🕊️💔🕊️💔🕊️

In memory of all of those who left us too soon.
We remember you in the morning,
In the night,
When we look at the stars.
A song, a place, a smell…
You are always with us…

To mark this Armistice Day, let’s remember and send our love to those precious souls who laid down their lives for our freedom, those who have selflessly sacrificed themselves in conflict since then and those who continue to put themselves in harms way for others.

Such love, courage and devotion that’s as awe inspiring as it is humbling.

Also thinking of those of you who are grieving a loved one today. This grief, this pain, is all those ‘I love you’s’ we didn’t get to say.
Much love as always.

Our overall perspective on life colours the prism in which we see the world through, and this is directly affected by whatever we consciously and emotionally identify with.

This prisms view will also colour how we see ourselves, our role in the world and how we relate to and associate with others.

Whether this is a positive or negative perspective is largely dependent upon our beginnings, our original environments and care givers, which shapes so much about us, but also upon all we encounter on the journey of life and how we interpret the circumstances we face.

An example of this may be someone who identifies as a ‘victim’ either through learned behaviour or life circumstance. Where all they experience through this negative lens will feed into this set identity.

Without a shift in perspective through self awareness, this way of identifying themselves will self perpetuate until such a point of change is reached.

Awareness is key in this, often brought through feedback from others or within a therapeutic setting. If a person wishes to shift their perspective and change what they are emotionally identifying with, they absolutely have the power to do so.

As every change begins with us.

This moment from my life was one of the best, and without doubt ‘expanded my happiness.’

Our lives, much like the seasons, move through storms and sunshine, where the worst of the weather may remain hidden within our inner worlds, yet often we portray a demeanour of pure sunshine to those on the outside.

This wasn’t the case for me on this day, but it may sound like a familiar way of being to many of you. If so, you are certainly not alone in this and many of us get caught in this cycle of ‘people pleasing’ behaviours, letting others cross our boundaries as we don’t have the inner fuel of self valuing and worth to back them up.

This was me for most of my adult life, until I was encouraged to look at myself under the microscope during the course of my training to become a therapist.

I learnt all sorts of shocking things about myself and realised, most importantly, none of it was my fault.

We are all products of our families of origin and I emerged into adulthood with non-existent boundaries, an anxious attachment style and a warped idea of how a loving relationship should be, as this is the template that was set for me.

Finding true happiness for many of us is our life’s purpose, and one of the best ways we can propagate it’s expansion, is by recognising aspects within our lives that no longer bring us positive energy, whether that’s a person, career or situation.

Many reach this crossroad on the precipice of therapy or during the therapeutic journey itself. Where they learn to set firm boundaries and truly value themselves, often for the first time in their life, which sets them on the pathway to a more fulfilled and satisfying life, expanding not only their happiness, but the choices and possibilities that now lay open to them.

This is my favourite Rumi quote.

For me it denotes the journey of becoming, as we travel along our respective pathways towards enlightenment and serenity.

The deeper our wounds, the brighter our light will shine to illuminate this pathway for ourselves and those we are walking beside, as through our wounds we grow in wisdom, resilience and grace.

As a therapist I would describe myself as a ‘wounded healer’ as it’s safe to say I have met life. These wounds I carry enable me to connect deeply with my clients, within their pain, where my pure understanding and genuine empathy are their guide ropes through this painful process.

This light is love which leads us home to ourselves, our wounds the gateways which are accessed through our most painful experiences.

My hand is outstretched to receive yours as you begin your journey along this pathway back to yourself, for you hold the light within to guide our way.

So light up this world dear soul, as these difficulties you’ve faced in life, the sheer pain and fear you have encountered thus far along the way, these are your wounds which hold the truth and direction to lead you safely home.

Rumi had an incredible way of capturing the most meaningful fragments of our human condition, weaving them into words that communicate directly to our hearts and souls, even all these centuries on.

This particular quote holds such reverence and grace within a world that is holding on by a thread where love is concerned. From Rumi’s time to present day, It has become a selective commodity it seems, according to where we were born, our race and shade our skin just so happens to be… among many others..

Love smashes through prejudice, by its very nature it sees only the person it belongs to, as do I in my own small corner of our globe, everyone deserves love and it truly is the bridge to everything.

All of us know don’t we, that if we humans were not ruled over by people who were in love with power and money instead of their fellow man, our world would be a place we would all be welcome in, without fear of oppression for who we are or how we look, we could BE, we could love whoever we wanted, but mostly be free and unburdened to love each other.

There is such a long way to go and it’s so easy to lose hope at just one glance at the news.
I do believe in love and always will, it heals and builds bridges, it makes anything and everything possible, even peace, all we have to do is recognise we are one heart.

Sometimes life can feel like the proverbial ‘Groundhog Day,’ where one day seems to blend into another.

We all experience this feeling from time to time, as life inevitably ebbs and flows in the same daily rhythms and routines, just because it has to.

This feeling, if present, can become heightened during the darker months of the year, and, with the clocks going back here in the UK, the darkness has suddenly become far more noticeable earlier in the evening and later into the morning.

This lack of sunlight and definite nip in the air affects everyone’s ‘get up and go’ and the urge to snuggle back under the duvet to hibernate is very real!

All of us have days like this, but if you’ve noticed this feeling is becoming prevalent and beginning to get you down, and you’re not aware of any other issues in your life that may account for it, it may be time to address it.

The mere noticing of this feeling in the first place will have already set you on the pathway to explore, work through and resolve it, as every change begins with awareness.

Keeping a journal of your daily routine will help you work out the low points of your day and either by yourself or within a therapy setting, you can begin to explore ways of incorporating small, joy filled moments and activities to help break up this feeling of monotony. Also, exploring this feeling at depth will hold clues to its origin, helping you relate more compassionately each time.

When I was having a week of feeling a bit ‘Groundhoggy’ recently I incorporated a new tea into my morning routine and carved out time for myself to take a walk and spend time in nature, even if it was just to dead head my plants in the garden, which made such a difference.

Every change begins with an awareness that we’re not fully satisfied, happy or inspired in our lives, it begins with us tuning into our own needs and being honest with ourselves when things aren’t working.

Ultimately, we are the only ones who can change our lives for the better as every change begins with us.

All that’s for you will find you, so embrace the ebb and flow of life with grace and resilience and trust in the divine timing of the universe.

Wait patiently for your moment, as it’s when you surrender to the natural rhythms of life, that all you’ve worked so hard to create will bear the most beautiful fruit, all you’ve hoped for will be yours in the fullness of time ✨✨

Much love 🧡

This poem emerged from the sorrow, regret and guilt that gripped me within bereavement, feeling as though I had not fully savoured, as much as I could have, those precious moments I was blessed to share with my late Father.

These moments, just like sunsets, do not last for very long, yet are captured by the cameras of our hearts to dwell within us forever, the love and connection shared subsequently drawn from for comfort, in the desperation and finality of loss.

The sky provides us with so much beauty, endless warmth and the soothing light of grace, and all we have to do to receive them is let go. To offer up and surrender our loss to the heavens so we might receive the ethereal presence having been returned to.

As excruciating as some endings are, we can take this light within us to find our own meaning, our very own beauty in them.

The beauty of that fond farewell, its heartbreaking preciousness which nourishes us with each cycle around the sun, reminds us that even though the moment has past, the memories and love it scattered in its wake, will last, as dependably as the sky itself, for all eternity.

Often our journeys back to ourselves begin very tentatively. Hope is hidden and appears barely visible, yet it’s hiding, as represented here, within a light of inner knowing buried deep within all the same.

Our way back to ourselves is found within ourselves, and there’s so much beauty in that.

As our brains love repetition, and they are not able to differentiate between something that’s really happening or something that’s imagined, we truly are able to do much of the healing work ourselves, by becoming our own parent to meet all of our unmet needs for ourselves.

Repeating daily affirmations with intention and energy such as this one, and so the experts say, especially this one ‘You Are Enough’ sparks the process of Neurogenesis, which plays a significant role in brain rewiring, especially in areas related to memory and emotional regulation.

This was highlighted just yesterday with a client, working at depth with inner child therapy, where the repetition of loving affirmations brought many repressed memories to the fore.

Words such as ‘You are safe, you are significant, you are loveable, you matter, you are enough.’ Are particularly potent, as very often these are the things we didn’t hear as children.

Loving words said with meaning will help to generate new neurons and enable brand new neural pathways to form to rewrite those old labels we were tarnished with and to change our belief system about who we are, how we see the world and our roles in it.

Offering ourselves this authentic praise, where we truly embody each spoken word, will help to rebuild our self esteem, and even though it’s our own praise we are hearing, it’s just as healing, as our brains can’t tell the difference.

It will feel strange at first, your voice may well be small and frail as you repeat these words at first, reflecting perhaps the vulnerability of the small inner child that is so in need of them.

Your voice will grow along with your self esteem and you will just feel better. So give it a try.
