I stood by your bed last night; I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying you found it hard to sleep.

I spoke to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
"It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."

I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many things and memories of me.

I was with you at the shops today; your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.

I was with you at my grave today; you tend it with such care.
I want to re-assure you, that I'm not lying there.

I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my hand on you; I smiled and said, "it's me."

You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.

It's possible for me, to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, "I never went away."

You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...
in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.

The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning
and say "good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning."

And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.

I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out...then come home to me

Back Home

If I had the power to turn back the clock,
and go back to that house at the end of the block.
The house that was home when I was a kid,
i know that I’d love it more now than I did.
If I could be back there at my mothers knee,
and hear once again,the things she told me.
I’d listen now as I never listened before,
for she knew so well what life had in store.
And all the advice my dad used to give…
his voice I’ll remember as long as I live.
But it didn’t seem really important then,
what I’d give to live it all over again.
What I’d give for the chance I once had,
to do so much more for my mom and dad.
To give them more joy and little less pain,
a little more sunshine-a lot less rain.
But years roll on and i cannot go back,
whether I was born in a mansion or a shack.
I can start right now in the hour that’s here,
to do something more for the ones I hold dear.
And since time in its flight is traveling so fast,
I can’t spend it regretting that which is past.
But i’ll try to make tomorrow a happier day,
By doing my Good unto Others…Today.

'My mother’s heart was broken
My father’s heart was too
The day I walked out through this door
And bade a fond adieu
I was only sixteen years of age
And thought I knew it all
The world it was my oyster
And I had heard the call
To take the boat to England
And sail the Irish Sea
To seek out fame and fortune
And notoriety
The streets were paved with gold I’d heard
And work was everywhere
I’d fill my pockets to the brim
With coins of every fare
So off I set that very day
The weather warm and mild
My parents standing at the door
As they watched their only child
My mother’s tears ran down her face
Like raindrops in the night
My dear beloved father
He held her close and tight
And soon enough I landed
On England’s rugged shore
I was looking for a place to stay
I knocked on every door
All the rooms were taken
I stood and wondered why
Then I saw a sign that read
No Irish need apply
As time went by I found it hard
To try and make ends meet
Without a bed to lay my head
I slept out on the street
I sent a letter once or twice
To my dearest darling mother
I told a lie that things were good
And then I told another
For many years things just got worse
And then I took to drink
I lost all sense of place and time
My life went down the sink
And then one day it happened
I decided to go home
I’d step onboard the boat once more
And sail across the foam
I couldn’t wait to see the smile
Upon my mother’s face
To see my father’s cheery grin
And to feel his loving grace
The journey back it took no time
I soon stepped off the boat
The air was chilled with Irish mist
I then put on my coat
I walked along the country road
Where I had walked before
I couldn’t wait to hear the knock
Upon my mother’s door
It was then I met a neighbour
Who lived way up the lane
His frame had aged his hair was grey
His face was filled with pain
He looked so sad and so forlorn
As he gently came my way
He said he was so sorry
For those who’d passed away
He said my darling mother
Died from a broken heart
My dearest father also went
With her he couldn’t part
He said he sent a letter
To a priest in Cricklewood
To tell me what had happened
To find me if he could
It was then I saw this little house
All broken and forlorn
The window in the room was broke
The room where I was born
I walked up very slowly
And knocked upon the door
Imagining that I could hear
My mother’s voice once more
I then walked to their graveside
That was placed upon a hill
Teardrops rolling down my cheeks
The air was quiet and still
And there they lay so peacefully
My parents meek and mild
As here I stood with a broken heart
Their one and only child...'

On the eve of Mothers Day here is a reminder for us all.
We are responsible for the relationship between us and Mother Earth. She gives us the air we breathe the water we drink and the food we need to stay healthy. Our relationship with Mother Earth/ our environment and life support system has been badly neglected.

Authenticity is everything! You have to wake up every day and look in the mirror, and you want to be proud of the person who's looking back at you. And you can only do that if you're being honest with yourself and being a person of high character. You have an opportunity every single day to write that story of your life.

It's Not How Big The House Is, Its How Happy The Home Is

Our home affects us more than we think that’s why it’s crucial to make a sanctuary out of it and not a space of clutter and stress. Big houses are impressive but what counts the most is the quality of life it helps us achieve. According to the psychology of a happier home, colour, arrangement, and the presence of plants contribute to the wellness of the dwellers. But most importantly, a home should be a place of refuge, a place where everyone is treated with love and respect.

REPEAT AFTER ME:

I don't need to do what everyone wants me to do.
I don't have to anticipate people's needs.
I don't need anyone to approve of me.
I don't have to explain myself.
I don't need to feel guilty about my boundaries.
I don't have to say yes if I want to say no.
I don't need to feel bad for staying home.
I don't have to overextend myself to be enough.
I don't need to feel the way someone else feels.
I don't have to minimize my emotions.
I don't need to pretend I'm different than T am.
I don't have to put others before myself.

Moving through my life, I make myself my priority

"If you want to fall back in love with yourself, focus.

Focus on the things that compel you, the things that stir something deep inside of yourself.
Focus on the people who inspire you, the ones who support you and encourage you to grow into the person you have always wanted to be.
Focus on the things that hurt and create noise in your life, and commit to distancing yourself from them. You have to be comfortable walking away from the people and the thoughts that no longer serve you. You have to be comfortable with walking away from the chaos of it all."
Bianca Sparacino

"No matter who you are, what you look like, or what you share with the world, there will always be someone who doesn’t approve. And that’s okay. You’re not going to like everyone and not everyone is going to like you. And that isn’t some fundamental failing on your part – that’s just life. It’s normal, and it’s nothing to beat yourself up over. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to be accepted, but you shouldn’t ever have to change who you are for the sake of winning someone else’s approval. You don’t live for other people. It isn’t your job to conform to their idea of what constitutes a “worthwhile” human being. You are who you are, and you’re enough. Instead of focusing on all the people who don’t accept or appreciate you, take some time today to remind yourself of all the people who do. It’s easy to forget about them, but they exist and they care. They’re the people who matter. To them, you matter. Let go of the rest."

Happy International Women's Day to all you beautiful women on my page. I am so blessed to have such wonderful people connecting with me daily. I truly love creating my quotes, and I hope they inspire you and make your day that tiny bit better.

The theme for International Women's Day 2026 is "Give to Gain" – a call to help forge gender equality through abundant giving. When people, organisations, and communities give generously, opportunities and support for women increase. When women thrive, we all rise.

Count all the ways you’re beautiful;
Your soul and your spirit,
Your brilliant body
And all the wonder within it.
Your heart full of love,
Your mind full of care,
Your eyes full of awe,
Your lungs full of air.
Your chest full of pride,
Your muscles full of strength,
Your brain full of questions,
Your compassion, immense.
Your hands that can comfort,
Your words that can soothe,
the conscience that roots you
In the good, right, and true.
You are a miracle,
Unique through and through.
So count the ways you’re beautiful
And always be proud of yourself!

May we all grow through what we go through in our lives...Let's support each other and watch each other grow. Always be there for each other
