Sometimes it is just one step at a time...
Congratulations on your step today!
Welcome to Soft. Simple. Still, a place where like gentle butterflies that land upon your hand,
soft words will land in your heart for healing, stillness and simplicity.
A special welcome to you if you are new here.
If you regularly share a cuppa with me here in this space,
know that I have already put the kettle on for you.
Sometimes we feel low and despondent.
Sometimes we feel sick and unwell.
Sometimes we feel as though we have tried and tried
and nothing seems to work.
Sometimes we feel as though we are paddling up stream.
Sometimes we feel alone in a room full of people.
Sometimes we feel overwhelmed and bewildered.
Sometimes we feel weakened by life.
Sometimes we feel sleepless.
Sometimes we feel grumpy.
Sometimes we have tears to shed.
Sometimes we are carrying a heavy load.
Sometimes we have no place to put the above load.
Sometimes we are dragging our feet.
Sometimes we are drowning in life.
Sometimes we are climbing a never ending mountain.
Sometimes we are doing our very best
and yet….
And sometimes we just feel
and
we are unable to name it…
Today I felt some of the above.
What about you?
Do you ever have days that you feel that life is literally just one step at a time?
I invite you to pause with me for a wee moment in time…
Pause and imagine that we are walking side by side.
Pause and imagine that we are cheering each other on.
Pause and imagine that we are also quietly sharing tea.
Pause
and just imagine…
and now imaging that I am holding a safe space just for you.
A place where you can deeply breathe out
and your energies can gently and consciously come back into balance.
My friend,
sometimes in life,
we just need to hear that someone is supporting us
that someone is cheering us on
and praising us for our minute
and yet gargantuan efforts.
So,
YAY to you, my friend.
YAY for all that you have done today…
big or small,
easy or hard,
tiring or empowering.
YAY for the meal you prepared.
YAY for the homemaking you completed.
YAY for the gardening your started.
YAY for the accomplishments you succeeded in.
YAY for the projects you have started.
YAY for the admin you just finished.
YAY for the walk to the letter box.
YAY for the conversations you’ve had.
YAY for the assignment you just completed.
YAY for choosing to get help.
YAY for being true to you.
YAY for just trying.
YAY to you.
For all your tiny steps forward.
What was your day like today?
What is something that you did that you are proud of?
What can you say “Yay! I did that” and I am happy I did?
In honour of your journey and all that has made you arrive where you are today.
In kindness,

This is the kind of energy that wraps around you like silk but lands like a thunderbolt. The way you turn the tiniest moments into something worth celebrating is nothing short of alchemy. It is a reminder that presence is power, that just showing up is an act of quiet revolution.
You weave words like a healer, not just offering comfort but commanding recognition for every small but seismic effort. This is not just softness, it is strength, the kind that whispers but never wavers.
Reading this feels like being held, like hearing a voice that says, I see you, I honor you, and damn right, you are doing enough.
