I had a great week this week...





The running is going ok - although me in a Clic Sargent vest is not attractive :(


Life is busy, very busy... a busy business week, a wonderful team meeting on Thursday night - full of laughter and fun. A super business week. Running was ok, my husband's parents arrived yesterday, so we've been 7 for every meal - I love a house full, but NOT the washing up!


My eldest daughter has suspected whooping cough - but get this the blood test will take 2 weeks to arrive, by which time the antibiotics would have worked and it'll all be over - go figure!! Then there is the situation with the public health situation. So she got it from school in December, but as she is now on antibiotics she can't go back to school until day 5 of the antibiotics. Has the world gone mad with PC??? So the GCSE mocks are rescheduled, and she has another 4 days at home... She is delighted, not that poorly and thinks she can watch 4 days of America's Next Top Model & The Kardashian's. She's just gutted there is no Gossip Girl on!!
Then there is the little one (12) who had to go Blaise this afternoon to be baptised (???), as part of a RS homework, so she could in january!! be filmed being baptised in a local river and dressed as Jesus... seriously??? Where is the sense in that??


So a friend called, said she was in town for an hours appointment, and suggested a coffee, I went and didn't go for a family walk in Blaise. I had a lovely time - my decision didn't go down well.


So I saw one of my oldest friends today, she's not old - just our friendship. We just snap into a wonderful warm and happy chat. Would it be easier i wonder just to ship all your best friends in the world and live on this fantastic happy island - a "BFF island."


I guess we'd miss our men folk - well I would miss Cheesy, so could we just ship them in when required?


Cooked Chinese at home tonight - then a James bond fest with all the kids and the parents in law, the I am going to collapse... running in the morning... night night



Happiness this way please??

Deal with the past so it wont ruin the present

Here are some of her suggestions:
• Take a 10-30 minute walk every day and while you walk, smile
• Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day
• Sleep for seven hours
• Live with the three Es:  Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy
• Read more books than you did last year
• Drink plenty of water
• Eat more food that grows on trees and plants and less food that is manufactured in plants
• Smile and laugh a lot
• Don’t waste your precious energy on gossip
• Spend time with people over the age of 70 and under the age of 6
• Don’t take yourself too seriously:  no-one else does!
• Don’t compare your life with that of others:  you have no idea what their journey is about
• Make peace with your past so it won’t spoil the present
• The best is yet to come


Here's to your happiness.. L xx

10 ways to help your body detoxify

After a detoxification program, you can cleanse your body daily through diet, supplements and lifestyle practices.
1. Eat plenty of fiber, including brown rice and organically-grown fresh fruits and vegetables. Beets, radishes, artichokes, cabbage, broccoli, spirulina, chlorella, and seaweed are excellent detoxifying foods.

2. Cleanse and protect the liver by taking herbs such as dandelion root, burdock and milk thistle, and drinking green tea.

3. Take vitamin C, which helps the body produce glutathione, a liver compound that drives away toxins.

4. Drink at least two quarts of water daily.

5. Breathe deeply to allow oxygen to circulate more completely through your system.

6. Transform stress by emphasizing positive emotions.

7. Practice hydrotherapy by taking a very hot shower for five minutes, allowing the water to run on your back. Follow with cold water for 30 seconds. Do this three times, and then get into bed for 30 minutes.

8. Sweat in a sauna so your body can eliminate wastes through perspiration.

9. Dry-brush your skin or try detox foot spas/foot baths to remove toxins through your pores. Special brushes are available at natural products stores. Try Arbonne's swiss formaulated, botancially based detox range:
10. What is the most important way to detoxify? Easy that's Exercise Yoga or skipping are good. One hour every day. Also try Qigong, a martial-arts based exercise system that includes exercises specifically for detoxifying or cleansing, as well as many other exercises with specific health benefits.

Principles should never be compromised...

"Strong men don’t compromise, it is said, and principles should never be compromised."Andrew Carnegie


There are many people in your life who love you, many people who say they love you, and many people who do not love know you to love you. So what have I learnt: be true to yourself, be authentic, genuine and generous. Smile at people and talk to strangers - it'll probably make their day!


2011 had amazing highs (my girls, getting married at my ripe old age to Mr fabulous) and some low lows....but my principles remained steadfast.


So be kind to yourself and make time for yourself. Be clear what is and what is NOT acceptable and be absolutely crystal clear about your principles, what is important to you, who is important to you, what behaviour you are willing to accept and what you are not. Sure there are times when, for the greater good you may have to "suck it up" - and that is OK, but be clear about your principles as principles should NEVER be compromised.


yours thoughtfully... Linda x

Are you a Flip Flop CEO?



I cannot take credit for the cool title, it was coined by an amazing mother and daughter duo Janine Finney & Lory Muirhead. You NEED to read the book, their story and teachings are inspirational.
Life is busy, hectic and after 8 days at home with my lovely family I'm ready to get back to work - but at my pace and with MY rules. So now I plan my work around my life rather than my life around my work - do you? 


This is an extract from their website, a step by step question to help you get curious...

If not, have a think, but not for too long, then choose your flip flops and lets talk. Linda xx
