You are always on my mind ✨💖✨

This week I have heard the song ‘Always on my Mind’ by Elvis on countless occasions. I’ve got into the car three times this week and turned on the radio and it’s playing. It’s just happened again as I write this and I think I can’t but not write about it. Serendipity or synchronicity - if you believe in either or maybe just a very magical sign from the bigger picture that we are seen, we are heard and in ways someone somewhere is watching….. I love these signs and even though everytime the song has come on this week, I’ve ended up in a bundle of tears, I am so grateful for these moments because every time my tears have fallen, I know inside each drop, healing is happening. My grief is very prevalent this week and I know why, it’s the awards but I just want to recognise how grateful I am for this song this week too because Gran was always on my mind and in ways I’m thinking, I might be on hers too.

Also it reminded me of the power of love and how in the moment, we must embrace the people we love and that if we are lucky enough to find our tribe, find our people, find people who love us for being us, we will never lose that love even if our people are out of reach. It’s inside us and the love that we share will last the test of time, we just need to lean into it.

Also the gift of memories is something I’m really grateful for this week too. I’m so grateful that I am healthy and that my mind allows me to travel back into those loving moments of happiness and equally the gift that I can then travel back to present tense. There are so many people who suffer from onset dementia and alzheimer’s & are living in the eye of the storm when the mind loses its way and I take this moment to think of them all. We must always work hard to be aware of how lucky we are and how things could always be worse. And how for many, life is so hard. If we have are healthy and well, if we have people who fill our hearts with love, we have an awful lot.

Thank you Elvis for being so present in my life this week - such an unexpected gift, an unexpected sign and an unexpected message because Gran sure was always on my mind and it just was what I needed in this moment - a reminder that she’s not too far away. A few people who I love dearly have been under severe stress and strain lately and they too have been on my mind so I guess this song also reminds me that to be on someones mind is a very special place to be.

Love to all and keep thinking of others and keep being your magic self,

You are always on my mind too,
