Are forgiving & forgetting really the only options we have?

Are forgiving & forgetting really the only options we have?

On Sunday, I found myself in a position where I was neither able to forgive nor forget. Nothing major had happened. My brain had just fixated itself on a couple of things which had been said, done, not said and not done by a tiny minority of people in my life. I...
Life’s a garden, can you dig it?

Life’s a garden, can you dig it?

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…..one of the places where I get my greatest education is in conversation with my own clients. When they relax into the space I create for them, when they trust themselves, when they just let it flow,...
Hana’s biz, Hana’s way

Hana’s biz, Hana’s way

Judith Morgan made me write this post about my biz. In fact, no, that’s a lie. Sarah Swanton made me do this. The reality, of course, is that neither of them made me do this. Between them, they gave me the wonderful opportunity to participate in Judith’s...
Start from the bottom-up

Start from the bottom-up

This post is inspired by a talk given by Jon Kabat-Zinn, the god-father of mindfulness (link at end), in which he said: “As long as you’re breathing, there’s more right with you than wrong with you”. Breathing, aka being alive, is the most...
How to get back on track

How to get back on track

How to be miserable

How to be miserable

I love the fact that I’ve seen quite a few people calling ‘BS’ on the media frenzy surrounding ‘Blue Monday’ this week. It’s quite frankly ridiculous that there would be one day of the year when you’re more likely to be...
My clients: the best of 2017

My clients: the best of 2017

I really enjoy a good old reflection exercise. I’ve already done it for myself for 2017, using my own workbook of course! It helped me acknowledge how much I learnt and how much I grew during 2017. And I thought it would be interesting to the do the same on...
Reflect & Grow – Part Two

Reflect & Grow – Part Two

To follow on from my pre-xmas post which encouraged you to take a bit of time to reflect on 2017, now we’re ready to look forward. Into the exciting and unknown depths of what 2018 may have in store for us. If you’re ready to take responsibility and make...
Reflect & Grow – Part One

Reflect & Grow – Part One

A different kind of post for you today. An exercise for you to do, which encourages you to take a bit of time to reflect on the experiences that you’ve had in 2017 before you rush ahead with making plans and thinking about what you may want to achieve in the...
What I’ve learnt about dating from……dating

What I’ve learnt about dating from……dating

I’m back on the dating scene. In earnest. And there must be something in the water because all the new clients that I’ve had in the last month have wanted to partly, or exclusively, talk about dating too. When I told my mother this fact she looked at me quizzically...
