I need to adopt your methods Debs, my candle is burnt out, the lightbulb blown... the need for a gentle, slow glow now urgent and thankfully holidays, in the nick of time!

I live thé way you’ve written this lovely... thank you for the reminder that it’s possible 🙏🏽xx

That means so much to me, especially from you, whose way with words is sublime. Thank you. I believe it's something we need to reframe, to do all the time, all year round, as we become more and more frazzled with the way we live. I hope you find some much needed space soon.

Never a 6 word one, perhaps I’ll give one a try today. I did once enter a 100 word contest. It was fun!

"softened, diffused, but not extinguished". Beautifully put. What a lovely approach to a new year. I wonder if you follow Emma at The Brazilarte Collective. You might enjoy her personal journey which has echoes of 'dialled up, dialled down'.

Have a lovely festive season, finding moments of peaceful tranquility. Looking forward to having a natter in the new year.

Oh, thank you, Barrie!

Is Emma on Substack or do I need to google?

I hope your festive season is tranquil too!
