thoughts from me to youHope and faith
This morning someone I love told me something I wasn't ready to hear. I almost didn't write today because of it. It knocked my core to the point where I almost wondered if I had anything at all worth sharing with you guys. Then I realised that would be super selfish...
The spirit of community (with special input from Sam, my Scottie dog)
Do you remember the last time you really felt part of something? Not on the outskirts looking in, wondering how best to get properly involved but right in the midst of it all, integral to a movement bigger than yourself? When did you last feel supported? That there...
Why bigger isn’t always better
A lot of the stuff I read about following your dreams gives you the same advice - dream big or go home. I bought in to this for a long time. Or maybe I misunderstood it. I dreamt big. I had big ideas. I wanted to do so much. I read everything I could. I researched. I...
Credit where credit’s due
When was the last time you celebrated something you'd accomplished? When I asked myself this question yesterday, the answer didn't surprise me. I couldn't remember. After a while I came up with the fact I went for a meal when I got promoted in December. Woop-di-do. It...

How to make friends like a New Yorker (from the friend of one)
I was sat in my Italian class, a week after arriving in Italy to prove my worth to my parents in my new Italian Liaison role. I moved from the UK to Italy with no knowledge of Italy and, having only been there a couple of times previously, no knowledge of the culture....
Ten things I wouldn’t change, even if I could
This week has been a bit of a nightmare. When I emailed my director my daily update, I used the term 'challenge' instead of nightmare, but the result was the same, I reached Friday exhausted, frustrated and in need of a glass of wine, good nights sleep, bubble bath...
Facing your fears (and other cliches)
This week, as you may know if you follow me on Twitter, I finally booked my flights to India. This trip has been five years in the making. Ever since I did my yoga teacher training with my inspirational teacher Conrad Paul, in London, I have wanted to see the...
