Cherish your family

They may exasperate and infuriate us.

But they are one of our most precious possessions.

Don’t take them for granted.

We never know how long we will have with them, or they us.

They are our mirror and our anchor.

Treasure your time with them.

Change Direction

Look at nature nothing stays the same.

Even a small change can reap big benefits.

A  window of  opportunity in time   brings such beauty

Consider alternatives.

Look with fresh eyes.

Register patterns.

Feel where you are blocked or stale.

Try something new.

Start small things and experience the difference.

Then you ‘ll see the more important changes and you’ll make them naturally.

Quote

“True life is lived when tiny changes occur”       Leo Tolstoy

Enjoy the Day

Make the most of every day.

Use the hours up like a child.

There are no guarantees how many we get.

Older people will tell you they rarely regret the things they did,

Only the things they did not do.

Don’t spend your life intending to do something.

Start now!

‘And in the end, its not the years in your life that count, its the life in your years’

Abraham Lincoln ( 1809-1865)

Mothers Day a day dedicated to celebrating our mums!

Our significant others  ability to keep us safe meet our basic needs and to demonstrate love impact greatly upon our life experience.

What kind of mum do you have.

Do you think of your mum fondly or did she make your childhood hell?

Do you aspire to be everything your mum was, or wasn’t?

What would you  really like to say to your mum on this day?

Spring just round the  corner the tell tale signs, snowdrops  emerging through the hardened winter ground.

As you see the first bulbs of spring what does this mean to you?

For me : it means renewal, energy, hope , colour back into life after  a long winter of hibernation, creativity. Our feelings and emotions an energy source . channelling that energy into expression and transformation, promoted by creativity bringing a sense of freedom  within the self.  An  expression that is both healing and trans-formative.  Creativity bringing about growth and change Emerging – coming into view becoming known, rather like  the spring bulbs signalling  the beginning of something wonderful.

“Creativity can never be explained by appeal to reason alone. Like the birth of a child, creativity compels us not to explanation but to wonder and awe”

George Vaillant
