What We Work And Fight For
The thing that you work and fight the hardest for, is the thing that will bring greatest satisfaction, and be appreciated the most, when breakthrough comes. Nothing truly worth having ever came easily, at least not without great moves of the ground beneath first ... Grace is what gets us there ...

Beam On
Last week, preparing to travel to Edinburgh in the snow, one of my children said to me "Mummy, you are beautiful, and you are brave". I was overwhelmed with an emotion I do not know how to express. I only share this because, if life isn't tough at times, we don't grow. If life … Continue reading Beam On
A Study On Flow
Several quotes and other writings that I have seen over the past week have prompted me to write a piece on the subject of flow in our lives.

Only problem is, when you open your eyes again, the piles are still there ... and then you pick up … Continue reading A Little Note Of Encouragement
Super Moon Insight
Earlier this week, I woke to see the most magnificent moon staring in at me through the window. It was pitch dark outside otherwise. I opened the window, feeling the icy chill enter the room, and stuck my arm out to try and capture the moment. Little else was visible beyond the silhouettes of … Continue reading Super Moon Insight
A Mindful Advent 2017
I sat down to write a little message, which was simply going to say what I had posted on my Instagram account yesterday, 1st December 2017: Wishing everyone a very happy Advent season and then it seemed to me that more needed to be written besides these few words. I became mindful that so many … Continue reading A Mindful Advent 2017
