May Newsletter: Glimmers and Gentle Growth
May Newsletter – Gentle Growth & Glimmers
Welcome to May; a month where tiny glimmers, small shifts, and soft growth are enough.
There is no rush here, only a space to remember your own rhythm.
Glimmers: A New Lens of Healing
This month, we’re focusing on glimmers. Those quiet, restorative moments that gently return us to a sense of safety and presence.
Where triggers activate our nervous system into defence, glimmers remind us that the world can be soft. They are the opposite of danger; cues of goodness, beauty, and calm.
A glimmer can be:
sunlight warming your skin,
the smell of your favourite meal,
a kind word or smile,
finishing work early,
or simply a moment where your breath deepens and the world softens.
The more we notice glimmers, the more our mind and body learn to trust again.
This month, may you seek glimmers not as a task, but as a quiet remembering: life is still full of light.
What’s Resonating with me: This months choice is ‘And How Does That Make You Feel?’ by Joshua Fletcher.
This month I’ve been reading ‘And How Does That Make You Feel?’ a raw, warm exploration of therapy, growth, and the quiet power of being witnessed.
One reflection that’s stayed with me:
Healing is not a destination — it’s a conversation. A conversation you keep coming back to.
I invite you to see your healing not as a project to fix or perform, but as a gentle conversation with yourself — one you return to with curiosity and care.
