It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas now in our house hold. Yesterday, my husband, daughter and I watched Muppets Christmas Carol (because its legendary) and put our decorations up. It was joyus 🥰
I was reflecting as I put up the tree, that things dont have to be perfect for Christmas (or any other time, really) to be great. Blessings can be small and part of each and every day e.g. the cup of tea a partner makes you, a text from a friend, the colour of the sky, the way the dogs are so overjoyed to see you after you've been away.. even if it is only to the bathroom 😆. Everyday is a new opportunity to fully appreciate these blessings with an open heart ❤️

What blessings are you grateful for today?

Release and let go of what no longer serves you, fills your heart, or ignites your soul.
What is meant to be will be. Sometimes accepting this can be a journey in itself. But there is always hope beyond the now and everyday is an opportunity for a new beginning.

🕯️ Lest We Forget 🕯️

Today, we pause to remember the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of all who served — and those who continue to bear the emotional weight of service.

As we honour their bravery, we also acknowledge the unseen battles many face long after the uniforms are hung up — the memories, grief, and the struggles that live on in hearts and minds.

Lest we forget — not just today, but every day.

Winding down for annual leave.

I will be away from office 16th October-3rd November.

All emails will be answered in a timely manner in the days after my return.

Thank you 🙂

CHANGE THE WAY YOU SEE
I don’t have crow’s feet,
I have happy, happy memories of laughing with friends until the tears flowed.
I don’t have frown lines,
I have the marks of my frustration and confusion, which I battled through, smiling in the end.
I am not going grey,
I have shimmering highlights of wisdom, dashed throughout my silver hair.
I don’t have scars,
I have symbols of the strength I was able to find when life got tough.
I don’t have stretch marks,
I have the marks of growth and the marks of motherhood. My womanly evolution.
I am not fat,
I bear the evidence of a life filled with abundance, blessings, and good times.
I am not just forgetful,
I have a mind so full of stories, memories, and moments that there is scarce room to hold much else.
I am not old,
I am blessed with a life of great length, something not everyone can say.
Don’t change the way you look, my friend,
change the way you see.

Value Your Peace

Value your peace,
not other people’s opinions,
judgements or assumptions.

Voices will come and go,
colored by their own experiences,
shaped by their emotions and insecurities.

But your peace is yours,
a steady ground,
untouched by passing words.

Hold to it gently,
protect it fiercely,
and let it matter more
than the noise of others.

Barriers to self care: Exhibit A – my sausage dogs 🛁🐾

Today I thought I’d have a relaxing bath… but apparently I forgot to consult the CEOs of Chaos first.
We had:

Jumping up mid-bubble soak

Judgy side-eyes from the doorway

Whining like I’d abandoned them for 3 years

And the grand finale: a soggy toy dropped straight into the bubbles like, "Here, you look bored."

How dare I take 5 minutes for myself, right?! 😂
What funny "barriers" have you faced when trying to sneak in a bit of self care?

Absolutely loved pride today ❤️
A world of love, kindness, and compassion is everything ❤️

Every human being deserves love ❤️

🤫 3 Quirky Things You Won’t Catch Me Doing… But I Definitely Do!

😅Talking to myself like I’m on a TED Talk.

It’s not weird, it’s strategic. Problem-solving out loud helps me think clearer — and yes, I answer back.

🥲 Turning my feelings into random songs.
Anxious? Sad? Overthinking? 🎶 “Let’s put that in a dramatic Broadway melody and move on.” It’s my favorite coping + defusion tactic. Sing on.

😋 Laughing at things that aren’t funny.
Like, at all. But for some reason, those are always the funniest things to me.

Because hey — we all have our “little weird” that gets us through the day.

👉 What’s one thing you secretly do that gets you through life?
