❄️Winter's here - Act Now!
|
Obviously as a good Irishwoman living by traditional calendars (when it suits me anyway!), winter started back at Samhain for me. However, the weather has dropped significantly in the last few weeks. Between Storm Darragh dropping in on us in between two very cold spells, it's definitely wintry weather in this country right now. But it's a good reminder of a few things. 1) Winter is traditionally a time for rest and recuperation in agricultural societies. And Ireland still is fairly agricultural. Plus - it's dark by 4pm these days, so there's little enough time or inclination to leave the house. Time to curl up by the fire and relax. Dream. Engage with your inner self. 2) it also means that Imbolc is approaching. So if you were planning or thinking or had a notion about engaging with Imbolc differently this year, now's the time to start. I have opened Building a Daily Practice with Brigid as I told ye over the weekend. But there are other avenues to explore if that's not your gig. Want to spend more time with the Three Brigs in Ulster? Dive deeper into the saint? 3) Maybe you're thinking holiday gifts and want to gift someone the joy of one of my classes? If so, reach out and I'll set up the voucher for you! 4) Maybe you want to dedicate time each day with Brigid? Or reading the blog? Or just spending some quiet time in meditation and/or prayer? Email back and tell me when and how you'll do this - trust me, it helps to tell someone your plans, adds a bit of accountability to things. Maybe you're focused on survival right now. And that's ok - so are a lot of folk. Just focused on putting one foot in front of the other, surviving through til the weekend, or the end of the month, or until your next day off... It's a horrible place to be. I know cos I've been there. So I'm thinking of you! Bríd libh Órlagh Check out the links below: Patreon Website |

I just posted what I suspect will be a reasonably controversial post in a sea of controversial posts over the last few days. Yeah, it's about Charlie Kirk. No, I'm not celebrating his death - that's mainly cos he wasn't a forceful enough power in my life for that. I don't think it's a bad thing he's dead though. Especially by a fellow right wing Republican... I hope this leads to a better kind of talking in the US. I've seen the tweets. I've read the rhetoric. I've sullied my brain by...
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. If you'd like to try me out, just click on this link and you can buy the sessions. I'll follow up with sending you a link to book the first session and we'll go from there. $227.00 The Brigid Sessions 🌿 The Brigid Sessions A 3-part coaching program to help you define how you work...
