I’ve had a ripe ole opportunity to practice patience and kindness while trying to fly to Canada these past few days. And trust me, trying is the key word here.
- delayed for 5 hours
- then cancelled
- 3 more hours queuing and waiting for transport
- another hour queuing at a hotel reception to be told there are no rooms left
- for a flight that was meant to be 6pm, my head hit the hotel pillow at 4am
- and I’m still trying to get to Canada!

Very kindly 2 complete strangers offered for me to share their room 💗. I witnessed passengers, tired, confused and frustrated holding their patience and holding their positivity and supporting one another. A kind word, a phone call to help, some conversation. It really warms my heart 💜

There’s so much good in the world, if you’re willing to see it ☺️. And this has been my experience through and through when lone travelling in the past. (And in many other situations!)

Don’t get me wrong, there’s space for the feelings, space for the frustration, but there’s also space for gratitude at the same time for something small.

What’s not going your way? And what could the silver lining be? What small thing can you be grateful for, and hold space for alongside the rest of your emotions?

Let me know in the comments!

My coaching practice has helped me through this, helped me to question my perspectives and turn a stressful situation into a calm (er) one ☺️…. If you’d like help with finding new perspectives coaching is ace for that. Check out the link in my bio for a session.

I’ve been having dream insights lately 😀 as in, I’m having little insights in the morning when I’m between dream and waking land….

This one came to me this morning as was diligently plotting my day finding ways to be most “productive”. This wasn’t particularly bringing me ease, joy, flow or peace - in fact I was starting to put myself into an over drive of DOING before I’d even started my day.

I realised, that there is time……. Time to enjoy being present, enjoy the sensation of laying in, and snuggling down and puppy cuddles 🥰 🐾 because if not now when?!? And I certainly don’t want to go through my life not having truly been present to and enjoyed these things.

What might you do differently if you viewed treasuring the small things as also being productive?

How would your day, or even the next hour, look if you knew that THERE IS TIME for these things?

Let me know in the comments. And if this something you’d like extra support with you can find a link in my bio to do just that.

Welcome to the newest member of our family 💗🐾 Robyn the rescue. She’s been steeling our hearts since she came home on Saturday.

She’d had a hard life before being rescued by the RSPCA, and she seems thrilled to have access to unlimited cuddles and playtime. So grateful that the RSPCA are out there standing up for these beautiful creatures ♥️.

I’m sure more pupdates will follow 😉

I want to say thank you in this post to who kindly coached me through one of the toughest decisions I’ve had to make recently.

Before our session it felt like no matter what choice I made I would upset someone, and I was swaying from one side of the pendulum to the other in a matter of seconds. Trying to understand the best choice for me and my family was exhausting and at times felt all consuming.

An hour later with Joanne, and BOOM decision made! Peace re-acquired! AANNND… the decision I came to feels grounded and resounds with my soul.

As a life coach myself I pride myself on using the tools I often teach to others, but sometimes what we really need (including me) is simply a new perspective. Someone that’s listening so deeply they’re able to read between the lines, and show you thoughts and feelings that reveal your deepest truths. 💗

I’m beyond grateful to have had this support. THANK YOU

Are you struggling with a decision like I was? Why not book a free session with me and we’ll do some untangling of our own 😉 (link to complimentary session in my bio)

This weekend I had a conversation with a friend about comfort. It got me thinking about how often I actually invite comfort into my life.

My answer to this question was, not enough. So this weekend I took steps to consciously choose comfort. Interestingly choosing comfort, was… uncomfortable. I struggled to switch off, struggled with guilt for not “achieving more” and struggled to enjoy being comfortable.

But the good news is, my dog has this down 😎🐾!!! So he’s been leading by example and I’ve been dropping in to his world. Being here, NOW. Being present, as much as I can muster. And it’s working!!

Is anything in your life a good example of presence? How can you spend more time noticing them/it? Ultimately I hope this leads you to more comfort.
