COMMUNITY WORK
My talk next week that I'm planning for TikTok, an idea I've had for a while, actually speaking on TikTok each week, is about acceptance. When we can accept something in our life that is what it is and we decide to let it go, accept it or acknowledge it, it can open all kinds of new avenues and opportunities. I did this my self a few weeks ago, accepting that some work I'd been doing for a number of years simply was no longer serving me well and I also decided it wasn't the kind of stress I needed in my life so it opened my mind up to look at more avenues for my mindfulness but in the community. I have a new client now in place because of that and it has lead me to a number of organisations, platforms and websites I never knew were out there and many more opportunities. I will post on TikTok this week and begin talking about mindfulness from next week, my account is called 'Chats from my pink chair.'
GOLD STAR - 15th Oct
Yesterday I met a new client who I will be supporting in her home, in Leicestershire. We hit it off immediately and I was very touched on my way out to be awarded a gold star! I also have a love of stickers so it was warmly received. I will be working with this lady who has complex needs one afternoon a week in her home to support her socially, mentally and emotionally.
ACCEPTANCE - 1st Oct
On X and LinkedIn today I've shared a post about acceptance.
A little mindfulness for this Thursday morning.
Acceptance: The sooner you can accept a situation for exactly what it is, not what you want it to be, not what it has been in the past but what it is today, no matter how difficult it is, you set yourself free from hours, days and weeks of more worrying, questioning, inner torture and upset. By accepting a situation you allow yourself to move forward and perhaps deal with it or manage it better, more efficiently or more calmly.
A GROUP FOR WOMEN
I have now settled on a date and time for the first meeting. Tickets will go on sale for £15 on Tue 15th Sept. Feel free to email me any questions or see the page relating to this group in the main menu for more info.
Children's Books
I'm pleased to say I've added my children's confidence-boosting books back on to this website. The Swimming Lesson and Football Game are now both available t purchase online. Postage £1.97 in the UK.
I now embark on my 3rd book, very different from previous two.
MAY 18TH 2026
Back and refreshed from a little break and ready to launch my mindfulness support for breast cancer. More information on the website. As with all my session's, they are mostly online, offering you support emotionally to cope better with all aspects of your life.
Mindfulness 1:1 29th Nov
All set for this morning's online mindfulness session, the 4th for this client. Meetings can be ad-hoc or weekly if you feel you need that level of support. Although my office is quite, and I'm always alone, I like wearing earphones, so that if there are any outside noises, hopefully no knocks at the door, as I put a notice on the door, it blocks them all out from our conversation and keeps us on track and focused.
Helping 18th Nov
It is a wonderful feeling, hearing, and knowing that you've helped someone. So it is great to get some very positive feedback and hear a client say they want to see you next week too. Through practical mindfulness therapy, people begin to understand what they're reality actually is and not what they think it might be next week or next month or what it was years ago. I've been covering aspects of people's pasts, even simple things which knowling are holding them back. Realising you're not that person anymore and all kinds of things are said to us when we are younger, enables us to find some peace with it and live more in today with a much clearer and happier path forward.
It takes practice, lots of it, to keep telling yourself and understanding that you can change the way you think, feel, and respond, and by reminding yourself that in this moment in time... you're ok.
Bark 28th Oct 2025
I've re-activated my Bark.com this week. Seeking to engage with new clients in need of practical support. I joined originally for my design business about 8 years, and now focus solely on Mindfulness. Excited to listen to and assist people in improving their daily coping mechanisms.
A walk and talk in-person meeting.
I am pleased to meet up with a client this week for our second in-person meeting. I want to understand how they have progressed since our initial discussion, where they seemed very open to addressing obstacles and seeking happiness after a difficult year. The core discovery was accepting all that had happened in their lives and the realisation that, in order to move on, they needed to find peace and not wish for it all to be different.

IF YOU NEED HELP RIGHT NOW
In the meantime, if you need a quick fix, if it's all getting too much for you, consider getting outside and going for a walk. Take a few deep breaths before you head out, absorb the sounds around you, the freshness of the air, and the simple peace it brings, if only for a short time.
