Let them

Let them I love this phrase that my fab friend shared with me. Two little words that say so much. A very empowering phrase. I have spent a long time, as many folk have, worrying and wondering what people think. Where has it got us? People are going to think what they want about you, positive or negative. Whether you have a two hour analysis about your conversation! Hence, the 'let them'!  It really is enough to be who we are, without changing to fit in. I was actually talking to my lovely friend the other day about something and as I was about to go down that rabbit hole of what people might think, she looked at me and just said, "Let them." Two very freeing words. This phrase takes the emphasis off you and your actions and places it more on them. She told me about this fab book by Mel Robbins that I now need to buy.  We can overthink things. We do waste time worrying about what other people think. Especially when they might be doing exactly the same! But even if they...

Womankind

Womankind We are women and we are kind! I do like to start my blogs with a song where I can and this one made me think of John Lennon's 'Woman'. I mean, we must be good if John Lennon wrote a song celebrating us! I have shared and read fab posts today for International Womens day and felt inspired to write a little blog to celebrate the amazingness of women supporting each other and working together.

This one has always been a favour...

Right here, right now

Right here, right now  I sang that title. Fat Boy Slim song I think! Annie may sing about 'tomorrow' and it is lovely to look forward to things but even better to enjoy now. Oasis told us not to 'look back in anger' so again, be content with now. This is it. This moment you are breathing here, now. This is what counts.  I love this question. The times I have rushed from moment to moment. I am glad I did but I have slowed down and I am appreciating everything that bit more. Make the memories but also enjoy each moment, at the time, before they become memories.  I love this quote so much. Live for now.  Yes, plan and dream and yes, be nostalgic for the past and the people you remember with love. The special one off times you can never re-create, no matter how hard you try. The past and future are important and help shape us, guide us to who will be. But remember who and where we are now. I have spent ages aching for a time long gone, the 80s and 90s, and for a version ...
