Cry Me a River, to Be the Best You Who Can Be
You know those times when you feel yourself welling up? But, you’re brave and strong; perhaps you’re in public, so you hold back the tears; you think about something else or tell yourself “it doesn’t matter” or “not again, I thought I’d be over that by now”, or “cry baby, suck it up!”; and so […]
Awesomely Me
Whilst I’m sat here writing, half in a puddle of tea (fortunately herbal and unsweetened) and nearly over feeling ropey from lunch, I revel in another layer of, it’s all about me. Also in the happening today, complete organisational fail as I wasted 3 hours not having my optician appointment (long story, long day!); forgot to […]
Confidence at the heart of it
Confidence, has a lot to answer for.. I used to get so embarrassed about messing up what I was saying and teaching in front of a class, which in turn would make me stumble more and more over my words and delivery. Especially when in front of a new group of people (teaching or otherwise). I’d […]
Cleanse and Detox
Cleanse and Detox. The words cleanse, detox, diet, for some can be quite emotive, even scary, or a potential joy for remedying digestive issues. What you eat, drink and inhale, literally forms the building blocks of your body, therefore, it’s important to know how to help your body to swap some of the shady, polluted […]
I Just Don’t Feel Like It
I Just Don’t Feel Like It. Would missing that class be a total abomination of my physique, training, or education? Would not going out with my friends, making me a bad friend, a recluse, or to never meet my match?.. What happens when I don’t feel like doing what’s on the agenda? Would missing all those […]
An acknowledgement to kind people
Kindness. Nothing less.. When I was about 17 I was starting to get closer to a long time flirting, high school time sweet heart. Within a couple of weeks, I cheated on him with his good friend, in his place. I was drunk and stupid, had no idea what I wanted out of a relationship. Since […]
Somatic Unwinding
So far, the experience has been profound. I’m feeling a need on some level to do some crazy exercise to shake it all up and get back into my past default in questing for muscular strength. However, having just received a second 1:1 hands on session of Body Mind Centering, from the lead trainer Katy […]
Probiotics, are they useful?
I’ve been recommended to take probiotic supplements for years; ever since I learnt that I had Crohn’s disease, friends and teachers have advised me to take this product or that product to repopulate my flora. The doctors have never told me to do so, I didn’t really appreciate what my flora is and it all […]

Whatever the struggle, these past few years have had the propensity to make or break many of us. Many have left this Earth, left relationships, ‘stable’ careers, and homes; […]
It’s All About Me
Clearly, there are some people who don’t need to practice being selfish. Already perhaps enough of It’s All About Me.. I thought I was selfish but I was just scared, I held on tightly to things because being with myself felt impossible to me. Always wanting to share and be open and generous, but not having lucid enough boundaries, I’d […]
