Survived Valentine’s Day? Maybe even enjoyed it? Now it’s time to get serious about love.  Valentine’s Day always seems to celebrate romantic love of another. And for many of us, it seems easier to love another than to love ourselves. But real, sustainable love is...

  As winter doesn’t feel like it’s quite on it’s way out yet, I thought I would share my tips on staying warm and healthy in the cold season of coughs and runny noses. (Happy Valentine’s Day!) Do you hate being cold? I do. And I’m not a fan of getting colds...

Happy New Year!  Every year I ask whether you’re excited to set new year’s resolutions, or if you’ve had enough of the whole thing. I know many people are so fed up of setting resolutions they don’t keep, that they simply don’t bother anymore. (If that’s you, my...

It’s that time of year again! It’s time to reflect on the year that’s been so we can make decisions about the year to come. 

I’m running a retreat in India at the moment, and part of what we’re doing together – in addition to yoga and mindfulness – is reviewing this year and looking ahead to the next. I always get so much from this practice, and am delighted that I get to share the experience with my retreat participants this year. 

Would you like to join us? 

Merry Christmas! For some, this time of year can be magical. But for others, it’s challenging. Each year I like to share some new insights to help you navigate the coming weeks and to remind you of those I’ve shared before. It’s my Christmas gift to you and part of my...

Have you ever noticed that what could have seemed like ‘failures’ can sometimes be the foundations for our greatest successes? And how some things that we thought we really wanted are not actually fulfilling? (including that third helping of pudding!)

Sometimes it’s not so much about what we get but how we respond to what we get (and what we make of it).

It’s that time of year again!

Are you all excited about setting goals for the new year, or have you become jaded and can’t be bothered anymore?

Either way, you may be right!

Spending time with family brings different words to mind for different people: fun, love, joy excitement, sharing … sometimes. And at other times… different words… perhaps difficult, challenging, frustrating, maybe even downright upsetting and destabilising. Our families made our buttons, so is it any wonder they can push them?

Last week I spoke at the London launch of The Queen’s College Oxford Women’s Network. The main message I wanted to convey? That we all need support, and it’s a myth that we don’t.

As the snow has just melted and spring is approaching, it’s time to reflect on the things we committed to in the new year.  Remember those? Are you on track? Are they still relevant and important?

Today I’d like to share three of my favourite inspirational videos with you. Each of their messages is powerful and important. They should help you to feel more confident and empowered as well as enabling you to weather the storms that inevitably come your way from time to time.

As simple human beings we’re all just looking for love. We want to love and be loved.

REAL LOVE  begins at home. The best foundation of love for others is love for ourselves. There’s no way around it!

When I was 16 something was said in a school assembly that affected me deeply.

Our teacher asked:

“How often do you think something positive about someone but you don’t tell them?”

Gratitude is talked about a lot these days, and it’s easy to see why. I suspect it’s no coincidence that the subject is coming up increasingly at a time when the political and social backdrop is throwing up so many difficult situations and challenges.
