Having reflected upon what I achieved during 2018, I decided to take some time to think about the year ahead – what changes did I want to make so that it would be an easier year for me? How could I do this while remaining successful and progressive in terms of development? My health and [...]
Photo by Simon Migaj from Pexels I hope you’ve had a fabulous festive season and wish you all the very best for 2019. May it be full of love and happiness, passion, purpose, and excitement too. Upon reflection, 2018 was an awesome year. Some of the highlights included: Receiving life lessons about boundaries [...]
As I’ve talked about in previous posts, I’ve galvanised myself back into running and have recently started attending my local Saturday morning Park Run. A couple of weeks ago, I arrived and bumped into Mari – someone I’ve got to know over the last few years, but only in a ‘hello, how are you?’ kind [...]
Wow! I’ve had a mad few weeks and have suddenly realised that my blogging has started to lag behind my social media posts. Crikey, there are SO many platforms to consider these days … I admit that I’m a work in progress on all this stuff. In fact, we are all a work in progress. [...]
Mindfulness is a word that is commonplace these days. It’s a term that, I like to believe, embodies and describes the way I’ve been living my life. And in more recent years, following my coach training, being more acutely aware of the impact that thoughts, words and actions have on those around us and, more [...]
I’ve just completed my very first Park Run at Rushcliffe Country Park in Nottinghamshire … and I’m buzzing! I’m not new to running; in fact, I used to run 5k on a regular basis, but due to injuries, and life in general, I stopped a few years ago. Then around 18 months ago, I joined [...]
I love music, and I also love peace and quiet. However, my music experience over the last few years has consisted of tuning into Radio 2 and occasionally Absolute 80s Radio – a somewhat limited choice! As a result, I’m not really in the loop when it comes to new music, the latest summer smash [...]
Here’s a thing – it’s a wet Sunday, following an incredibly gorgeous ‘Indian summer’ Saturday. I’m pleased to say that I embraced the warmth of the weather yesterday and managed to get a pair of curtains washed and dried, a bit of light gardening done, some socialising outdoors and I even pulled in a [...]
Yay! I’ve been for a run today. And it felt good! At this point, it’s still a ‘run-walk’ as I start to build my fitness levels back up. It’s the second time I’ve been out in the last 10 days. I would have done more, but I’ve had a mad busy few days that have [...]
Here’s a thing … you’ll probably not be surprised to hear that I have a love of our planet and all that lives upon it. And 99.9% of the time, I go out of my way to ensure I’m not hurting any living being intentionally. Well, except the one bluebottle that I swatted this year [...]
