We’ve broken life

Many people go through periods of suffering, pain and grief where life feels very broken. Death, illness, divorce, redundancy or job loss, adjusting to empty nesting, relationship breakdown and other losses, challenges, disappointments and difficult times that life...

Just do today

Today is Day 25. 25 days since schools were closed in Ireland. To quote my daughter today 'this shit's getting old'. One thing I'm *not* going to remind her of right now is the stark fact that we are not there yet. At this time we do not know if the schools will...

As the world and my life began to grind to a halt

Across the world we are at varying stages of slowing down, lock-down and life pressing the pause button on us, due to the COVID-19 outbreak now in every country. It seems to be the most effective way: space between us, to stop the spread of this virus. It always takes...

Creating Magical Momentum

Is it already that time of the year when the New Year’s resolutions and promises are wearing thin or perhaps have disappeared completely? Don’t give up just yet or file them under ‘next year’ because it takes weeks if not months to create a new habit. And even when we...

Are we there yet ?

It's a phrase we don't just use as a kid in the back seat of our parents car! In today's world, we talk a LOT about what its going to be like, how good it's going to be - when we get "THERE" But what if here, right now today is it? What if there is no there? And how...

Letting go of the stories

Our lives are full of stories. Good, bad or indifferent, we tell ourselves stories all day long. They are what we believe to be true. When we grow spiritually, we change our beliefs and let go of some stories that no longer serve us. But often we tolerate, staying...
