I get it that when I was growing up in the 70’s our environment or society was very different to what it looks like nowadays – Having to make plans in advance, because there were no mobile phones if you were late, you were late, people left without ya. Having a house phone but […]

Waiting for the shitstorm to pass
Had a lovely, relaxing and chilled weekend and wasn’t it? so much for the friggin weather forecast? Clear and dry? My arse, Nah, it wa frigging raining, sleeting and Baltic. The best part of my whole weekend was catching up with friends and loved ones, I spent a rare night in with the youngest Friday […]
Have an amazing weekend
After a week of highs and lows, more highs to be fair the best parts have been being surrounded by some good friends, amazing work colleagues and a little bit of recognition and laughter sprinkled on top and all of this was absolutely FREE, didn’t cost a bleeding thing apart from a little mindfulness […]
Whats your go to song?
I’m sharing this today as a reminder that even if life is shit there ARE some things that can help ease the pain, find out what yours is and do more of it, for me it can be as simple as a song. Every morning, during me #havingawordwimesen sessions, as well as thinking through challenges, […]
Are you a YES or NO person?
For years and years I was forever “people pleasing” always the “yes” person not wanting to upset other people, not wanting to see others unhappy, thinking that if I did or said X, Y or Z they would feel better, in turn, this would give me a sense of achievement, proud, happy that I […]
Who’s pulling your strings?
That word I had wi me sen yesterday worked wonders, and it reminds me that just taking a little time out of my day, enables ‘me’ to take a step back, reflect (only for a little) on the previous day, on the day ahead, contemplate what’s in store, check in on any anxieties that […]

I’m not searching for perfection, just a better version of me
And neither are you! Its been a good weekend so far, despite still feeling a little under the weather, I have made sure I have put myself first. I have indulged in some quality time with the grandson, making memories. I have written a fair bit in the book, reflecting on times in my past […]
The seasons may change, but life is still the same
I’m not going to lie, these dark nights and dark mornings have been fucking with my mojo of late. Waking to sunlight, put a spring in my step, but during the winter, it can be like someone has nicked the step and I wake up feeling like I have fell flat on my face. I […]
Fake it till ya make it
I have invested in one of those alarm clocks that apparently slowing wake you up, mimicking the morning by bringing half an hours fake sunlight into the room before the alarm pipes up. My rationale is, that this time, 3 months ago, during the summer months, this time in the morning (7.20am) I would have […]
