Calma Shore Positive Mind Positive Life

03/05/2026

Thought for Sunday: Awakening early this morning, the sound of pattering rain met me through my open window. The stretch of days of sunshine has broken and the earth receives sustenance. The rain is light and giving, almost like a sigh of relief. Calming, soothing, giving. Perhaps I should wash my face in the rain this morning, since I missed the dew at dawn on May Day!

This week has been brought together by laughter moments, a lightness filled my soul at times and eased the tension of the last weeks. Laughter is the best medicine.

It’s been just over four months since my wee stay in HDU and I feel that at last, this month, I’m coming out of the woods.

During this time, a lot of reflection and high and low moods have challenged me. In reframing my thought processes,trying to understand the challenges, I found the positive to be to look at every challenge that has been thrown at me, and ask a question- “What can this situation teach me? How can I learn and grow?” The focus became more positive, productive, and lighter. Many friends and colleagues brought light and laughter to my soul and I am profoundly grateful.

Think of the challenges you are facing as teachers. How can you adapt and grow? Take a deep breath, you’ve got this, no one said it was going to be easy but finding laughter, strength, love, setting your boundaries based on self respect, self worth and self love, can make for a more balanced life.

Have a beautiful May weekend my friends,

Lynds xx

Remember to see the lighter side...

Thought for Sunday : The sun arrived on the Shore and has promised to stay for a few days. It’s as if the go button has been pressed and everything begins to bud and grow. The world looks brighter, more inviting and sitting out watching the sunset, whilst drinking a glass of wine, is the perfect evenings entertainment.

This week brought life into clarity as out of the normal routine of things. I had to deal with restrictions that I have a system for but in and out of the normal place. A good challenge and it made me recognise the need to do that more. Being out of your comfort zone is exactly that, uncomfortable and challenging but makes you realise that you’re capable of so much more. And a recognition of those who will help get you there with their support, love and thoughtfulness. Be grateful always.

Step out of your comfort zone this week - how much more could you actually achieve if you really pushed yourself? A comfort zone can feel protective but you’re not growing or changing by staying in it.

Live life in full bloom and give the sun a run for its money with the amount of light you share.

Good morning Saturday - let there be calm 🌻

You were made for slowness, connection, nature, laughter and deep presence. That’s where you belong. That’s where you can return.

Thought for Sunday: I woke early, around 4 am. The night was silent still calm I could hear the waves gently lapping by the pier through my open window. Bliss,perfect.

Silence can be so cathartic amongst the busy noise of life. Calming, uplifting,soothing.

It’s been a busy week but still Phone time to meet with lovely friends laughing and sharing and listening. Today brings more promises of sharing breakfast with friends and a lovely invitation for Sunday lunch with others I am truly blessed.

Special week with therapy clients seeing breakthroughs on their journey facing their shadows and seeing the light once again, bringing colour, joy and happiness back to themselves . I felt so humblle and grateful to be able to share in special moments.

May your week be filled with light and Hope

Lynds xx
