  • Five years ago today my not quite two month old first born grandson, little man, had his first sleepover with myself and @mgraftonnonis . . With his mummy @abssome too! . Having been born six weeks prematurely, after a somewhat worrying time, this was a very special moment. . The first of many ❤️ . It reminds me every day, when I get caught up in the busyness of everything, how precious life is. . How crucial it is to take a step back, to take a breath, to be in the moment and appreciate everything that I have in my life right here right now. . What reminds you of how precious life is? . . . . . #preciousmemories #grandsons #prematurebaby #bornearly #beinthemoment #takeastepback #appreciatelife #appreciatewhatyouhave #qualityfamilytime #righthererightnow #fulfilledlife #fulfillment #livinglifetothefullest #closefamily #qualitytimewithfamily #midlife #midlifewoman #over50 #grandmotherslove #alignmentmatters #engagedlife #lifeofpurpose #stopbeingbusy #lifecoachforwomen #midlifecoach #educatingwomen #midlifestyle

  • Far too much of our time, energy, effort and energy is wasted on doing the things that don't fill us up. Often at the expense of our own sanity, mental & emotional health & well-being. Usually to keep others happy & to do what they want us to do, rather than what we want or need to be doing. We become afraid to say no to others & yes to ourselves. Which drains us, frustrates us, exhausts us, & creates misalignment in our lives as well as detrimentally affecting our mental, emotional & physical health & well-being. If you put time, energy, money & effort into doing the things that fill you up, that you need, then you'll be better able to help others! So you can say yes to you & yes to being there for others. Looking after yourself to be able to look after others, spend time with your loved ones, & be a healthier, happier, more fulfilled you. Isn't that a better way to be? . . . . . #fillyourselfup #alignment #beinalignment #womensupportingwomen #fulfillment #investinyourhealth #investinyourself #investinyou #mentalhealthmatters #emotionalhealth #protectyourenergy #protectyourhealth #sayyestoyou #liveintentionally #livewithpurpose #livewithintention #mentalwellness #mentalwellbeing #emotionalwellness #emotionalwellbeing #lifecoachforwomen #midlifewoman #midlife #spendtimewisely #protectyoursanity

  • Like many I was shocked & saddened at the untimely, needless passing of another young woman, before her time. That she felt the only option was to not be here anymore. Many of you’ve been in dark places, you’ve struggled to find a way out. Many of you’ve turned to others but not often received what was needed in return. As a result you turn into yourself. You don’t want to be a burden on others, to seem needy, difficult, over emotional, too sensitive, attention seeking. You don’t want to be a drain on others. I see well intentioned posts reminding others to be kind, saying they’re there for others. I rarely see posts that talk about the action that follows this up. It’s nice to say to be kind but it's better when you take actual action to be kind. Even to those who are different to you, that you may not agree with. It starts with you. Take today to start, or continue if you're already doing so, taking the actual action to be kind, not just talk about it. Make it easier for people to know that you’re someone that they can turn to, that they can trust, that has their back. Make the call. Reach out. Check in on your loved ones. Send a message. Go see friends & family. Don’t gossip. Most people, even if they have behaved out of character or in a way that you don’t like, need love, help, understanding & support. Not criticism, condemnation & people talking about, not helping them. Think about what you would need if this was you in this position. It’s not always about needing a solution or a fix to a problem. It’s often about just being there, listening, not judging, letting them know that you are a ‘safe space’. Perhaps finding ways in which you can help them help themselves or if it is too much for you, or you’re not sure you’re able to help, then it’s about knowing where to direct them. You do need to protect yourself too. But there is always something you can do. It starts with taking actual action to be kind. Lead the way, take the action, share your stories, be kind! ❤️🙏 . . . . . . #bekindalways #dothekindthings #dogoodthings #takeactionnow #takeactiontoday #findwaystohelp #thestruggleisreal #mentalhealthawareness
