A Prayer For The New Year

This year

May my life be a reflection of service

An offering

A contribution to the world

Rooted in compassion and care

May my actions contribute to healing

And kindness

The threads of connection

That weave us all together……

Utterly Impossible

Some days life feels utterly impossible

The kettle takes too long to boil

My body is stiff

My inner weather is rough

Emails blink like demands

My phone buzzing with expectations

My never-ending to-do list untouched…..

Anointed By The Algorithm

We never meant to worship it

But somehow

The feed became a kind of altar

Anointed by engagement

Ordained by likes

Validated by followers…..

The Self Improvement Treadmill

I ran for years

Through my twenties,

Thirties

Half of my forties

Chasing more

The next breakthrough

The next upgrade

The next better version of me……

My Kind Of People

I will not be tethered to gossip, small-talk or facades,

Let me speak instead of my messiness -

My humanness

The realness I carry like weathered skin

Let me be vulnerable

And silly

Let me be raw, true, and imperfect

So I may find deeper connection…..

Losing Authenticity

I scroll,

And it all blurs -

The same fonts,

The same phrases,

The same topics,

The same greetings:

“Hi Lovely”

“Step into your power”

“Manifest your dream life”

Yet it all feels so empty

Words once alive

Have been wrung dry……

Glitter Bomb

Once there was a cage -

Made of shoulds,

Of too much,

Of too loud.

Then one day -

CRACK.

Light everywhere.

Fucking electric…….

Growing Pains

Difficulty arrives uninvited

A shadow across the path of our life

But even in crisis

There is potential for healing

Tragedy too,

Can become a profound teacher….

Consuming or Creating

Which will you choose?

Depletion or regeneration

The endless hunger of more or the wellspring within?

How will you contribute?

By taking from the world or giving something new?

By feeding the void or nurturing the seed…..

What An Interesting Old Lady

May I know, at the end of my days,

That each of my choices have mattered -

That I have done work that has mattered -

That the experiences of my life

Have been mixed together into one big earthen bowl

Rich with kindness

And served with a generous heart…….

Our Precious Attention

Where do you place your precious attention?

Is it scattered like leaves in the wind -

Distracted, tugged in a thousand different directions?

Is it surface-level,

Skimming the edges of what truly matters?

Or is it deep, sustained, reverent -

A gaze that honours the moment,

That sees beyond the noise

And into the heart of things?…….

Soothe

Frantic

Exhausted

Overwhelmed

Running on empty

This culture of rushing and hustle

Demanding everything

Offering nothing in return….
