Day 33 : Be Brave Challenge – ‘The Ultimate Super Power’

So I have been waking up 4 am for the last two days again… Can’t seem to understand the correlation to me feeling happy and then my body thinking “whoohooo I don’t quite need sleep anymore.” (Note to body: you do!) And I feel flu-like symptoms approaching, exactly one day after I joked with a …

Day 30: Be Brave Challenge – ‘Hot Loneliness’

I posted this video a while ago…but it really is one of my favourites. 🤗Glennon is so funny, so cute and so completely vulnerable (my new favourite word). I love how she describes the ‘hot loneliness’ of learning to sit with yourself rather than filling our lives up with distractions. 🍔🍕🍩🍫🍺🍹🏀🏋🏌📱💻📕📺💉🚬🎲🎸🚗 I was out visiting my Godmother …

Day 27: Be Brave Challenge – The Big Picture

I think today I made peace with being the proverbial cat lady. 😂 Although I have to admit they are very strange creatures that I don’t quite understand. I usually start with Pumpkin, as secretly, he is my favourite. 🐈 He sits on my lap the entire time I am there soaking up every bit of attention he can …

Day 17: Be Brave Challenge – Enneagram Part 3

The final part that I wanted to share with you was the enneagram passions. (http://enneagramdiscovery.com/passions/) To be honest I am not too sure how to explain the passions as I have not studied the Enneagram that closely. But I think the just, of it, is that each number essentially has their own passion that they …

For those of …

Day 11: Be Brave Challenge – Self Discipline

It’s been a weird two weeks doing this challenge. On the one hand, it’s been absolutely exhilarating actually just writing every day. I feel really proud of myself….still can’t believe I have actually kept it up for a WHOLE 11 days. 😁 On the other hand, it has completely knocked my sleeping pattern out of whack. I …

Day 8: Be Brave Challenge – High Value Man

Ok so just woke up from zombie apocalypse dream 💀👹😱😰…(Google dream interpreter says: “To dream that you are attacked by zombies can represent your fears of being helpless and overpowered.” Mmmm…..that sounds suspiciously like my love life ( I am going, to be honest…I wrote the post below on Monday morning…but then didn’t really have the guts to …

Day 2: Be Brave Challenge Conquering the Pole! (No not the North Pole;-)

I started pole dancing when I was 39. I have to be honest…I still completely suck😂. My amazing teacher would disagree with me…but then that’s cause she is an amazing teacher😍. I, unfortunately, have a bad back and granny knees which means I’m continually trying to navigate moves without pissing one of them off. I …

Day 1: Be Brave Challenge – And it Begins…..

 · Post 1  I absolutely love writing and storytelling. Last year, after my mum’s death I felt, understandably blocked. This year, thank goodness, things are starting to shift and I’m beginning to feel more like my old self again. I have to say I just adore Ralph Smart. He is quirky, a little crazy, positive, …
