Wandering around in a boutique recently, a lady came up to me and asked ‘am I too old for this?’

She held up a pretty green and white dress. A sleeveless tea-dress style with a full skirt. It was lovely. And she had a beautiful smile as she smoothed the fabric against her.

‘Absolutely not!’ I quickly exclaimed. Going on to encourage her to try it on. And to wear whatever she wanted. How lovely it was etc!

She dithered. Thanked me. But I could see she wasn’t convinced.

I tried on a cardigan. Bought it and left.

The lady was still hovering around, asking another woman. A younger woman. ‘Am I too old?’

I wonder if she gave herself permission to wear something she’d obviously fallen in love with.

There’s no rules to follow, Dearheart. Just wear whatever makes you feel good.

My dad hated animal prints. My eldest daughter inherited the gene 😉 Guess who adores animal prints? Am I too old? F**k no!

Enjoy life. Buy the bloody dress.

PS it was on sale 😁

The script (the negative voice in our heads) whispers ‘not good enough.’ And ‘try harder.’ Ooh, and ‘do more.’

Instead of reacting with frantic energy. Falling into its trap. I’m choosing to wrap myself with grace and space.

I’m choosing ‘go little.’ Pausing. Breathing a little more deeply. Grounding. Lifting my head up.

Being here now.

Join me!

The sun enters Ta**us and we begin to feel the grounding energies as we leave fiery Aries. Slow down but keep moving. Notice the beauty around you. Allow healing.

I love and approve of myself. Even when I look like a gnome!

Seven years ago I took an instagram course…my photos were of course splendid. I slapped on the make-up, wore my best dresses, did my hair (even using hairpieces.) Hats, champagne glasses, fancy!

Framed photos to look glam. It was super fun. But it takes a toll. Someone takes a quick snap and you don’t look (or feel) fab. And a nasty little spiral begins…🌀😵‍💫

Down…

I also found I laughed a lot at the ‘out-takes.’ Like when when I fell over (more than once!) My teacher didn’t like me to share those.

But they were all part of who I really am. Just like you Dearheart, I’ve many facets. Like diamonds!

I gave up the ‘Instagram perfect’ and got real. My teacher? She went on the Fans Only route. 😳

Along the way, I’ve learned to love and approve of myself. Try it…you’ll like it.

Look up lovely! Even on grey days the sun is shining above the clouds.

Three years ago I could barely function. But there were still moments when I laughed. I kept looking for beauty in the ordinary. Some days easier than others.

The wonderful thing is that the more you practice looking for good stuff, the better you get at it. And the more you see.

The not-so-good and the downright horrendous doesn’t disappear. However its ability to drag you into a terminal abyss dissipates.

So today, I’m looking up and choosing to see things that make me smile 😊

Join me.

It’s all in the details! A heart, a Buddha, a moment’s pause and reflect.

It’s not about religion. I also pause and reflect at churches, trees, children playing. But to me it is spiritual. We connect with the WE.

And step away from the ME. And it simply lifts my spirit.

Noticing the magic around us has become a delightful way of life. Try it!

I’ve always liked to remind myself that when one door closes another one opens. That the road less travelled is the way to go.

When the majority are going in one direction, pause and watch for a while. I usually find there’s another direction for me.

I also used to believe that contentment was settling. But found I was addicted to chaos instead.

I’m now on the wagon. And love living without the chaos drug!

Contentment is my baseline. I haven’t given up my reminders, in fact they strengthen with time. But I’ve found comfort in being genuine.

Following my path through life has always been the way. Now there’s more peace. The highs and lows still wash like waves. But that baseline is always there to return to.

Wanna come along with me?

Big love 💕

There’s comfort in the familiar. The same routines. Knowing exactly what comes next. But two thoughts come to mind…

We never know what’s next. The best laid plans in the world can change in a heartbeat. One phone call. A swerve in the road.

Secondly, life becomes a bit boring. Same old, same old. We lose the magic.

So instead of waiting for the 💩 to hit the fan moments, and to retain magic, we need some chosen change.

As my mentor teaches ‘happiness and unhappiness are waves on the ocean of contentment.’ Contentment the goal, we choose to get out of our comfort zones.

And choose to experience life. Makes sense?

It can be as simple as choosing to take a different walk or drive to the shops. Perhaps a different grocery store? Change it up. Who knows what you may find.

Do something new. Is there something you’d love to learn? Perhaps a craft or sport, or for me right now I’m learning a new language.

And travel Dearheart. Get out of your own town and explore somewhere new to you. A bus or train ride just because you can!

You never know what you might find or who you may meet. Here’s me with Paddington, stopping off for a marmalade sandwich at Cardiff Castle.

Order something different from the menu. Literally and figuratively.

You’ll laugh more. You’ll live more. What will you choose today?

Big love 💕
