an unseen gift 🌲 but an actual gift that can be felt
Like a hug, a listening ear, or Lo♡e, TIME
how beautiful would that be for people to actually connect again with people.

Because as well as people watching I was people observing 🥀🥀🥀
People are really struggling I would go further and say people are really suffering, it's telling on their actions and body language, alcohol and drugs abuse be it illegal or prescribe drugs, stress is showing up in their actions, not many people smile anymore, and laughter is rarely heard, even trying too make a joke is awkward and not always appreciated, life has given us a unhealthy disconnected society and it is hard to watch.

Don't get me wrong I am not perfect and have never claimed to be perfect but what I am seeing hurts me, and I believe it is so far gone there may be no way back.

Unless we introduce......
Respect, compassion, empathy, Lo♡e and TIME for others we will never find Peace

Now these gifts though unseen these would be the most welcoming gifts for all ♡

Wishing you all a peaceful day.

We are more connected by technology these day's but yet more and more people are lonely.

Sometimes in the craziness of all the fuss we can forget to create memories, while for some people memories are something they choose to forget regardless of how you choose I think it is always good to leave some memories behind for others.
In seeing an old childhood photograph it can bring you right back to that moment in your lifetime when being a child was less complicated than life is as an adult in the world today.

The one thing you must remember about the world around us today is that it can look perfect, people can seem to have all their 💩 together, wanting for nothing ( as they say ) but the reality of what anyone is going through cannot be seen or known, just like that childhood photograph.

So when meeting people today try and remember back to that childhood photograph when life was a little less complicated, and use a little empathy and compassion because even if the picture looks cute, happy and cuddly the reality may be a lot different, and for many people this time of year is not always a joyful time, and for many it is a time when all they may have to hold onto is that photograph.

So while making your own Christmas remember to take that picture that will tell the story for years to come someday it may bring comfort to others.

We may not be happy every day, but if we can find one thing in every day to be grateful for, try it yourself
so say it out loud
Today I am grateful for ---------------
and while saying it, also feel it,
words are important
always be careful with your words, like the photographs words carry memories so your words not only around others, but the words you use when talking to yourself are very important.

Choose wisely
'Happy Christmas' to one could actually sound like
'My day in hell' to another.....

That childhood photograph
May bring a 'happy memory' for some while for others it could bring heartbreak.
