Could You Be A Fool?

My Facebook feed is full of giggles this morning, it’s April Fool’s Day after all 😉 According to AI (!) The true origin of April Fool’s Day is a bit of a mystery—but there are a few widely accepted theories, and they all circle around themes of time, change, and playful mischief.   One of…

Resistance To Change

This week, I’ve had the joy of witnessing some real-life animal psychology—and it reminded me just how much humans and animals share the same resistance to change.  Our ponies, Monty and Elvis, have lived happily together in their own field for quite some time. They’re good buddies, often seen side by side, grooming each other…

Harnessing The Potential Of A Number 3 Month

Marvellous March!  We’ve had just had a wonderful weekend of beautiful blue skies and sunshine, real heart sing weather, especially when the birds are singing too and signs of Spring are in abundance all around.   The photo above was from an early morning walk in Northumberland, mist hanging low over Adrian’s Wall. It was…

Stop Playing Small

STOP PLAYING SMALL? Unless it’s just for fun KEEP READING FOR A VERY SPECIAL OFFER Remember that feeling of pure joy as a child when someone praised your “bigness”? Somewhere along the way, many of us learned to dim our light. Fear of judgment, the voice of self-doubt whispering “Who do you think you are?”…

When Overwhelm Is High …..

Sometimes the bridge from where you are to where you want to be just seems too much. Do you ever find yourself in a place of overwhelm, with so many things to do, places to be and people to keep happy? And then instead of cracking on you just numb out with food, wine, Netflix…

You’ve Just Got To Go Through It.

Can’t go round it, can’t go over it, oh no, better go through it! My friend and I had a wonderful adventure in the woods a few weeks ago. Our random path brought us to a river, we didn’t want to retrace our steps and debated crossing it. The children’s book Bear Hunt was in…

A Magical Solstice

The sky has gifted us with magical clouds today, on this the shortest day of the year. I got got pretty excited seeing the rainbow clouds, the colours were so special and exactly the same colours that I use in my Living Magically group! I wish you all a peaceful and joyous Christmas time and…

Snuggle Time

Snuggle Time When you are small and you’re feeling a bit under the weather, the perfect solution is to snuggle up for a cuddle with someone who cares about you. I adore this photo of me and my son, and Maisie dog joining in with the love. My son is 18 now and he’s less…

Snap !

SNAP!!!! You know what I mean by snap right ? The universe giving you the same message from two angles at the same time. For example I was listening to an online training the other morning and just as I heard the word rainbow I opened the coat cupboard and it was full of rainbows…

Grounded In Scotland

It’s summer holidays and my love of Scotland and standing stones merge. For some, holidaying by a tropical beach would be the dream, for me dodging the rain to connect with a 3,500 year old ancient site on the West Coast of Scotland is my idea of bliss! Standing stones remind me of our intrinsic…

Is It Safe Yet?

Elvis is scared of flies! He runs to the safety of his shelter to escape them, then peeps out to see if it is safe to come out. Sometimes it’s our fear of the little things that makes a big difference to our lives. It’s nice having a safe place to retreat to, but ultimately…

Shine Bright… Like A Lion!

Facebook gave me the gift of a memory last week, from World Book Day 10 years ago. There was the painted face of Aiyana, being a lion. I loved the memory, it took me straight back to her being in the kitchen, crawling around on hands and knees with an awesome fake tail following her,…
