Good Morning!

I hope you are well this wintry morning. I seen this photo on my travels and just wanted to share with you today.

Every decision you have ever made has brought you to where you are in your life today. Take a moment and re-read that sentence for a minute to let that sink in and show you the power you have over your own life. You life is literally the sum total of all of your choices up until now.

You may be winning in certain areas of life and you may be struggling in others but know that the power for the change you are looking for in your life lies within your hands and that power comes from the daily choices you make.

If you don’t like a particular area of your life or it’s not where you want it to be, step back for a moment and really imagine how you would like it to be instead. Then once you have painted that picture for yourself, take action to implement those much needed changes. One step at a time. One day at a time. But take the first step!

If you need help or guidance to take that first step get in touch today and we can set up a time to talk it through and start today to set your life in the direction you really want it to be heading.

The power for change is in your hands.

Love & Light

Good morning!

As the bells chime at midnight on what has been another challenging year, take stock, congratulate yourself and see how far you have actually come this year despite everything that you have already been through.

Celebrate your amazing self getting through this year to this point. Yes it’s been tough at times. But at times it’s also been beautiful and you made that happen with the choices you made throughout your year.

As the bells chime tonight my wish for you is to be proud of who you are. Be proud of how far you have come and defo be super proud of what direction your are headed in next.

2022 could be the year we have all been wishing and hoping for.

See you on the other side 🥳

Love & Light,

Good morning!

I hope you and your family were able to spend some much needed time together over the festivities. I seen this on my friends page and just wanted to share this image with you as it speaks so much to me right now.

I don’t know about you, but my December was spent rushing from one place to the next trying to get all things done in time for Santa coming and then just like that, the day was done and we are into the 28th already 🤪 since Christmas Day I have tried to spend my time wisely doing exactly what is being done in the photo I share with you today. HIBERNATING. And I am cherishing every second of it.

If you are able to, now is the time to stop, regroup, refuel and reflect on our year that has been and gone. It’s been another tough one for so many and not as we would have imagined I’m sure, but I do hope you have had some amazing memories in there too with you and yours.

It won’t be long until the festive week comes to a close in a couple of days and we will be back busy, making our plans for the coming New Year ahead. But until then, if you can, stop and enjoy your hibernation.

It will be the best way to set you up for an amazing start to your New Year ahead.

Love & Light

Good Morning!

Some very wise words from Sir Anthony Hopkins……..

Are the people you’re spending most of your time with worth your time? You have limited amount of time and energy to share with the world and how we spend our daily lives add up to this thing we call “our life”

Make sure to share it with the ones who are worthy of it and deserve your time and energy.

Live the life you love. Love the life you live.

Love & Light

Andrene 💛

“Let go the people who are not prepared to love you. This is the hardest thing you will have to do in your life and it will also be the most important thing. Stop having hard conversations with people who don't want change.

Stop showing up for people who have no interest in your presence. I know your instinct is to do everything to earn the appreciation of those around you, but it's a boost that steals your time, energy, mental and physical health.

When you begin to fight for a life with joy, interest and commitment, not everyone will be ready to follow you in this place. This doesn't mean you need to change what you are, it means you should let go of the people who aren't ready to accompany you.

If you are excluded, insulted, forgotten or ignored by the people you give your time to, you don't do yourself a favor by continuing to offer your energy and your life. The truth is that you are not for everyone and not everyone is for you.

That's what makes it so special when you meet people who reciprocate love. You will know how precious you are.

The more time you spend trying to make yourself loved by someone who is unable to, the more time you waste depriving yourself of the possibility of this connection to someone else.

There are billions of people on this planet and many of them will meet with you at your level of interest and commitment.

The more you stay involved with people who use you as a pillow, a background option or a therapist for emotional healing, the longer you stay away from the community you want.

Maybe if you stop showing up, you won't be wanted. Maybe if you stop trying, the relationship will end. Maybe if you stop texting your phone will stay dark for weeks. That doesn't mean you ruined the relationship, it means the only thing holding it back was the energy that only you gave to keep it. This is not love, it's attachment. It's wanting to give a chance to those who don't deserve it. You deserve so much, there are people who should not be in your life.

The most valuable thing you have in your life is your time and energy, and both are limited. When you give your time and energy, it will define your existence.

When you realize this, you begin to understand why you are so anxious when you spend time with people, in activities, places or situations that don't suit you and shouldn't be around you, your energy is stolen.

You will begin to realize that the most important thing you can do for yourself and for everyone around you is to protect your energy more fiercely than anything else. Make your life a safe haven, in which only ′′compatible′′ people are allowed.

You are not responsible for saving anyone. You are not responsible for convincing them to improve. It's not your work to exist for people and give your life to them! If you feel bad, if you feel compelled, you will be the root of all your problems, fearing that they will not return the favours you have granted. It's your only obligation to realize that you are the love of your destiny and accept the love you deserve.

Decide that you deserve true friendship, commitment, true and complete love with healthy and prosperous people. Then wait and see how much everything begins to change. Don't waste time with people who are not worth it. Change will give you the love, the esteem, happiness and the protection you deserve."

Love Mr Hopkins 💚

Good Morning!

I seen this on a friends page and just had to share with you. The light shines in the darkness and the darkness can never extinguish it but the darkness must be present in order for the light to shine so brightly.

Be the light in a very dark world right now.

Love & Light

Andrene 💛

A SPIRITUAL CONSPIRACY~~
On the surface of the world right now there is
war and violence and things seem dark.
But calmly and quietly, at the same time,
something else is happening underground
An inner revolution is taking place
and certain individuals are being called to a higher light.
It is a silent revolution.
From the inside out. From the ground up.
This is a Global operation.
A Spiritual Conspiracy.
There are sleeper cells in every nation on the planet.
You wont see us on the T.V.
You wont read about us in the newspaper
You wont hear about us on the radio
We don't seek any glory
We don't wear any uniform
We come in all shapes and sizes, colors and styles
Most of us work anonymously
We are quietly working behind the scenes
in every country and culture of the world
Cities big and small, mountains and valleys,
in farms and villages, tribes and remote islands
You could pass by one of us on the street
and not even notice
We go undercover
We remain behind the scenes
It is of no concern to us who takes the final credit
But simply that the work gets done
Occasionally we spot each other in the street
We give a quiet nod and continue on our way
During the day many of us pretend we have normal jobs
But behind the false storefront at night
is where the real work takes a place
Some call us the Conscious Army
We are slowly creating a new world
with the power of our minds and hearts
We follow, with passion and joy
Our orders come from the Central Spiritual Intelligence
We are dropping soft, secret love bombs when no one is looking
Poems ~ Hugs ~ Music ~ Photography ~ Movies ~ Kind words ~
Smiles ~ Meditation and prayer ~ Dance ~ Social activism ~ Websites
Blogs ~ Random acts of kindness...
Releasing grudges, letting go of judgments..
We each express ourselves in our own unique ways
with our own unique gifts and talents
Be the change you want to see in the world
That is the motto that fills our hearts
We know it is the only way real transformation takes place
We know that quietly and humbly we have the
power of all the oceans combined
Our work is slow and meticulous
Like the formation of mountains
It is not even visible at first glance
And yet with it entire tectonic plates
shall be moved in the centuries to come
Love is the new religion of the 21st century
You don't have to be a highly educated person
Or have any exceptional knowledge to understand it
It comes from the intelligence of the heart
Embedded in the timeless evolutionary pulse of all human beings
Be the change you want to see in the world
Nobody else can do it for you
We are now recruiting
Perhaps you will join us
Or already have.
All are welcome
The door is open.~

Good morning!

I hope you are all well this stormy morning. I seen this on a friends page and just had to share with you.

Keep your friends close to you.

They will be the people who help you find the way when you have forgotten where it is you’re going again.

They will be the ones who remind you of the song of your heart when you have forgotten your own words.

Keep them close.

Love & Light

Andrene 💛

THAT’S FRIENDSHIP

Be there for the messy parts of someone’s life.

Don’t be afraid of the ugly

Hold someone’s hand when no one else can,
Or will.

Pull them to stand.

Be there for the dark moments and then enjoy the light together.

Don’t take a seat at a celebratory table, if you you won’t be there to collect the shattered pieces when that same world falls apart.

That’s friendship.

It’s easy to get an invite to someone’s pretty, someone’s celebration, but if you get invited to someone’s raw and real.

Show up,
you have been blessed.

Good Morning!

I hope you are all well this lovely Saturday and ready for a fun filled weekend ahead. I seen this on my friends page and just felt I had to share with you today.

Life passes by in a blink of an eye, especially this last year where we have had no real opportunities to celebrate those milestones together as we usually would.

So to all my friends who I have missed dearly this year and last (you know who you are). I can’t wait for our next laugh out loud till our bellies hurt laughter and a chance to dance to some sort of disco music with you by my side. Know that I love you and miss you everyday and I will see you very very soon
❤️💃💃🏼💃🏻💃🏼💃💃🏻💃💃🏻💃🏻💃🏼💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻❤️

Till our next rendezvous………..

DEAR FRIEND,

I’m sorry for being so bloody rubbish.

But you see, life moves really – REALLY – fast.
From the minute I open my eyes there are small people, big people and even some animals who are relying on me for many different reasons.
Some of them involve eating and basic survival.
I am spinning plates and dropping plenty.
You, my dear friend are one of those plates.
But I love you very much.
I wish that every text message I wrote to you in my head made it into the virtual space and into your phone to let you know you’re in my heart and on my mind.
I wish I could carry through with all the plans we make, knowing we never will. I go there in my mind – it’s loads of fun.
When I drop, frazzled, into bed at night, I remember I haven’t rung you, again.
Then I remember I haven’t locked the back door or brought the cat in and just like that, it’s happened again and I have forgotten, again.
I am very hopeful that one day life will be easier and we will be blessed with plenty of time for laughing, drinking and sharing.
Stick with me,
I promise I will be worth it – when we are old and grey and you need someone to laugh with in the nursing home.
I’m there.

Yours loyally,
Your bloody rubbish friend.

Good Morning & Happy Friday!

I hope you are all well this lovely Friday morning and looking forward to your weekend ahead with the special people in your life. I seen this image today and just wanted to share with you.

A lot of people identify with their job as who they are rather than just something they do. So when the job is no longer there or is taken away from them at any point they can be left with a bit of an identity crisis wondering who they are without it.

Never get so busy working that you give all your precious time away and forget to make a life with those that matter the most around you as time passes very quickly and one day you will look up and things will have changed forever.

Quality time matters. It will be those memories you will cherish throughout life rather than another day at the office.

Make it count this weekend with those that matter the most to you.

Love & Light

A picture says a thousand words.

Sending love & light to everyone who has lost someone they love dear to their hearts.

Andrene 💛

DON’T MISS ME MORE THAN ONCE A DAY

Don’t miss me more than once a day,
For life is moving fast.
Don’t wish all of your time away,
Dreaming of the past.

Don’t waste the moment looking at,
The things I left behind me.
I’m not there anymore my love,
Your heart is where you’ll find me.

Don’t dread to say my name, sweet one,
Don’t fear the wrath of sadness.
Just take the love you had for me,
And turn it into gladness.

Some days your anger will rush out,
Your tears will find their way.
To me, wherever I am then,
I’ll soothe them all away.

When I am gone don’t miss me more,
Than once, or twice a day.
There’s so much life to live, my love.
I’m with you, all the way.

Good Morning and Happy Monday!

I hope you had a lovely relaxing time over the festivities and had a chance to regroup, recharge and feel ready to take on your year ahead. With everything going on just now, this coming year will no doubt come with its own trials and tribulations, but it also has the prospect to be a year full of new opportunities if you can focus your mind on how to achieve them.

As Jim Rohn said “You cannot change your destination overnight, but you can change your direction overnight”.

So the big question is in this New Year and Your New Start.........

Which way are you headed?

Do you know what your top 5 intentions are for Your Year ahead?

If you don’t know the destination you are headed in, how can you expect your brain (your own personal Super Computer/Sat Nav) to be able to help you find the right tools and the right people to help you along your way?

This year is no doubt going to have its own unique challenges again and will likely throw many spanner’s in the works with a few unexpected twists and turns so your plan has to be motivating and inspirational enough to hold steady in your mind should life give you a few knocks along the way.

So first things first........
1 - Know which way you’re going & Make a Plan
A CLEAR, PRECISE & ENTICING VISION that is going to get you out of bed everyday to achieve it, NO MATTER WHAT!
2 - Set the co-ordinates on your inner Sat Nav and hold that ENTICING VISION of what you want in your head every morning before you leave the house
3 - Do a little bit each day to take you in the direction you want to go and just watch step by step as you achieve a little more and a little more each day.

Then come this time next year you will be able to look back and take stock of 2021 as the year that you Changed Direction and REALLY started to live the life you’ve always dreamed of. But it all begins with good planning and your ability to decide what it is you really want.

If you know you need to make changes in your life but you are not quite sure where to start, get in touch today and I can be here to help.

Set your intentions, create that amazing motivational vision for your life and follow through consistently with what you need to do every single day and just watch how 2021 unfolds for you. It could be your best year yet!

Love & Light

Happy New Year to your and yours!

I hope you have managed to have the best time you could have over the festivities. I have been lucky enough to spend my first day of the year surrounded my nearest and dearest with lots of laughter and happiness. Long may that continue into 2021.

My friend shared this with me and I just wanted to share with you today.

So here’s a toast to the Old You. The Old You who has got you through every single trial and tribulation you have been through that has brought you to wherever you are today. They are made of some strong stuff! So here’s to whatever you wish for and whatever 2021 brings you next. May it be blessed with Happiness, Grace and Good Health.

Love & Light

Happy Christmas Eve!

I hope you and your family are well today as we approach the main day of our festive season.

I know this year has been a tough one. For everyone in many different ways. Our table will be sorely missing some of our favourite people this year. With the new restrictions being imposed it may seem as if the end is nowhere in sight but know that no matter how tough things may feel right now, change is a constant and things will eventually move forward. We just need to keep going until then.

So in the mean time take care of those who need you the most whether it be in person if you are able to or digitally to make sure they know they are loved. Be kind to everyone you can as everyone is fighting their own battles right now and a little light, love and kindness may be all they need to remind them that they can do it. We can get through this together........Albeit in our own bubbles.

If you need any help or advice on anything that is troubling you right now I will be back in clinic from the 5th Jan but can be here if you need me via messenger.

From my Family to Yours I wish you a wonderful Christmas Day and sending Love & Light for a more hopeful 2021.

Best wishes,

Andrene 💛🎅🏻🎄

Hello December!

I hope you are all well this morning. Apologies for my lack of posts in the last few weeks. November was a very busy month for Andrene Hughes Life Coaching and it seems December is looking that way too but I seen this today and I just had to share with you.

Let’s be honest 2020 has not entirely worked out the way that any of us had planned this year. I was clearing out my cupboard last week and found a 2020 diary that had been almost unused. I genuinely thought to myself “Well that was a complete waste of money buying that 🙈”

Nobody knew what the future held for us all at the start of 2020 just as we don’t know what lies ahead. But a wise lady told me yesterday that we need to have plans to look forward to, to motivate us and give us something to aim for in Iife. So, my 2021 diary is in the post and on its way. Yes life is not perfect by any means and there is still so much going on out with our control, but we can still dream and plan for when it does turn around again. And it will. So I am planning on having as happy a run up to the festivities as I can. Sadly there will be some family members who will not be at the dinner table this year as they are no longer with us, but I am going to focus on the people who still remain and focus on what I have to be thankful for in my life and because of the happiness they bring me I am going to enjoy every day I can in December. If 2020 has taught me anything it is to be grateful for everyone you cherish dearly in your life, even the ones who challenge you because tomorrow is promised to no one.

Today I wish you a Happy December and a 2021 diary filled with so many things that will light up your again.

Love & Light

Good Morning!

Get curious in November.

Take the time to find out more about the ‘Real You’ internally and hatch new plans for the coming months ahead. Life has not stopped. It has just paused slightly for now. But this offers you a chance for a period of reflection, taking on the new challenges that life may be throwing at you right now and working on your own self growth.

You’ve got 29 days left. What changes do you want to make and what do you plan to do with those precious remaining days?

Love & Light

Hello November!

I hope you are all well and the sun is shining where you are this sunny Sunday. I seen this post and wanted to share with you today.

As I plan for my month ahead, these are some of the ‘To Do’s’ I will do my best to live by for November. There is no doubt our way of life is being tested on a daily basis with more uncertainty in the air for the coming month. But my wish for you today is to remain centred and calm as we head into this new period ahead. Be kind to those who are suffering more than you, be it physically, emotionally, financially or mentally and do your best to help them where you can.

We are not all in the same boat but we are all caught up in the same stormy seas right now. As I’ve said before, the storm will pass. We just need to navigate our way through it. Until then take care of one another as best you can and if you need help yourself then reach out to those that love you the most.

Have an amazing end to your week and an easy start to your week that follows.

Love & Light
