26/01/17Today hasn’t been a good day. At the same time, it’s been a great day! First of all, this morning I went to a successful business meeting and as a result, picked up £620 of sponsorship.I’ve also been to work at Nuclear Races which I love. I should be flying, but I’m not. I’ve been suffering from anxiety for the last 4 days and today it … Continue reading Making Sacrifices
It’s just over 4 months, or 18 weeks or 129 days until I begin my journey to row around Great Britain. But let’s be honest, my fundraising campaign is pants! In fact, I wouldn’t even call it a campaign. I have raised £4,000 of the £21,000 and I am really behind schedule. I could give all kinds of excuses as to why I haven’t pulled my … Continue reading Goal Setting
10/01/17This is my latest Facebook status: “Ok…… so here’s a conundrum for you. Doctors or those in the medical profession, perk your ears – I am open to suggestions on what happened.” “At the age of 24 (10 years ago), I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid. Within 6 months of being diagnosed and having regular blood tests, my medicine dose steadily increased to 100mcg.” … Continue reading How I Healed my Underactive Thyroid
On Thursday 24th November 2016, I headed to North Greenwich to take part in the Centrepoint Sleepout. I joined 1,000 people to sleepout and raise money and awareness for this fantastic charity. I went by myself which was a little scary but it was all part of the plan to step out of my comfort zone and I am so pleased I did as I met … Continue reading Centrepoint Sleepout 2016
I just drew this for a friend: A short while back, I was stuck and almost got sucked into that centre circle. I was even being encouraged by others to get in there and stay but something didn’t feel right. I drew this because my friend is feeling frustrated with their life and I was attempting to demonstrate that pushing outside their comfort zone would help them achieve the things … Continue reading The Comfort Zone Law
I heard this at a networking meeting.It highlighted to me that small actions can make a difference, whether be doing a challenge, helping make the world single-use plastic-free or any other mammoth task that at first seems impossible. An old man had a habit of early morning walks along the beach. One day, as he looked down the shore he saw a human figure moving … Continue reading The Starfish Parable
Entering the Cotswold Outdoor Outlet store sent excitement through my veins. I didn’t need anything but everything was so cheap!“What’s that over there glistening under the shop lights?” I pick up a pair of Columbia Sports Women’s Midnight Stretch Baselayer Tights and play with the reflective, silver lining. “These are unusual,” I think. “I wonder if they work?” What’s this silver lining about?It’s Columbia’s patented Omni-Heat™ … Continue reading Columbia Baselayer Tights Review
Oh my goodness, I have no idea where I saw this, but it’s been sitting as a draft on my website for months!!!It’s brilliant! It makes me laugh so much! WHEN A MAN SAYS…“I don’t want a serious relationship right now.” WHAT HE REALLY MEANS IS…“I ONLY WANT A RELATIONSHIP with a woman whoalready has her act together, is attractive,healthy, independent, easy-going, confident, andwho is … Continue reading When A Man Says…..
I saw this little cheeky poem on Instagram and it intrigued me. I’m an extrovert and not great at being alone, although I am definitely getting better at it. Google doesn’t really do us extroverts justice describing us simply as ‘an outgoing, socially confident person.’ Thank you Google, this is a compliment but more importantly, being an extrovert requires us to “charge their batteries by surrounding themselves with … Continue reading The Capacity To Be Alone Is The Capacity To Love
