Summer Solstice - Time To Come Alive

Dear friends, I’m sharing this post with a heart full of love for the wonderful community here at That Curious Love of Green. Those who have trusted me with their creativity, their fears and dreams and those who have reached out to support and encourage me on my own creative journey. I am ever humbled, inspired and fired by your letters, wishes, messages, and the trust you place in me. You make me feel like a lady of letters.

So from this point I say, lets all go together. There are many of you who share my path. You tell me I inspire you to be more open, and fearless in your life, with your dreams, with who you are, so it stands to reason that everyone who does this helps someone else do the same. And THIS is where you find the courage you need.

There is a creative revolution taking place, I believe this is the next stage of our evolution, how we will heal and save the world. I believe it has to start with each individual, then it radiates very powerfully, beyond measure, beyond understanding. We are all of us in peril all of the time so what can we do? The only thing we can do, come alive. It ‘is’ a choice, there are no exceptions.

I choose to keep going, to keep sharing, my writing, my painting, to keep being my authentic self. And as soon as I’m well again I plan to push my boundaries even more. I am scared so I know it will be great, I can’t wait.

If you find yourself on the verge of living, of creating, I urge you to leap. Do it now so that when you do you won’t have to feel so much grief for how long you waited. It’s never too late.

Happy Solstice from the Green Isle

Inner chamber of Newgrange, Co. Meath, Ireland. The 5000 year old passage tomb lights up during the winter and summer solstice…

‘The Rebelliously Creative {Summer} Solstice is upon us and it’s time to depart from what we’ve gotten used to. It’s the season to come alive and, like Nature around us, to live a fully expressed life.’

‘Set fire to your constricting rules.’

Complement my post with this wonderful piece from Rebelle Society <3

      Hello dear friends, ‘who all’s there?’ (a very Irish question) Thank you so much everyone who de-lurked and brightened my yesterday. As promised I will get back to you over the weekend. This is just a quick post in the pulse of the moment. A better day, the med’s may be helping. So every Friday […]

    • Easy Onion Soup & Annual De-Lurking Day… June 18, 2026
      Dear friends. Seeing as how I’m under the weather and all I thought this would be the perfect time to declare a blog de-lurking day. Surely you wouldn’t deny me? In short if you read this blog and in particular if you seldom/never comment then I’m asking you to come out of the bushes and […]

    • Pneumonia June 17, 2026
      Seems I have pneumonia. Not confirmed but my doctor says he’s pretty certain. I’ve been in the wars for a while and let it go on too long. I just didn’t take it seriously until I had to. So a long running cold turned into a chest infection, compounded by the return of my middle […]

    • Read A New Excerpt from My Novel June 3, 2026
      It’s been nine months since I shared the first chapter of my novel here on the blog and I can still remember the sickening terror of setting it free. Since then I’ve made myself sick many more times. I applied for a bursary from the Irish Arts Council, didn’t get it but worse, some anonymous […]

    • A Catch Up June 2, 2026
      Thinking on May now that it’s June…It flew. It was cold, dark, windy, stormy…and wet. I rarely notice bad weather until the weather goes good and has such a positive physical and mental effect on me I think ah so that’s what was wrong all this time, in the grey soup. So I won’t notice the weather was […]

    • Blog Tag: The A to Z of Me May 21, 2026
      I was tagged by Emily at TheNest to join a fun blog tag, the a-z of me. I enjoyed hers so much I almost fell into a ditch, serves me right for reading while walking but it is very entertaining. Emily, thanks for the laughs, like I said, you can squeeze my bum anytime A […]

    • Blustery May 18, 2026
      Good oh my goodness afternoon already. Another morning gone like so much sand through my fingers and what have I to show for it? Yesterday I read back over the first six chapters of my book for the first time in a long time and knew, that when this ‘most intensive edit yet’ is finished, […]

    • Building a Home Library May 15, 2026
      I grew up in a house of readers and when I was young I read all the time. We went to the library every Friday and every Friday I took home seven books because that was the limit. I carried them up to bed and down again in the morning. I can still feel the […]

    • Sky above me, Earth below me, Fire within me… May 13, 2026
      Today…I’ve been editing for my book, it’s going well and was much helped by an open window and wind making the curtains billow. I’ve been reclaiming the house after my weekend away, restoring energy, clearing the pathways. I’ve been walking out in the wind wild lane, it is deeply alive and I feel the same. […]
