Camellias from my garden and Welsh daffodil candle from my friend, which smells divine. It’s about finding the beauty in the little things right? 🌺 🕯️

I adore springtime flowers! Pic of a lovely bunch gifted by a friend and so happy to see the daff and iris bulbs I planted a while ago are coming out! Having got to middle age without having planted a bulb, I wasn’t sure if they would! 🌼

I wish I could cut you out, keep you for myself,
Mend each of your frayed, uneven seams-
Stitch you onto calico, frame you on my shelf,
Embroider all those wayward dreams.

Penned after a chat with my lovely friend Mel, of Sole n Soul Reflexology, (’coz sometimes we need a reminder!)💫

S U C C E S S

Yes, it may be a million pounds, or a PhD,
Awarded by the world’s top university.
Perhaps it’s fame and a glittering career,
Savings and shares, that accrue year on year.
It can be a respected job of responsibility,
Using talents to the best of your ability.
Every accomplishment, fairly-earnt,
Achieved through grit, lessons learnt,
Surely deserves a ‘well done’ in recognition,
Each of us, on our own path and mission.
But success can also slip by in disguise,
Unacknowledged by society’s eyes-
A conversation with a stranger, whom no one sees,
Unknowingly lifting them from their knees.
Or a heartfelt apology, heard with grace,
Transmuting this world, into a brighter place.
Tending a garden, of beauty and admiration,
That provides food, peace, or inspiration.
Reaching out, when you’ve little left to give,
Dancing in the dark, seizing your joy to live.
The lands you’ve seen, the friendships made,
The times you’ve laughed, the plans you’ve laid.
The children you’ve taught, that kindness is essential,
Loved unconditionally, to reach their potential.
Reminding them to dream, to always believe,
That what lights them up, is their key to achieve.
It’s keeping the faith, or working for a cure,
Moving forward, through everything you endure.
Painting a picture, that radiates from your soul,
Standing your ground, or reaching a goal.
Connecting to nature, ensuring animals are fed,
Silencing the negatives, camped out in your head.
It’s finding the partner, who is just right for you,
Taking a chance, despite all you’ve been through.
Maybe it’s helping a bee, find her strength again,
Uprighting the garden snails, after the rain.
Such magnificent acts, may not win accolades,
Go viral on the socials, reap endless praise-
Nevertheless, success isn’t just one objective,
It’s really a case, of gentle perspective.
So, any time you start to feel you’re lacking,
Are about to send your self-worth packing,
Consider for a moment, all the unsung deeds,
The ripples you’ve started, the planted seeds.
Because energetically, you’re a cosmic super-star,
And our infinite universe, knows just who you are.

Hope everyone enjoyed the festivities and all the best for 2024! I like to have a little mantra each new year and this year, it is ’letting go’ following on from a few conversations recently…one with a lovely, random lady I met during a hospital appointment this week, which reminded me to let go of what I thought my life ‘would’ or ‘should’ be like right now (and it’s quite cathartic). What are you looking forward to letting go of…or maybe you have your own mantra for 2024? 💜
