Have you heard the old saying that people come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime? A friend of mine recently discussed how difficult it can be to let go of friends and it’s been on my mind for a few days. In the past this isn’t something I’ve struggled with. […]
I have to admit I’m ridiculously excited about this year. If you read my previous post, you’ll know that 2017 was a bit of a mixed year for me so I’m overflowing with excitement to get going with 2018. This year will focus more than ever on Mindfulness – I’ll be continuing with my gratitude […]
When you wake up in the morning, before jumping out of bed mad keen to start your day (or dragging yourself out from under the duvet), take a little mindful moment to look around you. How do you feel about everything you see when you wake up? How do you feel about every room you […]

I’m a little bit late posting this as we are already 13 days into March, but better late than never, right?
