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.

According to whom?
I watch with my head in my hands when the adverts come on the television. The cause of this despair is quite simple really, it’s the idea that women are failing if they don’t “match up” to the perfection that is personified in stick-thin, teen-age models with “perfect” lifestyles and the skin, hair and figureContinue reading “According to whom?”

At any given moment – you can make the choice

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”

I can empathise with this position, with this choice. I remember times when I’ve felt that everything was simply too muchContinue reading “It’s not always easy to choose”
Choose to be enough
Choosing to accept that YOU are enough is one of the most liberating, exciting and powerful choices you will ever make. It took me almost 40 years to make this choice and when I did, I had a sense of calm I had never experienced before. The time and energy I’d been spending on livingContinue reading “Choose to be enough”

Choosing to think positively is not going to make all your problems disappear overnight; however, it is going to make a huge, positive difference to how you deal with, challenge, accept or fight these challenges and, as a result and with persistence, a more positive outcome. Positive thinking is a choice and it canContinue reading “Choose positive thinking”
