A great opportunity awaits - a brilliant team and a great course x

It’s only just over a year without my dad, and today I found something that stopped me in my tracks.

Tucked away in a cupboard, whilst rummaging for something else, were these sky-high, pirate-meets-flower-meets-spotty platform boots Dad once bought me for Christmas. They were bold. Bizarre. Utterly unforgettable. And so him.

He wasn’t one for buying gifts himself in fact, he would ask mum, he rarely bought presents at all. But one year, he’d gone out, on his own, and picked these out. I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at the time I opened them. I wasn’t even sure if it was a joke, as Dad had a unique sense of humour. But I kept them. And today, I’m so glad I did.

Because now I see them for what they really were: love, disguised in fabric and sole. A reminder that even if words didn’t come easily, the gesture said it all.

Today, for those of us who find ourselves in the club , a close friend shared her experience about it once I had become a member, the one you only realise exists when you lose a parent — I’m thinking of you.

You notice it in the quieter things: the flowers being placed at gravesides, the scroll past smiling cards and pub lunches on your feed, the ache of missing someone who isn’t here.

If this day feels heavy, strange, or quietly sad — you’re not alone.

And if you’ve got something stashed away a pair of sky scraper boots, a letter, a look, a memory that reminds you you were loved, even in an unconventional way… I hope it finds you today, too. Sometimes it’s the little things in life that turn out to be the big things. 💕

Here’s to the ones who said it without saying it.

Happy National Bee Day!

I hadn’t realised it was Bee Day today whilst delivering for the lovely people of Cumbria. We were actually chatting about our fuzzy pollinator friends.

Did you know that while research is still emerging, scientists are beginning to link things like electromagnetic fields (from mobile masts,mobile phones and tech ) with changes in bee behaviour and insect populations?

It’s not the only factor habitat loss, pesticides, and climate change are all buzzing around in the mix too – but it reminds us just how delicate our ecosystem really is.

The good news? We can all help:

• Plant bee-friendly flowers (lavender, borage, foxgloves and wildflowers are favourites!)
• Avoid pesticides in your garden
• Create safe, pollinator-friendly spaces – even a windowsill helps
• If you keep hives, consider distance from heavy EMF sources

Every bloom we plant and every buzz we protect makes a difference.
Let’s help the bees keep doing what they do best – pollinating life itself.

WOW. What a journey. What a community. What an impact. 💕

Strong Women, Big Hearts, and a Sea Full of Pink Hats & Love Saltburn by the Sea . 💕 🌊 💕

Today , on International Women's Day an incredible group of strong women came together, some I hadn’t seen in years, family & friends who drove for 4 hours to be there, and a whole community of supporters, to take a sea dip in memory of Becky. First time dippers and eperienced mermaids from ages 9 to 71 years old took the plunge.

We celebrated her life, her strength, and her legacy by raising money to protect others helping Refuge to continue their fantastic work.

From familiar faces to strangers passing by, some who shared their stories with us. We had the warmest welcome in Saltburn and even received donations to our JustGiving page from people who saw us brave the waves, and took time to find us on line. We had more dogs than Crufts coming to say hello, children dropping by for a balloon and a cake and the energy was pure love and solidarity.

To those who braved the sea for the first time and had the courage to join us. This was about more than fundraising,it was about standing together, lifting each other up and setting her free in the ocean.

Becky’s unicorn spirit was with us in every wave and her voice was well and truly heard.

A huge thank you to everyone who supported, helped decorate Jessica Beach Hut ,dipped, donated, made bunting until midnight, shared our posts, or simply cheered us on. I am both grateful & overwhelmed, my heart is truly full.

Becky would have loved today, life is precious, please remember to appreciate every moment with those you love..Becky would have loved today and from the size of the waves, she was definitely with us. I am doing the sums now and waiting for a few last minute donations. I think together we will have raised just over 1.5 k 🦄.
Thank you 💘

You may have seen my fundraising post we are doing in memory of my little sister Becky. A cold dip in the cold North Sea. A special place for us was Becky’s last holiday with us and her boys, a time when she was doing well and she was happy and free. Sadly there's no happy ending for Becky. Which is why we are coming together, to create a legacy to help others.

I thought I had created a Refuge JustGiving funding page, but it was a Facebook platform.

Those not on social media couldn't donate. I have set up a Just Giving page today to make it easy for everyone. I will join the amounts together and thought it may help those who would like to join us find raise themselves.

Saturday 8 Th March 2025 - Saltburn on Sea 11 am by Jessica Orange 🍊 Beach Hut.

If you can join us that's great, bring a mug & a chair and a cozzie. If you would like to donate anything you can afford will help us to raise funds for Refuge to keep doing their amazing work to change lives.

Thank you for reading.
We are almost up to a thousand pounds, that's just brilliant please share and share again.
Lots of love 💕 https://www.justgiving.com/page/898?utm_medium=FR&utm_source=CL

I do love this guy, so simple yet something we often forget. Whilst ever we blame circumstances outside of us, people, places & things we are powerless. Stuck, convincing ourselves that it’s not our doing .
What if the change you’re waiting for starts with YOU ?
We can’t control how others act, but we can control how we respond. When we shift our mindset, regulate our emotion’s and show up differently, the world responds .
Break the cycle 🔄 one breath at a time.
Breath work is a great tool and I’ll select a few this week and post them.
Cold water and ice baths are brilliant, but let’s start with some techniques to help support you this week.
🧠 If anyone has anything particular they would like me to cover let me know.
My first thoughts were -

🧠 breathing through challenges
🧠 motivation
🧠 balance

We spend so much time trying to fix things out there, when the real change happens inside. Breathe deep. Go within. Shift your perspective. And suddenly… everything feels different. That’s real power. 💪❄️
