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.

I don't know about you, but it seems like the weekend was extremely short this time around. I mean ok - I lost a good 24 hours to a night out - between getting ready, going out, coming home and recovering, it just seemed like a full day was missing. And I need my 2 solid days of recuperating from the week to prepare for the next. On the other hand, it was a brilliant night out and I really enjoyed myself. Sometimes, we need to push ourselves out of the comfort zone a bit to experience life and engage with things a bit more. And yes, there are prices to pay, of course. I'm exhausted today in work. I will be leaving work on time today and I'm pushing out meetings all over the place to just get through the day. But I got out. I danced. I got dressed up. I felt good about myself. This too is part of the work. Stretching ourselves to acknowledge that even these less "spiritual" sides of ourselves deserve attention. It's all too easy to fall into the trap of thinking that once we acknowledge the role of spirituality in our lives that we make it our entire lives. Everything has to be spiritual. And there is part of that that is true - everything is spiritual. But that doesn't mean everything is calm and lovely and we all float around in white dresses, sipping herbal tea all the time. Sometimes it takes a slap of make-up and some very risqué clothing, and some wine, and some dancing (well, I call it dancing, it may resemble the actions one might take if one was being electrocuted!) While "letting your hair down" isn't usually part of modern spiritual practices, it is an essential part of living. And there's a role for it in spirituality as well. So, this week, I will be taking it easy and recuperating. Cos next weekend, I'm spending in the company of my niece, the 3 year old, and we all know exactly how relaxing that will be! Just remember. Spirituality incorporates all of you. Not just the praying side. Not just the candle lighting. All of you. Regardless of what that means. You are a well-rounded human being, not a singular aspect. And yeah - in Irish practice the same is true of our deities!! We expect them to be multi-taskers, not just singular options... Bríd libh Órlagh P. S. And remember - drink some water!

I mean, I know this is a consequence of getting older, but this is getting old. I had two days off the day job last week and I spent it clearing out my wardrobe. And worse, considered this a valuable use of time off work. What the hell? I have another two days off this week (got time I need to use or lose) and I'm planning on a deep clean of the bathroom and I'm really looking forward to it. Add this to my recent digestive issues, leading to a change in dietary habits, and I'm getting very...
Or leads to people diving away from me. (OK that's enough with the sports stuff!) Part of the reason is that I've been getting a lot of queries about the Brigid Sessions, so I've put together a product page for them.

I know. I'm writing an email a mere day after the last one. This is most un-Orlagh like behaviour, but bear with me, ok? I started getting some menopause-type symptoms a few years ago, but it was bearable. An increase in hair on my face. Spots for a week a month. A bit more tired than normal. But, y'know, dealable with. It was ok. And I was kinda thinking of ways to make this work for me - treating it as puberty again, but this time, paying respect to myself, my body, my spirit, my needs. And...
