This has always been on my heart about encouraging women.  I am passionate about encouraging women to believe in themselves.

Last weekend I spent the day experimenting with paints, pens, with colours and also with encouraging words.

I have been thinking about women who have been going through an eating disorder and how I could encourage them. This week as I was driving to work I had one of those amazing moments where I had an answer to my question Yeah!

What I would really love to do is send you, yes you beautiful one an encouraging message.

If you would love an encouraging message please message me. I want to remind you that anything that you tell me is confidential, I will not share anything that you have shared with me.

I am really excited about this project.

You can contact me on traceybuckley2@hotmail.com or you can message me.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

 

 

 

 

 

This weekend I have been in that creative process, of thinking and of reflecting. I have allowed myself time to sit to just be, without thinking I should be doing this and that.

Worship music has been on and I have been singing again.

Yes, I miss singing.

I have placed aside for the moment my studies, just for this weekend.

I have been in that space where creativity needs to come back into my life.

Being creative fuels me, it encourages me, sometimes it’s frustrating and sometimes it can be messy.

I need to do something creative every day to find my balance. It’s in that creative space that we all to often forget to spend time, that’s when we allow ourselves to have the moment that is when refreshing will fall upon us.

This is when new ideas will appear this is where we see the colour coming back into our lives.

Having the space to create is where ideas start flowing.

Inspiration makes a comeback.

If you having been embracing your creativeness how are you going to bring it back?

What is one thing that you can do today to spend time in that creative space?

Get out your pens, paper, scrapbook, your guitar or whatever leads you to your creative space.

Today just be creative.

Give yourself time to let the creativity begin.

 

A few Sunday’s ago, I was walking into the Church that I attend I had this thought, that this is the place for the broken. Church is the place for Broken People.  We can walk into Church and we can just be. We can just breathe. This is the place where we can just be us, the place where we don’t have to have it altogether, where we can just be ourselves, the place where we can be real.

This is the place that we can bring our brokenness and lay it at Jesus feet.

I really wanted to share this for anyone who is feeling Broken.

May this be the day that you wipe away those tears of shame of loss of disappointment of loneliness of confusion and of rejection.

May today be the day where those tears that you have cried, have made you stronger.

That today may you no longer struggle with those thoughts of brokenness, of shame and of loss.

May today be the day that you know how much that you are loved.

May today be the day that you realise that someone is cheering you on.

We all have those days where we feel that we have let ourselves down. We all have those days where we feel disappointed in ourselves, where we feel so hurt and broken. We all have those dark and lonely times when we are experiencing great hurt.

Have you been there, has this happened to you?

We need to be gentle with ourselves.

You are not alone.

Find a Church that can help you.

Find someone that can pray with you.

Look after yourself beautiful one.
