A return to our previous format with another lesson learned (or rather underway) from Kirstie... I have just completed our first Introduction to Mindfulness course with Saffron. What a gift it has been especially through what has been experienced as stormy times. During the course Saffron shared with us the fundamental principles of Mindfulness before… Continue reading Forgetful

After an incredible and lively party on Halloween, enjoyed by both people and energetic beings alike, we have focused on the themes of regeneration and renewal. Samhain, the pagan ritual from which we take most of our Halloween hullabaloo, denoted Summer's End and a time to honour the ancestors, reflect upon life and death and… Continue reading Wave Goodbye, Say Hello
So this is it. Day 365. Final post of Crystallising Dream. I thought I would have something profound to write, one of my more deep and meaningful posts but it appears I've gone word-shy again...How do I put how I feel into words? How do I sum up the last year? How do I possibly… Continue reading It’s here.
FIVE... days to go! I have an entry in my Calendar on 1st November which i forgot I added. It says "Shop Day". For a while I thought it was something i had planned for the RSL Collective Shop - sorting, stocktaking etc but no this was the first indicator of my intention which I… Continue reading Two words

Well...ish. Rather than the old days where I've either been tired from HR work or… Continue reading Something old…
This time next week I'll be posting the 365th post in my blog before picking up a hopefully large glass of wine in celebration. One week to go! I may have started the celebration early as after yesterday's intense day I indulged in a bit of self-care. Self-care times two. Firstly after welcoming our Soul… Continue reading Self-careful
Do what you love and you'll never have to work a day in your life. This was one of my life mantras. My time in HR spent trying to find the ultimate "happy" fulfilling workplace. Occasionally I'd get there for a bit and love it then I would become dis-illusioned and the work would again… Continue reading Light work
That work work work was in full swing today: Pricing, sorting, sharing, enthusing, connecting, exchanging and practising. Not just me either, this was the buzz in the shop as people came and fully engaged with what there was to offer. At one point I looked over and smiled to see 3 ladies sitting on various… Continue reading Occupied
It's been a juggling day today. This is good. Reminds me of the Two of Pentacles in Tarot. In the Rider Waite deck he is a happy soul juggling two golden coins. Positively expressed it could be about multi-tasking, bringing things together and starting to create something new. For me its been about starting the… Continue reading Planning with Pentacles
