A moment to pause and witness.
We lit some candles today in Scartaglen Church after a busy morning in Castleisland.
The peace was beyond glorious and then this light shone through.
What a blessing🙌

Winter Solstice - The shortest day gives way to the longest night. From tomorrow the light begins to makes its way day by day, bit by bit back into our lives both physically and energetically. Deepest blessings to you all as we embrace the turn in this year.

She Began

She began in the deepest darkest pit.
Rock bottom to be precise.
One mere spark away from ashes.
She realised she couldn't do this on her own.
Feeble and vulnerable, she surrendered.
Lay herself into the hands of a higher power.
Trust.
Fear.
Excitement and Control danced around her very being.

What matters most of all is that she surrendered and she began.
Began a journey, that would transform her and the lives of those to follow.
It began and ended with her.
She began.
She began and she became in all the unbecoming.

These words💜
THE SACRED REPEAT
Not everything that comes back is meant to stay—
but everything that returns comes bearing a lesson.

Life teaches in echoes.
The same people, same patterns, same emotions resurface—
not to punish you, but to reveal what you’ve yet to fully see.
This is not failure. It’s refinement.
Each return is a sacred checkpoint asking:
Have you integrated the wisdom?
Have you chosen differently?
Are you awake now?

Growth isn’t always about forward motion.
Sometimes, it’s about staying present in the pattern—long enough to finally see through it.
Healing asks for repetition, not to exhaust you, but to empower you.
To give you another chance to respond from your truth, not your trauma.
To practice choosing alignment over avoidance.

The loop breaks not with effort, but with awareness.
When your soul no longer clings to what used to feel like safety—
when you stop confusing familiar with true.

This is what it means to evolve:
To meet the same story with a different ending.
To outgrow what once owned you.
To stop needing closure and start embodying clarity.

Don’t fear the return of the lesson.
Welcome it with honesty.
Look it in the eye and ask,
“What part of me have you come to liberate?”

Because every sacred repeat is a divine mirror—
a call to become more honest, more rooted, more whole.
It’s not a loop—it’s a spiral.
You’re not stuck—you’re deepening.
And what feels like going in circles
is often the soul’s way of circling back to itself.

You’re not meant to escape your patterns.
You’re meant to see through them,
and remember who you are beneath them.

This is my Grandmother Kitty Wrenn. A witty woman who said it like it was. Whilst brushing her hair at the age of 8 in her house in Cordal, she asked me who my friends were. I proceeded to tell her and she caught my hand and said always remember this girl.

'Show me your friends and I'll tell you who you are'.
Back then it didn't mean much , but with life experiences and getting older, I've realised the value of her words. I've had some incredible women come and go out of my life so far, with a deep and meaningful impact upon it. Be it lessons that needed to be learned or guidance upon this path. My circle is small but I believe this to be, the sieving that comes on this journey and I am grateful.

She once told me as she looked at my long blonde hair 'never let them cut your hair'.
With age I now realise this was more than just the physical, it was the action and the energetic meaning that also sits behind those words.

I have felt my Nan's energy has been with me the last few months. Her words will remain with me forever. Life experiences aged her so quickly but I love the glimmers that remain in my memory and its hard not to smile when I remember her bliguarding laugh and picturing her wry smile. To all the Women of my lineage your words held profound meaning🙌💙😘

“Pooh,” asked Piglet softly, “how do you know when it’s time to step away from the things that make you sad?”
Pooh thought for a good while, because it was the sort of question that touched both the heart and the tummy — and those, he knew, were the most important kinds of questions.
“Well, Piglet,” he said at last, “sometimes you notice that certain places or certain thoughts start to feel heavy — like trying to carry too many honey pots all at once. And then you remember that it’s perfectly all right to set some of them down.”
Piglet tilted his head. “But isn’t that leaving things behind?”
Pooh shook his head gently. “Not leaving, Piglet. Just choosing. Choosing to hold on to what keeps you warm inside, and to let go of what makes your paws ache. Because even in the Hundred Acre Wood, not every path is meant for every day. Some paths lead to sunshine, and some only to thistles.”
Piglet let out a small sigh of relief. “So self-care is knowing which path to take?”
“Exactly,” said Pooh. “It’s remembering that caring for your heart isn’t selfish. Because when your heart feels lighter, you have more kindness to share with the friends who need it most.”
And with that, Pooh leaned back against the log, a flower in his paw and a cup of warm tea beside him, thinking that true strength wasn’t in carrying everything — but in knowing when to carry less. 💚

Trials and tribulations, uncertainty of what the future held.
She poured love from her heart through kindness everyday .
She almost gave her last drop of life within herself away.
But her heart spoke......
"What about you and what you deserve.
Now is your time. You have done more than your bit. I have been with you through it all and I have kept going so that we could one day see this day together.
This is your time to hold all within you and set your inner fire and lust for life, alive again.
❤️I burn for life, new opportunity, new growth, new horizons. From today on....I beat with fire, I beat for you and for you alone.
Today is your day, seize it and seize me"

She burst up like the Phoenix from the flames and in her hand she held her now bright and fiery heart. She had made the choice. Her heart beat with self love and set alight new visions and paths for her future.
Her mind no longer ruled her very being, it, was her heart.
Her fiery heart❤
- Edel Shorten

I dedicate this to all those who pour their hearts everyday with love and kindness to all. Remember you too need your time to shine, to live, to self love and not feel guilty for it . Let your bright fiery hearts lead the way.

Dust off your tired feet
Re-enter your Sacred Story
Unearth memories long forgotten in the crevices of your heart
No matter if you believe that ruin is there
Because under layers of emotional sediment and pain
You can find your most brilliant gifts and talents
Your truth
Your voice
Your unique genius

If you dare to stay a little longer
Stars will fall on your being
Your bones awakened
The soil of your soul
Ready to receive new seeds of hope
A path unfolding
As you breathe in cosmic energy
Stardust raining upon your being

And you feel seen
Heard
Empowered and Uplifted
To stand in your power
To walk the earth with reverence
Hearing the calling from deep within
To heal
To witness your becoming
Who you are meant to be
To fulfill your purpose
'Cause the wound of the world bleeds
Asking to be mended by YOUR medicine
YOUR knowledge
YOUR deep knowing
YOUR love and care..................................................
