Thirty plus years ago a man entered my life who would change me forever.

He made me realise that I had the whole world in my hands and that I had value.

He told me I can where others had said you can't.

That man is my amazing husband David, who has supported me and my family all these years.

A kind, quiet, unassuming man, gentle, supportive and generous in every way.

Today his is birthday, and we are spending the day with family, nothing fancy or elaborate, but quite simply - what he would like to do. The celebrations may also creep over the weekend too.

So no more from me today, see you in Monday, have a great weekend.

👉🏻 Facts for a Friday 👈🏻

How are the individual remedies made? Many people have asked and here is the answer - just as it was years ago!

🌱 There are two methods - one is the sun method and the other is the boiling routine. The sun method is unique to Dr Bach and the process follows placing the flowering heads of the plants on a smooth surface in a small bowel and fill with pure spring water. The bowl is then left in the sun for up to 3 hours and during this time the water is filled with the healing properties of the plant. The heads are then drained off and the liquid is then preserved in Brandy and this becomes known as the Mother Tincture. This process applies to 18 of the remedies

🌱 The second method is the boiling process, the flowers we use for this process are mostly those from the trees although not all of them, Short lengths of twigs filled with the flower or catkins are collected and boiled in sprint water for half an hour and then left to cool, as before these are then discarded and then the brandy is added to preserve the liquid. Thus giving some more Mother Tincture.

This work is still carried out at the Bach Centre in Mount Vernon in Oxfordshire just as it was in the 1930's when Dr Bach first started to produce them. The only two remedies that are not produced in the UK are the Olive and Vine - naturally we don't grow enough of these to sustain the work that we need. ❓

We are then left with some large bottles of Mother Tincture which are labelled and marked as to precisely where the flowers have come from, which tree or shrub, what date and other necessary details. 💓

Now these are sent to Nelsons in Wimbledon who carry out the careful process of producing the "stock bottles" we see on our shelves today and which I use to provide you with your individual remedies. 💓

"If it helps, take it. That’s the whole point of healing."❗

I’m often asked whether people can use Bach flower remedies alongside other approaches. The honest answer is yes. Always.

I’m not anti anything that helps someone feel better. Just because I work with Bach flower remedies doesn’t mean they have to be your only support. ❤

There is no prize for struggling longer than you need to.🌿

If something eases your anxiety, supports your emotions, or helps you cope day to day, then it deserves a place in your toolkit. Healing is personal, not political.

This is about finding what works for you, not fitting into a box or following rules made by someone else.🌿

If you’d like gentle, personalised support that fits around your life and your choices, I’m here. Learn more or get in touch via Remedies by Ros 🌿

☀️ Are you a procrastinator?

Let's be honest - I think there is a little bit of a procrastinator amongst us all.

We all do it. That long to-do list sits quietly while we scroll, snack, tidy, or just… stare into space.

🙃 I have a pile of filing that I need to sort and deal with but it's just something I can't face - even when I need something that is in there. Thankfully it got done at the weekend.

🌿 And then comes the guilt, the pressure, the stress - and ironically, even less motivation.

If you’re a procrastinator (or love someone who is), here’s the truth, procrastination isn’t laziness. ❗

It’s frequently an indicator of any of the following emotions: - overwhelm. fear, perfectionism, exhaustion and sometimes, just the sheer weight of everything. 😔

So how can we help ourselves - and each other - to get past the procrastination and stir some motivation?

✅ Start ridiculously small. One task. One email. One five-minute chunk. Starting small lowers resistance, and momentum follows.

✅ Revisit your “why.” Why does this task matter? What does it connect to? Purpose fuels action far better than pressure.

✅ Structure gently. Break the day into realistic blocks - this is essential - and makes life so much easier. Put the hard thing next to the easy thing. You're human, not a machine.

✅ Talk it out. A quick call, a voice note to a friend, or even writing down the block can bring clarity. Often, what we avoid isn’t the task - it’s the emotion behind it.

✅ Celebrate progress, not perfection. Did you do something today? That’s a win. You showed up, and that matters.

✅ Motivation isn’t always a lightning bolt - it’s a spark you can rekindle, slowly, with kindness and patience. We don’t need to conquer the whole list in one day. Just take the next small step.

So here’s your gentle reminder: You’re doing better than you think. And it’s okay to begin again - right now, right here. 💓

Just remember to plan this into your diary every day. ☀️

❗ ❗ How have we arrived in February! Shock horror another month gone. What happened ❓

Well I started off with great intentions but was seriously hit with the wonderful cold cough virus that would just not go away.

Two days in succession I got up to take David to his volunteering work (he doesn’t drive because of his eyes – so chauffeuring is compulsory) – came home and went back to bed! One day he rang to discover that I had been asleep, I was late for the return trip! Never in 30 years of marriage have I gone back to bed like that – utterly washed out and horrible. 😢

✨ Gradually over the latter part of January, I have felt stronger but it has left me feeling very run down and also incredibly guilty – for the first time in my life I have left clients waiting and not been able to see them – remedies have gone in the post later as I haven’t been well enough to get to do them. 🤔

🌿 The perils of being self employed and especially when the business quite simply is Just you – it is a vulnerable position to be in but we are ok now.

I also had some rather sinister activity that has occurred on my Linked in account and some rather underhand bullying tactics from someone in the business world. It has all left me feeling incredibly low. 😮

Last Friday was a day and whilst I was at Last Friday Club - Chichester networking a close friend happened to be “too” nice to me (you know when the right words are said and the hug is too long) – and the whole horrid story came out. 🙃

Anyway, I am looking forward to February with a spring in my step – two family birthdays this month – new volunteering dates in the diary, renewed strength after a quiet weekend and I am half way through my own remedies.

🌿 🪴 Here are my remedies 🌳 Oak for the exhaustion, 🌱 Star of Bethlehem – to recover from the business trauma, Larch to boost my confidence, 🌳 Elm to relieve the overwhelm regarding work, 🌿 Gorse for the sense of despair and 🌱 Pine for the guilt of letting people down. I never let anyone down so it is such an alien thing for me.

These are helping and the strength is returning – looking forward to February and new of some real success in the next few weeks

Yes, it was upsetting but it was so much better out than in.

❗How tired are you really?

❓Do you wake feeling tired and finding it a real effort to get up?

If you have a family living with you then getting up is imperative, but if you are feeling tired and the body is heavy then naturally that is not much fun. 🥲

Do you have quality sleep? Do you go to sleep and then wake in the middle of the night?❓

I really would love to know how tired some of you are and understand the level of tiredness that there is around.

Coming to the end of January - and with the dull and wet weather can create a feeling of exhaustion sometimes it can be linked to SAD, but if you can at least attempt to get out for a walk even for 10 minutes it will help

Also a cat nap in the afternoon can often revive the senses - in Europe it's almost compulsory - and very worth while.

There is a need to recognise your levels of tiredness - as sleep deprivation can damage your health.

These tips may help:-
⭐Try to go to bed half an hour earlier
⭐Take away the blue screens for at least an hour before bed
⭐Listen to your body - don't fight it - your body will win sadly
⭐Ask for help to reduce your workload
⭐If your sleep is disturbed then look at why - it could help. If you are woken by daylight try blackout linings, if external noise is a problem then try some earplugs.
⭐If there are medical reasons chat to the GP, sleep is a huge problem for women in menopause but there are ways that you can have help.
⭐If going to sleep is a problem I would recommend the Bach Flower Night Rescue remedy - it will help sleep within a very short time.

🌿Dr Bach also gave us the most amazing remedy for exhaustion which is Oak - which will help you to feel less tired and more able to relax and to help getting to sleep the remedy is White Chestnut to stop the constant unwanted thoughts. This stops the mind monkey totally and enables you to sleep peacefully.

Here is my blog to tell you more about the remedies and how they can help to ease your tiredness.

Facts for a Friday❤

How are the individual remedies made? Many people have asked and here is the answer - and it is still the same today.

🌟There are two methods - one is the sun method and the other is the boiling routine.

The sun method is unique to Dr Bach and the process follows placing the flowering heads of the plants on a smooth surface in a small bowel and fill with pure spring water.

☀️The bowl is then left in the sun for up to 3 hours and during this time the water is filled with the healing energies from the flower. The heads are then drained off and the liquid is then preserved in either alcohol or glycerine and this becomes known as the Mother Tincture. This process applies to 18 of the remedies.

☺️ Confidence isn’t about being the loudest voice in the room, it’s about believing in your own ability and trusting yourself.

Over the past few weeks since Christmas I have heard of so many capable, talented people who are quietly struggling with low self-esteem.

🤔 They are questioning their abilities, hesitating to put themselves forward, or feeling less confident than those around them - even when they have more experience than others.

🌿 As a Bach Flower Practitioner, I support individuals who experience low confidence or self-esteem using gentle, natural flower remedies that work on an energetic level.

One key remedy often used in these situations is 🌿 Larch, which is there to strengthen self-belief restore your inner strength, and to develop the confidence to recognise and develop personal talents.

We can also blend the Larch remedy with other remedies, such as 🌿 Elm, 🌿 Mimulus and 🌿 Aspen which together create a Bach Flower blend that may help to:

· Encourage self-belief and emotional resilience
· Ease the overwhelm
· Remove the fears of the unknown and known
· Reduce feelings of inadequacy or self-doubt
· Support a more positive, capable mindset
· Help you look at the challenges they face with confidence and clarity

☀️ I offer a free 20-minute exploratory conversation to discuss how this could support you or someone you care about.

If this resonates, or if you know someone who could benefit from renewed confidence and self-belief, please feel free to connect or message me.

What an incredible week so far - it's Wednesday and herenis an update as to how brilliant it's been with some truly wonderful people.

We woke to an early start on Monday at the Christian Youth Centre at Chidham right on the edge of Chichester Harbour - thank you to Tobias Stathers for putting on a brilliant event - great conversations, a fabulous venue and so much more to come.

Then in the afternoon - we had a beautiful time at St Wilfrid's Hospice Chichester. I am lucky enough to have had a long association with this hospice both in their old home and with the new one - it was so wonderful to see it now with gardens all developed and the exterior weathering in the way it should - when it was first built the exterior was quite stark - now it's truly wonderful. Thank you Christine Gillott and Lois Howell and also to Steve Cockerell (for the reminder) such a brilliant afternoon.

Yesterday morning also had a different start - up with a spring in my step - to join Berdene Kilbride for the Chichester Netwalking Group - a great group of lovely friends and business mates - so supportive and uplifting. Thank you also to Max and Happy for providing the canine entertainment.

It was so wonderful to see my great friends and business colleagues - thank you for the support - Knowles-Ley Tamzin Hall 🟡🟢l🔴🔵Elizabeth Storton Andy Hara Jodie Stubbington Claire Lindley MCIPD Gayle Tong Janet Webb Chartered MCIPD Emma Bayley Cheryl Tyson Karen Baker Katie Selves Flo Dudley-Barritt Ian Gardiner Johnny Lancaster Trevor Adams and Chris Mansfield.

I would add that a lot of work has also happened as well - there is something really exciting happening with the Hormones on the blink world as well but that will be revealed at a later date.

Oh and the photo of the blue sky was taken at 4.15pm yesterday afternoon - the days are getting longer - summer is on its way.

This morning off for Chichester Chamber of Commerce meeting and then some wonderful clients to see.
