You are not broken so you do not need fixing. Without darkness there would be no light. Good therapy takes place in the shadows, in the places you don't want to go. The places you don't want anybody to see. It can be scary and it can be messy but with a safe, secure companion, who knows their way out of the shadows, you will reach the light. Thank you Bell X1 for the inspiration ❤️

This week's song is The Song of Good Hope by Glen Hansard. Hansard has been prominent in Irish music for over 35 years with bands The Frames and The Swell Season. This song is from Hansards first solo album, 2012s Rhythm and Repose. The song is slow, simple and gentle. Just soft guitar playing, joined later by soft violin. It has the gentle swing of a soft lullaby. Just how we should be in January, soft, gentle, slow, going with the flow and hopeful. Reaching out for all the help we can get.

This week's song is 'Enjoy Yourself [It's Later Than You Think]' by Carl Sigman and Herb Magidson [1949]. Always featured in Jools Holland's Annual Hottenanny this song offers humour wrapped in truth. Beneath its cheerful swing is a reminder that life moves faster than we think. Arriving in postwar America, it spoke to a world ready for optimism yet aware of time’s fragility.
This song preaches a philosophy I try to consciously live by. The years really do go by as quickly as a wink and in todays culture of busyness and constant noise it can be very hard to take a moment to ask yourself 'Am I really enjoying my life right now?' 'What would I be doing if I stopped worrying about all of the things I can't control?' This message has become all the more poignant with the recent sudden loss of a dear family member. As I reflect on my highlights of 2025 I am glad that I spent as much time as I possibly could with the people and animals I love, peacefully breathing in the nature of some of the most beautiful parts of Ireland, appreciating the privilege it is to grow older and learning all that I can to be a better version of myself. And always enjoying music.
As Ferris Bueller wisely said 'Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.' Happy New Year, enjoy yourself x

I have been looking for a grief support group for a client of mine and I'm shocked to discover there are none currently in Navan. I feel this is a massive gap in support within the community which can make a huge difference to those experiencing grief and loss.

I'm based in Navan shopping centre and have the space to facilitate a small group. I just want to gage if this is something people are interested in. If you or anyone you care about are interested in attending a grief support group can you please contact me. You can PM me here or email me at [email protected]
