The Happy List #15

March 11, 2024
In making space for healing, I’m making space for all the good and happy things in life. Letting go of what isn’t essential, and choosing to focus on what makes me feel good.

A month into the new year, and with the celebrations of Imbolc, I can feel myself coming alive again. The lengthening days and the early signs of spring are wakening me from my winter hibernation. I can feel the stirrings of hope building at a new year ahead, all the adventures and fun I can...

Celebrating Imbolc

February 1, 2024
Imbolc is always one of my favourite Sabbats. After a long winter, Imbolc – the mid-way point between the winter solstice and the spring equinox, is always a welcome sign. This is a time when winter is starting to wind down, but it is still cold and sometimes snowy; spring is hiding around the corner,...
