💅 Self Care, Fresh Nails & Birthday Joy!
|
Why yes, it is my birthday this coming Sunday. (Hence the coupon ORLAGHBIRTHDAY45 giving you 45% off any and all courses before July 15th) And yes, it is Father's Day. Those good at the counting will realise I was also born on Father's Day, meaning I can never really beat the first pressie I ever gave Dad. (Something I remind him of when giving him yet another pair of socks. Seriously - he doesn't drink any more, he has everything he ever wanted from a golf point of view - what's a girl to do???) ​ Well, first off, I did my nails yesterday. For the full post, you can see the Insta post here. Now, the blog post this week was about being tired, so you might be imagining why my nails were the highlight of my Sunday. Well, it's a small amount of effort for something to make me smile for the week. And that's needed right now. Whether it's yet another failed attempt to break the Israeli blockade on Gaza, or the so-called LA riots, which had Trump calling in the National Guard against the governor's wishes... well, the world is pretty fucked up right now. And keeping on top of it all can lead to exhaustion. We can't all care to equal depths about everything in the life. Seriously - we can't. It's not possible. But we can work to give ourselves small moments of joy. These are too important to skip. Those moments of joy are what makes life worthwhile. And ok, in a warzone, they might be hard to come by, most of us aren't technically in a warzone. So, take the moment for something that brings you joy. BrÃd libh Órlagh P. S. And don't forget a bit of learning might give you joy as well - that 45% off is running til 15th July and not once second later.

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 got out of the practice of writing last week. A week off work, followed by some major issues to deal with meant various things got dropped by the wayside. And a blog post and the emails were some of them. Fierce sorry about that, but it really was a case of prioritisation... I had a lovely weekend though. I sat on the couch on Saturday and didn't move. I think I did fewer than 700 steps all day. I needed it though. I came home on Friday night and I was tired. Like tired. Didn't make it to...
A lot of you seem to enjoy last week's "life" update, so I thought I'd give it a go again this week. It's my birthday weekend! I'm 45 on Sunday, which also happens to be Father's Day here in the Emerald Isle. I was also born on Father's Day, so I keep saying I was obviously the best present Dad ever got for the occasion. He occasionally agrees with me... Am I celebrating? Hell yeah! I didn't get to celebrate my 40th as I wished because of bloody Covid, so I'm celebrating this year. the family...
I thought I'd give ye a life update. Cos, y'know, things happen. And sometimes, Brigid works in mysterious ways. So, my doctorate started a few weeks ago. I am now consumed with college assignments again, although to be honest, some of them are fairly short. Like <200 words short. So I can live with that. What I need to do, though, is build some structure into my life and put aside the time for studying. I'm using the next three months of assignment time to get that sorted out. I mean, yes,...
