Well, here’s an admission – despite being an upbeat and positive person most of the time, I do, on occasion, still get frustrated and fed up with the challenges that life throws at me. When this happens, I will allow myself – give myself permission, if you like – to have 24-48 hours to wallow in [...]
Just love doing my ‘Loose Lady’ stint on the Mark Dennison Show at BBC Radio Nottingham on a Friday morning. This is something I have been doing since early 2013 I think, although my first appearance on the show may have been at the end of 2012 – I really can’t remember, but I love [...]
What a fabulous man Dr David Hamilton is … swoon. He was brought to my attention a few years ago by a good friend of mine, a fellow coach, who has seen him talk many times in Solihull. She has always raved about his presence and his energy-aligned talks around kindness and health. Over the [...]
Wowzer! 15 Park Runs completed already. It’s amazing how the quickly they seem to clock up – which is great as I still have another 35 to go to reach my target of 50 during 2019. I’m hoping that it will be achievable although this month I will miss two due to other commitments. But [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
