It’s amazing what can happen when you face your fears and push through the panic that’s been holding you back for years. On our recent holiday in Corfu, that’s exactly what I did! I’ve been petrified of putting my face in the water whilst swimming, for years. Ever since I was little and having taken…
I can’t quite believe it’s been two months since my last Journey of Self Discovery Workshop. The time has flown by! I absolutely loved every minute of it and by the end I was positively buzzing. If you had stuck a pin in me, I would have definitely popped glitter! It’s a wonderful feeling, to…
Hi Mum, It’s only me! I hope you can hear me? I feel you can. Today it’s your birthday and I still miss you like crazy. On this day ten years ago, I had my fortieth birthday party. Don’t get me wrong it was great, but along with many of my best friends, you weren’t…
Firstly a massive apology for going AWOL on you. I’ve been so busy living life, I have barely had time to catch my breath, never mind write about it! At last my day’s off and work pattern seem to follow some semblance of order which has made fitting it all in a bit easier. Although…
The trouble with achieving any long held goal, dream or ambition is the inevitable feeling of loss once you’ve finally got there.

I realised that I run differently to whatever song comes blasting through my earphones at the time, and it really…
I’ve just come back from one of the best holidays I’ve ever had. Ian and I have never spent so much time together in the whole 24 years we’ve been together and amazingly we are still talking! Okay so I’m always talking, but he’s still there to hear it. We joined my Sister-in-law Judy and…
I have to be honest, I really didn’t fancy my run this morning. I was tired, I’d been on an early shift all week, so had less sleep, my Fitbit was impressed with my many, many steps just from a normal day at work and as my oh so lovely (yet honest) hubby pointed out,…
I love this time of year. I know it has suddenly got dark so much earlier, but there is something lovely about crunchy leaves, hot soup and of course dressing up all gothy! It’s such a contrast from this time last year. Nothing seemed right. If my wheel of life was a real one it…
Well since my holiday trying to get back to normal has felt like a nigh on impossible task. Since the start of this week though, I’ve been on a mission to get jiggy with it and get myself back in to gear. All good coaches have coaches and I am no exception, but with my…
