Trepidatious Booksteps

June 30, 2015January 4, 2018 / Holly / 1 Comment

***** When you have a huge story inside of you, waiting for its natural time to be carefully birthed, and then discover in a moment that part of your story has been written about and published by someone else ... I am feeling rather peculiar today, and am not at all sure how to process … Continue reading Trepidatious Booksteps

She Let Go – A Poem by Safire Rose

June 17, 2015January 26, 2019 / Holly / 3 Comments

  In the past few weeks, I have seen several writings and little signs about the importance of letting go. For many of us, this is incredibly hard to do but, when things build up to a crescendo, we realise that we really have to release what is holding us back from peace. I have had my … Continue reading She Let Go – A Poem by Safire Rose

Keep Refocusing Onto Positive

June 8, 2015June 8, 2015 / Holly / Leave a comment

Keep refocusing onto positive. There will always be something negative trying to push its way in ... Simply change mental gears, refocus, and resolutely turn attention to all that’s positive instead. Holly x

A Non-Apologetic Note On Alcohol

June 7, 2015February 14, 2016 / Holly / Leave a comment

Sometimes I feel that we give too little consideration to our effect on others, when we make life choices that we think are perfectly harmless, to ourselves and to others. This is one such example, which I am excrutiatingly aware of, hence the strong tone of these words ... ***** If you had an Alcoholic in … Continue reading A Non-Apologetic Note On Alcohol

When Bees Are Safer, We Shall Be Safer Too

June 6, 2015January 4, 2018 / Holly / Leave a comment

Below is a combined version of a couple of notes which I wrote about our environment in mid 2013, still sadly and incredibly relevant ... Although great strides have been made, and it looks as though possibly the tide is slowly turning at last, there is much work to be done. We must listen to the signs that the … Continue reading When Bees Are Safer, We Shall Be Safer Too

About the Author

Holly

Holly

Drawing on personal experience of life lived on three continents thus far, I write on how to live life excellently. My writing addresses leadership and life principles, incorporating fundamental values, mindfulness, faith and spirituality. Subjects covered are wide ranging ~ from autobiography to the business of life in general; from raising young people to the brain, health and wellbeing; from natural lifestyle choices to matters of heart, home and environment. Sustainability in real terms is always at the core of my approach. My passion is for positive outcomes in all areas of life, with firm foundations, boundaries and respect being paramount elements of success. I am intentional about living a life based on love and an awareness of the connectedness of all things. Our actions have results and we are each responsible for the fruit of our lives. It is my hope that my writing will empower others to live their own best lives, with courage, integrity and love at the core of all that we think, do and create. ♥
