Where to begin with a most wonderful Parisian adventure?

This particular journey began on a cold January day, after deciding that in this year of 25 acts of kindness dedicated to my mum’s memory (in recognition of it turning a quarter century since she died), it really must begin with something for my dad. A true inspiration and the parent any one would be lucky to have, especially when one of the people you loved most is no longer here.

But this was no simple matter of booking a flight or train ticket along with some accommodation. My dad, in all his 70+ years on the planet, has never been abroad and so we had to begin from scratch, with the aforementioned act number one involving me helping sort out his passport.

Less than four months later, here we found ourselves in unfamiliar territory in more ways than one, especially him, with a fair amount of Risking on Purpose involved for at least one of us. Nevertheless, side by side we navigated the unknowns together, overcame the challenges and enjoyed the highlights. Much as he has helped me to do in those intervening two and a bit decades, as my life has continued to be influenced and shaped by my mum’s absence and my grief for her.

Yesterday I stood in Notre Dame and had the opportunity to light a candle. It felt a very special moment to have my mum with us on this trip and acknowledge quietly that thanks to her we were able to share these unforgettable times.

I found it fitting earlier this week when having an in depth conversation about Protective Behaviours that I was asked about my hoody.

It is an old throwback to my days as a mainstream teacher when PBs was never on my radar and several years away from entering my consciousness.

I choose however to still where this item from time to time. As old and faded as it is, it serves as a useful reminder of who I was back then and the shy, avoiding the spotlight person who did not feel confident generally and certainly not comfortable elegantly challenging much at all.

It speaks to me of who I was and who I now am, with me crediting PBs as a major factor in my transformation.

Next time you see someone wearing something with an unfamiliar logo, perhaps it’s worth asking a question or two to discover an important part of their story.

First day of the holidays for some school staff might signal a lie-in or fairly chilled easy day.

Mine, however, involved a 3-hour exercise session to complete 17.3 miles. Not fun for everyone, indeed many, I would imagine but being able to travel long distances by my own two feet is hands down the best thing for my physical and mental health, especially when it’s combined with beautiful scenery like that of the Snowdonia National Park.

Wishing all who work in schools a fabulous Easter break, hopefully with at least one or two things which bring feelings of happiness, contentment, relaxation or top up your mental wellbeing ready for the last term of this academic year.

Showing up today with woolly hat to raise awareness of brain tumours and the need for increased funding.

This cruel disease has touched my life twice, first with my mum’s death during my teenage years and many years later when a pupil in my class had a similar condition.

Today I likely stand alone in my community, as an event we do not mark, yet I still believe the act of an individual like me can raise awareness and make a difference.

Wearing this outfit today especially in memory of my mum, Jeanette, and Ben.

I’ve come too far to stop anytime soon 😊

Just because you’ve never done something before doesn’t mean to say you can’t make a good attempt at it.

This weekend came the time to treat one of my best friends in return for the special time she arranged for me in Bucharest to celebrate my 40th birthday.

Whilst I’ve organised a fair few holidays in the UK, I haven’t ever done so oversees and it involved a fair amount of Risking On Purpose in planning our trip to Alicante. I felt many Early Warning Signs and even on Friday evening a shade of panic as to whether this would work out the way I hoped or be a disaster. Furthermore I felt a great degree of responsibility, even though my Protective Behaviours mindset reminded me I am only responsible to and not for everything or anything which happened.

In the end it was wonderful, a mix of sightseeing including a private tour to the Algar Falls and several hours on a warm sunny beach, with more than one paddle in the sea.

Some people might see it as a bit too much to fly away for just one night with work again on Monday but in all honesty I’ve come back rejuvenated for the last week of term and with a genuine gratitude for the special times I’ve had.

Celebrating four years today since I founded Time to Heal Together.

Big plans ahead to take certain aspects to the next level in the coming months and really hone in on my area of passion.

Being a Drawing and Talking Practitioner has opened up a great sense of purpose in supporting other adults who, like me, might not have accessed the therapeutic support they needed earlier in life.

It feels important on this day to send a grateful note of thanks once more to you, Sheree for your initial and ongoing mentoring and guidance- I don’t believe much if any of this particular journey would have been possible without you.

Rarely do I have fizz on a school night but I made an exception yesterday after some very exciting news.

An opportunity is now looming to take some of my knowledge, skills and experience to a bigger level than I ever have before, on more of a national than local reach, and if that isn’t worth some home celebrations then I don’t know what is.

I have thought throughout my career there is nothing overly special about who I am or what I do- in my opinion I’m just an ordinary kind of person with a high degree of focus, passion and purpose. Nevertheless something like this, as with all my Protective Behaviours opportunities, leaves me feeling that maybe others see in me something I often don’t and helps me believe there is more than I give myself credit for.

Sometimes in the most unexpected places you can find a reminder of hope, beauty and the potential for growth.

I’ve been on something of a reset these last few days, choosing to minimise my time on platforms and have felt many benefits of doing so. Nevetheless, the post I knew I’d write when the time felt right is this one today about this little flower growing amongst the weeds.

As I stood here at my mum’s grave on Sunday I noticed those pretty purple flowers gently and quietly asserting their presence (or so it seemed to me). A tidy up will happen soon but not that day, as there was something for me so apt in the awareness that even in the places, events and situations which can evoke our biggest emotions, such as grief, there is the opportunity to look from an alternative perspective and recognise the potential for learning, awareness, and transformation of the deepest kind.

My life was undoubtedly changed for ever nearly 25 years ago when my mum died and I continue to live with the effects all these later. However, choosing to use various strategies to understand my emotions and why some events can still feel very difficult has indeed promoted previously unimaginable changes in myself so that I have bloomed not only personally but professionally too.

I wonder how many of us remember a day when we really surpassed our previous limits or beliefs of what we could achieve?

One of my most significant was three years ago today when I completed my first ultramarathon- 32 miles by foot. I still remember the joy and elation at doing something I once thought I could never do and it really cemented for me how anything is possible with effort, hard work and the right attitude.

I’ve gone on to do two further ultras, choosing again to push myself to new achievements over 35 and then 40 miles. Running over these kinds of distance is as much mental as physical and I believe you come back changed after taking on something like this.

Whilst I have no current plans to ever go further than 40, I’ll never say never- as this word no longer exists in my vocabulary after too many experiences in which I had mistakenly used it due to doubting my own abilities, skills, or capacity to learn. Such as…

“I’ll never work in Early Years… “ (first teaching post ended up being in a Nursery)

“I’ll never teach above Year 2… “(currently teaching KS3 pupils)

“I’ll never be good at speaking in front of people (regularly present to groups of 20+ people).

Perhaps it’s more accurate to use the growth mindset approach and work out the steps we can take to move along the pathway towards the dream or goal. Or, using Protective Behaviours, choosing to Risk on Purpose because the perceived outcome is worth the discomfort we might experience along the way.

Mother’s Day cards left on my desk, a mention of it on the radio, flowers in the supermarket - it’s not possible to avoid all the triggers at this time of year.

What I continue to learn though is which Protective Interruptions help me to most safely navigate the big emotions which surface at this time of year.

A new one I’ll be trying this time around is stepping away from my socials on Sunday- for I neither need or want to see the flood of posts about how special various people are or be reminded that Mother’s Day is tough for some people for various reasons.

24 years on since I last got to give my mum a card, I’ll be marking her this year quietly but in a way which holds meaning for me- acknowledging the sadness at her absence but honouring her ongoing legacy and memory.

Food features a lot in my workplace meetings and today’s offering was this flapjack.

Sharing something sweet at the end of a day is for me an important act, providing time to pause and recharge before the next task.

Perhaps less overt is the hidden message behind the bakes: I care enough about your wellbeing to spend my time, money and effort in making something for you to enjoy.

I believe workplace wellbeing isn’t built in fancy documents or elaborate gestures but rather in the small acts of kindness we show each other on a regular basis.
