1. If he’s intimidated by you, that’s his problem not yours. He’s not ready for your level of awesome, his loss.. 2. If he wants to see you, he will find the time, no question at all about that. 3. If you play games to attract him, you’ll never be able to be yourself.…
This story, author unknown, is one my favourites and reminds me that every little act counts towards someone’s big picture…. While walking along a beach, an elderly gentleman saw someone in the distance leaning down, picking something up and throwing it into the ocean. As he got closer, he noticed that the figure was that…
What Will You Do With Your Dash? You see, you can make all the money you desire, buy all the things you ever dreamed of and do everything your imagination can possibly conjure, but at the end of it all, who will be remembering you and for what? I have a theory, that whilst…
I love this quote… Why? I love it because it’s actually seriously astute. I love it even more when I consider the fact that Marilyn was aware she was not that girl… food for thought indeed. Knowing how to be happy even when you’re sad, doesn’t mean faking it or covering up your true…
There comes a day, somewhere in the middle of every woman’s life, when Mother Nature herself stands behind us and wraps her arms around our shoulders, whispering “It’s time.” “You have taken enough now. It’s time to stop growing up, stop growing older and start growing wiser – and wilder. There are adventures still…
When you say goodbye to a parent. You are suddenly living in a whole new world. You are no longer ‘the child’ and regardless of how long you have officially been ‘grown up’ for, you realise you actually never were until this moment. The shock of this adjustment will shake your very core. When you…
LET THEM GO, You will be glad you did. We have all done it. Put up with bullshit, accepted far too little, given way too much. We have all told ourselves it will not last forever, it will get better, they will change. We will change to make them change, but they never do. We…
5 reasons you should aim to be flawsome… 1. Everyone, EVERYONE has rolls when they bend over, or wobbly arms, or cellulite. I guarantee nobody notices yours the majority of the time if EVER. 2. Ask someone ten years older than you if they’d like to be ‘as fat’ as the first time they ever…
There was a woman watching me, some time ago now, but feels like yesterday – as these things have a habit of doing. She was watching me really closely as I interacted with my husband and my kids in a shop. I felt her staring hard and to be honest if she hadn’t had such…
Be in love With your life, every goddam minute of it. It’s your trail – blaze it and blaze it good. Be in love With yourself. Think of how you’d like to be loved and make it happen for yourself. Sod waiting, it will come when you need it the least. Be in love…
Hear me out. Im thinking out loud today… We can agree that we are encouraged throughout our lives, whenever wrong is done to us, to forgive and forget – yes? There is absolutely no doubt that LETTING GO is the healthy choice. Holding onto bitterness and grudge is like drinking poison and excepting the other…
Some girls may worry about ‘settling’ down with one man for the rest of your life, but it’s really not like that at all.. I fell in love with his free spirit and the twinkle in his eyes at 28 I fell in love with his bravery when we emigrated aged 30 I fell in…
I’m raising a boy In fact I’m raising two… I am raising a boy to be a person. And a partner. And a father. I am not raising a boy to be a man or a doctor, lawyer or footballer. Why not? Because I think the path he takes in this life is secondary to…
If someone tells you you’re not normal, thank them for the compliment… For life is too short to blend and fade into the background. To compromise and squeeze into boxes that weren’t made for us and don’t fit us at all. To thrash out all our ‘quirks’ and unique qualities and smooth down our edges…
IT’S A GOOD WEEK TO HAVE A GOOD WEEK Your Sunday evening pep-talk… 1. Whatever is challenging you this week, you have everything you need right inside of you. It’s there, dig deep. 2. You have been through harder times before and come out smiling. Think about it. 3. Worrying is using your imagination to…
1. It is okay to realise you aren’t the same as you used to be. Making another human changes a girl. It’s the all-consuming love and the lack of sleep mostly. Go with it, this is you – right here, right now. Nothing stays the same and this won’t either. 2. Your days may…
Somewhere inside of you, there’s a little firecracker with her arms folded and a frown on her face. She isn’t happy about all the times you said no when you wanted to say yes. All the times you said yes when you wanted to say no. She wanted you to buy the ticket. She…
Every dream has to start one day. What if today is that day? The day you will look back on and remember “That’s the day it all began.” You see, life is a series of cosmically linked events. Nobody knows how or why the serendipity occurs, but it does. Coincidence is a word that can…
1. That feeling you get when you hold each other and fit just right – the feeling of being home -that’s something millions of people in the world have yet to experience. Some may never. Treasure it. 2. Trust is an invisible entity and yet it’s the very foundation of all relationships. Build it and…
To My Wife. I didn’t see you when you walked the halls of our home cradling a colicky baby, I didn’t see you when you sat on the bathroom floor with your head in your hands hiding from the screams. I didn’t notice that your face had started changing, that the sparkle in your eyes…
GET UP Put down the phone (once you’ve read this of course), get out of bed, stretch. Repeat to yourself “Today is as good a day as I want it to be’, ‘I choose happiness today’ and maybe even throw in a little ‘Morning Beautiful, nice ass by the way’….😘 Breakfast like a Queen, you…
You see, if we teach our children to constantly strive for the extraordinary, we may fail to teach them the importance and the power of the everyday world around them… Teach them to love the feel of a hug. Teach them to spot the sadness of a friend. Teach them to understand the power of…
They aren’t capturing our lives… Don’t get me wrong I am bad for this – so many pictures of me with the exact same smile, the exact same tilt of the head, using the exact same filter. These are the photographs that the world gets to see of me and to be honest they…
We hear the word anxiety used a lot today… stress and anxiety are both concepts which are a definite product of our place in time. Life is fast, it’s hard to keep up and spin all the plates simultaneously. So, when you see someone who IS spinning all the plates, and spinning them whilst looking like…
This is by far my favourite news story from international Women’s Day, I couldn’t love it more… Sometime in the very early hours of Tuesday morning, a new statue appeared a few feet away from the world-famous Charging Bull in The Financial District of New York City. The statue, sculpted by Kristen Visbal, is modelled on…
Today is International Women’s Day and whilst the worldwide trend has not truly settled here in the UK, I feel it really really should. This year the campaign is BE BOLD FOR CHANGE and it is something every woman and girl should be involved in… The whole premise behind Ladies Pass It On is to lightheartedly…
Ladies, I have an idea for a Mother’s Day PRIZE with a difference! Our Mums pretty much have everything don’t they? Deservedly so! How about an article telling the world what a wonderful mum she is and why? So, tell me below in just a few words why your mum deserves to be the star of…
What is it and do you need it? I am always excited to meet interesting women and a few months ago I was introduced to the gorgeous Helen Nachintu at a Ladies Lunch. Helen happened to mention her partner’s self-improvement programme she was helping to manage, and as a lover of all things ‘self-helpy’ I was instantly intrigued! The…
The idea behind Ladies Pass It On was born in the summer of 2016 whilst an old friend of mine Irene Estry and I had one of our sparky and inspirational chats about life and how to really live it. Irene wrote a book a few years back detailing how to age with grace, dignity and…
