🎃 Happy Halloween from Milo and me! 🧙‍♀️🐴👻

This Halloween, I’m scaring away…

👻 Negative thoughts
👻 Unnecessary stress
👻 People pleasing

What are you choosing to scare away this Halloween?

Oh, what a sweet memory ❤️ A year ago today, Milo running across the field to greet me first thing in the morning. 🥰🤗🐴

So much around us can change in a year.

Fields get rotated. The grass may struggle to grow during dry months. The seasons may feel colder or milder.

It’s a fact that the things around us can never be guaranteed to stay the same.

But one thing can remain:

The bond you share with those you love. ❤️

And the bond I share with Milo isn’t created by the field, the weather, the season or anything else around us!

It is created by the heart.

And it will never depend on what surrounds us!

The world around us will change, but what is created heart to heart will remain forever. 💚

I can’t control everything around me, but I can nurture the bonds that give me love, safety and a sense of belonging. 😊

And perhaps you can agree with me that those are the things worth holding onto most when life changes. 🙏

A little life lesson from Milo 🐴 during his dental visit…

We all wish the difficult moments would just disappear.
But sometimes, the only way through is to keep moving… to take those little steps forward.

Just keep going. The easier moments will come. 💚🙏

I sat in silence by the orchard today, watching the branches of the apple trees dance in the wind on this very windy Saturday afternoon… 🍎

The ground is now covered in a beautiful red carpet… my kind of red carpet. No glamour, no fuss… just nature putting on her beautiful show. 😍

I gathered the apples to take to my friends 🐴🐴🐴🐴❤️ (just a few! 😂) I love foraging these little gifts from the Earth, knowing they’ll bring joy to another soul. 😊

I’ve spent a good hour here now, and I feel completely re-energised. I really needed to stop, even with a hundred things waiting to be done. 🙈

Now I’m ready to tackle the laundry and the rest of the housework! 💪

Finding time for ourselves doesn’t have to mean having a whole day free. Sometimes, an hour is all it takes to pause, breathe, and feel like ourselves again. 🌿💚 It surely worked for me. 🙏

Something incredibly powerful happens when women come together. 😊

Today, we gathered beneath a beautiful willow tree beside the calm waters of the river, sitting in circle and held in the beautiful energy of sisterhood. 🤗

We laughed. We cried. We laughed some more.
We shared, listened, opened our hearts and held space for one another.

Each of us seen. Valued. Heard. Held. 🙏

I left with my heart feeling so much lighter. 💚

We all need spaces where we can slow down, connect, be heard and simply be ourselves. There is so much wellbeing in feeling connected, supported and held by community. 🙏

There is something truly powerful about women holding women. 😊

September 11 is one of those dates that stays with you.

I was in New York that day. I was fortunate not to be directly caught up in the attacks, but I was there, watching it all unfold around me.

I still remember being in my office, watching the news on television as the second plane hit the tower. And I will never forget the scream of my colleague when she realised her husband was inside.

That sound has stayed with me all these years.

Some experiences leave a mark on us, even when we are not the ones directly in the centre of them. They remind us how suddenly life can change, how much we need each other, and how important it is to be gentle with the people around us …because we never truly know what someone may be carrying 😔.

Today, I remember all those who lost their lives, the families and loved ones left behind, and everyone who continues to carry the memories and pain of that day.

With love, compassion and remembrance. 💚

There is something so special about floating…

I love that feeling of letting go of my weight and being held by the water. For a moment, I don’t have to hold myself up. I can just soften, breathe, and allow myself to be supported.

No effort. No rushing. No need to control.

Just floating, breathing and being. 😊

And every time I experience it, I’m reminded of something we could all use a little more of:

We don’t always have to carry everything ourselves.

Sometimes it’s okay to pause…
to let go…
to trust…
and allow ourselves to be held. 🙏💚

I would never watch the Palio di Siena, a centuries-old horse race held in Siena, Italy, and knowing that it went ahead yesterday breaks my heart. 😔

For anyone who doesn't know, the Palio is a ba****ck horse race held in Siena's Piazza del Campo, right in the heart of the city. Ten horses and riders race three very fast laps around a small, crowded track laid out in the middle of the city square, with tight corners and very little room for error. The horses are racing at full speed in these difficult conditions, making falls and collisions a very real risk.

And once again, yesterday, the so-called “winners” were on the ground in a nasty fall immediately after the race. So I heard, because I refuse to watch it!

Honestly, how can this still be celebrated as entertainment? The riders are choosing to risk their lives, but the horses have no say in it. They are the ones being put at risk, in the hands of humans who have made that choice for them. It makes me so angry.

I work with horses through equine assisted wellbeing, with a deep ethical respect, love and compassion for them. They have taught me so much about kindness, trust and forgiveness. They are such giving beings.

I have seen horses who have suffered trauma come forward spontaneously to support clients of mine who have also experienced hurt and abuse. They are so forgiving and offer connection, safety, empathy and kindness without asking for anything in return.

Horses have always given us so much trust, love and healing… the very least we can give them is the same in return.

How can we not feel responsible for protecting such beautiful beings?

I know the Palio is an ancient and deeply loved tradition. But something being a tradition does not automatically make it right.

Traditions can change.

Our understanding of animals can change.

Our compassion can grow. And should have grown by now!

I truly hope that one day we will choose the welfare of the horses over the continuation of a spectacle resembling a barbaric medieval display.

For me, it’s kindness before tradition. Always. 💚🐴💚

Two years ago today, we had to say goodbye to Norbie. 💔

But today, I don’t want to remember the day he left. I want to remember the day he came into our lives. The beginning of a beautiful journey. The moment Milo met him. The moment I welcomed home a soul I believe had always belonged in my life.

A Reunion

You didn’t arrive that day,
you came home.

When Milo first met you,
he seemed to know what I already felt…
that you were meant to be here.

There was no hesitation,
no uncertainty
just kindness meeting kindness,
grace meeting grace.

Within moments,
the two of you were trotting away together,
as though you had always known
where the other belonged.

For me,
it was different.

I didn’t simply welcome you home.

It felt as though
I was welcoming you back.

Because I believe
there are souls
that belong to one another
long before time,
long before names,
long before this life.

You were one of them.

You had lived in my heart
since it first began to beat.
I simply hadn’t found you yet.

To love you,
to care for you,
to walk beside you in this lifetime
was one of life’s greatest gifts.

Two years ago today,
our paths seemed to part.

Only our bodies did.

Your soul never left.

I still find you
in the quiet,
in the wind,
in the light that falls across the field,
in every place where love still lingers.

Some days,
the memory of losing you
still takes my breath away.

I remember the desperate drive,
the hope that refused to let go,
and the ache of wondering
if you were afraid,
if you suffered.

That thought
will always break my heart.

But I refuse
to let your final moments
be the story of your life.

Because you were gentleness.

You were wisdom.

You were kindness
wrapped in a beautiful chestnut coat.

You were home.

I miss you
with a love
too deep for words.

And yet,
I know this isn’t goodbye.

It never was.

It is simply the space
between one reunion
and the next.

Until I find you again,
carry on running free.

You’ll always be part of my soul,
just as I know
I’ll always be part of yours. 💚

A Sunday morning well spent. 😊

Feeling grateful for today’s Sister Circle, ‘cause connection, reflection, and community are all part of our wellbeing.

Keep pouring into yourself. You deserve the same love and care you so freely give to others. 🙏💚
