There’s something about groups of people that can really bother me. It all begins with someone dropping something unkind into a conversation.

Perhaps some gossip they’ve picked up. Or judging someone, be it their clothes, life choice, body shape. You name it!

Or they want to steer the conversation to preach their political views. Ugh!

And my least favourite when they want to recount all of life’s potential horrors. Let’s talk soon and gloom…you know what I mean?

Some people just voice their opinion and expect others to engage.

That’s when I go quiet. 🤫

If you haven’t got anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. Words to live by.

Now, if you wanna chat about how magical life is and how amazingly beautiful people are…I’m in! You with me or what?

Big love 💕

Definitely today’s mood for me. As overwhelm hit, I took a moment to breathe deeply. Slow my heart rate and my anxious thoughts.

I started with pulling a tarot card. Choosing to go within for a little guidance. To the office:

Tackling the pile of emails I’d been studiously ignoring, I felt a surge of relief.

Moving on to updating my calendar and noting this week’s astrology, I decided I’d earned a nice cup of tea.

Duplicate photos on one-drive driving me nuts…deleted a whole bunch. Aha! I’d hit my stride.

Clear, calm and coping. My morning now 30 minute units. 25 minutes to do, 5 minutes to be.

A candle now lit. I’m off to clear the sink. With a light heart.

Pause for a moment and reflect on your day. Ease and joy are possible when we choose.

Big love 💕

A little tea magic today.

Also works with coffee 🤭

The work of Masuro Emoto demonstrates how water crystals are affected by our thoughts and emotions. Scientific proof of the power of intention and consciousness.

So put a little love into your beverage. Be present. And allow the magic to manifest.

What are you wishing into your tea or coffee today?

Big love 💕

Happiness always returns.

So even if you are feeling down in the dumps have hope!

Because...happiness always returns.

Maybe it's because it misses us!

Choose to have a happy day...xox

Reminder that we’re a global community and that’s a blessing

Technology has been getting a bashing. And at times, rightly so. But it’s also an amazing gift.

One of my ‘brothers from another mother’ celebrated his birthday in Birmingham. I joined him for a celebratory beverage from my terrace.

This morning I spent time chatting with a friend in a completely different time zone to me. We’ve begun planning our next adventure together.

Yes, we need to look up from the screens. But we also need to acknowledge how close relationships can continue to flourish and grow with the gift of technology.

Next week I get to spend time with people I first met online. They become mentors and chosen family. My tribe. And…I get to meet some new people too!

Don’t let the screen stop you from looking up and connecting. Our global community is a blessing.

Big love 💕

Shame doesn’t do us any favours. I know I’m always banging on about owning all our emotions. But I may have found an exception here.

How come?

Shame is a nasty voice in our head that tells us we’re sh*t. We aren’t. We may have done things we regret. That’s absolutely normal. We all mess up at times. And we may have down on ourself moments.

So, this is it. We may do 💩 things. But that doesn’t make us 💩

When shame creeps in, tell it to do one! Own your behaviour. Change it. If appropriate, apologise. Get therapy. Talk it out with a friend. One who isn’t going to shame you.

We all have difficult days. Don’t let shame make it even harder.

And move on knowing you’re doing a fabulous job learning as you go.

Big love 💕

Swap out the latte for a nice cuppa tea and I’m in heaven.

What are you up to? How’s the autumn sliding into winter for you?

It’s a great journal prompt! But even if you can’t be bothered to write, have a think. What’s bringing you joy right now?

Do some of that!

Big love 💕
Jacqueline



Sweatpants & Coffee thank you for the inspiration 🙏🏻

If in doubt, just choose to be fabulous! One size fits all and it doesn’t cost anything.

I do believe in goodness. In kindness. In love. Compassion for each other.

These are the people I keep around me. My circle. So, yes, I believe.

There are some people who bully. Are cruel. Feel better about themselves when they inflict hurt on others. They can all f**k off. (Yes, I’m a bit sweary today.)

But the bullies, narcissists and fantasists are hurting too! Meh, 😑 I used to hold space for them. Now I hold that space for me. Their journey is theirs.

My circle is complete with kindness. Sure, there’s room for more. But I’ve become selective. Putting my needs first.

As my brother would say ‘about f**king time.’

Stay fabulous. Be kind. Check your circle.

Big love 💕
Jacqueline
