April is Stress Awareness Month.
In 2020 because of COVID-19, it certainly has a different, more potent resonance. The entire world, it would seem, is struggling to come to terms with Coronavirus. And the world is talking about mental health and the stress of living with this virus. Read more

Gratitude doesn’t change the scenery. It merely washes clean the glass you look through so you can clearly see the colours. Richelle E. Goodrich
2019 didn’t start the way I planned. It was certainly difficult to see any colour other than grey.
Gratitude doesn’t seem to fit with pain, suffering and fear. Read more
It’s always nice to receive a gift, especially when it’s a surprise.
A well-chosen gift can let you know that you have been genuinely heard and profoundly understood. A passing remark picked up on, or a glance in a shop window noticed. Perhaps the giver has been generous with their time and energy letting you know how much you are cared for.
If the story of your relationship (maybe it feels more like a drama) is punctuated with problematic narcissistic behaviours sadly, anxiety will likely also play a part. Read more
Right now, as I struggle to find what I want to be the ‘right’ words for this blog post, I’m feeling pretty vulnerable. That’s because, there’s a part of me that knows if I don’t find the right words, and write the perfect post, I will hear familiar voices in my head.

Welcome to the New Year and a new chapter in your life!
What are you hoping for in 2018 that would be your opening line?
I know for some that ‘hope’ is a tricky word as it challenges you to permit yourself to have desires, wild dreams and wishes. And much more than that, to know that the possibilities you would love to experience in life can manifest. You know you want something to happen, but you don’t claim the possibility that it will.
So if hope is challenging for you, and even if it isn’t, here are three great inspirational quotes for the New Year to connect you with what is within your gift to make possible. They’ll get you thinking about what you can take control of in your life, to create an experience which fully harnesses’ all of you in 2018. Read more
This time of year can feel full on and hectic. There seems to be a never-ending list of demands to try and meet the needs of other people. It can feel too much.
