I am loving writing my Soles Journey every day; I am loving the creative process… I have no idea what I am going to say until I turn up and find out… I learnt at the very beginning of my life that creativity in any form is about turning up at the blank page, whether…

I am sitting with a turkish coffee in front of me; my writing inspiration… ? We have just come back from a day in the mountains… We drove about 45 miles, not really knowing where we were going. We had looked on the map and seen that there were various symbols for different places such…

I woke at 6am as planned and crept out to a fresh summer morning, soft brown green hills rising around me… The sun was already warming the day, but with less intensity than later on; a few people were about – running, walking, sitting on the grass…. I had a seen a lake last night,…

I have just checked out on the map exactly where I am! Maricarmen asked me this question today in my Spanish lesson… ‘I’m not totally sure..’ I replied laughing… ‘In Turkey, Manavgat; beside a really long beach…’ I have now found out that we are on the South Coast and the beach goes on and…

This video is about how to strengthen your feet! My feet like being bare feet! I have had lots of ‘trouble’ with my feet over the years, which means I have found out about exercises to help them! And finding the right shoes was always challenging! Very light running shoes were the best for me……

Today I thought I would be in Norfolk, but instead I am in Sussex. I have just run on the Ashdown Forest with Pooh, Piglet, Owl and Roo; they were the ones who were free for a run come fly today, the appearance of Owl rather surprised me as I didn’t expect to see him…

Today I collected my little blue shoes from our address at Gatwick where we get things sent, and we hire office space if we need… My ‘shoes’ are my turquoise barefoot jewels. I love them… My perfect colour. I was once told that the colour and expression of the healing energy that comes out of me is…

I love our ‘Larder’ London experiences, when we land in Winchmore Hill we take up residency in ‘The Larder’… Coffee shop life is the life for me, especially after 11 miles of running on a cold December morning! We turned up on Michael’s doorstep in the first week he opened, two and a half years…

I finished my run today by racing up the steps to the Penon del Santo, the largest and tallest of three rocks that divide the two main beaches here in Almuñécar… The stone that has been there for years and years and years… The rock remains and stands here now, whatever wars and fights the…

Last night I awoke at 3.33am, thirsty for a glass of water… I enjoy seeing numbers all lined up; it feels part of life’s magic and a little like the wondrous intricate patterns of a crop circle; unexplained synchronicity within friendship meetings, happenings, occurrences that amaze us – and symmetry, mirrors, things ‘happening at the…

I love stretching on the beach… It has become a daily practise and my body is opening up again. In fact the stretches that are deeper, or harder for me to do, are accessing something previously inaccessible inside… I can feel this space I am living in currently, without much interaction or conversation, is lending…

I ran for 65 minutes this morning; some of it with Anadi and then I ran on for a bit before turning back to meet up with him on the beach and go for the swim I didn’t go for last night ? I have no idea how far I am running at the moment…
