Harnessing 47 years experience in public service, (mainly Nursing, Education and Pastoral Ministry) I hope my posts inform & reassure, heal & uplift.

Today marks the shortest day of the year and so the longest night. I love the hope of brighter days that is hidden in the Winter Solstice.

In these 10 days leading up to New Year’s Eve, as well as support for the grieving, I am going to post a number of reels for anyone who feels they need a renewed sense of purpose and a little more self confidence. This might help towards making achievable New year resolutions.

Sometimes we all need to be reminded to have faith in ourselves. You are enough. I hope these reels help you to appreciate just how valuable and valued you are.

The Harwood Park Carol Service. A bitter-sweet evening of human connection with reflections on the spirit of Christmas. This is a well attended event for the local grieving community. I have loved leading these fabulous evenings for as often as I have. I can’t remember if it’s 9 or 10 times but every single one has been a blessing. I put a great deal of thought and energy into these services to make them fun, poignant and relatable, without marginalising the story of The Nativity. I am glad they have been so favourably received. In short, it’s been an amazing experience.

The dedicated team, under the leadership of David Hall, are such a great bunch of people. They work together beautifully to make the evening go as smoothly as it does and then turn the chapel back into a space of comfort and reflection for the following day.

It was lovely to see some new families I’ve recently helped and also my families from across the years - and so many of them too!

As more and more services of Christmas remembrance take place, the reality of them becoming increasingly secular seems to match the current trend. I make no apology for having always kept this service Christian and I thank the Austin family for preserving the reason for the season.

Harwood Park Carol service of remembrance. Another ‘standing room only’ evening, beautifully organised by the Harwood Park team who work so hard to make the evening one to remember.

How wonderful it was to see so many people there including many of the families I’ve helped over the years who have since become friends. I just love this evening and try to make it a meaningful one full of light and shade. X

Well, this made me smile. This was for the last meditation I uploaded. I will be focusing more on meditations and relaxation podcasts next year.

I have only just been able to look at my birthday cards properly and I think I may need a word with my nephew and niece in law. 😳
