Whilst this sounds like one of those blindingly obvious statements, it is amazing just how often we do not do so. Often when making a plan for the future, we actually start from where we would like to be or indeed the plan was where we believe we should be. ‘Should’ is an important word […]
It might seem like an arse-backwards phrase but it strikes me increasingly, that whilst we might extend love or kindness and friendship to others, and they in return to us, we often behave in an opposite manner internally towards ourselves. Where we would treat clients with unconditional positive regard, we often judge ourselves hardest. Where […]
Reading of Stacey Bendet and her ‘return to work 6 days after giving birth to her 3rd child’ in Forbes. It was was not the time-frame of her return that struck me but something else. As an individual who is standing up for her right to parent in her own way, I was intrigued to […]

Be it procrastination or the sheer overwhelming number of tasks in a day, sometimes it is difficult to know where to begin. A blank canvas, a relocation, a blog to write on the run, it’s usually fear that prevents humans from getting it done. We can worry and plan and stress and resist for as […]
I never ‘got’ that word when I was small. Somehow when I heard it said of me I would understand somehow that I was ‘different’ from other people and inherent within that was a separateness. It seemed as if others stood together and I stood apart, alone? I only write of this now because I […]
