Sit down. Breathe. Write. Repeat...And Breath
After a BIG project or event or initiative is 'delivered' do you give yourself recovery time? When you think of an athlete who prepares and plans for the day/s of delivery and then they rest. Their coach insists they slow down, allow their body to recuperate....
Enough
This week has been family & puppy central! My sis arrived from Crete at 2am last Saturday in the run up to her wedding and Thelma Pluckyhound (as she's known) our 9 week old pup arrived the day before 😵💫 When you're up against deadlines,...
Super Power
If you can master the superpower of silence it will amaze you! So many people - women particularly - struggle with silence. Need to fill the space. Keep talking when they should stop. Find the silence uncomfortable. But. Silence is a...
All change!
It just wasn't making sense to me anymore. I had that nagging feeling that I needed to change a decision and, at the same time, didn't want to let anyone down. I'm sure you can relate to this too AND then it came to me. If the resistance I'm feeling to getting...

Do you do this too?
It was pouring with rain, the trains were all up the creek and it was a Saturday and I wanted to stay at home. But. A plan was in place to gather with 6 school friends in London for lunch. We've known each other for many decades now having met at school in...
