Notice Nature Everyday

Since 1st January I’ve been making an effort to notice something about nature everyday… It started on an impulse after I saw a tweet from Kate Macrae that simply said: “Every day, take a moment to notice nature… a simple task proven to improve mental health.” It made me stop and think… I spend aContinueContinue reading “Notice Nature Everyday”

New Beginnings… again… and again!!

It’s always tricky when I’ve not posted anything for several months… not knowing quite how to begin again!  Do I acknowledge or make excuses for the huge four month gap?  Or just dive in again as if it was only last week?  …Or waffle on a bit about not knowing how to begin!!! It’s soContinueContinue reading “New Beginnings… again… and again!!”

Reiki… as I see it!

A few months back a new client told me that she had been wanting to try reiki for years but didn’t know very much about it.  She asked if there was some information on-line that she could read prior to our appointment.  I didn’t quite know what to say… there’s loads of stuff out thereContinueContinue reading “Reiki… as I see it!”

Lessons from the Lockdown

In my last post I approached the idea of designing a new world… of using this time of ‘lockdown’ to reflect on what is truly important to us.  To rethink our priorities and our values.  Now as we approach the possibility of businesses re-opening, are we eager to return to ‘normal’ or have we realisedContinueContinue reading “Lessons from the Lockdown”

Designing a New World

It feels like an understatement to say the world has changed somewhat since my last post… For the past few weeks I’ve felt driven to document the history that we are creating right now, but yet too exhausted to put pen to paper… lacking the head-space to fully process my thoughts… it’s all too surreal!ContinueContinue reading “Designing a New World”
