It's time for Gareth's Monthly Missive! As always, a big thank you to him for his words. Do give Gareth Dawson - Writer & Poet a follow! Kate

"And just like that, it's August!

The band August Burns Red do a bit of merch that says "Angry Music for Happy People". As Metal Methodists I think we could well be described as happy people listening to angry music.

I hope the eighth month treats you well and features more blessings than challenges.

Be cool, be kind and be awesome. And as we say round here, be more vile!

Gareth"

It's time for the Monthly Missive from Gareth. You will never look at the 7th of July in the same way ever again! Thanks as always to Gareth Dawson - Writer & Poet for his words. Kate

"July always put me in mind of Iron Maiden, especially on the Seventh Day of the Seventh Month...

May your long days be full of good things, more blessings than trials, more sunny moments than washouts and some most excellent riffs!

Our mostly black wardrobes might not be the best for temperature control but we'll melt stylishly, looking as metal as you can holding an ice cream.

Be cool, be kind and be awesome. Gareth"

It's always great to get a post from Gareth Dawson - Writer & Poet! Take a pause today and reflect on Gareth's words for the month of May. Kate

"Wahey! It's May! With its two bank holiday Mondays, it's a month that can be good for morale if nothing else.

In this spring month, I hope you feel a sense of renewal and revival both physically and spiritually. May the simple things give you a lift and inspire some springtime happiness, despite the world's forcing nature. May peace reign in you and, one day, the world too.

Be cool, be kind and be awesome. Gareth"

I'm beavering away on a collection of poetry that I will hopefully publish later this year.

I'm slow I know but hopefully you'll think the wait to be worth it.

It's time for Gareth's on this first Monday in March! (Try saying that quickly if you're having an afternoon-slump...)

Thanks as always to Gareth Dawson - Writer & Poet for his words. Kate


"March begins, Lent is in full swing, and the light is returning to the days. In this time of Lent, I hope you're able to make that space, to strip back some of the complexity of day to day life, and draw closer to the divine simplicity.

May you be love, give love and receive love in abundance and be blessed with a sense of stillness and peace.

Be cool, be kind and be awesome. Gareth"

A bit of random daftness......

It's pancake day,
Or Shrove Tuesday, if you prefer.
May your chosen toppings be delicious,
and your ceiling pancake free.
Pancake day, when it's acceptable to be a kind of tosser.

Take a break this with some words of wisdom from Gareth Dawson - Writer & Poet! Thanks to Gareth as always for his post. Kate

"It's mid January, and the year has got off to a start that's for sure. Good? Bad? I suppose that's a matter of perspective and circumstance.

I hope the start of your year has been a smooth and blessed one. If it's been a rough one then I hope you know the presence of the divine in your struggles and that things improve soon. The world's a worrying place at the moment. I hope you find hope and peace in faith, and courage to be kind and do the right thing where you can.

Be cool, be kind and be awesome. Gareth."

As I've been working Metal Methodist for a while now this might not be a surprise but.....
So my own personal spiritual path has wound its way back to Methodism. Full circle seeing as it's where this all started at Sunday school. Happened over a year ago but wanted to see how it went before posting about it.
It is something that is coming through a lot in my poetry so at some point you might see it and I didn't want anyone thinking I was writing about something that I didn't believe in, if you know what I mean.
I know I haven't post much poetry on here but there is plenty coming in one form or another and I wanted to be honest and upfront about it now.
Especially as some of you got to know me during my more pagan days 😊

As 2025 draws to a close I would like to wish you all a happy New year's eve and a healthy and happy 2026.

Thank you to everyone who picked up a copy of my debut book, I never imagined it would sell the number that it did and your support means a lot.

There will be more from me in print in 2026 if all goes to plan.

Be cool, be kind and be awesome.
