Why make a normal Victoria sponge cake when you can make a blue and green one? Thankfully still tastes yummy... #cake #rainysaturday #timeforacuppaDay 1 of being signed off the bit of work I could be signed off from, due to exhaustion. Realising how tired my body is. Saw amazing bluebells. Inhaled their scent. Stumbled home to sit in the sun. Stared at bluetits on our cherry tree. Read a bit of a book. Napped for an hour. Repeated go slow, be gentle, be kind to yourself. Felt grateful for being able to be signed off. #sleep #rest #bestillmysoul #bekindtoyourself #mentalhealth #bluebells #stopping #tiredness48 hours away in Selsey to pay attention to my body, listen to @lostwordsspellsongs from the National History Museum, drink @skylark.coffee, hang out with the One who loves me most, walk in pretty places, have a morning walk in ancient Yew trees with my Dad, read books and realise the weight of exhaustion that covers me right now. Grateful for the husbandface for holding the fort and My Maker for blue seas, green grass and a beautiful word to bumble around in. #timeoff #exhaustion #beauty #soulsoothing #toesjusttouchedthewaterWalking my tired body around the woods. Noticing the green creeping higher and wider each day. This world reminding me that resurrection always comes. That hope will win out. That there are inescapable wonders even through the aching bones and fog in my brain. #inescapablehope #walkingon #green #blueskiesObligatory I’ve had a haircut selfie! Ah the small joys of life in this weird world. #haircut #pandemiclife #grateful #feelinglikemeFound some friends and good times out at Queen Elizabeth Country park today. Beautiful sunshine and amazing assault course for the not so small ones. All exhausted now! #sunnysaturday #friends #blueskies #queenelizabethcountrypark #sleepnowArchives

Last night I returned to husbandface’s shed at 6pm and started another term of spiritual direction training. I love this group of people who are journeying together through these three years of starting to learn the art of providing space … Continue reading

It turns out I actually like writing…
Friday morning. I blow the dust off the keyboard. Sit down. And start to type. The choice lurks. To continue with a style of slow. Or to find the chatty voice, the recaller of time and space which I have … Continue reading

The end…and maybe a beginning…
The Spiritual Direction course I’ve been doing this year came to an end today. It was a day of endings and ponderings for the future. Part of the day was sharing letters we’d written to God about what might happen … Continue reading

Be kind to Kath week…
Flip it’s been a while. The last two months have been like a long black tunnel of survival, for reasons I’ll go into at some other point. Suffice to say that today, in this moment I feel ok. It might … Continue reading

Spiritual Direction
Last week I attended the first session of a course in spiritual direction run by our local diocese (I was going to explain what that word meant but then realised I had no idea, some group of Anglican parishes under … Continue reading
