Today I decided to be ruthless – and my goodness it felt good! My pants drawer is always stuffed – you know – you have to squash things down to push it shut…  So what are all these pants – and how many of them do I actually wear? There are the ones I saw one of my daughters wearing […]

I am away – staying at my mother’s – as I do every other week. I have forgotten to bring my A4 diary – every page dominated by a new “To Do” list… This has never happened…ever…before… I always bring a diary and a notebook – so that I can plan, remember and record things I need to do, things […]

After discovering the freedom of “Stop it!”  I have had enough space to notice something else… When I think,  I mostly do it in the form of a sort of conversation – with the perfect friend – a friend who listens attentively, finds everything I have to say riveting and never needs to talk about themselves – just loves hearing […]

Brandon Bays talks about the mind always needing to work on something, “Give it a job” she says… Michael Neill tells me that The Three Principles explain how our entire experience is constructed of thought – and thus, “The worst thing that can ever happen to you is a thought”… Yesterday, whilst trying to sow grass seed I seem to […]

I haven’t posted for ages and several people have noticed – which is nice… so I am pushing myself to get back into the swing : ) Yesterday someone said to me, “I used to be really anxious and depressed when I was younger – but now I see that as just a phase – it’s not who I am […]

On the front of a notebook I use daily,  I wrote the words – well over a year ago – “Trust the process…”  I wrote them to help me remember the profound wisdom of these words – and the comfort they bring to me when I remember them – and reconnect with their truth… This week has felt tough… I’m […]

I am having a wonderful time – and it is very simple – I am “noticing”… And what I see so warms my heart that I have – pretty much – an internal smile happening inside all the time 🙂 In the wake of my brother’s death I seem to have given up fixing my world… I have given up […]

It has occured to me today that there is a theme of kindness running through my life… This time last year I was very busy with a successful business and close family. Since then I have been “fleeced” by a PR company; had to take time off work to look after my parents; had my own health challenges that mean […]

Yesterday while staying with my parents I watched the last 20 minutes of the film of Alan Bennett’s play “The History Boys” – and there was one line which had me searching for pen and paper to jot it down… At the end,  each of main characters speak about how they are 20 years into the future, and one of […]

This morning while chewing over how many thousands of pounds I’ve spent over the years training, going on courses and workshops … it occurred to me that maybe what it all boils down to is being “clean”… I was trying to make sense of how – when I don’t think about money – then I spend loads (often putting myself […]
