Kezia Kecibas my nutty friend, is jumping out of a plane to raise funds for her beloved M.S Centre, that is a lifeline for both Kezia & so many others. 10th August it's happening & although I think she is absolutely CRAZY, I admire her bravery (insanity) hugely!xx

Help Kezia Kecibas raise money to support Leicestershire MS Therapy Centre

🥹🙏🏽✨💫 It can happen...if you choose it...

... 01.11.25...

I hope you find a kind of love that doesn't rush or roar—
but one that settles into your soul like sunlight after the storm.
A love that doesn't shake the ground beneath you,
but gently reminds you: you're safe here.

The kind of love that listens—
not just to your words, but to your silence.
That sees through your bravest smile
and holds your trembling without asking you to explain it.

A love that doesn't demand perfection,
but leans in closer when you're unguarded, unsure, or unraveling.
Someone who won't flinch at your flaws,
but will trace them softly like constellations in the dark—
proof that you survived, proof that you’re still becoming.

I hope you find someone whose presence feels like home.
Someone who holds your heart without tightening their grip.
Who doesn't just say they love you—
but shows it, in quiet, intentional ways.

They won’t raise their voice to be heard.
They’ll lower it to remind you of gentleness.
They’ll speak in kindness, even when it’s hard,
and choose you—especially on the days you feel hardest to love.

Because love—true love—should never feel like confusion.
It should never leave you questioning your worth,
or wondering if you're too much or not enough.

It should feel like warmth on tired skin.
Like peace after a long journey.
Like a place you can rest,
a space where your soul is understood.

And I hope, with every quiet corner of my heart,
that you find that kind of love.
Because you’ve always deserved it.
And it’s never too late to be held by something real.🥀🌷

Calling All Grand Mothers

We have to live differently
or we will die in the same old ways.

Therefore I call on all Grand Mothers,
everywhere on the planet,
to rise and take your place
in the leadership of the world.

Come out of the kitchen
out of the fields
out of the beauty parlors
out of the television.

Step forward and assume
the role for which you were created:

To lead humanity to health, happiness and sanity.
I call on all the Grand Mothers of Earth
and every person who possesses
the Grand Mother spirit of respect for life
and protection of the young
to rise and lead.

The life of our species depends on it.

And I call on all men of Earth
to gracefully and gratefully stand aside
and let them (let us) do so.

Women, I see you xx

Most women don’t truly understand what feminine energy is or how it works. Many have unknowingly disconnected from their essence..from their inner home. They’re running on autopilot, constantly in survival mode. And this disconnection shows up in every area of their lives—emotional, mental, physical, and even financial.

When a woman is separated from her true self, from her natural flow, how can she feel joy? Peace? It’s common sense, yet so many overlook this truth. Instead, they chase external validation, achievements, or relationships that often leave them feeling more drained than fulfilled.

Feminine energy is not weakness. It is softness with strength. It is presence, intuition, receptivity, and deep inner wisdom. But when society praises only productivity, hustle, and control, it’s no wonder women begin to reject these powerful feminine qualities within themselves.

The world has conditioned many women to suppress their emotions, dim their light, and fit into molds that were never meant for them. As a result, they begin to feel lost, anxious, emotionally unstable, and deeply unfulfilled. They are not broken—they are simply out of alignment.

Worse yet, many women have never actually experienced healthy masculine energy. They’ve only known control, manipulation, abandonment, or mixed signals. So they begin to believe that this is all the masculine can offer, and in turn, they feel unsafe trusting it.

But the truth is, the feminine is not meant to exist in isolation. She is meant to dance in harmony with the sacred masculine—a presence that protects, holds space, and cherishes her essence. When this balance is restored, magic happens.

Through my articles, sessions, and retreats, I’ve seen women awaken to who they truly are. They begin to heal the wounds they didn’t even know they were carrying. They rediscover their softness, their intuition, their sensuality, and their divine power.

This transformation is not just personal—it’s ancestral. When a woman heals, she heals generations before and after her. She stops the cycles of pain, silence, and self-abandonment. She becomes a light, not just for herself but for her community.

I am deeply grateful to the Divine Mother for this path. It is through Her blessings that this sacred work flows through me. I am merely a vessel, here to remind women of what they’ve always been—powerful, radiant, and whole.

This is not about becoming someone new. This is about returning home. Coming back to your truth. And when a woman lives from that place, everything begins to shift—her relationships, her purpose, her finances, her joy.

You are not too much. You are not too emotional. You are not too sensitive. You are exactly as you were meant to be. Let yourself come home.

THE INVITATION

"It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing.

It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for the adventure of being alive.

It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon. I want to know if you have touched the centre of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become shrivelled and closed from fear of further pain.

I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own, without moving to hide it, or fade it, or fix it.

I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own; if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, be realistic, remember the limitations of being human.

It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself. If you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul. If you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy.

I want to know if you can see Beauty even when it is not pretty every day. And if you can source your own life from its presence.

I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand at the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, 'Yes.'

It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone and do what needs to be done to feed the children.

It doesn't interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the centre of the fire with me and not shrink back.

It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away.

I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments."

Back at work after too many days off lately! Mostly have my voice back but it is a bit hit & miss! Reception / Front of House work will be interesting! Croak! 🐸

Honestly, this winter has been brutal for bugs in our house. You know that feeling when you kind of have forgotten what it feels like to be well? I think it'll be a shock when I finally am well!

I'll gradually be coming back online as my health returns more. Watch out for the Spring 🌸 comeback for Cherry Blossom Therapies because it will be awesome!

Then, in April, Networking time again. Lots to do behind the scenes before the comeback, but very exciting nonetheless!

See you soon,

Something a little different...😊✨

Seemed appropriate to share squirrels on the day I submit my Right to Choose referral request to get my ADHD Assessment in place.

I have been on the adult pathway, awaiting an initial assessment after scoring 98.5% on the screening questionnaire, since DECEMBER 2021...That is 38 months waiting to get the help I need to thrive for my children. Some areas are even worse for waiting lists!

However, it is in, I wrote a letter to my GP, using the really helpful template letter, & I actually sent it off. I am on my way for assessment & diagnosis finally. I'm not really sure what difference it will make to me. I don't know what extra help is out there or even necessary for me, but whatever it is, or isn't, just knowing will be huge to me.

Many many years have gone by of struggles & confusion of why I find seemingly simple things so hard. The low moods, inability to complete tasks, chaotic living regularly, an inner restlessness that is constantly there, a difficulty in waiting for things & all the while, taking care of my three children as well full time, as best I can.

With the youngest of the fabulous 5 Hobbshach Sparkles in his last year of primary school, & the eldest about to leave high school & begin at college, it's time to move forwards positively into our new chapters of life.

As we approach the 7yr mark of the cycle of huge changes & bereavements, from 2018, to now, 2025, things look a lot different & so much brighter. I CAN SEE PAST TOMORROW!

Keep trying lovely ones, you'll get where you want to be even if you're a late bloomer like me & mine...

💜 Anna Chantal xx
