This week (after a vote on Facebook) we are using the Work Your Light oracle cards. I love these cards but sometimes I worry they might be a bit “out there” for your average person – so I would be very interested to hear how you get on with this. Read more…
This year has been something of a spiritual journey for me – in fact it still is! I’ve already written about how I have meditated every day so far in 2018; I have been providing angel card readings for friends and readers; there have been some significant changes in who Read more…
This week (after a vote on Facebook) we are using the Kyle Gray Angel Prayers oracle card deck. This is my newest deck of cards and I’m not sure yet how I get on with them so it will be interesting to hear how people get on with this week’s Read more…
This week (after a vote on Facebook) we are using oracle cards rather than angel cards. The deck I am using is the Work Your Light Oracle Cards by Rebecca Campbell. I love them but they are quite different from the angel cards I’ve been using up to now, so Read more…
Here’s how this works: take a deep breath and calm your thoughts. Look at the image below and decide which card (or cards) you are drawn to. I usually just pick one, but it’s ok to pick two – or even more if you feel like it! Once you’ve chosen your Read more…
I’ve had a meditation practice for a few years now, since a client taught me Primordial Sound meditation when S was small. Since then I’ve had times where I meditated a lot, and whole months where I didn’t bother. I use the Insight Timer app to track my meditation (this Read more…
S is very into the whole beauty thing, and she’s most disappointed that her mother is mostly not! She loves to wear nail varnish; she’ll spend ages putting together her outfits in the mornings, and even longer brushing her hair so that it looks just right. She was very pleased Read more…
It’s 24 minutes past 2 on a very hot day, and I am sitting in my garden reading some inane work-related text when my phone rings. It’s the school. I don’t really register surprise; I figure S has either fallen over or been sick. I’ll have to collect her early. Read more…
When I was about twelve, I went on a school trip to France. I didn’t like the look of the meals that were being given out, so I told them I was a vegetarian to get the better option. When I got home, I carried on with it and ended Read more…
I had an umbilical hernia repair with mesh in September 2017, having had a hernia and diastasis recti for five years. You can read about the diastasis and my experience during those five years here. I had an initial meeting with a consultant which was no longer than ten minutes; Read more…
Schleich have brought out new dinosaur figures for 2018, and S was delighted to be sent some for review. I’ve never met a child who didn’t love dinosaurs, and S is no exception; she loves them and somehow seems to know all sorts of details about them. We were sent Read more…
Last month was the hottest May in years – but despite the heat, it was still only spring! The official start of summer is on June 21st at the summer solstice, but a recent survey carried out by Little Tikes found that most of us class the first week of Read more…
Do you curate your social media feeds? What does that even mean? I don’t mean the things you post; I’m not talking about having one of those beautiful Instagram profiles where all of the images fit together nicely in a colour scheme or overall theme. I’m talking about the things Read more…
Every single time I post a photo of my granola on social media, I get tons of messages and comments asking me to share the recipe. First things first: the original recipe actually comes from the I Quit Sugar book by Sarah Wilson, which I definitely recommend and love. I Read more…
When you’re struggling with any kind of mental health issue, some form of counselling or support can be really helpful. Often one of the main problems with depression and/or anxiety is that we don’t like to burden our friends and family with our problems. When I was ill, I felt Read more…
I’ll let you in on a little secret… but you mustn’t tell anyone. I have never liked my body. The closest I got to even tolerating it was when I was pregnant. Knowing that I was supposed to have a big belly, I embraced tight clothing for the first time in my Read more…
