I've been a little quiet on here for a variety of reasons.
Firstly lots of changes are happening for me and I am excited to share more about this in the next few weeks.
Secondly I was away for a long weekend to finally celebrate my 30th birthday, 18 months later!
I used to never make plans on a Sunday afternoon/evening or if I was away for the weekend I'd want to make sure that I was back relatively early so I could still prep my food for the week and feel really organised.
I still believe in planning and organisation but it's having the flexibility and fluidity to make it work for you.
Yes put your boundaries in place and protect your energy but also make sure you say yes to those experiences that are going to fill you with joy.
This weekend was one of those weekends!
We spent time with my family in Leeds and then went onto the Black Swan in Oldstead for the most amazing 10 course tasting menu.
This picture is from the very last course, an Apple Marigold Tart.
I think you can see how happy I am!
I've really noticed my spark come back these last few weeks, I hadn't really noticed it was gone, but I'm definitely noticing it's back.
If you've noticed something similar for yourself make sure you pay attention to what has brought that spark back for you and find ways to increase it!
I've been paying attention to what has helped me feel more joyful and I am going to be making some big changes off the back of those realisations!
