A few years ago, I had a series of heart attacks. From out of nowhere they stopped me in my tracks and made me reconsider everything about my life. You could say they were a major crossroads; I’ve spent a great deal of time since focussed on “letting go” of the feelings I was leftContinue reading “Letting go of letting-go!”

Are you celebrating your successes?
Are you celebrating your successes? In the current financial climate, there is so much negative talk and focus that it is easy to lose sight of our achievements. The successes we have on a daily basis that should be noted and celebrated. Yet these get lost in the noise and overlooked; taking with themContinue reading “Are you celebrating your successes?”
Croeso i Myddfai
can it really be three months since we arrived In Myddfai, in our little piece of Welsh heaven? The time here seems to work on a different schedule at a slower less stressful pace. There are days when it’s suddenly ten o’clock and all I’ve done is feed the birds. It’s wonderful. it is alsoContinue reading “Croeso i Myddfai”
A dirty weekend…
When your husband asks you if you’re “up for a dirty weekend in the woods” it doesn’t take long to feel young and excited again (and rather bloody daring too). At our age, with my health considerations, the idea of camping-out under the stars in a woodland with no traffic or airplane noise is aboutContinue reading “A dirty weekend…”
Choose to let yourself shine
Isn’t it a wonderful picture? Yes – it’s me. I have never felt this way about a picture of myself before. It was quite unexpected; I’m choosing to let myself shine and enjoying it! The photograph was taken by the very talented @aminart – someone I met through Twitter, who brightened my timeline with hisContinue reading “Choose to let yourself shine”
At any given moment – you can make the choice
I’ve always loved this quote. “At any given moment, you have the power to say ‘this is not how the story is going to end’”. It’s tough to see it sometimes, when you’re so deep into your own issues, your own problems and head-talk. It can be easier to say “there’s nothing I canContinue reading “At any given moment – you can make the choice”
Give the gift of saying “Thank You”
“Really? What this old thing?” “You’re joking, this makes my bum look enormous!” “That’s sweet of you to say; when did you last get your eyes tested?”…… Sound familiar? What is it that makes it so hard to accept a compliment at face-value and respond with “Thank you”? What is the force that prevents soContinue reading “Give the gift of saying “Thank You””
You are allowed to be you
I loved Toyah as a teenager; I still do. Her hair (of course) and make-up, but also her power, her self-confidence, her rebel-quality. I looked up to her and emulated her style with more and more outrageous hair-cuts and colours that resulted in the inevitable suspensions from my posh school for young-ladies. Result! Toyah showedContinue reading “You are allowed to be you”
Time to review…
As we approach the end of 2012, it’s a great time to take a life review; I like to think of this process as a “Life RevYou” it’s not about goals you set and whether you’ve achieved them, or berating yourself for the things you didn’t get done. A Life RevYOU is about YOU. HowContinue reading “Time to review…”
Choose a new string for your bow
Over the weekend, I went to a local club and tried my first attempt with a bow and arrow. I’ve always loved the idea of archery, a sport strongly connected with the earth and our heritage. It’s always struck me as romantic in some way. I’ve also always held the belief that I would neverContinue reading “Choose a new string for your bow”
