Felt very Samhain today

thin
still
atmospheric
almost eerie

enveloped in
a quietly creeping
unknown breath
🩶🤍

This incredible,
awe inspiring,
nerve settling,
head clearing ,
heart soothing
planet
speaks to us every day

If we just

Ssssh

and listen.

Aaaah menopause

When a smart woman's brain temporarily, fleetingly....
short circuits,
does not compute.
Becomes mush!

Today's installment made me chuckle out loud to myself in a Derry carpark

I got allota more examples of this, but would love to know

what's the stupidest thing you've ever done?

And can you laugh at yourself?

Note: I was restored to intelligent, capable woman three seconds after this

🤦‍♀️🙈🙄🙄🤯😆😂
- even though 'doh' isn't a hashtag! 😆

Emotional Alchemy
that's what it is

and it's intoxicating!

Storytelling is the powerful privilege of evoking and changing feelings in willing strangers,

amusement
sadness
reflection
anticipation
curiosity

all in thirty minutes
with five stories

some tales are age old, passed through generations, learned with respect
some are brand new, fresh from my imagination

Each one is an invitation to
sit back
switch off
suspend belief
and simply enjoy
simplicity

More of this in the world please!
❤️
Massive thanks to Anne Marie O'Hara for a brilliant set, and of course the wonderful Liz Weir - Irish Storyteller for creating opportunities to tell, tell, tell! And Libraries in Derry City and Strabane for somewhere to play.

I'll sleep without rocking tonight, and that could the start of another story.

Another day
another swanky 5* restaurant with a view

Aye, they're my togs drying on the fence

There's nothing like a splash in the Atlantic for starters!

🍂 Autumn in the woods 🍂

Magic that feels good
AND
is scientifically proven

Not either / or

Science and academia
are just catching up with what heart and soul
have always known

Nature heals

💚🌿🌳💚🌲💚

EDIT in case ye read the subtitles ...

Phytoncides, trees release PHYTONCIDES
Not "flight on fight sites" as the silly captions say
🙄😅

Phytoncides are volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and antimicrobial essential oils released by trees and plants to protect themselves against bacteria, fungi, and insects.

They affect humans by

• Boosting Immune Function: Inhaling these compounds during forest immersion (known as Shinrin-yoku or forest bathing) increases the count and activity of natural killer (NK) cells, which help the body target virus- and tumor-infected cells.

• Reduce Stress: Breathing in forest air lowers cortisol and adrenaline levels while stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system.

• Improve mood and sleep: Terpenes like alpha-pinene and limonene cross the blood-brain barrier to promote mental relaxation and better sleep quality.

Last night I thought
Bella was either going to take flight
or get washed into the Swilly

She did neither,
she kept me safe

And I woke up to
soft autumn light,
birdsong,
lapping waves,

and a very strong coffee!

Water falls

and keeps flowing

so can you

04/10/2026

Notice anything?

I'm dry!

Another ear infection is keeping me out of the tide ☹️

That's enough to make me grumpy, but .....
I can still put on a coat n hat and
be BY the tide

seeing
smelling
and hearing
the sea
makes me feel a wee bit better

It could be worse
I could be indoors
in a shop
in a crowd
and in a rush
🤯

Wishing you a day that's somewhere between
bearable and brilliant

'cause when you've known unbearable days
bearable ones can seem brilliant

It's all relative!

Happy Reset Sunday!
