I’m walking 80K this February to raise much needed funds for Women’s Aid.

Cold hands and warm heart!
Sunday 22nd Feb
On Friday afternoon I decided to go for a walk around my neighborhood.
The light was really beautiful. It made everything feel softer and calmer, even the streets I see every day. The sun was falling on the canal water and the beautiful reflection it created.
But the wind was freezing, it didn’t match the sunshine at all.
Still, I’m glad I went out. Sometimes it’s enough just to step outside, feel the light, and take a break from the day, even if you come back with cold hands (and warm heart)!

Night walkers
Friday 20th Feb
Last night, I almost didn’t go.
It was late, and I was tired. But when I looked outside, I noticed it wasn’t raining. After so many wet evenings, I decided to put on my shoes and stepped out.
Living near the city center makes it easier to walk late — there’s always life around you.
And then I saw the moon.
It was beautiful. I slowed down without meaning to. The tiredness didn’t disappear, but it softened.
By the time I came home, I was still tired, but I was glad I had gone. Sometimes a short walk under a clear sky is enough to bring you back to yourself.

Lunar New Year in Dublin
Sunday 15th Feb
Today I felt completely drained, but I still pushed myself to go for a walk, even with the rain coming and going.
It’s Lunar New Year, and the city centre is full of lights and lanterns. There’s something really special about it — colour, warmth, and little moments of joy everywhere. Despite the grey weather, everything felt full of love.
I came home feeling lighter, and my cat was there to welcome me. Sometimes the hardest part is just stepping outside.

Friday I'm in love!
Sunday 15th Feb
On Friday, the sun finally made an appearance in Dublin. I stepped away from work, took a proper break, and went for a walk — my first in almost a week.
This time I stayed in my own neighborhood, which has been dubbed the “Brooklyn of Dublin.” I loved the light, the atmosphere, and just being out and about again. It was absolutely freezing, but honestly, it made my day.
Sometimes a little sunshine is all you need ☀️

First walk in a while and goal achieved 💜
Sunday 8th Feb I’m still under the weather but felt good enough to go out and walk for a couple of hours. As soon as I came back home I realized that the goal had been reached!!! Thank you SO so much for your incredible support, I’ll keep going and sharing updates and shots from my Dublin walks! Grazie 💜 Share
A Shift in Light: Celebrating Imbolc and All Women
Sunday 1st Feb
It was a glorious day today. The sun was out for the first time in weeks, just in time to celebrate Brigid and Imbolc, the ancient festival marking the beginning of spring.
I marked the first day of spring with my first walk of the month, and honestly, the sunshine felt like a blessing. It’s amazing how a little light can shift the whole perspective and lift one's mood.
To all my sponsors, thank you - you are giving me the motivation to continue, We are indeed blessed by Brigid.
I'll keep going. This is just the beginning 💜
