⭐ When a Star is Born 0005 🌠 aka Droga Diana (S-I-X Weeks Old)

#LoveLoveLoveLiveLove  

Drogie piękne 42-dniowe dziecko w ramionach Twojej pięknej matki, /Dear little baby in your beautiful mammy's arms, 

Masz sześć tygodni! (42 dni!) Tá tú sé seachtaine d'aois! (42 lá!)

You are six weeks old!  (42 days!)

* Maidin mhaith as Gaillimh * Good morning from Galway * Pozdrowienia od sąsiada z Galway *

Some people in this crazy way of things right now say in the beautiful English language, "grand risings", instead of "good morning".

Each to their beautiful own. Own.It.

But, everybody who knows me better than superficially knows that I don't give a (beautiful) tinker's curse, nor a (gorgeous) fiddler's fart, about the Jonesiz.
(Except for caring about their well-being and wellness).

BUT there IS ONE PERSON who's opinion DOES MATTER TO ME.

And that is my good friend Niall Guy, formerly of the beautiful, historic, important, gigantic James Connolly Tower, Ballymun, where I lived blissfully with him that year.

If *I* were to say "Grand Risings" to you or to anyone, I would have Niall's beautiful face and voice in my head saying:

"Ya fukin' SAP Briadge!"

But I digress.

Do you love music? Singing? Swaying to music? Lilting along? Humming? Whistling along?
Do you *love* languages? Mother tongues? Father tongues? OtherLanguages? Romance languages? Slavic languages? Ancient beautiful Celtic languages? Groovy languages with clicks and all groovy types of things? The beautiful clever English language? 

(I *know* you're a bit young and wee for all of that Lovely Diana, but in a previous life maybe???)

Do you like to be silly? And childlike? And singing out of tune as in Ger Wolfe's beautiful song "I watched the sun"?

Do you like to laugh? And copy accents? And daydream? And talk to your imaginary friends?

Well! Have a listen to this 23-minute excerpt from my radio show "Rogha Bhríde" - Bríd & Brigit's choice - Music to Nourish & Heal, from Flirt FM 101.3, Galway.

Start your day with a few lovely things around you.
Have your breakfast coffee in your favourite cup. (Tell your ma and da!)
With your favourite colours around you.

Just tell yer ma to find 3 things that you love to look at, and place them on her table or breakfast counter so you can see them while having yourself 20 minutes of peace and tranquility this new day in your bouncy-bed-thingy.




Right Little  Lady, I know *you* have funk all else to do today but lie there like a beautiful lazy layabout, being boob fed by that gorgeous mammy of yours & cooned at by that "tall and kind" daddy of yours, but
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,   
But I have promises to keep,  (myself) 
And miles to go before I sleep,   
And miles to go before I sleep.

and my wee beautiful gentle reminder to go get meself a 'nother cuppa coffee has just sounded.
That be, my beautiful "hillside" wooden-sounding thing that goes off on my mobile phone, which sounds like that gorgeous wee wooden box on a drum kit in a Céilí Band, like the Shannon Vale Céilí Band, innit pet?

PS What did you say kochane piękne dziecko. WHERE'S THE Essential Rogha Bhríde Radio Show playlist for today?
Coming up right after my second cuppa coffee love!

⭐ When a Star is Born 0004 🌠 aka Droga Diana (Three Weeks Old)

#Procrastination #SelfSabotage #MovingOn #HeyDreamer #JohnSpillane #CarnivorousMe Drogi piękny noworodku w ramionach mamusi/Dear little newborn baby in your beautiful mammy's arms, masz trzy tygodnie! (Dwadzieścia jeden dni!) You are three weeks old! (21 days!) I miss you! I'm often away from home, and I never miss it. I always love coming home, but I don't miss being away. But I miss you! Yesterday at a special market in a garden centre, I saw some little towels with some cute little designs, and I thought of you. I'm working on improving my life by following John Spillane's two songs, "Hey Dreamer" and "I'm Moving On". Taking a leaf out of my son's book that he's reading "Atomic Habits", and my own book which I was inspired to read by that beautiful Amanda and her gorgeous husband Scott, Jordan Peterson's "12 Rules of Life". Last evening a few hours before going to bed, I watched Amanda's most recent video. It was just what I wanted. And I set my alarm clock for 6am {piece of cake these dayz as I'm going to bed with sunset and rising at sunrise}, and I wrote in my "WantToDoList" that I would "work from 7am until 11am". I've just realised, and it's not the first time, that putting pressure on myself to "work" isn't conducive to my go-with-the-flow nature. Pushing too hard for something just pushes it away, as in the gorgeous song by Fia, "The Art of Letting Go". She sings "the more I struggle and fight, trying to get it all right, I push away the very thing I want/Thinking it's all up to me, deciding how it will be, forgetting that I'm guided by the one/So I forgive myself over again, because I'm doing the best that I can, and there are no mistakes, I learn everyday, and the Universe is showing me the way". What I saw first hand before, is that everything I do to improve my life and wellbeing is "work", and I just want to remember it everyday. And to remember that by starting my day off with doing some of the more fun work things, then I fire myself up for a few hours of concentrated and focussed "dollar work", which gives me more wings to do more of the non-dollar things. 💸💸💸 So here I am dear Diana, practising what I teach. Start your day with creative, fun work, and know that you will be focussed and clear to do 4 or 5 hours of dollar work in the afternooon or evening, depending on the position of the sun, the amount of clouds, the vicinity of friends I haven't seen in a long time, etc. etc. (I *know* you're a bit young to be earning dollars babe, but tell your ma and da...!) And now I'll leave you to sleep beautiful little blondie, with some gorgeous songs to soothe you, and Amanda's beautiful YouTube video from the other day.

⭐ When a Star is Born 0003 🌠 aka Drogi Piękny Noworodku w Ramionach Mamusi/Dear little newborn baby in your beautiful mammy's arms

Dear little newborn baby in your beautiful mammy's arms/Drogi piękny noworodku w ramionach mamusi, 


I had 3 items of evidence of you little angel. But they were all circumstantial, because there was not a bit of you in sight. Just the beautiful items of clothing on the clothes horse that day in the Galway sunshine. Pink! Which had me guess that you're a girl! Yayyyy! And your beautiful black & gold pram sparkling in the rays of the sun! And of course your mammy's beautiful big round proud belly that morning I saw for the first time that you were in sight. Just hours before she left to bring you into the world. 

So the four magpies were just a decoy! Boy?! Nice try magpie-family!

And your big brother is so, so proud of you. And he is the best, best, BEST big bother (small letters) in the whole wide world.

Yesterday I got more evidence!

REAL evidence.

I actually got to see you in all your glory! And WHAT glory that is! And I learnt your name. The BEST name out there. Diana. I *love* it!

Welcome to the 'hood little shining angel Diana.

We have all been waiting for you!

Lots of love,
Le grá mór,
Twoja samozwańcza przybrana ciotka, Bríd
PS Please share this video with you beautiful mammy and your big tall gentle daddy, and remember Diana ("to shine") 
and Seraphin ("the fiery one" that I see has a loving gentle demeanor). And remember forever these lyrics from this amazing song by our national treasure, John Spillane: "...we were children, and our mothers were young, and fathers were tall and kind"!

PPS Did I mention that you are about 2 weeks old. Your mammy and daddy told me!

⭐ When a Star is Born 0002 🌠 aka Drogi Piękny Noworodku w Ramionach Mamusi

Dear/Drogi piękny noworodku w ramionach mamusi, You are only 3 days old. If even! And I *know* it's a bit early for giving you advice. You didn't even ask! And like I don't even think you can walk yet. But for posterity, and for down the line, and for your beautiful mammy and your tall, kind father, and your handsome and unique brother Seraphim (I KNOW that that is the most beautiful name I have ever heard in my life for a boy/man/male human), here you go: 1) Take off your sunglasses. (I am happy to report that neither of the above people ever wear any! Yayyy!) 2) Take off your shoes!!! 3) Walk around outside for 5 minutes 4) Take in the Vitamin D from the sun. Believe it or not Drogi piękny noworodku w ramionach mamusi, we can still benifit from the sun's bounty even through the dark, grey, Irish clouds. And most of all, "be yourself, no matter what they say!" And now, I wouldn't be me would I, if there weren't a song in my head which popped in while I was writing this. Yes, indeedio. Here it is: It was inspired by the name of your big brother. Don't forget Drogi piękny noworodku w ramionach mamusi, your big brother is the most inspirational and loving boy you will ever know. I *love* the way he helps Aindjriu to cut the grass and clean up the garden. But mostly I love hearing your ball bouncing on the concrete tiles. It makes me so happy that you are doing your own type of meditation by bouncing your ball at such an exact rythem. Maybe you'll be a drummer or a percussionist when you are bigger. Or maybe that will be another one of your hobbies. Here's your song Drogi piękny noworodku: *the piece at 12:53 reminds me of Laura Ingles running down that meadow... but I think your too young, and maybe too Polish, to understand that cultural reference... AND Very Importantly: And at 12:12 it starts to go a bit mad, so turn down the volume when it gets to that part, or just hit the "mute" button. Silence is golden an' all, innit? We don't want to be driving your mammy or daddy barmy! Do we? Lots of love from, Le grá mór,

⭐ When a Star is Born 0001 🌠

Dear Piękny noworodek w ramionach mamusi,
dziękuję za przybycie w tym czasie! I'm delighted! Beautiful new beginnings, and you are the bright new star to light up this neighbourhood, where "no one hardly dances" [John Spillane; Dance of the Cherry Trees]. Sweet dreams beautiful newborn baby. I'll leave you for now with this beautiful song from ArdRí na nÉin (the HighKing of the Birds), the man himself. PS I think maybe this is not your mammy or daddy's style of music, but hey, you are a human being all on to yourself. Fly high little one, and "be yourself, no matter what they say"!

Me want to feel Better like. Naturally! UPDATED on 5thMarch2024

I am no longer affiliated with the product mentioned below. I am removing the link. The information is still totally relevant. I appreciate fully the work of Jeremy Ayers. I do not resonate with his team. There are lots of doctors who are teaching for free, while also having paid memberships. Both are totally valid. You will find the right one for you! Trust & Believe.
Go GET your wings!
Le grá as Gaillimh,
Bríd Linnet
PS The testimonial below is testament to the Carnivore lifestyle in general.

+++Yer wan from that radio show be still knocking about and she just nabbed me blog. A-gain! Sigh. Asho.+++


"I said it before but I'll say it again", this sounds funking barmy. Eating fat to improve my health? Knock off!

But I've seen the results myself.

I used to slug back 2 litres of coc-ain-cola in one or two days, and I'd eat chocolate until it came out my ears. LOVE the stuff I do.


Then I stopped all that and "cleaned up" my act. I loved veg and fruit, and raw cacao in smoothies - so I'd have one of them a day to  make up for the chocolate and cokey tastes, thinking I was doing my body a favour.

Very soon after stopping eating white empty carbs I stopped having a feeling of depression in my body cells. That sounds weird, but that is what it had felt like. Lethargy of the cells.

So things were looking up.

Just by giving up the white plastic as I call it, that made a huge difference already. But then came the chronic pain and I was hardly able to walk for 8 months. I was going up the stairs on all fours.

So obviously I was on the lookout again for more information. For more education. 


Then I heard Jeremy Ayres talking one day on YouTube, and he mentioned the word "oxalate" in relation to food, and I had never heard of it before, and I was flabbergasted as I had done enough research into food, foods, foodstuffs, to give me 2 PhDs.

In anyway, Jeremy Ayres is an international natural health educator and his healing protocols "NATURALLY BETTER" combine the best of his Chiropractic, Osteopathy & Naturopathy skills and experience in helping 100s and thousands of people all over the world to heal themselves from every conceivable ailment you have ever heard of.

Jeremy's protocals teach us to remember to use mother earth's bounty - her sunshine, her grounding facilities and her recharging ions (just as we have to plug in a mobile phone when it's on 7%, we have to recharge our own bodies, and mother earth is equipped to absorb our negative charge and dissipate it, as well as giving us, in ONE FELL SWOOP, new positive energy).


This "new chance at life" as I call Jeremy Ayres' protocol, invites us to remember who and what we are, so in addition to what I already metioned above, it also reminds us of other brilliant and necessary things like the thing that singer talks about in that song that I'll link below, about it being "time for healing, not concealing, ... grieve (or is it breathe) in freedom, human beings something, something [meCyannae remember the lyrics now. Me had too much coffee this morning. #AndOtherStories
. [#BrainFog] (see the song linked below)" 


Jeremy's protocal invites us to think about not only what we put INTO our bodies, but what we are NOT PUTTING IN.

We are invited to choose between 4 different eating regimes (4) (F O U R).

{I am FIRMLY of the belief, contrary to the teachings of people I hold in HIGH esteem, that people can thrive on any of these 4 eating regimes [choose from 1) strict carnivore, 2) relaxed carnivore/keto/low carb, 3) vegetarian, 4) vegan] IF they are in the right (self-made) environment, free of those things that cause toxic reactions in their particular body, from beauty products to different types of "food", to smog from our computers and phones, and relationships with people/friends/family members which are not conducive to our nourishment and thriving as every plant and animal and human being is here to do.} 

#GetToTheFuckingPointBríd I hear my mum Caitlín [catch lean] saying. 😅

The point is, less than three weeks (3) (T H R E E) (W E E K S) after implementing SOME of the things on Jeremy Ayres' life-saving and life-emhancing CHOICE-CHANCE-TO-CHANGE-MY-LIFE, I was able to walk/run up a hill without even a limp in sight. 

A few weeks earlier I looked like I was 15 years older or more, and I was walking with a humped back. and as I said, I couldn't go up the stairs without going on all fours.

So dahs all me have to say for now about this. (she says)

Except here's the Naturally Better website (link at bottom) if you are interested in checking this out.

You'll see my own photograph 
which I took 2 weeks in to this life-changing experience amongst the testimonials on the homepage of Jeremy Ayres.

So it's THKU to Jeremy Ayres [and his beautiful and funny and loving team*] Updated on 5th March 2024 by me, Bríd Linnet. I am so happy that I heard about you that day in April 2022. Buíochas le Dia.

As my radio listeners know, I don't "do" labels or trade marks or products. For God's sake I was living in Galway city for 7 years before I found out where that big famous shop on the corner of Eyre Square going down towards Shop Street is [equivalent to Times Sqaure relative to NY city] (that used to be called one of the "Tods of Limerick etc." variety of a big posh store, but only for Galway).

Someone said to me "I'll meet you outside {that famous big shop}" and I said "What, there's a {that famous big shop} in Galway???".

Beautiful Bríd with her head in the clouds and in the birds and in people's eyes, and people's smiles, and in their songs & stories.
Everywhere but only not on banners or shop names.
