Hello February!

"February arrives cold, wet and grey, her gifts disguised for only the most discerning spirits to see. Gentle is our path. Gratitude is the thread we weave into the fabric of our daily lives this month, giving thanks for our simply abundant lives and asking for the gift of one thing more: grateful hearts" - Sarah Ban Breathnach.


Chapter 2 of 12

I hate January. Everyone is always trying to change themselves "New Year, New You" and then feel really disappointed with themselves if they don't stick to the silly-amount of goals they set themselves. It sucks and its shit. Whats wrong with just being your unique self and not changing? Whats wrong with loving who you are now? Sodding nothing! I love February however. In February there is everything to hope for and nothing to regret. February is the time where winter is nearly over and Spring is just around the corner. Spring is one of my favourite months; fresh flowers and warmer weather are always lovely. By the end of February, everyone is in good moods and I really believe it's down to February being the month of love.

During this month of love, focus on loving more than just those closest to you, love everyone but most importantly, love yourself. If you see drama online, mute the people and don't get involved. If you see bullying, speak up and stand up for the person being bullied online or otherwise. If you see cruelty to animals, the elderly, children, anyone at all speak up and use your voice! Take time out for self-care for free; have a pamper at home and do a facial or your nails, go out for a walk in your favourite park, or do my favourite thing to relax and listen to a Michael Sealey meditation on YouTube. Please just look after yourself.

If you have anxiety or depression or just bad days please remember that even on your worst days it's okay to be sad, it's okay to be confused, it's okay to not know your next step, it's okay to feel like everything is falling apart around you as long as you just keep going. You'll figure it out and I am here for you whenever you need to talk, my inbox is always open to everyone. If you'd prefer to do it anonymously then message me here instead. Please don't think you're alone.

I'm wishing you all the best February possible whatever way you're spending the month ahead and I'm sending you all so much love, happiness and positivity.


With love, Alisha Valerie. x
