😲I didn't mean to let it go this long!


Life has been busy but I honestly did not intend to leave it this long without emailing ye!

So, in the last month:

💔I've lost two members of my team in work

💔Al has had to change meds causing a lot of upsets

👏I've started going to a Menopausal Women's exercise group which has been fantastic

👏I've gone low/ no carb and my digestive system is miles better

👏I've re-started my journaling habit

👏I've re-started my productivity habits

Places I'm slipping on thought are:

⏳getting my blog posts out on time

⏳getting any emails written at all

⏳drinking water

⏳getting my steps in

⏳allowing time for rest and recuperation

⏳insomnia has hit again, several times a week

⏳stress levels rising

So, life is tough. And, yes, it's at times like this I lean on Brigid. There have been candles lit. Incense burnt. Prayers said. All the things.

And I also need to come back to my basics:

🍽️ food

🫗 water

🛌sleep

🏋️‍♀️ movement

(And yes, I am using emojis to help myself feel better!!)

I'm not looking for advice, but just letting ye know how things are going.

Lots of ideas on how to improve next year though!!

Hi, I'm Orlagh, of Brigid's Forge

I'm dedicated to helping women in particular develop their spiritual path in life. I'm focused heavily on Brigid in Ireland, although not all my followers are! I teach, speak, coach and mentor people to help them along their own individual path, based on what lore we have, but also allowing for each individual path to develop as it needs to.

It's a tough time in the Forge right now. Well let's face it, it's always a tough time in the Forge, but I'm referring to my own private forge for this second. There's a lot of medical bills hitting us and while yes, we are in a much better position than those in the US when it comes to this, it still makes money tight. So, while I'd normally run a million miles away from a Black Friday deal, I'm offering 20% off all courses bought in the next 10 days in the forge. Just use coupon code...

For those of you who link to Instagram or the blog before checking email, you'll already know I'm wearing one of my new favourite t-shirts today. If you don't do that however, here's you're warning that my annual mission to bring joy and happiness to my colleagues through passive-aggressive t-shirts and outfits befitting the season has begun. Yes, this is the t-shirt. I keep telling my senior management it's to help with morale. Mainly mine, but really, if I'm happy, it means fewer people are...

I know, another extra email. But many of you were interested in my menopause journey last time, so I thought ye might have an interested in yesterday's nurse visit. Yesterday was my second visit to the nurse at the menopause clinic in my gp's practice. This was with a nurse practitioner - for those who don't know this is a nurse who has undergone extra training and qualifications to be allowed to prescribe some medicines. Again a thoroughly positive experience. Some key highlights: Everything...
