Happy New Year 2

​I call this Ukrainian New Year a tradition of celebrating using the Georgian calendar.

Happy New Year! John O’Dlonohue

​

For you Margot

​When I go,

don’t learn to live without me,

just learn to live with my love,

in a different way.

And if you need to see me,

close your eyes,

or look in your shadow,

when the sun shines,

I’m there.

Sit with me in the quiet and you will know,

that I did not leave.

There is no leaving when a soul is blended with another.

When I go,

don’t learn to live without me,

just learn to look for me in the moments.

I will be there.

Let Go

​HELLO SEPTEMBER,

THE SEASON OF LETTING GO

And so begins the season of letting go,

when Mother Nature shows us all,

how it’s done.

Let go,

free yourself, 

shake it off,

drop it,

give way for the new.

Create space for new thoughts, new ideas, 

new adventures and new connections,

by shedding the dead weight you’ve been carrying around,

for so long.

And whilst you are there, being reborn and renewed, 

let go of old anxieties too.

Let go of any doubts, fears or beliefs which no longer serve you well.

Release bitterness or past hurts which feast on your beauty.

Be brave,

Don’t fear the nakedness as your leaves slip away.

Mother Nature doesn’t,

watch and learn.
