My spot It's difficult to explain the pleasure I My spot  It's difficult to explain the pleasure I get from sitting in this little spot.  I'm not sure if it's the mere fact that it's 'mine'.  Or if it's that it symbolises that at some point I acknowledged I wanted a spot. Most likely just to read. Or to listen. But that it's sole purpose would be for something quiet, for me, because I finally see that's what does me good.  Or the fact that the icing on the cake was being given this little chair, that I've always coveted, that was my gran's.  But whatever it is, it works magic. It doesn't take long, sat in front of the window, for something in me to settle some. Sometimes the sun streams through and I'll be drenched in it's goodness. Other times it will be grey and rainy and still I'm delivered some bounty inside just by being there.  I'm not sure why I tell you this. Maybe because I'll soon be hitting the big 5-0 and it's taken me this long to start to acknowledge those unmet needs and stop trying to make them something they'll never be. I need peace and space. It sometimes feels that's so incongruous with what the world tells us we need. So I guess maybe I'm telling you in case you need your spot too. Go find it, you won't regret it, I promise ♥️  #feedyoursoul

Happy Sunday everyone I'm loving getting out for Happy Sunday everyone  I'm loving getting out for crispy walks on the Downs at the mo. It keeps me from over-watching the news!  #ourgroundedwinter #southdownsnationalpark #patcham #beautyinnature #frostymorning #walking
Pottering The sun is glorious. The mud is frozen. Pottering  The sun is glorious. The mud is frozen. The frost sparkles.  The air is crisp and fills my lungs with its goodness.  I can feel I'm drifting at the mo. But that's ok hey. If you can't drift in January (especially this bloody one), then when can you?  Hope you are faring as ok as can be in the continued melee.  #stanmerwoods #breathoffreshair #naturelockdownday #nomassage #carryon #timeforme #drifting #ourgroundedwinter
Treasure My mum and dad had another clear out. Mo Treasure  My mum and dad had another clear out. Most of my childhood favourite books have already been passed to me in previous rounds of decluttering. But somehow not these.  I love books. Absolutely love them. These are why. A childhood where I was fortunate enough to have gems like these to escape into and learn from. I wonder how many times the covers of the Little Red Riding Hood one were folded open and tied back to stay in their round before diligently being returned to 'normal'. How many times I travelled to the top of the Faraway Tree.  During the first lockdown I spent more time reading. Proper time, not just abit tacked onto the end of the day. It brought such peace that I realised not just how much I'd missed it, but how I needed it. It felt like a breath of fresh air. It hasn't taken long for the old patterns to return and for it to be left for when I have the time rather than me making that time. Until this last few weeks where I started to feel like I might burst. You need to read girl, I told myself. And so read I have. Not as much as I'd like, but enough to sow the seed again of its therapeutic magic.  I felt the joy spread across my face as I saw these old books again. The joy I undoubtedly felt as a child reading them. Treasure, old and new  #bookmagic

The Journey I came across this beautiful poem by The Journey  I came across this beautiful poem by Mary Oliver the other day ...  One day you finally knew
what you had to do, and began,
though the voices around you
kept shouting
their bad advice
though the whole house
began to tremble
and you felt the old tug
at your ankles
"Mend my life!"
each voice cried. 
But you didn't stop.
You knew what you had to do,
though the wind pried
with its stiff fingers
at the very foundations,
though their melancholy
was terrible.
It was already late
enough, and a wild night,
and the road full of fallen
branches and stones.
But little by little,
as you left their voices behind,
the stars began to burn
through the sheets of clouds,
and there was a new voice
which you slowly
recognised as your own,
that kept you company
as you strode deeper and deeper
into the world,
determined to do
the only thing you could do --
determined to save
the only life you could save.  For you all in this crazy world, but particularly for those whose voice has been stifled, whose authenticity is trying to find its breath, particularly for us (thank you beautiful @alifemoreinspired for today's inspiration)  #findingyourself #voices #hereiam #love #self #liveyourlife #thebestyou

There she stood Her gentle beauty calling me from There she stood  Her gentle beauty calling me from the path. Delicate and strong, showing me you can be both.  I needed that today. Off to the woods to try to shake off all the thoughts I have about this lockdown that doesn't feel like a lockdown. The division, the injustice, the lies our government tells, how good it is at misleading us. Sometimes I can't see past it all even though I know how fortunate I am. So then in comes the guilt to top off the layers.  In the woods nothing matters. The leaves, the mud, the swaying branches. The life that only listens to itself and the seasons. And that beautiful little tree with her message just for me.  #lockdownlife

Sigur Ros My favourite band (along with Gorillaz) Sigur Ros  My favourite band (along with Gorillaz). I drafted a long post earlier which took ages and then I decided it didn't feel right. So it's stored away, maybe for a bolder day. Maybe never.  Once upon a time I'd have berated myself for the wasted time. Instead I'm not.  I'm sat in the little never decorated room that I am fortunate to have to work in. Looking at a reminder that I have pinned on my wall from @suzydarke (😘) for days like today. Days where I am full of things to say that just won't come out. Days where I feel I'm too much and it feels like the world is too much too. A reminder to be kind to myself. And I'm listening to Sigur Ros who always penetrate deeply into my soul. Gradually getting acquainted with feeling it all, whatever it is. And starting to believe that holding out my hand to discomfort (thank you @sarahfinds) rather than trying to shut it off might actually be exciting.  It's pouring but there is light, even if not immediately evident.  Have a good weekend my lovelies ♥️  #rainydays #hopeful #light #soulfulwork #hereiam
Friday I'm having a lovely day of admin. Accounts Friday  I'm having a lovely day of admin. Accounts done and now learning about the feet before moving onto the website. One day I might even tackle SEO, but not today 😉  How about you?  (Thanks @born_to_walk I'm catching up with the APNT webinar, it's fab!)  #massagetherapist #massagebrightonandhove #healthandwellbeing #healinghands #womeninbusiness #smallbusiness #relaxationmassage #deeptissuemassage
