Monday Moment: Change your story, change your life
‘In order to heal the world, we have to start telling a different story to ourselves. We have to start engaging in a different story with others. It’s our collective story that manifests as the world.’ Deepak Chopra Some of the most compelling stories we hear are from people who have changed the story they… (read more)
The Monday Moment: Go with YOUR flow.
‘Go with the flow’. It’s a phrase used often. What isn’t used so often but is actually much more pertinent is ‘go with your flow’. Listening to your own heart and soul and body, being mindful of your own rhythms, is so important even if you have deadlines to meet and a 9-5 job. We… (read more)
The Monday Moment: Letter to My Younger Self
I find much inspiration in O (Oprah) Magazine which I now subscribe to on my ipad. The latest issue is all about ageing gracefully and the ‘letters to your younger self’ article was particularly poignant. So I decided to write one and share it with you, and to invite you to write a letter to… (read more)
The Monday Moment: Pure Poetry
Last Tuesday I had the delight of speaking to the lovely ladies of Stubton and District Women’s Institute. Well it was more of a conversation really. Our subject was my route from horse addict to talk show host – how a little book (100 Ways to Live with a Horse Addict, which I wrote in… (read more)
The Monday Moment: The Power of Poo
This morning I spent an hour digging horse poo into the veggie patch in the rain. Mad? Maybe, but there was method in my madness. I went digging in the rain because I need some fresh-air thinking time. Tomorrow evening I am addressing the Stubton Women’s Institute meeting and I needed to think about how… (read more)
Monday Moment: Sharing the Love!
I was going to write a completely different Monday Moment today, but then my wonderful, twinkly friend Alison Knox sent me this link and it seems such an inspiring idea I decided to shelve my previous pondering and share this with you instead. How many global love letters could you send this week? The general… (read more)
The Monday Moment: Freedom to Bare Your Soul
This weekend I spent a fabulous day with eight wonderful women getting very messy with paint. We were all on a workshop ‘Dare to Bare’ facilitated by Sally Canning. Sally has been a friend for many years and her energy therapies have helped me release a lot of ‘baggage’. The series of workshops she has… (read more)
The Monday Moment: Every girl needs a champion
Over the last few days I have been on working on the first chapter of my book – my opus on the rhythms and cycles of a woman’s identity. I was writing about my brother, Jonathan, who died aged 19 when his motorbike skidded off the road. This was 35 years ago now and I… (read more)
The Monday Moment: Saying Yes!
This week I have started up my running again after taking the winter off. I only started this running thing last year, having foolishly committed to run 5km to fundraise for our local hospice. Up to that point running was something I did under sufferance at school and avoided at all other times. ‘I’m built… (read more)
Monday Moment: Your story. Six words.
In the 1920s, so the story goes, Ernest Hemingway bet ten dollars that he could write a complete story in just six words. He wrote: “For Sale: baby shoes, never worn.” In 2007 Larry Smith, founder of Smith, the American online magazine, used the Hemingway anecdote to inspire his readers to write their life story in… (read more)
