This is TODAY

TOMORROW, my plan is to meet 30 women in the Downings for a Wild Atlantic Reset Experience

beach walk
dip in the sea
fire

Two things to consider

1. It may be sunny tomorrow

2. Do I have a plan B?
Yup, and X,Y and Z

'cause this is the reality of working outdoors,
with the elements,
in the northwest of ireland

in summer

I'll tell ye how we get on

TOMORROW

We're back! πŸŒΏπŸ’šπŸŒŠπŸ’™

After four consecutive and very successful years,
we took a year out in 2025
'cause I was away galavanting

but due to popular demand
(ye's are wile demanding hi! πŸ˜†)

This nurturing day of
connection,
relaxation,
fun
and lunch
is back this summer! β˜€οΈ

I've personally written to Jellyfish headquarters and they've agreed to take the day off on

Saturday 20th June
10.30am-4.30pm
Dunree

So put it in your diary too,
and commit to a day to yourself

So many fond memories,
let's make some more! ❀️

I'll try to put the link to the form in the comments, wish me luck. πŸ€žπŸ‘‡πŸ™ƒ

If I had time I'd make a gorgeous collage-reel thingy of previous Nature in Mind Days

But if you're following this page at all, ye know what it's all about.

Canni wait!



A joy as always, with

What's the difference between a burl and a twirl?
'cause this looks like a burl to me! 🀣

❀️ Whole hearted
Joyous
Childish
Unsophisticated
Inelegant

Original audio 'cause
"weeeee"
"Laughter"
"clap"
should be a viral trend!

A kind of middle aged
'I-gotta-campervan-at-last-Bella Burl!'

In the last month I've been asked
'Did ye get away in the camper yet Michaela?'

Erm, I've slept and woken up at

Culdaff Beach, Inishowen
Derry City
Portsalon Beach, West Donegal
Tullagh Bay, Inishowen
Mourne Mountains, Co Down
Lough Rea, Co Westmeath
Lake Arrow, Co Sligo

Aye, I'm doing wella in Bella.

And the burling is only just beginning

WEEEE!

Did ye know I do a bit of speaking too?

And love it!

Today, I delivered a workshop at the PCHE (Psycological Counselllors in Higher Education Ireland) Conference in Athlone.

7 minutes at the podium
43 minutes outside
chatting
on the grass,
amongst trees,
with the birds

'cause, ye know...
ECOTHERAPY πŸŒΏπŸ’š

more than a theory,
my approach has always been to

Live it
Embody it
Share it

Great people,
doing important work.
Thanks for having me!

Serene swan
gliding
in golden light.

This was my view
as I ate my dinner,

barefoot and quiet
on grass,
beside a running stream

as the sun set
in the heart of Ireland

Oh, the things you witness
when you're not in a hotel restaurant or bar

I need to take the air outta Bella's tryes to ground myself. πŸ™ˆπŸ˜†

A weekend of pottering about my own wee nest, catching up on boring essentials like washing and housework actually felt good

Living in Inishowen means staying local is swimming in Culdaff one day and Leenan the next. 🌊🩡

Also, being logged off. ❀️
4 hours screentime in 3 days feels sooo good. Try it if ye can.

Bella n me are both well rested n ready to set sail again this week. Guess where?
Clue; near water, but not the sea.
So, that narrows it down then.

So many reasons to attend this event tomorrow, especially if you're an Inishowenian

πŸ“– a novel set in Derry and Inishowen
πŸ’š Dunree is a gorgeous location, worth visiting for any reason, perfect for a wee walk first
πŸ“΅ Books for teenagers / young adults are a healthy antidote to excessive phone use, so worth supporting
πŸ“š Book launches are interesting and inspiring, and a great way to connect with the writing community
❀️ Award winning author Sue Divin is a brilliant, hardworking writer and sound human being who has done a wile lot to support fledgling writers, like me
🍬I have it on good authority that there will be sweets, not just sweets but freddo frogs, werthers, beef monster munch and Jammie Dodgers. Aaand
the cafes open
😊 Aaaand. .... it's free!

See ye there!
