  I love you. You're important in my life. I'm proud of you. Thank you. I miss you. I'm sorry. Can I help in some way? I appreciate what you did. I attended a funeral a few months ago and as I didn't know the deceased very well, I was able to be there in very...

I'm fascinated with how people behave, learn, accomplish, fail, succeed - basically how we, as humans, are in the world. Even as a child, I loved noticing things: about people, the world and nature. It didn't always make sense to me and there wasn't really anyone I...

It's easy isn't it? To get busy. To rush around. To get things done. To go on autopilot. I know - it happens to me sometimes (a lot!). So therefore, I can ask: of the twenty four hours available to you yesterday, how many were you Actually Present for? So sleep...

I attended a workshop a few months ago where we spent quite a lot of time making stuff and being creative. We also heard about how we sometimes (often) make stuff UP about ourselves and about life in general too. For example: "I'm not creative," " I'm very unlucky,"...

I found my Leaving Cert results the other day and they took my breath away!   I'd remembered they were pretty poor and even to this day, when they don't matter anymore, there's still a slight shame in remembering how I was told to say "I was very happy with how I...

I'm sitting here waiting for the next client to arrive as I write this. The view from my window is amazing - I am blessed. I love being able to look out into the garden to see and hear nature; especially the birds that visit my bird tables (and from my window, I can't...

I'm writing this having just returned from the cinema where I watched an On Demand film called 'Embrace'. It's an amazing documentary that explores the issue of body image for women living in a world obsessed with size and shape. It was wonderful - I encourage you to...

Can you see it? The longer shaft of light in the evening... Can you feel it? The sunshine that means an opened coat or a hat stuffed back in your pocket.. Can you hear it? The new birdsong that was silent last week... Can you taste it? The changing flavours of the...
