Kitchen revamp

My lovely Mum spent hours yesterday re-covering the chairs in my kitchen 😍 We had a new kitchen installed over the summer and although we love our table and chairs, the covers were looking shabby next to the shiny new cupboards.

Overheard conversation

Perhaps I’m becoming a bit obsessed with kindness if I find myself taking a photo of toilet doors at the station on a Saturday evening….😆 But there had just been a brilliant conversation between the people in the end and middle cubicles. The end cubicle was out of paper and there was some confusion about

What if… we prioritise kindness to self?

Today is World Mental Health Day. So I am delighted to bring to you this guest blog written by Sarah Tite, Director of Fundraising and Communications at the Mental Health Foundation.

Being kind to myself

I’m focusing on being kind to myself today – well, it is my birthday 🎂🥳 ❤ Wearing my fabulous new hoodie from @kindshop.co.uk ❤ Pretty & sparkly new nails from @izzybnails ❤ Starting a new painting after an art mentoring session with @jane_beinart_artist I’ve also been for tea and cake with one of my sisters and had toasted

What if… I demonstrate wise compassion?

This month’s guest blog comes from facilitator, author and founder of Inky Thinking, Tom Russell. As a leader of an organisation, he has spent a lot of time considering the importance of kindness and is able to demonstrate what that looks like with his team on a daily basis. Kindness in leadership is a subject

Holiday welcome

Check out this amazing welcome gift that my sister and her partner received on arrival at their holiday cottage at the weekend. It is making my mouth water! As my sis said, “Been to a lot of cottages over the years…never had such an impressive welcome…full blown afternoon tea “ This kind gift made the

A thank you frog

Saying thank you to someone who has contributed to your work is a quick and easy show of kindness. I recently helped out my freelance colleague and friend, Katie Duckworth, who runs the Leaders Who Brunch networking group.

What if… we all live our own truth?

I am incredibly lucky to be able to feature guest bloggers each month and to share new voices and perspectives. This month, therapist and business founder Sara-Louise Ackrill shares her thoughts on the benefits to us all when we live our truth instead of trying to hide our difference.
