Day 66
Today is International Women's Day.
A day we celebrate women, our successes, our dreams, our goals, each other.
Last night I had dinner with a group of women, old friends and new and we laughed, talked and celebrated each other. It was awesome.
After 2 years of keeping to my bubble it was the best feeling to hug friends I haven't seen in a long time.
Today I grateful for the women in my life who inspire me to be better, who challenge me to remember who I am and who I can count on when I need a shoulder to cry on, and an ear to listen when I need to talk through my ideas.
Happy International Women's Day 2022

Day 60
What is Pancake Tuesday or Shrove Tuesday?
It was the last chance for a spot of indulgence before 40 days of fasting, and also an opportunity to use up food that couldn't be eaten during Lent. This included eggs, fat and milk, which were made into pancakes and eaten on that day.
For me it was an opportunity for breakfast at supper and family time.
Growing up I went to Sunday school and church but as I grew older and life changed pancake Tuesday changed.
I do miss the family dinner, sharing stories about our day, plans for the future, remembering those who are no longer with us.
But...
Making new memories and traditions is a good thing. So tonight I will have pancakes before my yoga class.
Enjoy my friends

Day 55
As I was doing some work today, on me btw, I received a message about childish things and that they weren't really childish at all, it is time to start doing more work on my inner child.
Which got me thinking about some of my favorite things from childhood and Winnie the Pooh was my all time favorite.
Pooh is a simple bear but so wise, appears to be only interested in where he will get his next honey from, but really he is a kind friend to all who are around him.
We can all take a lesson from Pooh. Be kind to those around us, be kind to those who make different choices, be kind to yourself when you have to let people go from you life.
Love to you all

Day 54
After I met Alicia Whalen I knew we were meant to connect.
Then I connected with her mum Mary Hussey who created these beautiful pieces for me.
A piece of black tourmaline and another with apophalite.
So today I am grateful for new connections and new necklaces.

Day 53.
Today I am grateful for my yoga I teacher.
At the end of class the passage he read resonated with me.
It was about remembering to ground yourself.
When we are on path of self development, growth in business, life, your spiritually remember that we cam fly high as we grow but staying grounded allows us to flourish.
Ove the past few years I've changed and grown to become the person I am now. But there were times when forgot to ground myself and those were the times I struggled the most.
Getting outside, to be in nature or sing and dance, spend time with those who mean the most, that is how i ground yourself.
What do you do?

Day 51 a 52.
Family Day weekend.
Tea with friends and kinetic sand with my grandsons.
I am so grateful for being able to share this special time with the most important people in my life.
In our busy lives we often get wrapped up in the things that keep us busy, and while we are busy doing those things we forget to practice selfcare.
Spending time with those who fill our cups is the best kind of selfcare.

Audible.
Each month I get a credit for a new book.
I have romance, thrillers, self-development, cooking and meditation.
I find these days it's hard to.sit down and read, listening though!
I listen while I drive or when .walking. I listen when I clean or when I'm laying on the couch.
When I found Audible it brought me back.to my love of books.

Day 47
Scotch. There is not much to be said about this liquid gold.
Scotch or Whiskey is a drink that I only need a wee dram to satisfy me.
The feeling of warmth as it goes down is just a part of the reason it's my go to drink.
The other, and bigger part is; when I drink this I have find memories of my parents, visiting them and my dad opening up the cabinet and asking which one I wanted.
He taught me the difference between blended and single malt, peet vs non peet, how the whiskey from Islay is different from other areas of Scotland.
More importantly though this was a time when we would sit and solve the problems of the world, or catch up with each other. Or my favorite the wee dram before bed.
This is a drink that evokes wonderful memories.
What is yours?
