Inspired by a conversation with a friend, I thought I’d share a lesson with you today.

The healing spiral. 🌀 Some see it as beads on a string wrapped into a spiral. We hit the bead and another healing journey begins.

I see it as a cupboard, a closet, wardrobe, armoire. We do the work. The healing feels complete. We pack everything away and move on.

We raise our consciousness, and the door pops open. Everything tumbles out again. Another healing crisis and another journey begins.

My brother, as a carpenter, would see all the pieces that came for healing as made of wood. He’d imagine sanding them down to be a little smaller each time.

And away they go again.

Many years ago a friend going through divorce was at this place. She was too exhausted to sand. And instead hers were made of ice. She lay them in the sun to melt a little.

And back they went. The journey continues.

I hit a bursting cupboard yesterday. Grief popping out to say hello. I tried hard to shove it back. Today I’m sitting with it. Some sanding. Some melting. 🫠

No shoving. I’ll feel the feels. Hand on heart. Breathe. Move a little more slowly. Drink more tea. Cuddle the cats. And allow…

If you’ve read this far, I guess you get this. This isn’t for everyone to recognise. May you allow gentleness and love along the journey.

Big love 💕

Chatting with an old friend, I shared I’d met someone new. I said ‘you must meet her.’ And that she was ‘mad as a box of frogs.’

We laughed and added, so are we!

When your tribe shows up…embrace the f**k out of them!

Some of us don’t do ‘normal.’ 😁

Imbolc arrives, and we feel the days beginning to lengthen. Brigid has spread her cloak across the land, blessing us with the slow and gentle return of the light.

We’ve been wintering and enjoying the slowness of the season. Don’t jump into action yet Dearheart. We’re only half way through!

But do start to notice the changes. Here in the Algarve we’re already seeing narcissi blossoming. Almond trees with their exquisite pink flowers leading the dance into spring.

Back in Ottawa, my home for 25 years, winter is in full swing with the Winterlude Festival. The canal frozen, ice statues illuminated all over the city.

And you? What are you noticing? Lift your chin up and look around. What beauty and magic can you find?

There are many who don’t want to see the light, preferring to wallow in the darkness. But like sun hidden by clouds, it’s always there.

Choose.

Feeling bad? Chances are the negative voice in your head we call ‘the script’ has got you in its grip.

Don’t fight it, but go change things up. Talk to someone. A trusted friend, counsellor, your coach or your priest.

Call a help line. Reach out. You aren’t alone.

I've noticed that Valentine's Day is being promoted already. It seems we go from one marketing celebration to another. Rapidly.

To be honest, I nearly picked up some Belgium chocolates for myself. And then, I thought 'really?' Why.....

I do love the idea of celebrating. I'm a big fan of noticing the joys in life and honouring them. And, of course, the idea of a celebration of love really resonates.

But, does it have to be on a specific date? And does it have to be romantic love?

As you can imagine, if you follow me, my response to that is...well f**k that!

So although we're not at Valentine's Day yet, I've decided to send you an unromantic love note...

You are worthy. You matter. And you are loved.

I probably will go back and buy myself the chocolates...

Big love 🥰

Create, contribute and love…

Don’t give up Dearheart. Take a rest. A time out. A break. But don’t give in to the temptation to numb your life away.

Look up. Even if you can’t see the sun through the clouds, it’s there. Shining. The clouds don’t last forever.

And sometimes when they disperse they leave behind a rainbow.

Look up at the night sky. Feel the moon’s energy. Marvel at the stars.

Reach out to friends. To loved ones. Watch movies that uplift and inspire. Invite someone over to watch with you.

It doesn’t have to be big and dramatic. It just has to be real…create, contribute and love.

Big love 💕

“There’s a misconception that grief only happens when we lose people. This is not true.

We can grieve circumstances, relationships, missed opportunities.

In fact, sometimes when you find yourself plagued with waves of emotion from sadness to melancholy you may be grieving yourself.

The version of yourself that you might have been if things had been different, or if only you had said something, or if someone had stood up for you.”
