“Be the person who cares. Be the person who makes the effort, the person who loves without hesitation. Be the person who bears it all, the person who never shies away from the depth of their feeling, or the intensity of their hope. Be the person who believes - in the softness of the world, in the goodness of other people, in the beauty of being open and untethered and trusting. Be the person who takes the chance, who refuses to hide. Be the person who makes people feel seen, the person who shows up. Trust me when I say - be the person who cares. Because the world doesn’t need any more carelessness, any more disregard; because there is nothing stronger than someone who continues to stay soft in a world that hasn’t always been kind to them.”

A slow return to posting after my holiday due to a wish to immerse myself fully in the experience surrounding the passing of Her Majesty the Queen. In a world where people strive to be acknowledged for their achievements, how beautiful that the one person to be loved and admired universally has shown us the true power of a smile, and the lasting impact of caring and kindness.

“We spend too
Much time in
Our heads.
Analysing.
Wondering.
Asking.
Planning.
Stop.
Come back to
Here, now.
Where I am,
It’s mid afternoon
In late summer.
The sunlight
Is flooding the
Grass and ground.
It feels still.
And that’s all
There is for now.
And all is well.”

Beautiful late summer - the season with that special gentle light. The time has arrived for me to stop and I shall soon be off to spend my favourite time of year in the West Country. I shall resume posting again mid September. I wish you all a wonderful couple of weeks and a very happy Bank Holiday to everyone here in the UK.
With much love Sarah 🤍xx

“Your life is happening right now. Your life doesn’t begin when you achieve something or you become something; it is happening this very second. The happiness, self acceptance, worth, peace and purpose that you’re seeking can only be found now, where you are, it is within you. If your present isn’t a reflection of your best life, things can only improve once you have made peace with the present - or found peace in it, and once you have centred yourself and aligned with the essence that is within you now. Commit yourself to making the most out of this moment, so many never got the chance to.”

“Take a break from worrying so much about yourself. Pause from overthinking and overanalysing every little decision you make. You cannot always live in the fear of whether you are doing enough with your time, or if you’re meeting the expectations you’ve set for yourself. Remember if you constantly focus on these things, you’re not being present in the moment, right now. You are not enjoying the rewards that your hard work earns you. You are not experiencing your own journey. So, talk yourself out of the idea that every moment in your life has to be a great achievement. You are meant to be happy. You are meant to take each day as it comes and live and appreciate your life instead of treating it like it’s some sort of competition you’re meant to win.”

“Be a walking contradiction. Be strong and soft. Be deep and lighthearted. Be beautiful and intelligent. Be confident and humble. Be someone with a quick wit and a cheap sense of humour. Be content climbing a mountain and enjoying the sweetness of doing nothing. The world may try and classify you as one thing because that is far easier to understand than a person who has a little bit of everything in them. And you may feel misunderstood for a while, but just remember your people can only find you if you’re brave enough to be yourself. There are parts of you that you have yet to discover. There is greater love that you have yet to find. There are experiences that are far beyond your imagination. And it’s all waiting for you. Life is waiting for you. So set aside your expectations and go and explore it.”

A room does not
Turn its back on grief.
Anger does not excite it.
Before desire, it neither responds
Nor draws back in fear.
.
Without changing expression
It takes
And gives back;
Not a tuft in the mattress alters.
.
Windowsills evenly welcome
Both heat and cold.
Radiators speak or fall silent
As they must.
.
Doors are not equivocal,
Floorboards do not hesitate or startle.
Impatience does not stir the curtains,
A bed is neither irritable nor rapacious.
.
Whatever disquiet we sense in a room
We have brought there.
.
And so I instruct my ribs each morning,
Pointing to hinge and plaster and wood -
.
“You are matter, as they are.
See how perfectly it can be done.
Hold, one day more, what is asked.”

“Please, be proud of the pieces that make you, you. Embrace the oddities and hold onto them with everything you have. These strange little quirks belong to us, and only us, and they are all absolutely vital in creating the bigger picture that is who we are. Be proud of yourself, because if you are, it never matters who else is. Because when you are, the inevitability of other people believing in you and being proud too, is such an amazing bonus to the strength you already possess.”

“We all have a bag. We all pack differently. Some of us are travelling light. Some of us are secret hoarders who’ve never parted with a memory in our lives. I think we are all called to figure out how to carry our bag to the best of our ability, how to unpack it, and how to face the mess. I think part of growing up is learning how to sit down on the floor with all your things and figuring out what to take with you and what to leave behind.”

“Walls will find us
In this life,
Walls and fences
And so many reasons
To give up, give in.
It is up to us,
Us and only us,
To climb them,
To cling to them
Like leaves and grow anyway.
Let the light shine through,
For there are always cracks.
Grow, grow defiant
Against the walls
That tower around you,
The fences that lock you in.”

“Beautiful is the woman
Who knows people,
Places and things
Don’t define her.
She is defined by
Her acts of loving kindness
And a generous heart.”

“Some of us don’t want
To be tough alpha leaders.
Some of us just want to write
And wander
The garden
And breathe in the sky
And nourish and nurture
And quietly create
New pathways
And live our
Lives as our art.
To know the earth
As poetry.”

“I don’t know
What it’s like
To not have
Deep emotions,
Even when I feel
Nothing,
I feel it
Completely.”
