Choose a smile

It’s such a simple thing; a smile requires so little effort and creates such an impact. We have to choose to do it yet often we choose a response that results in confrontation or just dis-engagement. I remember when I was in my wheelchair and people would stare at me. It made me feel uncomfortableContinueContinue reading “Choose a smile”

Audrey’s Theme

Today’s blog was inspired by Audrey Birt.  Audrey shared her theme tune for the week on my last Monday blog, and it is wonderful   It reminded me of some of the choices I have made; to do it all – someday. This sentiment connected with me in a powerful way. It’s not about putting offContinueContinue reading “Audrey’s Theme”

Choose to dream

Many people are inspirational in the way they have the courage to stand by their dreams.  To choose to focus on a dream, a goal that seems huge to others, can be a lonely experience.  So often, those around you will not share the vision you have and cannot understand your commitment – your choiceContinueContinue reading “Choose to dream”

Choose your view

In Monday’s blog I suggested you choose your theme tune for the week – a piece of music that helps set your mood.  Today, I would like you to add something visual to the mix.  Choose an image that helps you focus on a dream or a goal, something that connects you with a choiceContinueContinue reading “Choose your view”

Choose to put your feet up

Sometimes we struggle on when it is not the right thing to do.  Sometimes we convince ourselves that we simply “can’t miss this appointment” or that “they’ll think less of me if I take a day off”.  Sound familiar?   And when we hear this little voice in our head, we make a choice; often theContinueContinue reading “Choose to put your feet up”

Choose Today

Choice can feel uncomfortable and challenging and we often choose to put off making difficult choices.  Too often people talk about regrets which are really choices they didn’t make.  As my husband celebrated his 45th birthday last week, we reflected on the lack of regret in our lives and how even the choices that hadContinueContinue reading “Choose Today”

Today I choose to be positive and up-beat.  Today I choose to see the best in everyone in my life and allow them their moment in the spotlight.  Today I choose to love my life and be grateful for every moment – even the difficult ones.  Today I make my own choices about my attitude,ContinueContinue reading “Today I choose to be….”

Choose to enjoy your four day week

We just had a lovely long weekend in the UK.  Fabulously relaxing and four days of time for ourselves.  Feeling refreshed?  This time, choose to continue with that feeling; rather than returning to work today and fretting about how much you now have to do in a four day week – enjoy it.  Allow allContinueContinue reading “Choose to enjoy your four day week”

My Hero of Choice

It is our 24th Wedding Anniversary today.  John is my Hero.  As we celebrate 24 years of marriage today, I am in awe of the choices we have taken  – together; the challenges we have risen to and the support we have been to each other.  HisContinueContinue reading “My Hero of Choice”

Choose less – enjoy more

I felt slighlty sick as I watched the trolleys in my local supermarket yesterday; had someone forgotten to tell me of some major crisis?  Had I missed my chance to supply my family by not grabbing every last morsel off the shelves?  Would we be destined to starve?  Luckily, it was simply the long weekendContinueContinue reading “Choose less – enjoy more”
