This Wednesday Wisdom post is in honour of the week-long deluge of torrential rain that has been battering my part of the world for the best part of a week. It feels like it might sometimes, doesn’t it?  Rain forever I mean.  And yet we all know, deep down inside ourselves somewhere, that eventually the sun will come out again. It […]

Earlier on this week I came across this article on Facebook.  Please read it – it’s important.  It’ll make you question what the hell is going on in this world that our children are growing up in. By the time I finished reading it I had gone through a kaleidoscope of different emotions and ended up feeling simultaneously shocked, […]

I’ve never been very good at making decisions.  Being both a thinker and a feeler in equal measure, I find it very difficult to know whether to follow my head or my heart. As a consequence I usually end up not making a choice at all and then being forced to go along with whatever someone else (or […]

Today (Friday 4th October) has been World Smile Day. Ordinarily, I would consider this to be a day to celebrate – after all, a smile can often be the difference that makes the difference in someone’s day. I’ll be honest with you though – I haven’t felt much like smiling today. This afternoon I attended another funeral – the second one I’ve been […]

These days, ‘being busy’ seems to be something to aspire to on a daily basis.  The trouble is, we’re so busy filling our time with being busy that we forget about the things that it’s actually important to be busy with – like our family & friends, our health and doing what we love. “I’m so sorry, […]

Fear is something that’s coming up a lot with my clients at the moment.  It seems to be a fundamental base to many issues that people come to see me for. Fear of letting go of things that have been part of their lives for a long time. Fear of letting themselves eat. Fear of making decisions […]

As Women’s Wellness Week draws to a close, here is my fifth and final tip on how to #bekindtoyou: Tip 5: Take 5 minutes… “I haven’t got time!” is something I hear people say a lot.  Personally I work very hard to not to say those words myself.  Mainly because I know that if it was important enough to […]

It’s day four of Women’s Wellness Week.  Here is today’s #bekindtoyou tip: Tip 4: Connect In order to do this one, you need to unplug and disconnect first.  Switch off the TV, unplug the games console, take out your earphones, close your laptop, put your smartphone on silent and hide it in a drawer, and tidy away the noisy electronic toys. […]

My third tip of the week as part of Women’s Wellness Week, encouraging everyone out there to #bekindtoyou… Tip 3: Have an early night A very wise man once said to me that “tiredness is a state of mind”.  I went away and thought about this for a while.  Once I’d processed it I realised that he […]

Women’s Wellness Week continues, so here is my second tip of the week to help you #bekindtoyou… Tip 2:  Wear whatever makes you feel good! Fashion is everywhere.  Magazines, TV, the office, the school gates, even the supermarket.  I’ve never considered myself to be particularly fashionable.  I’m a jeans-vest-top-cardi-and-boots kind of a woman.  For me, being […]
