  • What do you do when you don’t know what you need

    In the Fall in Love With Life group, this month’s daily practice has been body, mind, heart and soul self-care. This week, one of the members of the group asked this question – “What do you do when you don’t know what you need? When you feel totally lost?” I know she is not alone…

  • When it’s not working, maybe there’s a better way

    Last week I had a very bad writing day…one of those days where everything seemed to go wrong, where ‘writing’ looked a lot more like ‘procrastination’, where I battled the thought ‘this is terrible’ all day long. Here’s the thing: I know the book idea isn’t terrible. This is the book subject I’ve been talking…

  • Don’t Rush The River

    I’ve had a weird year energetically. Everytime I want to be flying forwards with a project, something slows it down. Whether it’s proof copies of books getting lost in the post and delaying book 2 release day by 2 months, or hot weather making me disinclined to create and crack on with writing book 3.…

  • Get Rid of Botherations

    Let’s talk botherations – things that bother you. I first learnt this concept from a coach about 15 years ago…he called them ‘tolerations’, but that word always bothered me! And I’ve been trying to find a better (to me) way to say it since then. In a session with a client last week, I finally…

  • Is 2018 on course?

    Half the year is gone already…can you believe it?! Yeah, sorry to remind you. Don’t worry, I’m not going to ask you to do a half-year appraisal. I thought about it though (and if you do, make it a self-loving one that looks at what you have done right and enjoyed and been on track…

  • Do you Disconnect when you’re Busy?

    When you’re busy, do you lose touch? Do you disconnect? I do. I realised this week that thanks to the busyness of the book launch followed by a tech issue that’s been driving me crazy and taking way too much of my time, I’d disconnected from my centre and from the Divine entirely. Meditation had…

  • When was the last time you said “well done” to yourself?

    When was the last time you gave yourself a big pat on the back? When was the last time you acknowledged all the good things you’ve done lately? When was the last time you gave yourself some kudos and appreciation and said “well done” to yourself? Let me change up the question. When was the…

  • Release date for Obstacle Busting Paperback

    WOOHOO!!!! We have a release date for Obstacle Busting Paperback It is…drum roll please…1st June You’ll have to forgive my excitement…it’s been SO DAMN LONG. I ‘finished’ the paperback way back at the start of March, but thanks to a series of delays (including the final proof copy getting lost in the post!), I’ve only…

  • Reflections on Joy Challenge

    Joy challenge 2018 is over. 🙁 If you don’t know about Joy Challenge, it’s run by a lovely lady called Amina Makhdoom Lynch every April (this was year 3 and my 2nd Joy Challenge). As the name suggests, it’s a challenge to bring more joy into your life throughout the month of April. It’s wonderful…

  • Does self-care give you the guilts?

    I’ve had several conversations over the past few weeks with clients, with friends, and with people in my Fall in Love With Life Group where the subject of guilt has come up with regard to self-care. “I feel guilty if I sit down” “When I try to take care of me I feel like I…
