Welcome to Boxing Day – you made it and now its done!!

For those of you who hosted yesterday I sincerely hope that today is chilled and relaxed whatever that means for you.

Personally it’s a day of chilling out, leftovers and just being to get the balance back after a wonderful family filled days yesterday.

All went well which is all we can wish for.

In the spirit of life moving forwards - my intention is to do less – more and to do more with less and I approached Christmas in this way and it really really worked!

Being much more mindful of how we spend our time and our money is going to be my way forwards in the New Year.

I am loving having the time and space to be more creative
So little life hacks and ways to survive this crazy world physically, emotionally and financially will be popping up in more posts!

This grape wreath was a big hit with cheese board and so easy to do for those who are not sweet people. It cost very little.

So have a wonderful day darling ones whether you are continuing to party or taking time out - do it on your terms!!!

Well that’s me done!

All the food prep is finished and I have loved every moment of putting love and energy into every dish knowing that I will be giving my favourite people their favourite things!

The table is laid and it makes me smile. Before our girls were born we were adults only effectively having a long and leisurely lunch with an appropriately themed table.

Then we have had all the years of throwing as much sparkle, glitter, froo froo and child friendly stuff on the table as possible to entertain and occupy them.

As I laid the table this year we are back to simple and adult as they work towards their 17th year – so lots of reminiscing and many happy memories.

So after all that Mr C and I sat down with a little glass of something and a treat to watch our annual viewing of Love Actually. How lucky are we to be able to just enjoy something so simple together – it means the world.

I make no apology for loving that film and all Richard Curtis films. They bring together music, love, laughter and sadness and remind us that love comes in all ways, shapes and forms not just romantic.

Love is the glue that binds us and makes everything worthwhile.
So whatever you do and who ever you do it with do it with love, take care of it and never take it for granted.

With all my love and wishing you a peaceful, happy, drama free and loving Christmas.

Thank you all and be back on Boxing Day!!!

Big love and hugs always! ###

Good morning wonderful people!

Time for a swivel and putting a different slant on things.

We can spend a lot of time focused on what we don’t want – what if we turned that around and started to focus on and see what it is that we do want?

What makes us feel safe, secure, connected, belonging, valued, appreciated and at peace?

Start with friends – recognise the good ones, the ones who match your energy, who are on the same page as you and celebrate them – they are special!!

So a shout out today to all of those wonderful people we call friends and who are the icing on our cake of life!!

You know who you are and I love you!! ###

Good morning lovely people!

I went to one of my wonderful friends for cake therapy recently and she said – don’t look at the state of the carpet!

So my response was – if I am checking out your carpet instead of just enjoying being here with you – you have every right to throw me out!!

Seriously – if people are going to judge us on minutiae instead of embracing us, our company and being welcomed into our homes and our hearts – they are simply not our people!!

We are not Stepford wives – we are full blooded, passionate people with lives to live, stuff to do and not everything will get done!

Let go of the need for approval – people who matter won’t care if its not perfect and people who care really don’t matter!!!

Happy Sunday lovely people!!

Apologies - I thought I had posted this before I went out but clearly I hit the wrong button - sort of fitting for todays post!!

If we can laugh at ourselves when things go wrong and see the funny side of stuff it supports us in processing, dealing and letting go of it easier.

Laughter is a workout for the body and soul from the inside out.

How often have you cried with a friend in difficult times only to end up having a laugh about it?

We are not perfect, life is not perfect and other people are not perfect either so lets just accept that c**k ups will happen, stuff will go wrong and it will be ok!!!

Sending big hugs and much love ###

Happy weekend darling people!!

I was in Waitrose yesterday getting the turkey and I ended up talking to a lovely lady who was clearly very emotional!

She told me she has not been sleeping and worrying about the weather and the boats not getting in and not being able to get the turkey for her family and letting them down and now they had arrived she had been worried they would be too expensive!

Then I bumped into a lovely elderly gentleman who was trying to do the shopping because his wife has had two new hips and she can't walk and they have all the family coming to them!

How many other people are losing sleep, stressing and worried that the very real factors of life today will somehow impact on their day!

Seriously - its time for us to be emotionally honest and talk and strive to have family christmas where no-one is struggling, pressured and we all get to enjoy it in a way that makes sense to us!!

There is no law that tells you how you are supposed to experience this day so please take the pressure off yourself!

Gotta go - time to put the sprouts on!!! ###x

Good morning wonderful people!

One of the reasons we really need to be mindful of the way we think and talk to ourselves is because the brain is always desperately trying to bring us what it thinks we are asking for!

So if we are constantly reinforcing failure, fear and negativity that is where our focus is and we can set ourselves up for failure!

So just be mindful of what you are thinking and saying to yourself – something as simple as “I bet there will be nowhere to park” – “I bet they won’t have any …..”

During times of challenge we can get so caught up in having low expectations of life and people we can get out of the habit of even recognising what good stuff looks like!

Try to keep your mind open to the totality of possibilities and that maybe, just maybe things will go well and it will be ok!!

The world needs to know we are open to receiving all the good stuff – whatever that may be and whatever that may look like!

So open up your mind and your heart to receiving the good stuff in whatever form it comes– a smile, a compliment, a tiny act of kindness – these are the wonderful pops of magic. xx

Well its a wet and wild Thursday wonderful ones!!

You need to find your joy where you can in life!

Yesterday at the gym we bade an emotional au revoir to one of our gang as they headed off to the Canaries for a well deserved holiday.

So happy for her to be heading off for a lovely time but made even more relevant because this time last year she had to cancel the same holiday to go into hospital for a double mascetomy.

What a difference a year makes and how fabulous to see someone you care about getting the joy back in their lives!!

So later we went to pick up our girls to go for dinner at El Tico and it was so lovely to be out in the dark seeing all the beautiful lights on peoples houses!

Such time, effort and energy people have put in to work that they won't see from the inside but strangers will get so much joy from as they pass!

Sometimes people have no idea how much their lives can impact and bring joy to others - I choose those moments!!

Hoping you have some little pops of joy in your day today!! ###

Good morning lovely people!!

So lightening up with the posts from hereon in!

Sitting here having my coffee and organising my thoughts and jobs and reflecting on what is good and what there is to have gratitude for.

So many good people seen this year! So much good work done and so many great results!!

Each and every one of you are what drives me to get up in the morning and feel excited for life!!

Life is full of ups and downs but one thing is sure people are essentially good, capable and all they need is the right support, to feel listened to,valued, respected and taken seriously in order to take back their power and flourish!!

Well the ones on this page anyway - only lovely people here!!

So remember who you are, remember what you have achieved, remember what you are capable of and don't let the bastards get you down!!!

Good morning lovely people!!

Well The Practice is now closed for appointments until the New Year to give me time to work on some new projects including the festivities!

I will still be working and posting just not seeing people at the moment.

You may have seen this piece that was posted at the weekend.

It was a little trip down memory lane to places, people and life styles no longer with us!

It also made me realise that I have left a part of myself in the 80s particularly when it comes to comparing prices!!

So anyone fancy a trip back to the 80s for Christmas this year – if only!!xx

On a serious note - sometimes people feel sad for times gone, people gone, youth gone so be kind to yourself in the weeks ahead as you may be able to relate to this "The older you get, the more you feel homesick for a version of life that no longer exists."

Good morning lovely ones!

So every one of you will be experiencing the next couple of weeks in different ways with different challenges and different concerns!

Just please give yourself some grace, compassion and kindness and just do what you can when you can!

You are not going to be gfited with an extra dose of energy, money or patience just because there is a lot to do - so plan, organise and make good use of the resources you have physical, emotional and financial and DON'T let anyone put pressue on you - and that includes you!!###

Big love ###
