I’m not a god person. You can be. That’s ok. I like the architecture and gothic horror appeal of the sight. #yorkshire uk dominating a tiny village that doesn’t even have a shop. #discover #churches #architecture30 Sep 2026 06:22 +0000at://did:plc:dz5sdte4vmca4bvndev4aqbh/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwppd3pwfs2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/swhhope.bsky.social/post/3mwievgnpn22vTo help people avoid toxic dating. Or unpack a bad relationship aftermath. I’ve been through it. I have 2 reviews, a genuine 5 star and now a 2 star, added by a hater who tries to bring me down whenever I rise. Not sure if I can get that review removed? #booksky #authorlife #dvawareness #help27 Sep 2026 08:27 +0000at://did:plc:dz5sdte4vmca4bvndev4aqbh/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwievgnpn22vhttps://bsky.app/profile/swhhope.bsky.social/post/3mwgqohbhwo2sOne of many favourite trees. It’s the roots for me, branching out, searching, striving. Metaphors. Our roots should feed us.

Happy FriYAY lovely peeps of Bluesky. We are now at that time of year: Alarm goes off, light gets switched on. It’s the precursor to hitting snooze 5 times and wishing for pre-industrial revolution hibernation. #wheeloftheyear #discover #nature25 Sep 2026 05:33 +0000at://did:plc:dz5sdte4vmca4bvndev4aqbh/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwd2bbtgtk2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/swhhope.bsky.social/post/3mw7klsbht32hThe wheel turns to Mabon. The final harvest. We reap what we have sown. The next stop is Samhain- all Hallows eve. From here the veil thins, winnowing to a reckoning point where the ancestors ask for the cost to be paid or gift wisdom.

Rude! I’ve de-centered relationships but lots of folk still want that partnership. Or to unpack an aftermath. Great for teens and adults alike. No scary stats, quite fun actually.

Nature heals the dirge of the world. I’m starting to move through my personal situation stuff, taking steps to disentangle.
