Dear Brave Girl....xxx A message for the Solstice....

Dear Beloved Girl,

When we have old things in our hands that we are afraid of being without, with our fists tightly clenched around those things...and we walk around fearing what will happen if we ever open our hands and let those things go...when we worry whether or not anything else will make it's way into our lives...if we will ever have enough...if our hands will always remain empty if we open them and let the old clenched stuff go...........if we keep doing that, we will NEVER be able to grasp onto what is meant for us.

What is done is done. What is over is over. We are meant to move forward, we are meant to progress. Everything natural and beautiful and true and living was designed to constantly be renewing itself, progressing, living living living and then dying....going on to the next step of it's life cycle. When we clench old things in our hands, we prevent new things from being able to hold hands with us. New experiences, new things to learn, new relationships, new things that we don't even know exist yet.

Today is a great day to finally let go. It will be ok. In fact........it will be incredible.It might hurt for a minute, just like all endings do.......but the new beginning that is just behind the ending (the ending that is long past due) is where the miracles are. Hold on to that hope...but let the rest go.

Let it go. It is time.
You are so very very very loved.

A special night :)



Last night was such a special night.  Abby, Sam and I stayed up late and watched 'Merry Christmas Mr Bean' together all cuddled up on the sofa by the fire, and then afterwards Abby went to bed (her choice), and Sam and I decided to sleep downstairs.  We read his favourite Christmas story again, then cuddled up and talked about Christmas memories and our favourite gifts from Christmas in the past etc etc and we fell asleep in the glow of the Christmas tree :)

It was wonderful!!

I didn't sleep particularly well but it was worth every restless moment to see how much Sam enjoyed it :) This morning I made us both a coffee and we sat and enjoyed the sunrise and the fire and Christmas lights again.  Sam said how lovely it was and how he wants to do it again very soon - so we are going to do it again next week before the tree comes down.  

I think we will make this a new tradition - its definitely a wonderful memory for us both.
