Get on and Shine with Holly Honeychurch

Camera recommendations please. For cloud capturing. Thereโ€™s so much more to see in these shots but my old phone canโ€™t do them justice. Got a budget of around ยฃ400 so I know Iโ€™m limited. Cheers.

The beach at sunset with epic clouds and shimmering shores

First proper beach walk on New Year’s Day. A lull in the weather meant that I could get fascinated with all things shelly and stony. I was so obsessed with listening to the sound of the sea rolling the little stones against the shore that a wave went over my wellies! ๐Ÿ˜… ๐Ÿ˜„ Such a hypnotised amateur.

Ran down the road in my pjs to get the best shot of this lushness at dawn this morn ๐Ÿ˜„

May 2024 fill you with hope. A hope that’s beyond this material, physical world. A hope that stretches out far into the ether and meets with heaven. A hope that’s so comforting, so nourishing, that you are capable of achieving miracles through its power.

May you be always be protected by angels of light and divine beings of love.

May you laugh lots, dance often, giggle every day and find a hug whenever you need one. May you hug others when they need one too. We all need more hugs!

When times are tough, when darkness surrounds you, call upon Our Lady, our safety, our sweetness and our hope to guide you into the light. Say your prayers. Remember what beacons of love they are, should you be lost or feel lonely. Call on them. Find your most favourite prayer and memorise it. You are not alone. Find faith, it’s a great comfort.

May 2024 kiss your face with sunshine, have you dancing in delicate, rainbow showers and see you going out in breezes that will blow away your cobwebs.

May you find comfort in the love of others in your community. May you feel nourished by giving back and supporting them too. It feels good to help.

May you find inspiring people to be around. Those who bring out the best in you. Those whose auras are clear, bright and loving. Find people who light up the room with joy when they enter and who bring tears to your eyes with their kind, selfless service. Be with them and learn from them.

I ask God for more grace in 2024. Always more grace. And trust. To quell the (silly) worries, the burdens, the situations in life that present themselves.

I’ll kneel, I’ll surrender, I’ll pray, I’ll ask for help. I’ll say ‘Jesus take care of this’, when I feel lost or confused. I’ll remember that I am not alone.

I ask for more opportunities in 2024, to play harp music to those who need comfort. Those who need to be held by a divine, musical hug. I offer myself up to do the work of the Holy Spirit to help others through my music.

So much divine timing happened in 2023 to allow me to move from Scotland back to England to live by the glorious sea in the sweetest community I’ve ever met. Everything aligned perfectly, like a jigsaw puzzle slotting into place exactly when it needed to and not a moment before. It would be impossible to ignore all the signs and wonders that took place to guide me here. Therefore, I’ll always remember to surrender and trust the will of God and Christ’s light in the face of such divine power.

I am truly excited and elated for what 2024 will bring, always remembering to forgive myself and love myself more.

And may you love yourself too because it all starts with love.

Thank you for being here! Thank you for your support! Let’s shine out with healing light together and make the world a brighter place. ๐ŸŒŸ

Happy New Year!

Love Holly
