Sunday Your reminder to rest. This is your last reminder cos I am starting a New Adventure, and need to cut back on some things. So rest well, rest often, rest together and rest apart. It's a good and helpful thing. You are loved, you are valued, you are enough. Rest. Rox

Sunday. Your reminder to rest. We have a Labrador named Doodle, and she is remarkably good at resting. She has decided that the giant soft teddy we bought from IKEA is an excellent dog bed. What can you turn into a resting thing? Also, show me your resting pets! Rox

I have been doing a little colouring in one of those books, and I did a little outlining and shading. And it's the details like that that often make a thing come alive. I'm not sure what that's representative of, but I thought maybe someone would like the reminder. Rox

It's Sunday. It's also Christmas Eve. The waiting & the wondering. And in the middle of it all, The reminder to rest. This year we needed a small Christmas & all the feelings we ignored in past years have taken up the space. I let them be, an act of radical acceptance & hope.

Sunday. Your reminder to rest. When the going is good, it's easy to stop and rest because it's easy to start again. But when everything is a struggle, it can be hard to allow ourselves to stop. What if we lose all that progress? What if we can't start again? Rest bravely. Rox

Sunday Your weekly reminder to rest. From our WhatsApp chat last night, I have been thinking about when there are not safe spaces to be ourselves. That doesn't mean we don't have the right to exist. God made us as much as anyone else. Just breathe. And be. And try to hope.

Sunday. Your reminder to rest. The other evening, I lay down next to my dog for easier delivery of scritches. I ended up lying quietly on the floor with my feet on the sofa. It was less about scritches and more about being. My dog knows a thing or two about rest. Rox

When Creative-ish people collaborate, it sometimes looks a bit like this. Balloons everywhere! My house has been full of them and it's been a delight. ragbagmending.co.uk/2023/11/…

Balloons Everywhere

Would it be possible to make a physical collaborative art project, when all the participants are spread around the country? And what if meeting up in person just wasn’t possible? I’m pa…

Our themes include Glimmers of joy. Today I remembered that great Eleanor Roosevelt quote "Comparison is the thief of joy" I like that quote. Rox

Sunday. Remembrance Sunday. You still need a reminder to rest. I'm still frustrated by the futility of war. Let's hold each other up in our prayers, shall we? Rox

We're meeting on WhatsApp for a text based chat at half past 7, GMT this evening. Probably loosely based on the theme of Paper, but taking in all sorts of creativity and tangents. If you'd like to join us, and you're not part of our WhatsApp group, send us a message.

Sunday. Your reminder to rest. Like the trees in winter Like the bats in daytime Everything and everyone needs rest now and then - some of us more than others. That doesn't make you a failure or diminish your value. You are still beloved. I hope you can rest today. Rox

Esther. A person who's exploits are celebrated in a "Remember When" to this day. We can't all live on such grand scales but we can celebrate and acknowledge the moments that have made a difference. Moments of encouragement, but also standing up for things. What are yours? Rox
