Beloved, Utterly vulnerable and knowing that everything I think I know, continues to be transformed in the light of your love, I offer you my deepest gratitude. The expansion and contraction, the fear and elation, the surrender of it all, the grief in feeling it all, Being it All, passing through the eye of the needle with You into Vibrant-Blossoming-Beauty…is Life’s greatest gift. I’m so grateful for your commitment – not to ‘us’, but to Love. For your dedication to Truth and Intimacy. For calling me to Deeper Woman as I call you to Deeper Man. Your constant ability to show up just kills me… in the most painfully beautiful way. I love your reflection and the mirror you are. I love how what moves through you, moves through me, and vice versa. I love being able to drink you in, in all weathers…. You move me so, my love.

I’m not sure what the collective noun for grandchildren is…a whirlwind of grandchildren? A pandemonium of grandchildren? Well, whatever the word is, there’s only one person who keeps the show on the road when the whole family comes together and that’s the kids’ granny, my mother, Anne. Anne is the one who is always planning the next family get-together. She keeps my two adult brothers and I in check (not that she needs to, of course), while finding time to maintain a busy social life and get a crossword done, every day. She even puts up with me when I pop in for her famous lasagne or chicken pie! While Mam can hilariously be my harshest critic when I’m on TV (she turns the volume down when my voice-overs come on the telly!!), she’s also the one who encourages me to spoil myself; we share a love for afternoon tea and for trips to London to see a West End show every so often. So, to the woman who keeps it all together, thanks Mam and let’s see a show in London soon xxx
