Making Happy Work by Mick Timpson landed on my doorstep at probably the most appropriate time. This year has started very differently to most. I hadn’t set goals, I hadn’t done a review of last year and to be honest, I have been totally overwhelmed by my “to do list”....
We are all guilty of it. Taking things personally. We read something on social media and think it’s aimed at us or when the comment is aimed at us, we worry that everyone else feels the same as that person. A few years ago, I read a book called “The...
How do you measure success? This is something I think about – probably far more than I should. I am the first to tell a friend how successful they have been, but know that I seem to set myself a much higher standard than I do for other. Does that...
If you look at Pinterest or Instagram or any social media, how often do you look and think how do these people seem to have it all. The House – amazingly decorated The Child – perfectly posed The Career – a success at all they seem to touch The body...
Today is World Kindness Day. I have to be honest, as a I type this, I am not feeling “kind” towards quite a few people. So I wanted to talk about how you change that mindset, so you are not just giving all your time and energy to the negative...

I love the beach, I may have mentioned it once or twice. On Friday we had to call into the new caravan park to sort out insurance and decided to have a walk down the beach along the beach wall. To get to a sandy beach is a 5 min drive...
Oh the excitement of a fun filled new project. I think we all need a new focus at times to lift us up and get us motivated again. For the last 12 months, I have been in a strange place emotionally. I couldn’t put my finger on what was wrong....
We all need some Me Time – I find though that staying indoors means I find jobs that need doing – laundry to go in, dishes to put away, cookers to wipe down, socks to pair (well maybe not). Me Time becomes Mum/wife/ So when I need me time, I...
Parenting, marriage, special needs, getting fit, healthy eating, journalling, productivity (with a side dish of procrastination) and mindfulness.
Come along and join me as I navigate the Chaos in Kent!
