Decisions Decisions: Confusing Heart & Emotion, Reaction & Response

By on July 27, 2011 in Authentic Living, Authentic Marketing, Heart-Led Business, Personal Branding, Soulpreneurship

My entire business (and life) is based on the concept of ‘following your heart‘. It shows up in the way I work, with whom I work (heart & soul led businesses) and it underpins everything I advise my cliients to do and be. When I talk about Authenticity in marketing or business development terms, I’m [...]

Letting Go – letting in, letting be, allowing…

By on July 18, 2011 in Authentic Living, Random Ramblings

All of these words and phrases have been playing round my mind this last week. I’ve been asking myself what it means to let go? – How does it feel? – Why mastering the practice would be good? – What the alternativea are? etc. Then just by chance (lol – yeah right), I find this video; [...]

In Gratitude of Beloved Friends, Strangers & Words

By on July 16, 2011 in Authentic Living, General/News, Inspiration, Poetry & Prose

I’ve not blogged in ages, eclipsey June and the Cardinal Cross or T Square or whatever it was/is have kept me busy elsewhere.  Back now though. I think. How have you been? If you’ve had/are having a tricky time, then these words from my dear friend Noreen may bring some comfort… Other people’s words seem [...]

A Guest Post about Flow by Noreen Blanluet

By on June 1, 2011 in Authentic Living, Heart-Led Business, Inspiration, Soulpreneurship

Flow: an illustration. So. Recently a bunch of ideas and stuff that had been floating around in my head for a while and things that I feel really passionate about came together in a wonderful burst of creativity and insight and a real ‘this is what you shall do’ moment. And one of the things [...]

Authentic Communication? What does that mean?

By on April 27, 2011 in Authentic Living, Authentic Marketing, Client & Tribe Attraction, Personal Branding

My friends and close colleagues use the word ‘authentic’ a lot. I talk about ‘Authentic Marketing‘. We talk about being authentic or behaving and communicating authentically. If we were rappers, we’d opine about ‘keeping it real’. We could use the word ‘congruent’ I guess, though (for me anyway), it doesn’t have quite the same ring. [...]

And another month has passed…

By on April 24, 2011 in Authentic Living, Inspiration

It’s Easter Sunday… evening of, and I’m sat on the bed in the guest room at my parents’ house in Melton Mowbray where I’ve been since Thursday night… (At their house. Not on the bed.) I can hardly believe this is my first visit since September… where does the time go? I am also a [...]

Please Listen Carefully and Try To Hear What I’m Not Saying…

By on December 30, 2010 in Authentic Living, Inspiration, Poetry & Prose

I originally posted this on a blog that I’m about to kill off, so I’m posting it again here as I love it so much and don’t want it to be lost… I don’t know how to import the comments (or Facebook ‘likes’) from the original, so I’m posting them afresh… “I saw a quote [...]

A Prayer on this Special Winter Solstice Day

By on December 21, 2010 in Authentic Living, General/News, Random Ramblings

It’s Solstice. Winter Solstice. But this is not just any Winter Solstice… this one has coincided with a lunar eclipse and that hasn’t happened for 372 years! This wonderful post by Alison Rae of StarPriestess.com explains more. Here’s a short extract which really resonated with me, “Deep, unmasked truth lies at the heart of this eclipse. [...]

Dr Brené Brown

Brené Brown talks about wholeheartedness, authenticity, worthiness, courage…

By on November 19, 2010 in Authentic Living, Inspiration, Recommended Resources

I’m slightly embarrassed to admit that I’ve only just ‘discovered’ Dr. Brené Brown PhD – a magic pixie ‘researcher storyteller’ and professor at the University of Houston where she explores what she calls Wholeheartedness. One of the questions she seeks to answer is, How do we learn to embrace our vulnerabilities and imperfections so that we can [...]

In Search of Time with Time Ninjas, Noreen & Meg

By on October 19, 2010 in Authentic Living, In Search of Time, Random Ramblings, Recommended Resources

It’s no secret that time and I have an unusual relationship. Most of the time, we muddle through and make it work somehow. Lately though, I’ve been wanting to improve things between us, so when Noreen Blanluet and Meg Ward announced that they were launching an 8 week ‘time thing’, I was already pretty much sold and in.
