As this month invited us to celebrate mothers I took this opportunity to do a bit of soul searching and thinking about the influence of my mother in my life and the many stereotypes of motherhood. In our Western society these occasions are commercially exploited to the umpteenth degree and it can be difficult to…

Life recently has put me in a situation where I had the opportunity to really understand and feel how much gap sometimes there can be between me and another person.

Every year I experience a little death during the festive season of December. Whether I am at home in the UK or anywhere else in the world, I tend to feel similar feelings and have similar thoughts. I would personally rather avoid them, if I could choose, but it seems that either the weather, the…

Last month I went through a period of emotional stress because I wanted to give myself the gift of celebrating my 50th birthday in an appropriate way. What is appropriate? Well for me it means travelling to a new place where I can enjoy warm weather, swim in the sea, relax, see new things and…

Sometimes in life lessons come in the most unexpected way … It was a nice sunny Sunday in April and my partner and I decided to have a short break on the Isle of Wight, as it is quite close from where we live and it is in a sensible flying distance for a small…

As women, we are obligated to be “superwomen”. We take on so many responsibilities, commitments, duties, hobbies – often so we can meet the needs of others. In our busy lives we find ourselves bombarded 24/7 by so much information, that at times we feel overwhelmed and tired just by the thought of having to…
