Today I have created a whole new circle of 8 Pocket Goddess Dolls, in the beautiful, earthy colours of Autumn, and as I sat with them all together, I found myself thinking about the turning of the Wheel of the Seasons, and how important it is for us to stay connected to these natural rhythms.

We are so often caught up in the busyness of life, always doing, always giving, always moving on to the next thing, that sometimes we forget we are part of nature too.

Autumn gently reminds us that everything has its season. The trees begin to let go of their leaves, the days grow shorter, and we too are invited to slow down, turn inward, and perhaps release the things we no longer need to carry.

We are not meant to be blooming all year round.

There are times for growing and blossoming, and times when we need to draw our energy inward, nourish ourselves, and listen to what is happening within.

This is some of the energy I have been holding as I created these little goddesses, imagining them finding their way into someone's hands, sitting on an altar, beside a candle, or tucked into a pocket as a gentle reminder to pause and reconnect with yourself.

And as I placed all eight together, I felt the beauty of them forming a circle.

There is something so special about gathering in circle, creating a space where we can share what is on our hearts, listen to one another, and remember that we don't have to navigate every season of our lives alone.

There is something deeply nourishing about being witnessed and heard, without needing to fix anything or have all the answers.

Perhaps this is one of Autumn's greatest invitations. To gather, to reflect, to let go, and to nurture what we need as we move into the quieter months.

These eight little goddesses have come together as their own circle, each created with love, care and intention, carrying a little reminder of the magic that can be found when we reconnect with nature, with one another, and with ourselves.

I always feel that the right creation will speak to you in its own way, finding the person who needs it at just the right time.

So here they are, my new little circle of eight Autumn Pocket Goddesses, created with so much love.

I'm offering them here to my followers first before they go live on my website

Have you ever stopped long enough to ask yourself truely and deeply ~ is this the life I dream of or am I just unconsciously following a path ?

Have you ever dared to ask what else is possible ?

I did !

This was 5 years ago when I said "No More"
to everything I knew and had believed as being the only path for me. After 33 years in a relationship.

I started to put myself first , rebuild my life . I went to Egypt (First ever major flight and trip out of the country ) to train for the first time as an Awakened Bellydance Sisters of Alchemy facilitator

What a journey of self discovery and adventure.
Stepping through so many fears and finding parts of me I never knew existied.

Climbing a mountain by moonlight was amazing but the bigger challenge was when I thought of going back down in daylight, but that fear of heights soon dissipated as we all walked together, totally present with every step and in ore of the breath taking views
Here we all are taking a moment to enjoy the stars on a mountain platue,
It is still one of the most amazing and life changing experience's ever !

Never under estimate yourself or the adventures you are capable of going on.

I'm a great believer in doing the things that light us up and following the opportunities that arrive when we commit to ourselves.

Today was one of those days.
This morning at The Fishermen's Chapel in Leigh on sea, I gave a talk about how art and creativity can have a positive effect on our mental health and wellbeing.
Even though Ive often given these talks about my own experimces, this time I was able to interject with some of the new information I learnt on the first session of my HICAT practisioner training with Devine-Creative Education

This was followed by a fun intuitive group session to get us over the fear of freely being creative,
Dropping into the process rather than trying to perfect the perfect piece.
Calming our nervous system, our heart rate and our our thoughts.
There was lots of smiling, giggling and fun creating.

What a way to spend a couple of hours on a monday morning.

Creating Space is open at the chapel
Every Monday (except bank holidays)
10 till 11.30 am

On Friday you may remember I was starting my HICAT HYBRID practisioners course.
Holistic Intergrated Creative Arts Therapy Training.
With Katie Tucker at Devine-Creative Education

Well ... Firstly a huge thankyou to Katie for so warmly welcoming us into her home and creative cabin !
Katie and her cabin both have the most beautiful genuine, calm and loving energy.
Starting the session in circle , with gentle intros and meditation was a wonderful way to relax into the day.

Moving through to discussing the science and theory of the first module, with both printed and digital formats to fill in as we went along, was really helpful for me as I sometimes struggle to be on my computer for long periods.

A windy walk in the park after a light lunch really lifted our energy again.
In the afternoon we were seated around the table, we watched a very interesting ted talk and discussed the theory some more.
Then we got to explore some of the creative arts therapy activities. I'd already done these once or twice at home before hand. The first ones I realeased a whole lot of anger I hadnt realised I was holding against myself !
So I was honestly surprised that when I came to do it again on Friday how much I was aware of myself, my thoughts, the mental control patterns I was going through. I was able to pause , witness and continue in a different way.

Viewing how the other students had completed the same activity and how they expressed their experince was also extremely interesting .
My first insight into how it may look in a professional setting.

The day felt well paced and relaxed.
With plenty of time to connect outside the "class room setting"
My questions were all heard and answered putting my mind at rest. With a group chat so we can support each other between sessions, Im really excited at the possibilities this course will bring !

TO THE WOMAN WHO IS SLOWLY FADING AWAY

To the woman who has lost her spark.
To the woman whose get up and go, has well and truly gone.
This is for you.
This is to remind you whose daughter you are.
This is to remind you, that you don’t have to be everything to everyone, every day.
You didn’t sign up for that.
Remember when you used to laugh? Sing?
Throw caution to the wind?
Remember when you used to forgive yourself more quickly for not always being perfect.
You can get that back again.
You really can.
And that doesn’t have to mean letting people down or walking away.
It just means being kinder to you, feeling brave enough to say no sometimes.
Being brave enough to stop sometimes.
And rest.
It starts the moment you realise that you’re not quite who you used to be.
Some of that is good, some of that is not.
There are parts of you that need to be brought back.
And if anyone in your life is not okay with that… they are not your people. Your people will be glad to see that spark starting to light up again.
So, if you have been slowly fading away my friend, this is the time to start saying yes to things that bring you joy and no to things that don’t.
It’s really pretty simple.

I listened to my soul calling last night

Every part of me stopped and took notice

After resisting for days

I finally put pencil to paper

And this beautiful multidimensional being
came flooding through

Reminding me

It's good for me to be perfectly imperpect

It's good to be seen

It's good to stop once in a while

Its good to really listen to what the heart and soul truely wants

It's glorious to create magic with a pencil !
