Hope everyone is well? Anyone who saw my post on Threads or Instagram yesterday will know I'm suffering a bit. However, I have just acquired the Holy Trinity of Ibuprofen, Paracetemol and VIcks' Menthol Inhaler to help clear my blocked sinuses. Fingers crossed they all start working soon! A few months back, I said whatever the election results, I would host a retreat for Imbolc this year. Now with the Presidential results in for the US, it's clear I won't be voluntarily travelling to the US for the next four years. So I have two ideas: 1) Host a retreat in Ireland for those willing and able to travel 2) Host an online retreat Now, I have a very tentative third idea about hosting a retreat in Canada, but not sure if people would be interested at all. So, here's my question. Since it's coming to the time of year where I will have some quiet time to research and plan in work, I've put together a very short form for you to give me feedback on this: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSevDQnWfY2JMAvDUwsBjXI4u6OpiO2zTxsnNLDWjl5Jhvo8Vg/viewform?usp=sharing​ There is an area to put in your email address, but it's not a requirement, only if you want to hear more about it. Now, a retreat in Canada is unlikely to happen in February, it may happen later in the year, but the Ireland or virtual options could happen in February, so let me know and I'll see what I can arrange. In the mean time, there's still time to start the Building a Daily Practice with Brigid course and finish before Imbolc!! OK, I'm off to get more meds into me.... BrÃd libh Órlagh P. S.

You'll have received another email from me today with a link that jsut doesn't work. My apologies and I'll send out a new one tomorrow with the proper link. I've redone a few blog posts and it causes some issues with links. But... the bit about my patience being gone? That's real. It might not be covered in this week's blog post, but I will come back to it and I'd be delighted to hear from you if you're in a similar place!!

My patience for bullshit has disappeared. Completely. Gone. That's not really a complaint - it's the actual topic of this week's post, and the thing I want to talk to you about properly here. Perimenopause has had a deep impact on how I think about life, and not the way anyone warned me about. Nobody mentioned the bit where your tolerance for sitting through meeting after meeting just... evaporates. Or that your ability to hide your expressions goes with it, so now whatever I'm thinking is...
So this week's post is about the three marks of a poet, imbas forosnai, teinm laeda, dichetal do chennaib - and the whole time I was writing it, my engineer brain was sitting in the corner with its arms crossed going "prove it." That's the fight I actually want to talk to you about today. Not the poet stuff, the fight underneath it. I'm a Chartered Engineer. Twenty-four years of it. I need things to check out, to be testable, to have a mechanism I can point to and say "this is why this...
