“Woke to a new spring
Growing louder and louder.
A morning full of light.
A sky full of birds.
A head full of dreams.
A heart full of hope.
Beyond the door,
The road beckons.
The sun will carry us”

And so Easter is almost upon us - the time of reawakening and transformation. With the arrival of spring the themes of rebirth and renewal are replicated in nature as trees burst into bud and new plants shoot up transforming the dormant earth into an animate and verdant landscape. As S.D. Gordon tells us “Easter spells out beauty, the beauty of new life.”
I shall be in Paris for the holidays and shall resume posting after my return.
I wish you all a beautiful and blessed Holy Week.
With much love

“Your kindness speaks louder than your car, your heart shines brighter than your house and your integrity matters more than your income. Your compassion outweighs your credentials, your authenticity is worth more than your address and your character surpasses any career title. The way you make others feel will be remembered long after they’ve forgotten what you wear or where you live. Your grace under pressure tells more about you than your possessions and your genuine spirit is worth more than any status symbol. Be rich in what truly counts - humanity, empathy and the courage to remain true to your values. These are the real measures of wealth that no bank can hold.”

“Every biggest decision of your life begins with uncertainty. Every extraordinary moment of courage comes after an internal struggle between wanting to turn back and knowing you must move forward. Every big leap comes right after a deep breath and the one question that only your heart can answer: “Can I really do this?” And in those moments, you will never feel ready. You will never receive all the guarantees you’re looking for. There will never be absolute certainty. And you’ll never be able to see all the obstacles on your path before you begin. You only ever have right now and a pull in your heart that can’t be ignored. There is only ever this unexplainable feeling within telling you, go this way. There is only your inner knowing guiding you forward, one small step at a time. There is only your courage, faith and enduring self-belief. But these onlys? They’re not onlys at all. They’re everything.”

“Be in the day you’re in. In the season you’re in. In the feeling you’re in. We try so hard to escape to the past, to the future, to try to plan it all out, to brace ourselves for uncertainty. We try to perfect the future in order to avoid the present. It’ll get better later. One day, I’ll be happy. One day, when I get it all right and perfect and check off the list, I’ll finally have space for my joy. But what about the day you’re in? The moment you have right now? Where have you gone? Don’t you want to be there, too? What if you’re missing the lesson, the signs, the magic of right here? Nothing in the future gives you permission to bask in joy. Nothing slows down until you slow it down. If you can’t be in today, what makes you think you’ll be fully present to tomorrow? Be in the day you’re in. What is happening for you here? Where are you being led? What is your heart saying? Don’t prolong it. Be in this day. Let that be enough. Your joy is here. Your life is here. The future is always coming but you never get this moment - this exact one - ever again. Don’t miss being alive to your days while you’re lucky enough to have them.”

“Spring.
You feel so close
Like you’re hovering.
Lingering,
Ready to burst already,
Teased by these
Brief pockets of sunshine and warmth
Sprinkled between the colder days.
I am so ready for your
Colour and movement again.
And you always come again.”

Spring Equinox 2025 Thursday 20th March

“Growth can be scary. It can be wonderful. It can be exciting. And it can be terrifying. You’re going somewhere you’ve never been before. You’re becoming a version of yourself that has never existed. This is why we resist change and growth so often. It’s stepping into the unknown. It’s trusting that there is something vital on the other side. It’s an act of faith to continue to grow and evolve. You are boldly going forward into chapters you haven’t read yet. You are writing your story as you go. There is no control. No predictability. No safety. No comfort zone. When you grow, you leap forward, trusting the next step will appear. So yes, if growth and change makes you afraid, that means you’re doing it right. You are in the darkness between where you’ve been and where you’re going. Trust it. Stumble forward. You’re courageously becoming someone you haven’t been yet.”

“May we live each day in such a way that fear itself is afraid to haunt us. May we run wildly but always towards those slivers and cracks of light that illuminate the darkness. May we cheer each other on because god only knows how much we all need it. May we never sink so low that we do not recognize our own spirit. May we choose wisdom and tenderness over careless words. Heartfelt emotion over empty gestures. Quiet giving over loud acts of charity. May we rather forgive too often than not enough. May we always strive to see beauty. Even if we must squint our eyes and tilt our heads to find it.”

“You are exactly where you are meant to be right now on this journey you are taking. You may not understand the reason for this place and you may not see the way forward just yet, but this place you are in right now holds so much for you. It is teaching you. It is strengthening you. It is helping you become more you. Know that your journey will not look like anyone else’s (and it’s not supposed to); yours is a wildly different journey up an entirely different mountain. Yours has its own tough climbs, its own breathtaking views, its own path, its own victories and its own struggles. If you were meant to be higher by now, you would be. You are learning, growing, and shaping yourself here, so take in all of the views from exactly where you are now. Remember that your path is unfolding in its own perfect timing, and that every new path ahead will appear when you are ready for it. My beautiful friend, enjoy your beautifully unique climb everywhere it takes you.”

“To be a gentle mover in a swiftly spinning world. To be present. To extract the poetry. To only entertain the real. To listen. To seek the genuine. To stand inside of the stretch, the momentum, the tall discomfort of change, the knowing that you don’t need to rush the practice, or ever fake or force a thing. To believe in rhythm and movement.
.
To trust in the river, the song, the stillness, the storm, and the seed.
.
This is my religion.”

Until you understand that life was not meant to be easy. Or perpetually beautiful. Or without pain or risk or loss. You will not know what miraculous things you are made of. You will not know to what extent your strength can push you through and what it feels like to build a bonfire inside your very own lungs that roars and billows and fights to the bitter end. You will not recognize the sound that tragedy makes when it begins to sing hallelujah into the vocal cords you believed to this day, were fast asleep. And you will never understand how capable you are to sit in silence and listen to the voice that says, “carry on, child, your work is not yet done here.”

“Here’s how it goes: You will figure it all out only to get lost again. You will heal and learn and then you will heal and relearn. You will change and think you will be that way forever and then you will reinvent. You will never be ‘done’ and that is the whole point. You will grow and then you will savour. You will be sad and then you will be blissful, sometimes in the same 24 hours. You will cry. You will compare and then you will recommit to your truth. You will get caught up in societal expectations and then you will find your connection to self again. You will be in constant evolvement, some of it conscious, most of it happening in the background. You will meet new versions of yourself all the time if you’re lucky, if you’re present enough to invite them in. You will think you have all the answers and then you will be humbled by all you do not know yet. You will follow a path only to realize you need an entirely new North Star. And all of this will be okay and serve to remind you that you’re wonderfully alive to your life.”

“Some days are hard. And when they are, I allow myself to feel whatever it is that my body asks me to feel and I respect the time it needs to fumble and flounder and fall a little. Some days I am swallowed whole by things too big for me to hold. And so I set them down. I rest, knowing that even when I cannot slay the beast, I can lay aside my sword for a moment and work on protecting my spirit instead. Some days my heart beats like thunder inside of my chest. It is heavy. And loud. And relentless. It does not listen to the part of me that wants to silence the storm. And so I take my eyes off of the noise and fix them on quieter places. On music. And art. And heaven, and trees. And I show myself grace in the dark. Even if I am shaking my way through it. Because some days I still haven’t caught my breath from yesterday yet.”
