We seek calmness and the wisdom to be found there by building and painting a soul map back to our unconscious mind or soul. We seek to show others how to do it. The Your Soul Family (YSF) logo represents transformation and learning.
A soul map is a geometric picture that represents you and the key people in your life along with the relationships you have and the key life lessons you may be learning.

We’re so used to racing from the moment our feet hit the floor that a slow morning can feel indulgent – even impossible. But here’s the truth:
Slowing down, even once a week, can set the tone for everything that follows
Why slow mornings matter
A slow morning is more than a luxury. It’s a chance to check in with yourself before the world starts demanding your attention. When we give ourselves that breathing space, our nervous system calms, our mind clears, and we approach the day from a place of intention rather than reaction.
Simple ways to create your slow morning
When I first moved to south-west France, I was struck by how much more vigorous and colourful the vegetation was compared to the UK. As we settled into village life, we were kindly invited to dinner by a neighbour. I had noticed their garden was very practical, with a large vegetable plot. Ours, by contrast, was filled with flowers – and my beloved herb garden, of course. Much of the credit goes to the previous owner, who was clearly a passionate gardener.
Wanting to offer something thoughtful, I picked a bunch of bright yellow flowers from the patch outside my kitchen window – flowers I had enjoyed looking at daily. I thought my new friend might appreciate them too.
They were received graciously and placed in a vase in a prominent spot. We had a lovely evening.
But when we got home, my husband turned to me and asked gently,
“Did you realise you gave them a bunch of weeds?”
I was mortified.
Had I embarrassed us? Did they think I was ignorant – or worse, rude? It felt like such a shame at the start of a new friendship, especially when we knew no one.
But then something shifted.
It made me ask:
Who decides if a plant is a weed or a flower?
To me, if it’s colourful, joyful to look at, and loved by bees – why not call it a garden plant? Who says it doesn’t belong?
To this day, our lawn is a wild mix of field grass, clover, and weeds. Right now, the dandelions are in full bloom. Here’s a photo – what do you think?
Is it beautiful or unwanted?
This simple garden moment speaks to something larger.
Who decides if a person is good or bad? What if someone has been judged – by culture, by appearance, by past mistakes? Are they really “weeds”? Or might they bring beauty, healing, or joy in their own way?
For me, I choose to judge both plants and people on how they make me feel.
✨ Do they bring joy?
✨ Do I feel safe and seen in their presence?
✨ Do they live without harming others?
That, to me, is enough.
What are your values? How do you decide what belongs in your life – and what doesn’t?
