  • Taking Time For Renewal and Connection

    Happy August beautiful! What wonderful plans do you have for this month? Are you off with the kids? Are you taking it easy? Are you having a bit of a pull-back from your dreams? I am…kinda. I always find that my energy is not really in ‘doing’ in August – it’s a big holiday month…

  • My Best Advice For Writing Your Book

    A friend asked me for advice about writing her book. This was it: Start writing. Keep writing. Stop when you’re finished. I know that sounds a little basic, but it’s the best advice I have for you. Start. You can’t write a book unless you start. So start. Don’t wait to be ready (you’re never…

  • Ride Out the Creative Turbulence

    Last week I was super excited – I had an epiphany from my “Fill What is Not Full” post – I realised this was the container for the book I’ve been mulling on for 8 years or so about self-care and other great foundations for a fabulous life. The excitement continued all week…with ideas raging…

  • Fill What is Not Full

    I’ve realised lately that I’ve been chronically depleted. The signs were there…tiredness, trouble sleeping, not wanting to start work on a Monday, not getting to do my creative work til late, feeling joyless and lacking in energy.

  • When the World is Rocking, Centre Yourself

    You may have heard (it’s been fairly big news) that here in the UK, we’ve voted to leave the EU. A seismic event. One that has caused much gnashing of teeth, rhetoric, ramble and bullshit (on all sides). Don’t worry, I’m not going to get into a political debate here. It’s not the place. But…

  • Is Your Inner Drill Sergeant or Your Inner Wise Self in Charge?

    Do you ever find yourself infighting within yourself between your Inner Drill Sergeant – go, go, do, do, get shit done, nose to the grindstone, sleeping’s cheating – and your inner wise self – connected, wise, loving, calm, peaceful.

  • Beach Card: Give and Receive

    I am busy beavering away finishing the Beach Cards Companion Ebook, ready for the Beach Cards Launch next month, so rather than frazzle myself out writing new articles every week (and taking my focus away from the finishing touches), I have decided for the next few weeks to share a few of the cards. This…
