I know I’m late to the ‘coastal scene’ party I know I’m late to the ‘coastal scene’ party but better late than never, hey? I took this picture last summer during our holiday to Portugal. If you look hard enough 👀 you can just about see the tiny figures of my husband and son, enjoying the beach at sundown. It was a strange holiday, with everything being slightly clouded by the absence of our eldest daughter. For the whole 10 days, things just didn’t feel ‘right’. But there’s something about the sea that makes everything feel okay. This beach was wild and rugged, totally (and wonderfully) void of any human intervention - no cafe, no lifeguard 😱, no deckchairs. We had a couple of truly peaceful moments here that were a breath of fresh air, physically and metaphorically. This moment and place is somewhere that I take my mind to when the world feels a bit chaotic and out of control. This is a great mindfulness practice that has served me well of late. Where does your mind go to when everything feels too much? #101thingsthatmakemesmile #postcoronavirus #thingsimlookingforwardto #beachviews #littleloves #mindfulness #peacefulplace
I’ve not known what to post this week for many r I’ve not known what to post this week for many reasons: fear that people might think I’m not following the rules, nothing inspiring to say, feeling a little bit flat. Anyone else? So I’m going to start sharing pictures of places I’ve been to recently, memories I want to dwell on and things I’m looking forward to doing again soon. This picture was taken at @rhswisley only a few weeks ago, when all the crocuses had just started popping up. It was beautiful and I can’t wait to go again in the summer, autumn, or whenever we can. #thingsimlookingforwardto #101thingsthatmakemesmile #postcoronavirus #littleloves
There have been moments over the last few years, w There have been moments over the last few years, when I’ve felt so exhausted and weighed down by everything, that I wasn’t sure how I was going to carry on. But you know what? I did. And you will too. Everything (without exception) passes and everything gets better eventually. You’ve just got to hang in there. We can do this together, right? (But not too close 😉). #covıd19 #stayinghome #stayingpositive #positivevibes #positivequotes
