In Scotland, 2020 will be all about putting the focus on our stunning coastlines, lochs and waterways as it’s officially the Year of Scotland’s Coasts and Waters (#YCW2020). We’ll be joining into these celebrations big time with a fantastic programme of creative breaks in different locations across Scotland.

Met this gorgeous fellow on my walk along the canal #heron #nature #beautyofnature #wildlife Fantastic shot by @malcolmlightbody at Loch Lubnaig yesterday....even on a dreich day you can get amazing views in Scotland! #photography #scottishlandscape #nature #creativetravel #travelphotography #visitscotland To our friends all over the world...we wish you a wonderful year full of creativity and inspiration ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #ilovescotland #outlander #creative #inspiration AT THE END OF THE YEAR The particular mind of the ocean Filling the coastline’s longing With such brief harvest Of elegant, vanishing waves Is like the mind of time Opening us shapes of days. As this year draws to its end, We give thanks for the gifts it brought And how they became inlaid within Where neither time nor tide can touch them. The days when the veil lifted And the soul could see delight; When a quiver caressed the heart In the sheer exuberance of being here. Surprises that came awake In forgotten corners of old fields Where expectation seemed to have quenched. The slow, brooding times When all was awkward And the wave in the mind Pierced every sore with salt. The darkened days that stopped The confidence of the dawn. Days when beloved faces shone brighter With light from beyond themselves; And from the granite of some secret sorrow A stream of buried tears loosened. We bless this year for all we learned, For all we loved and lost And for the quiet way it brought us Nearer to our invisible destination. JOHN O’DONOHUE #beautifulwords #writing #scotland #mindful #gratitude As some of you know I also create retreats for widows and widowers with my other business Fire & Rain @fireandrainsoulspa . The project is very close to my heart as it came out of my own grief journey. Through the retreats I'm sharing some of the things that have helped me in my own healing journey - being in nature, creative things, yoga, mindfulness, writing, tasteful and inspiring surroundings, and being in the company of people who have experienced a similar loss. The @the.scotsman newspaper had invited me to write down the story behind @fireandrainsoulspa . It was published on 23 December and is available on the Fire & Rain website www.fireandrain.scot #nature #healingjourney #griefsupport #creativity #naturenurture #scottishbeaches #natureheals #transformativetravel Boxing Day crows.... #nature #nature_perfection #crows #mindfultravel
