I am a little late in writing this weeks post as the weather was bad and my son asked me if I could drop him to work. All would have been fine except that... 

We were on a roundabout and the googlemap instructions were pretty clear. Then my son loudly said 'That way! that way!' I missed the junctio...

When it comes to tea I am quite fussy. 

I appreciate that there are many stereotypes around British people and their tea, and I unashamedly fit every single one. 

Last week I met a virtual friend in person and we spent a wonderful few hours together getting to know another dimension of each other ...

In a time of transition there are often things that occur which are settling and unsettling. The move from year end to the new year, or weekend to week, or night to day may provide opportunities for reflection. 

This weekend I have been completing materials for The Courage to Belong, a virtual...

It snowed in London today. One thing I love about a Sunday before going back to work is that cosy feeling of being at home sitting on the sofa with a hot cup of tea and be able to enjoy time while seeing little snow flakes land on the earth...

For many people this is the time they go back to work/u...

On the last Saturday before Christmas I ended up in Soho, London. Not for work or shopping... but for an intensive day of study to review a course I have been doing for 10 weeks. We were told that there would be no hot food or drinks available - partly due to a last minute venue change. And it start...

Last time I said I might write about renewal and letting go — having thought about several topics to share with you today I have ended up in the place where I ended last week, but through a different angle. 

Have you seen the video for the song 'All my love' by Chris Martin and Dick van Dyke? It wa...

I spent Monday and Tuesday delivering some coaching skills training in Athens, Greece. According to Google maps the hotel I was staying in was a 30 minute walk away from the Parthenon—I didn't have time to test this and will no doubt have to go back for another visit!

As I looked out from the roof...

As we go about our day to day we experience places, space, rooms, locations repeatedly. A few days ago as I was traveling through London I had a few minutes waiting at a train platform in Walthamstow Central station in east London. Being the curious soul that I am I was looking at what seemed like n...

Last Monday I did a brave thing.

'How are you practicing? I'd like to be part of a regular practice group for feedback and support.' Was a message I sent to the WhatsApp group for the advanced training I did.

Background is that in the last few weeks I completed two courses that have taken two year...

There is always an unexpected gift that we receive when we are in the area that we call home and we notice something new. Seeing things for the first time offers a joy, a new experience, new knowledge, something different... and when this happens in a familiar place it provides the opportunity for a...

What would you do if you were taking care of your human being? 

This is a great question that really made me pause to reflect. 

How might we access our human heart blanket? (see poem below in the ps)

Last week I wrote that I am 'always a student first', I was a touched by the replies as you shared as some of you related your own stories. As you will see today, I am always going to be a student first... and there is so much to learn! 

In the last two weeks I completed two big courses/learning op...
