I haven't written a blog since January, despite telling my clients to write one each month! It's been a chaotic and sad few months with the death of my lovely dad at 87 years of age in February, my son flying off to Australia to play rugby in March, my daughter about to sit her GCSE's and combing all of this with running a small business and life in general. Having trained as a mindfulness teacher over the past few years, www.calmermindhappierlife.com it has proved invaluable in dealing with the change and pacing myself at work and coming to terms with all...

Back after Christmas but still coughing and spluttering after nearly 3 weeks of this dreadful cold/flu thing. Lots of new projects in the pipeline and yesterday I gave myself a little 'well done' sticker to put in my diary for getting through the day. I guess it helps working from home that I can snuggle up and keep warm and if need be have a break. But I'm sure I'll be fine! I have a few things I still need to catch up on as although I was online a little over Christmas I simply didn't feel well enough to...

Xtremevan's old website had been causing them many issues for several years and I started...

I think I'm over yesterday, snow, sun, rain, wind, snow, sun... Beautiful walk this morning in the chilly sunshine, always a good start to the day. My mind is full of projects, things at home, my father-in-laws impending funeral and all the dancing and singing my daughter does, alongside checking on my elderly parents, it's their chiropodist appointments this afternoon, and I thought life with toddlers in tow was tricky, that was nothing to this time of my life.  But I must say I feel the best I have probably felt in about 20 years, mentally and physically, although I'm only...
