I think this is probably surprising to many people because I appear to be celebrating everything in life all the time. Especially with a drink. But every time I do any sort of wheel of life, review of life type program, I come up with really low scores in this area. I’m therefore putting in […]

TIPS TO FEEL IN AWE OF YOURSELF
Both my August goals are now ticked off – its 9 August. Both things scared me. I didn’t want to do either. I felt sick beforehand. I felt scared, nervous, pathetic, a fraud, out of my league, a little stupid for trying – all the things we go through, which is totally normal, when we […]
My most excellent happy week
So it’s Sunday morning. The sun is flooding past my bedroom window. I can see blue sky forever. And I feel so happy. Why is that? What was different about this week? Achievement, health and out of comfort zone I am going to say. Monday Did so much work. Loving my job. Just feeling on […]
Is sacrifice worth it? Hell yes!
Why would someone choose sacrifice? It sounds desperate. Like you don’t have a choice. That there is scarcity instead of abundance in the world. That we can’t have it all. But, by jove, I think I’ve got the point. I’ve changed my perspective. I have learnt something this month. Sacrifice is part of the road […]
Underestimating the sheer magnificence of fun
Wow! The most incredible aha moment happened for me last week. I’m working through a coaching program with a fellow coach that is studying at the same time as me. Each week we focus a different part of your life. This week we discussed fun and my dreams and goals and desires for this area […]
My challenging week helped me to shine bright
My weekly challenge last week was …well… challenging actually. Duh. Isn’t that how it’s meant to be????!!!!??? In this case it’s a timing thing because it wasn’t meant to be hard. I gave up alcohol for 7 days, and wanted to do meditation and yoga every day. For some reason a couple of days into it I […]
An odd but excellent experiment – my armpit detox
I know this might be a step too far but just hear me out for a minute or 2! Pretty please. I’ve been using natural deodorants (chemical and toxin free) for a couple of years. And to be honest they haven’t really worked. Plus I’m allergic to the one everyone raves about (Axilla by Black […]
Party girl vs health nut (and my new weekly challenge)
This is my biggest struggle. I LOVE a few drinks. But I really don’t like feeling dusty the next day. I love laughing with friends and fabulous food and amazing wine. Or a few cheeky G&Ts. Or a special scotch or some beautiful cocktails. I adore champagne. BUT I have so much fun I forget to stop. […]
An important plea to myself about resting
Dear Wendy You are ALLOWED to rest and relax and do nothing. This is not a crime. Today you did take some books back because you had been overcharged (usually you would just let it go), you did sleep in, you did eat fairly healthy food, you did go alcohol free, you did manage to […]
How do you treat your magnificent body?
Do you do these things to your body: Survive on minimal sleep Criticise its imperfections Constantly judge it Drown it with alcohol Overload it with sugar Starve it on new diets Compare it to other bodies Place never ending emotional stress on it Fill it with junk food and processed food with no nutritional content […]
