Yes, sometimes I rush too This week’s blog article is a little different. In my work developing digital courses and content for my slowing community, I’m always focused on you and giving you the most value and support I possibly can to learn how to slow down.

You don't need anyone else's permission to slow down I’m not going to insult your intelligence by telling you it’s important to rest and relax. You already know that. So, let me ask you? If you understand the importance of rest and relaxation, why aren’t you doing it? Why aren’t you honouring yourself with time to recharge, time to daydream, time to just BE? I talk to LOTS of women and I’m struck by the…

Sometimes it’s hard to be grateful. When you’re going through a truly rough patch in your life, or your kids are being extra challenging, giving thanks usually isn’t the first thing on your mind. But over the past five years I’ve learnt lots of easy ways to practice gratitude. They don’t take much time and have brought me many wonderful benefits.

It’s always there isn’t it? The list. You know what I’m talking about don’t you, busy mum? The ‘To Do list’ you keep in your head each day – the one that means you can’t slow down and waits to pop into your weary mind just as your head hits the pillow.

Do you adore your home and like me, little by little, love to pretty it up? Having a home which is gently and lovingly upgraded, reflecting you and your inner world is an absolute blessing I believe. This is all possible even if you are the owner of the house you dwell in or in some cases, even if you are not. Significant changes in your home can be either small or large; cost the…

Living large with less? What does it mean for you? Lets have a look. I overheard someone say the other day … “I am doing this challenge with a friend at the moment; neither of us are buying a single new item of clothing in 2019.

Learn what you can do about it. I was wondering if you answer yes to any of these questions … Do you often feel like you are rushing to do it all? Do you often feel like you are wound up like a spring? Do you often feel like you are in a daily battle to try and keep up? Is it possible that YES has been your answer to all of these?! You know,…

I know right, so far they are everywhere on both my site and my feed! Can I have ANY photos without them?! Well, yeah, sure, totally I can, but these photos you are seeing of me and my horses are one of those things that has been pivotal in this journey of mine and they have kinda resulted naturally in forming the flavour of me here.

I was starting to feel that even though we could have very happily spent the rest of our days in our beautiful retro old girl caravan we fondly call Evie, camped out on my gorgeous sister’s rural property, that it was time to consider where to next for us.
