the art of listening, a seed planted and Big Wednesday

I've been listening to a really good radio channel for the past week or so, and it has made me really appreciate the art of listening. So often we never really focus on one thing, so it feels really good just to sit down and listen.

An idea has been planted in my head like a seed, and the more I think about it, the more it grows..... it's exciting

I go to my sisters place for dinner, and we watch Big Wednesday.... I love this film and all it's nostalgia..... feel very privileged to be a surfer

inspiring words, solo mission and pizza & laughter combo

I've recently found an amazing website called Tiny Buddha. It is jam-packed with inspirational articles and things that can only make your day better. Love love love it.

Head to the beach for a solo SUP mission.... it's a bit windy on the way out, but as I turn my back to the wind, the sun shines on my face and I'm flying :)

Pizza Express for dinner...... I love that with certain friends, all you ever seem to do is laugh together..... belly full (of super delicious pizza) and cheeks aching when I go home

adventure, challenging book and connected

today we SUP'd from St Brelades to Belcroute..... so much fun.... there were moments where the currents were pulling and we really had to dig in, and there were moments when the wind was on our backs and blew us along. What an adventure. Can't think of anything I would have rather done with my day.

A new book that is so challenging I have to read it in small sections, so that I can get my head around each

being outside in the elements, especially in the winter, makes you feel grateful to be alive

kindness, the ocean and a shift in thinking

today saw so many random acts of kindness :) a lovely man was taking photos of the surf, and took a heap of shots of Ali & I paddling...... and an even lovelier man in his JCB digger took our SUPs down to the waters edge to save us carrying them, and came charging back down to the water when he saw us return....

ahhhhh the sea....... I can't quite explain it.... the feeling of being in the ocean..... like it is renewing every part of your body, and refreshing your spirit and reminding you who you are again.....so good to be back

an afternoon that I had been dreading turned out to be filled with positivity and forward thinking, and left me feeling lighter and happier than I have felt in ages

stillness, fixing it and new path

it is so windy here, that when you get a day with no wind it takes you a moment to figure out what is different. I enjoyed an afternoon of stillness at the beach

fixing something that was broken

a new path, with some help along the way. I'm excited about this new coaching mission

walking and talking, moving forwards and creating deliciousness

hanging out with a good friend, stomping and chatting....catching up, and being grateful for always laughing when we hang out

a tough day that forced me to be even tougher, and focus on moving forwards.... felt good to be a tough cookie

creating deliciousness...... a super yummy warm salad....... warm cannellini beans on a bed of spinach, with roasted red peppers, grilled proscuitto, garlic croutons and tonnes of fresh basil.....oh my goodness

ray of sunshine, little poke from the universe and movie night

a message from someone I haven't heard from in ages out things in perspective and puts a smile on my face

a few odd things happened today, that could well have been pure coincidence..... but felt a little more like a poke from the universe

after 5 nights out in a row ( must be a record for me..) I am so thankful to stay home, eat delicious leftovers and flick on the TV to find 2 great movies back to back just about to start :)
