Happy Easter Friends!

This Easter weekend I’m going to stop. I’ve promised myself that I will take time to be fully in the moment with my little family and I’m determined to honour that promise.

Working from home means watching the dishes pile up as you work or watching emails stack up as you do the housework. Both these sets of tasks are always at odds with what I REALLY want to be doing which is enjoying time with my family. Slowly but surely, I feel I’m managing to find the work/life balance but I’m a long way from having is sussed so Easter weekend for me is a time to stop and take stock. I don’t write a great deal about my faith as I feel that it is something quite personal but it is, equally, very important to me…I see Easter as the most important time in the faith year and this is why it’s so important for me to stop and acknowledge it in the only way I know how – by spending time with the people I love the most, in places I love most and really being grateful for all that I have.

Sometimes, it’s in the stillness and quiet with just your own thoughts, that you find the answers to all kind of questions that have been troubling you. Last month I travelled to the Lake District for a photographic course and was fortunate to arrive at my destination as sunset neared. I saw Lake Windermere from the roadside, swung the car into a car park and grabbed my camera… my heart quite literally soared at the view. I sat on the jetty watching the boats break the stillness of the water, listening to the birds at the waters edge and taking the occasional picture and all the while I just allowed all my thoughts to wash over me. I left that jetty feeling lighter, happier and rejuvinated from my journey.

I hope for you all that you find time this Easter to stop and be truly ‘in the moment’.

Happy Easter everyone!
