My Dad Thinks I’m a Fairy! Does he really? To level with you, my dad doesn’t think I’m a fairy at all. It is, however, the title of an amazing book collaboration I am a part of, alongside 12 incredible co-authors. My fabulous friend, the gorgeous Serena Dodd, had the vision to curate this inspirational [...]
A rainbow of celebrations – not only red, white and blue! 🌈🌈🌈 I set an intention a few weeks ago to meet my Harnessing Happiness podcast guests in real life, and it’s all coming to fruition. On Saturday, I met up with Helen and Claire – and their episode hasn’t even been released yet! Gareth [...]
🌟🌟 OMG – I need to write a blog post, and a LinkedIn post! 🌟🌟 For those of you who post on your blog page or your LinkedIn page on a regular basis, I am sure that you are only too aware of how quickly the time vanishes when you need to post some new [...]
The POWER of NO! No, I’m not going to do it! That was my decision on Saturday afternoon about The Clawson 10K that I’d signed up to run several weeks ago. A trail run race across the beautiful Leicestershire countryside. Gareth had booked places for both of us, and I had thought that we were [...]

The hot cross bunny strikes! I would say that 95% of the time, my mindset is positive, as I am sure you will know if you are a regular reader of my posts. It is genuinely what I am about – always seeking the positive perspective in life and, as a rule of thumb, it [...]
Observations, curiosity, and learning … When I spend time reflecting, I realise that how I glean information today is something I have done all my life. Over the years, I’ve always taken note of stuff that ‘speaks’ to me as important. I’ve listened and grabbed nuggets from books or magazines that I’ve read; from conversations [...]
Synchronicity, books, and grabbing those opportunities that feel just right … For many years, I just lived my life without much curiosity, although that’s not to say that it held me back from doing things; far from it – I did lots! However, those were the years with my ex-husband, all 20 of them, and [...]
Now that’s what I call the best way to start the week! Blue skies and sunshine at the beach, a birthday, and a much-needed mini break! What a winning combination! I don’t know about you, but I just love getting away to the coast and being by the sea. I love the fresh, clean air, [...]
