I’ve always admired how potters take a simple lump of clay and shape it into something beautiful. Watching them work, it seems effortless—but the truth is, it’s anything but easy. For my birthday this year, I suggested to my husband that we spend a day at a pottery class. He was surprised—and a little apprehensive—but … More The Art of Surrender: Lessons from Pottery

I’ve got to admit, until recently, I had been finding these winter mornings, with the suns position so low in the sky irritating.

I have been hugely blessed with a great summer. I’ve loved the sunshine, outdoor times with my boys, our family holiday, relaxation and more. I trust you had a good one too!

Autumn feels a bit more contained. The weather … More Time to De-clutter

It makes me very sad when I come across someone who doesn’t recognise their true value. They don’t recognise how precious they really are, yet its blatantly obvious to me there is something so special about them, something so unique. If only they could see that in themselves. I’m fascinated by those diagrams and videos … More You are precious…
I love trees, I’m fascinated by them. I admire the trees in my garden and on my drive to work. I find it extraordinary how in a short space of time, they can look so different and what’s more, is that they make everything around them look different too. Each season brings with it different … More Dancing in the rain (Part Two)
A very good friend once gave me a good piece of advice. I didn’t want to hear it at the time and dismissed it. I was going through a really tough time and all I wanted was for the storm I was in to settle down. I know now that she was trying to manage … More Dancing in the rain (Part One)
