I’m really looking forward to running the Self-care Sunday morning session. It’s odd to think that many of the people who may identify a need to come will be those who struggle to make time…..I get it. If that’s you drop me a line as I want to keep working with people in this area…
Read MoreDid you know that January 13th is Make Your Dreams Come True Day? Well it is according to a calendar I found online and that’s good enough for me! Actually as far as I’m concerned that should be the case every day but maybe that’s a little unrealistic for some. The Goal Watchers group is…

Read More“I’m good enough, I’m worth it.” Two small phrases that jumped out at me when Candice Brown won Bake Off last night. I rarely watch programs like this and it’s even rarer that I watch the final live (iPlayer is my best friend when it comes to television) but I’m so pleased I caught this…
Read MoreHave you seen the Reed #lovemondays adverts? I love the idea, it’s great to love Monday….. Tuesday and every other day of the week. Life is so much better when you enjoy your Monday and know that the rest of the week will bring more of the same. I can honestly say that nearly all of my…
