goodbye 2018

Tomorrow, on new years day I'll sit for a while and ponder these questions (from Louise Hay) as 2019 blinks into wakefulness. As we turn our faces towards 2019 its a wonderful time to reflect upon what could come next and what is important. 

Blessings ♥️

What shall I now release from my life?

What or who no longer works for me?

What am I holding on to that holds me back?

What thoughts or beliefs belong to the old me?

How am I being unloving to myself?

Am I ready to let go?

What do I believe that really works for me?

What is going on in my life that is terrific and wonderful?

Where am I being very loving to myself?

Where am I most content?

What do I want to bring to my life?

What do I want to create?

How do I want the next year to be?

How do I want to look?

What image do I want to project?

How healthy do I want to be?

How prosperous do I want to feel?

How much love am I willing to experience?

What kind of world do I want to live in?

Where do I want my spirituality to go?

Affirm: I know that where I am is the totality of possibilities... not just a few possibilities, but the totality of all creation.

I am not limited by statistics, medical opinions, time, or authorities.

I am one with the infinite wisdom and capabilities of the Universe itself.

All good is available to me, right here and right now.

All I have to do is to use the power of my thoughts to create that which I desire. I know that. Now let me live it!

memorial of hedge and stone

One of the many joys of living in Derbyshire is the constant companionship of the dry stone walls and hedgerow boundaries that hug the landscape. Recently, during the centenary events to mark the end of WW1 I couldn't help but reflect upon the boys and men who never returned to this land, the boys and men who pieced the puzzle of dry stone walls together and skilfully laid the hedgerows. Their signature covers the land, an echo of their presence and physical labour and deep understanding of the natural world.

We remember you.
