This week has been a lot.

Hospital visits, waiting rooms, difficult news, and trying to keep everything together while life doesn’t slow down for a second.

I’ve felt tired. A bit overwhelmed. And still showing up anyway.

Not perfect. Not polished. Just real life.

If you’re in a season like this too, you’re not alone.

💬 I’d love to hear from you — how are you really doing right now? Drop a comment or just say hi would love to hear from you x

Yesterday I helped my mum settle into a care home for respite after a long stay in hospital.

As I was ironing labels into her clothing I was mindful of doing the same thing for my children starting school.

Big change.

Uncertainty.

I was aware of several sources of anxiety for me today . 😣
I had to stop and breathe at several points of the day.

I have also taken time to acknowledge the emotions present and the tiny moments of peace and joy .

Standing on my lawn feeling the grass under my feet ,
enjoying a great meal with my family,
Spending quality time with my cousin ,
Seeing the nurses joke and laugh along with my mum.

What will tomorrow bring?

Even on the most uncertain day there can be pockets of time to come back to yourself and show yourself gratitude and compassion.

Keeping it real . fans
There are days where I can put on the happy, confident , together version of myself and there are days where I recognise it’s quite draining.

I’m sat in McDonald’s asda after a medical appointment listening to one of my dad’s favourite performers (sweet Caroline - Neil Diamond ).
Things are up and down with my mum and it’s hard to watch her suffer .
Part of my new identity includes authenticity.
Show up even when the chips are down. ❤️✨
Let emotions out or sit with them when they are bubbling up , reach out for guidance when needed . 🙏
I’ve prayed to my guardian angel for guidance and strength today . I think they heard me !!
Wishing you love and light today . This too will pass . “Tomorrow is another day . “

Today is the first day of the Chinese new year , the Fire Horse. The time to step out and take action! ✨🫶🙌

Quick update for you all - I have had a very busy couple of months . 😅
Following Christmas my elderly mum became very poorly and is now in hospital which has taken lots of my energy and focus .
Fingers crossed she’s turns a corner soon !

I have attended the trainings I signed up for including Mindfulness Based Inner Repatterning with Angela Connolly , in person . Emotional freedom technique level one and my Qi Gong teacher training online .

I had the pleasure (and cake ) to attend a Vision Board session that was held locally at Cafe Sorella which was amazing (see photos below ) . Then this Sunday, I went to a wonderful workshop (a CEO day ) to help local business owners gain clarity and focus in the business ventures - I really found it useful! 👏
Lastly I’ve kept myself sane and grounded following the lovely Helen Totton’s telegram channel and meditations …

That’s all for now folks !!!

What have you been up to ?
What goals are you working on?
What lights you up when the chips seem down?
Please share with me

Happy Christmas .
A flavour of my week .
I had the pleasure of attending a winter solstice retreat last Saturday which included the most beautiful anointing with essential oils .
A space for me carved out before the flurry of present , food buying and helping my mum .
May this Christmas bring you peace and joy x

Good morning

This morning I hope you have time to stop , take a pause breathe and enjoy one moment but the busyness of the holiday season starts .
In Leeds the sun is shining , I’m enjoying a morning adaptagen coffee and feeling some stillness before I have to get more things done .

What can you do to take one moment of time for you ?
What are you grateful for?
Breathe and be thankful.
Thank you for reading this post ❤️✨

Good morning lovely people ❤️✨🫶🥰

Not posted in a little while ,
I have had a contemplative month filled with lots of self reflection , meditation and grounding work.
Autumn has been a season of reflecting on what does and does not serve me .
What could I let go of ?
What could I stop doing or put a boundary in place to conserve my own energy?

Today it’s my daughter’s 18th birthday 🎁 and soon it will be Christmas then the new year .
The end of the year the end of childhood for my beautiful girl the start of the next chapter .

Today could you reflect on those questions?
Light a candle grab a notebook take some deep breaths and connect to yourself.
What could you let go of ?
What is not serving you ?
What is your heart calling for ?

Enjoy ☺️

Today I had the chance to experience a beautiful wellbeing day at our local Buddhist centre . I chose to do the cacao ceremony with shamanic drum Yoga nidra, tai chi , and sound bath. So wonderful to have a full day of relaxing in different ways.

I also got the opportunity to meet some lovely people , participants and teachers alike .

This month I have been grounding outside each morning (even in the snow ❄️) and practicing qi gong together with more learning some new things in my online classes .

What ways can you find to relax connect or learn?
What do you need to let go of this autumn to make space for Christmas then the new year?
How can you plan space and time to make you a priority before the hustle and bustle of the festive period ?
Have a think 🤔 plan get it in the diary .

Some days it’s a “duvet day watching Tangled “ kind of day!

We all need a rest whether it’s mentally ,physically ,emotionally from time to time.
Some people (like me ) feel guilty for taking a few days to recoup their energy levels BUT
If you aren’t feeling good how can you be there for others . As the saying goes put your own oxygen mask on first .
What about you ?
What can do to plan good rest into your life or a mental break ?

Spending quality time with my friends is something I really love to do .
I’ve known my friend Anne for over 20 years , we went to see Katy Perry together and a spa earlier in the year. What fun! 🤩

What do you enjoy doing in your free time ?

Can ypu make time for yourself or something you enjoy?

If you are aware of what you value this can really help guide you to prioritise what’s important.
