Look Up

A gorgeous friend told me about this poem and so today I watched it on youtube. You may have already seen it but it holds such an important message. Even though I use the web to communicate with you all, it is important to look up from our screens and join the world. It is also …

Sleeping Beauty

I have to say I am a massive advocate for sleep. Getting a good night's sleep is one of the most important things you can do for your overall health and well-being. Adequate sleep gives your body time and energy to recover from the day's stresses, and helps you to stay sharp and focused throughout …

Easter Treats

Happy Easter to everyone. Today I read this quote from one of my favourite authors. If you’re going to eat healthily do it because you love your life and want to live for a long time. Do it for those reasons. As opposed to doing it out of a fear of illness. Every choice I used …

Using the ‘W’ word

 On Saturday night a fellow widow and wonderful friend and I attended our first ever singles cocktail party. I spent the day feeling nervous and for the first time a little angry. When I married my best friend I thought it was forever. The night was interesting and an eye opener to say the least. For every …

Facing my fears

Stepping out of my comfort zone and facing my fears are tricky tasks to battle. Lately I have been outside my comfort zone considering the world of dating. This is a very unknown area for me. When I think of fear I think of the chairlift at Anacapri. I did not want to go on the chairlift for …

Let Go and be Happy

This week I read a story and I wanted to share it because for me it was very timely. Once upon a time there was a little sparrow, She loved to fly so high in the sky So innocent and free One day while flying She sensed an immediate threat Looking down, she saw a …
