can we have more of more than enough?!?
Happy Friday! This week I attended the first live training module of the executive coaching and mentoring course I am enrolled in at Bangor University. Now apart from hearing about the three 5,000 word papers I’ll have to write (those darn nerves I experienced all too often throughout high school and university flooded right […]

Happy Friday! We all have those people in our lives that lift us up, help us to see the positive, raise our energy levels. And they’re great! We all need and love having people in our lives who make us feel good. I mean, who doesn’t? On the other side of the coin, I am […]
Read Morewhat makes you happy?
Happy Friday! Okay, so although the sheer fact that it’s Friday is enough of a reason to bring a smile to my face, it’s not enough to make me happy right down to my core. And plus, Friday only comes around once every seven days. And I don’t want to be happy only one day […]
Read Moredo what you’ve always done; get what you’ve always got
Happy Friday! Happy Friday, Happy St. David’s Day (a Welsh Saint!), and Happy March 1st. A new month, a new beginning. And the first day of the last month of the first quarter of the year! A perfect day to check in with how we are doing in terms of what we want to create […]
Read Morepleasing others or serving others?
Okay, I’ll admit it, I tend to be a bit of a people pleaser. And although I have come a long way, I still do certain things in an effort to make others happy. To make others like me. To save face. Not that there is anything necessarily […]
Read Morehave a little love, give a little love…
(and not aimed solely for the sweethearts out there! read on…) So in the spirit of Valentine’s week, I thought it pertinent to talk a little bit about love. No, we shouldn’t need an excuse to do so, and yes, perhaps it is largely a Hallmark holiday or a strategic attempt to boost the flower […]
Read MoreWhat’s the rush?
Happy Friday! So you may be wondering, ‘is she posing this question to the outside world, or to herself?’ After all, I have been known, on one or more occasions, to be in just a tad bit of a rush as I go through my days. Allow me to indulge in a few old ‘happy […]
Read MoreI mean really, what is perfect anyway?
Happy Friday! (image found at empowernetwork.com) And happy Feb. 1st ~ the first of a new month! A ‘perfect’ day to bring up the theme I would like to discuss. Imperfection. And more specifically, imperfect action. There have been times in my life where I will admit I have been a bit of a perfectionist. […]

And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years. ~ Abraham Lincoln Happy Friday! Most years on my birthday, I allow myself to spend precious time and energy thinking about all that I have not yet accomplished. ‘I can’t believe I’m already x years old […]

Happy Friday! Warm coffee in my hands, Sky above nice and blue – Happy Friday to me, and Happy Friday to you! A little poem for your reading pleasure. I thought it apropos as right now we are en route to our family holiday home in Pevensey Bay, where my younger sis has organized a […]

Happy Friday! And Noswaith dda (that means good evening in Welsh!) from a grey, but rain free Wales. That’s right folks, the rain does cease to fall every once in a while. Hallelujah. In fact, two days this week Mr. Sun decided to shine his face! It was a welcome sight, let me tell you. And even […]
Read Moredespite the rain, choose to see the sun
Okay, I’m going to let you all in on a little secret. Some days, I don’t always feel completely and wholly and utterly as happy as my Happy Friday greeting seems to suggest. Some days, I don’t always feel as happy as I would like to be, as happy as I feel […]
