Good morning lovely ones!

I am blessed to have many strong, independent and kickass women in my life both as clients and friends!

But I have noticed that being hyper independent and resilient has a downside!

No-one ever recognises when you are struggling or could do with a bit of support!!

Oh, its So and So - she has got this - she is so strong - nothing gets to her!!

It doesn't matter how resilient or strong we are - to have our challenges acknowledged and to be shown a little support or kindess or even acknowledgement - goes a long way.

That said , women of this mold keep their s**t together until someone is kind to them and that is when they wobble BECAUSE they are so not used to it - so support NOT sympathy!!

Just because people deal well with what they are coping with doesnt mean they don't feel it!!

Big hugs I see you!! xx

Welcome to the week lovelies!!

Regardless of where you work or what you do imagine if you had a rate of monetary value for your time – what would that be and what would that be worth to you?

I was considering this when I paid my cleaners the other day.

Over the years the cost has really gone up and it has now
become a luxury!

Personally I love my cleaning ladies even though I can only afford them once a fortnight now.

But when I pay the bill I feel so lucky to have the same ladies come every time who I trust and feel safe with. If I am here I can hear them chatting and singing – always singing – which has to be a good sign!

If I am out it feels like a hug to come home to a lovely clean home that I haven’t had to do – its like a gift to me.

So for me when I balance the cost against me having to take the time and energy and effort to do it – its worth every penny!

If you had to apply that principle to how you spend your time and who you spend it with are you getting good value for money?

Spending time with people who put a smile on your face, who energise you and boost you up and you come back feeling great is worth every penny!

However spending your valuable time with energy drainers who bring you down, exhaust you or who you walk away from thinking – thank god that’s over – really?

You are precious, your time is precious, your energy is precious – use them all wisely!!

Its OK to be more selective about what you do, where you go and who you do it with – maybe you need to give yourself permission to say NO more?

Happy Sunday beautiful!

Our lives really are like books and all have different chapters in them according to where we are in our lives!

Which is why we need to stop rereading old chapters and know when its time to let go and move on to the next chapter that is more in keeping with who we are and what we need now.

I have had a lot of reminiscing over the past few days as I have been having a massive clearout of personal paperwork, bank statements and tax returns etc.

Remembering projects I worked on and loved and then ones I was very happy to see the back of!

Remembering our lovely home in France and letting go of all the paperwork connected with the purchase and subsequent sale and wondering how the hell I ran two homes when one seems enough these days!

These were great times and amazing chapters BUT knowing when to call it a day and move on is SO important!

Our needs and priproties change throughout our lives and for me peace, health and happiness are the non negotiables – anything else is a bonus but not to be chased!

have a good one!! ###

Welcome to the weekend you beautiful souls!

Well “treats” day took us the the L’Horizon yesterday for what our girls called a “boujee” afternoon tea on the terrace.

No battle of Flowers or traffic - just a quick jaunt down the hill!

We are enjoying going to places and doing things we would never usually do as part of our Jersey holiday!

We all work hard and try to be the best version of ourselves living our best lives - so we need to give ourselves some incentive and motivation to keep going and to make the absolute most of every day of life and of the summer!

Had a lovely time seeing the world from the other side of the prom and watch the world go by then more than happy to go home and chill out!

There is so much in life we cannot predict or control so it makes it even more important that we make good choices and take control where we can!!

Big love and have a great day!! ###

Morning lovelies!

Now let me start by saying that I am a big believer in manners and having thought and consideration for others!

The world would be a better place if we all looked out for others more and they looked out for us as well!

However there are generations of us where the balance was completely the other way and we were bought up to be polite before everything else and put everyone else before ourselves and it created a really strong belief system of people pleasers and needing approval!

So as in all things balance and common sense are the keys.

Girls and boys need to feel empowered to set boundaries in their life to keep themselves physically, emotionally and sexually safe and to save them much heartache as adults!

Much of my work with people now is in encouraging them to give themselves permission to set boundaries with others and to let go of feeling guilty of saying NO!

Big love ###

Good morning you wonderful people!

I hope you all managed a comfortable day and night and not to much chaos going to watch the eclipse in that heat!!

Personally I did not go chasing the eclipse - it was lovely and cool in my bedroom with all the doors and windows and fan on watching Masterchef!

So I hope its a bit cooler for everyone today as warm is good hot is not!!

Listen to your body and be kind to yourself lovelies!! ###

Good morning beautiful people!

I have said it before and I will say it again – when people smile it changes their whole face and they light up from within!

If you have ever smiled at someone thinking they were someone else and then felt embarrassed, why? You have just given them a gorgeous gift!

The world needs more smiling!

People need to feel softer, gentler energy so when someone smiles at them their whole nervous system calms and they feel safer.

Unless of course they are attracted to them in which case everything will start racing but that’s a whole different story!

People are perceived to be more approachable and relatable when they smile – it opens up the dance of communication.

There is no downside to smiling and to be on the receiving end can give you a boost that you may really need that day!!

Good morning you lovely people!

Sometimes I yearn to go back to a simpler life when you didn’t need a constant log in or passwords or apps or QR codes to do stuff!

Obviously life changes, moves on and we need to upskill and keep ourselves current and uptodate in order and go with the flow or we will be left behind!

But there is much to be said for a simpler life when we relied on our own skills and imagination and not just technology and when I saw this it reminded me YES, life was simpler, slower and kinder on the brain (depending on how you are wired!).

I can't imagine children today being happy with a bit of elastic or hopscotch!!

So as a good right brain girl I do know that my strengths lay with certain skills and that this increasingly left brain world stretches me to keep learning but I guess that keeps you young in other ways!!

As in all things balance is the key so take advantage of technology but make time for being in nature and for the slower and simpler and creative things as well!!

Welcome to the week gorgeous people!

To meet the requirements of my professional bodies I have to keep client files for 6/7 years depending on type.

So each year I collate the relevant years files and prepare them for the Secure shredding service bin that gets delivered to the Practice.

It is always a process going through and seeing names come up and remembering peoples journeys.

In the main I don’t really need it written down to remember it because every person who walks through the doors deserves to be valued, respected and remembered – so their stories are in my head and I never forget them!

It is an honour and a privilege to be trusted by someone who seeks support at a challenging time in their life and for me it is essential that clients get the right person to support them in the right way who has a duty of care for them and who actually does care!

I always remember being told about a therapist who was well known for bragging that they only had time for people who had an appointment and were paying him £90 an hour otherwise he didn’t give a damn!

Just this week I heard of someone who went to see a therapist and was made to feel so uncomfortable and acted so inappropriately they will never go back – I urged them to report it - that is not ok!

So make sure you speak to professionals before you make any commitment to feel confident that they are the right fit for you and what you need whatever type of service you are looking for!

Follow your gut whenever choosing a professional and make sure you feel safe, comfortable and confident before agreeing to anything!!

Happy Sunday you fabulous people!

Weekends are a great time to reboot, recharge and renew!

However there are some kinds of tired that cannot be sorted by just taking it a bit easy or having a nap!

Sometimes when our needs are not being met in life and we feel we are just existing and not living that leaves us feeling very flat, demotivated and exhausted!

So its not that we need to do less but we need to do more that floats our boat and puts a smile on our faces and makes us feel alive!!

Have you ever noticed that you are always far too exhausted to do the stuff that you don’t like – for me the accounts and the tax stuff!

However we are never to exhausted to do the stuff that we really enjoy and gets us going!

So its not a question of how much it’s a question of what is it you need to raise and lift your energy and put that va va va voom back into your life??
