“Joy is a decision,
A really brave one,
About how you’re 
Going to respond to life.”

Next Monday will be the third and final bank holiday in May. I shall therefore return here Monday 5th June. Wishing you all a lovely long weekend. It looks like it is going to be warm and sunny. 
Much love Sarah 👒☀️xxx

“You don't need to be busy. You don't need to justify your existence in terms of productivity. Rest is an essential part of survival. An essential part of us. An essential part of being the animals we are. When a dog lies in the sun I imagine it does it without guilt, because as far as I can tell dogs seem more in tune with their own needs. As I grow older, I think that resting might actually be the main point of life. To sit down passively, inside or outside, and merely absorb things - the tick of a clock, a cloud passing by, the distant hum of traffic, a bird singing - can feel like an end in itself. It can actually feel and be more meaningful than a lot of the stuff we are conditioned to see as productive. Just as we need pauses between notes for music to sound good, and just as we need punctuation in a sentence for it to be coherent, we should see rest and reflection and passivity - and even sitting on the sofa - as an intrinsic and essential part of life that is needed for the whole to make sense.”

I certainly enjoyed ‘sitting on the sofa’ this past bank holiday weekend as I sat and watched the live broadcast of the coronation from the arrival of the first guests at Westminster Abbey to the final Royal wave on the balcony. I was utterly entranced from beginning to end and so deeply moved by the sacredness of the ceremony. How blessed we were to have witnessed something of such profound spiritual significance.

“If you thank your mind, 
It will relax.
If you thank your heart, 
It will open.
If you thank your past, 
It will integrate.
If you thank your symptoms, 
They will heal.
If you thank your shadow, 
It will vanish.
If you thank your life, 
It will transform.
If you thank yourself, 
The light will dawn.”

We have two consecutive May bank holiday weekends here in the UK - the early spring bank holiday on Monday the 1st and then a second on Monday the 8th to mark the coronation of King Charles III taking place on Saturday the 6th. 
Monday posts will therefore return on May 15th.
I am very much looking forward to witnessing history and revelling in the beauty and precision which we have become so well known for. 
Much love Sarah xx💂🏻‍♀️🇬🇧👑

"Every morning you rise, 
I want you 
To remember this:
There are 
Amazing things 
To be a part of, 
And fight for, 
And feel, 
Because the world 
Will unlock hundreds 
Of doors when you 
Give this day
All the courage, love, 
And intensity 
You can.”

“It's the small habits.
How you spend your mornings.
How you talk to yourself.
What you read. What you watch.
Who you share your energy with.
Who has access to you.
That will change your life.”

I wish you all a very Happy Easter and many blessings for Holy Week.

"There is a very simple secret to being happy. Just let go of your demand on this moment.
.
Any time you have a demand on the moment to give you something or remove something, there is suffering. Your demands keep you chained to the dream state of conditioned mind. The problem is that when there is a demand, you completely miss what is now.
.
Letting go applies to the highest sacred demand, and even to the demand for love. If you demand in some subtle way to be loved, even if you get love, it is never enough. In the next moment, the demand reasserts itself, and you need to be loved again. But as soon as you let go, there is knowing in that instant that there is love here already. 
.
The mind is afraid to let go of its demand because the mind thinks that if it lets go, it is not going to get what it wants - as if demanding works.
.
This is not the way things work. Stop chasing peace and stop chasing love, and your heart becomes full. Stop trying to be a better person, and you are a better person. Stop trying to forgive, and forgiveness happens. Stop and be still."

“May today be the day
You run through the wilderness 
Of every worry and collapse 
Into the clearing of grace.
Grace to carry on.
Grace to trust in the unknown,
As you bravely tell the stories 
Of where you have been, 
And you boldly pursue 
The journey of where you will go.
May you learn to embrace the freedom 
That has long been calling your name 
As you liberate courage in others 
So they can do the same.”

“For too many centuries women have been being muses to artists. I wanted to be the muse, I wanted to be the wife of the artist, but I was really trying to avoid the final issue - that I had to do the job myself.”

“If you’re in a pivot period - if you’re still bridging the space between where you are and where you want to be – please remember that the person you’re becoming is already within you. The journey is convincing your mind to act consistently on what your heart already knows it wants to do.”
