Ignite & Inspire: Facing your fears

When fear creeps up and I come face to face with it, I usually run to my bed. I crawl under the white duvet cover where it’s soft cotton wraps around my body and I can pull it all the way up over my head. I block the world out. I’ve spent many moments under…

    Good strategy, Lesley! I am sometimes fearful as well, but we’ll be stronger afterwards 🙂 xoxoReplyCancel

    love your honesty….and I do the same – feel like hiking under the covers when fear seems to creep in. Just by changing your thought patterns to positive ones, changes everything. (Positive) thoughts create reality.ReplyCancel

      I’m so happy you found it useful Stacie! I get so bogged down with my fears that I found this to be a great way to deter them. Let me know how it goes! 🙂ReplyCancel

My love letter – to you

Dear Beautiful Reader, The other day I was thinking about you, of your beautiful face illuminated by the blue screen of your computer, perhaps with a cup of coffee beside you, soaking in the words that I continue to write. I thought about how you continue to come back, sometimes lurking, sometimes leaving a comment…

  • […] I wrap myself in my favourite turquoise zippy and curl up with my laptop, ready to blog and write my thoughts away. But then, in the midst of the light dripping of rain, I stop. My thoughts are my thoughts, they are personal and a little selfish. I don’t want to be selfish, but someone who gives, encourages, and inspires. I know I say this a lot but it’s really true! I want to give to you, my beautiful readers! […] ReplyCancel

Daring to dream

A glass of rosé wine sits on the coffee table next me, enjoyed almost to it’s last sip, while I type frivolously on my laptop. So many thoughts, so many emotions; good ones, ones that set my passions on fire. I’ve been meeting and talking with so many supportive and encouraging women that I feel…

Woolen coats and heavy scarfs

The sun is shining today, playing against the houses down the street bouncing off one or the other, as if playing hide and seek. You can feel the cheer in the air as people are trying to decide between their dark woolen coats or a lighter spring jackets. Most people aren’t quite ready to trust…

Early Christmas

This year’s Christmas was like no other; it was full of emotions and many happy moments! The week of Christmas I wasn’t sure if Mister would be home for Christmas, as he got stuck at the Heathrow Airport due to crazy weather conditions. But he surprised me with an early morning text the day after…
