Have a Mindful Weekend


Friends, I hope you have a peaceful, mindful weekend. What are you up to?

I'm looking forward to trying the new fish-finger menu (yes, really) at One-O-One restaurant in Knightsbridge tonight and taking part in our neighborhood jumble sale (goodbye, old clothes and furniture!) tomorrow.

I also just wanted to share that I'm struggling at the moment with some really sad news about a very close friend of mine who just passed away. I have been searching for the words to tell you how I feel about this - and how I felt about her - all week.

And they have all been so inadequate.

So I'll wait until the right ones come.

Until then, I have woken, crying, from dreams where I've been searching for her - more times than I can count this week.

My heart hurts so much right now and I keep looking up at the sky for answers. Those pink streaks of clouds don't bring me closer to any, but they do bring me some peace. They're a salve on a very much stinging, very open wound.

Be well, and keep each other close.

      What a small world, Charlotte ... she was remarkable, special, and so very loved. Anyone who knew her is absolutely heartbroken. Thank you for your message. xxx

    I'm so sorry for your loss Jamie. I lost one of my dear friends back in March and it was so difficult in so many ways, but for blogging I too struggled with what to write. xo

    I'm so very sorry for your loss Jaime; what you will never lose though will be the memories you have. I hope the skies stay pink for as long as you need x
