I've chosen three cards this morning from the Earth Magic deck by Steven Farmer. Love this deck 💖

I'll be back to reveal your card and message tomorrow. Have a peaceful day. Karen xx

As the wheel turns and the ancient Celtic festival of Beltane calls in light, warmth, and new beginnings, you’re warmly invited to step into a space to breathe, balance and become. This gentle, soul-nourishing retreat is an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and realign with yourself in a season bursting with life and possibility. Through moments of calm, connection and creativity, you’ll be supported in softening the noise of everyday life and tuning back into your own natural rhythm.

Beltane has long been a time of transformation, a threshold between what has been and what is ready to bloom. This gathering is designed to honour that energy, offering you the chance to release, restore, and step forward feeling grounded, inspired, and renewed. Whether you come seeking stillness, clarity, or a spark of something new, this experience holds space for you to simply arrive as you are… and gently become 🌿✨

I am so grateful to collaborate on this offering with my cherished friend and Soul Sister Linda Hennebry of The Healing Lair Linda hails from South Tipperary and is a Reiki Master, IET Practitioner and Kitchen Witch. A lover of the green world, observer of the Celtic wheel and honourer of the old ways ✨️🧙‍♀️🍃🌱

Let the magic begin ✨️

Grand Rising. I hope you had peaceful dreams.

I had to postpone Mellow Mondays online meditation a couple of weeks back as it was slap bang between Mother's Day and St. Patrick's Day (my bad!). It didn't suit most of you so I've moved it to this coming Monday 30th March at 8pm on Zoom. A number of places are already booked but if you'd like to join us for an hour of absolute YOU time, message me to book in. I'll share below some of the original post information.

Would you like to start your week off in a much more relaxing and positive way? Forget Manic Monday, you deserve Mellow Monday 💖

Think pjs, a blanket, soft lighting, grounding, a gentle meditation and a card for guidance. All from the comfort of your own bed or armchair. One hour to set you up for the week ahead by taking you by the hand and gently leading you back to yourself.

Change how you feel about Monday.

Mellow Mondays take place on Zoom and investment is €11.

Feel free to T A G or S H A R E with anyone who might need some mellow in their Monday 🌸

Have a peaceful day today 🌸

Hey there. We made it. My second favourite F word 👐

Congratulate yourself today on all the little wins this week. When you showed up, pushed through , didn't lose your sh*t or when you walked away. They may be massive wins for you. Well done. Take a moment to breathe and feel gratitude deep in your heart.

Have a feel-good Friday 🌸

Just a little reminder that we are never alone. Our deceased loved ones, guides and ancestors still walk with us, support and surround us. When we call on them, we show up, we do the work, we release, we break the cycles etc, they literally dance with joy.

Let me know if you see it 🔥

Have a terrific Thursday.

The Healing Lair

22/03/2026

Under the watchful eye of a beautiful waxing crescent moon, and beneath the protective branches of an ancient oak tree, myself and The Healing Lair created our own Spring Equinox ritual last night. To release the old, the outdated, that which hurt or wounded, and all that no longer serves. Through grounding, clearing with eucalyptus and burning with fire, surrounded by a circle of loving and protective ancestors and loved ones, we gave ourselves permission to, and held the space for each other to let go. In doing so, we cleared the path for wonderful new energy, blessings and opportunities to find us. Woven into our ritual was music, movement, laughter, joy, tears, release, stillness and silence. A perfect combination. We remained by our fire until the sky turned inky black and a blanket of stars revealed itself. A truly powerful night with one of my soul sisters. The first of many. Our minds, hearts and hands are open to welcome & receive the new. Blessed Be 🙏

Speaking of new, keep an eye out here in the coming days for our collaborative Beltane Event which will be open for booking shortly 🌸

I had the pleasure of spending three days and three nights with my Grandson last weekend. It was probably twenty years since I last took care of someone his age for an extended period and I was excited. Everyone had tried to prepare me for having a Grandson. "You'll love being a grandparent." "You can enjoy them more". "It's a different kind of love minus the worry and responsibility of owning them". But nothing could prepare me for how much I love this little guy and what he has reminded/taught me lately.

The few days I spent with him were bliss. I had time off work and had nowhere to be and nothing to do besides take care of him. I never expected to come away from the experience with so much awareness.

Here's what I learned;

1. The Power of Routine

As a free spirited, Enneagram 7, Piscean, routine and structure in my personal life do not come naturally. I can toe the line and be really disciplined when it comes to work/business, but I strongly dislike being tied to time otherwise. I actually began to enjoy the routine aspect. That sense of knowing what needs to be done next and when. He could almost tell me himself but to see how routine reassured him was amazing. His little habits and rituals are so cute.

2. Regular Meals

Again, I can be a disaster at this. I used to skip breakfast, sometimes lunch and then spend the evening catching up. I was often dizzy with hunger but too busy to stop. During those three days, I ate three meals every day at the right times, and snacks too. Proper meals as he was eating what I cooked. It felt so good to be nourishing my body the way I'm meant to and that he was clearing his plate and enjoying it too.

3. A bedtime routine

He loves going to bed and never says no to going. One of the nights I put him to bed and I fell asleep with him and stayed there. He was so snuggly and cosy, why would I move? That meant I was in bed from half nine that night. I woke the next morning feeling good and ready to get up. I kept thinking "what the hell keeps me up so late". I really want to work on this.

3. Fun & Play

To just sit and watch him play was so lovely. To be able to play with him was a gift. Children learn through play and every day he learned something new. The simplest things made him laugh so loud and he is a born mimic. Time just slowed down and I relished that. We had great fun and he blew my mind with how clever he is and how quick he retains things.

4. Fearless & Fear Less

When I brought him to the playground he was in his element. Off he went. I could barely keep up. He wanted to climb up steps and slides himself and wouldn't let me help him. I was so wound up in case he'd fall. He brushed my hand away. He ran off on me a couple of times. Twenty times I must have said "don't run". Why? That's all little ones want to do when they are free of the buggy. I had to keep telling myself to stop stressing and just let him enjoy it. He was totally fearless and I just needed to fear less.

5. Pick yourself up & carry on.

Any time he stumbles or falls, he doesn't whinge or complain. He just gets straight back up, dusts himself off, maybe rubs the sore place or looks for you to kiss it better, then keeps going. No drama or making a song and a dance. He literally just gets over himself. I could learn a thing or two here!

6. Love

The love and affection that comes from that little fella. I felt it in literal waves. A random head on my arm or touch or just him going "aaaaah" to me or leaning over to kiss me because he saw someone on the telly kiss. People were right. It's a different kind of love. It stops me in my tracks and gets me right in the heartstrings. There is no stress or drama attached to it. Just fun and laughing and snuggles and messing.

I learned so much from those few days with him. He is one of my greatest teachers and I'm blessed to be his Mamó 💙

One of my favourite sayings is "There is no present like the time". If you are lucky enough to have young people in your life, give them some of your time. Before they get older and cooler and won't want you near them! You might even learn something from them. If I could go back in time to when my girls were young, I'd do so much differently 💔
