Advent of Words to live by… ✨

Every day in December I will be posting an advent-calendar-style message you need to hear.

I love a good advent calendar and these days we have chocolate advent calendars, cosmetics coffee, you name it.

I will be bringing you little parcels of comfort, hope, or just a perspective shift to move you out of overwhelmed and back into calm and peaceful.
Or at the very least, grateful: Because the state of gratitude is a powerful thing.

I will also be suggesting a journalling prompt you can carry out to help yourself or a small act of kindness to add to the ripple effect that keeps the whole world facing the light.

(This may seem like a task (and you have more than enough of those) but this will return the energy to you ten-fold in power 🤩.)

It is not easy, this life, even when it is wonderful. We need one another. And we need reminders of the fact that we are not alone, never, ever alone.

This community is a kind one.

What a thing.

Today… give yourself a treat of some kind - be that space from guilt and criticism in your thoughts or an hour of you-time doing whatever fuels your soul.

You are worthy.

(All of the words on my advent windows will be from ‘Joy Chose You’ or my journal ‘Words To Live By’)

Throughout our lives, we will meet a wide variety of people with different personalities, backgrounds, and journeys. Some, we may connect with easily. Some, we may find hard to be with. In any case, we are all influenced by each other.

So be discerning about who you welcome into your inner circle. Because it doesn’t matter how many courses we take. Or how many books we read. Or how many blogs we follow. Nothing will push us to growth more than the relationships we have, and the people we trust. The people who believe in us. The ones who support our dreams. The ones who love us and challenge us to reach our potential, not only in what we do, but in how we walk through life. Who is that for you? These are the ones to keep close.

Drop a 💞if you agree.

Letters to a Willow Tree:

Letter I:
It may seem at times
that you rarely get to witness
beautiful change,
but the way you remain,
roots deep in soft ground,
branches fully alive in the air,
is its own form of
slow, beautiful direction,
set in motion, holding ground
through rain and wind.
The landscape remembers.
and your steadiness and gentleness matter,
as movement and stillness
find rhythm around you.
You are free to be in process here.

Letter II:
It may seem at times
that you rarely get to witness
beautiful change,
but the way you remain,
roots deep in soft ground,
branches fully alive in the air,
is its own form of
slow, beautiful direction,
set in motion, holding ground
through rain and wind.
The landscape remembers.
and your steadiness and gentleness matter,
as movement and stillness
find rhythm around you.
Your presence here is not in vain.

Love this 💕💕💕

We are born with the capacity for love and kindness. But kindness is a choice, not a trait you're born with. It's a conscious decision to remain gentle, to have faith in humanity, and to understand the significance of compassion, even in the face of adversity.

The kindest souls are those who have consciously nurtured empathy, softened in the face of adversity, and upheld the belief in the inherent goodness of humanity.

By embracing compassion, they illuminate a path of understanding, unity, and healing, reminding us all of the profound impact kindness can have on our world.
