I think I've mentioned in a previous post how exhausted I have felt lately. So tired that on some days I have fallen asleep sitting up whilst I've been working. I can't sleep at night time so sleeping during the day is practically unheard of! My family have been nagging me to go to the…

Listening to My Body
Getting up at five rocks! No, really, it does! It gives me time alone, extra time in the morning to be productive (I love me a bit of productivity!) and I just feel more prepared for the day. I love getting up at five... However...over the past few weeks, I have noticed that by Thursday…
My Early Morning Routine {Summer}
My summer morning routine is really just a more polished version of my spring morning routine. This year, my focus has been to simply become more intentional with my time.

As I pound the pavements each morning, I keep my eyes open for wild flowers which grow along the road or pavement.…
Do The Next Thing
Spending ten days away from home, visiting friends and family in Northern Ireland, was bliss. We all had a much needed break and came back home energised. However, three days later, I felt like I needed to go back on holiday again! I was EXHAUSTED. To be honest, I was a bit concerned. Why so…
Taking Time to Listen
Each morning, at five, I walk my dog for about 40 minutes. Whilst I do listen to an Audibles book during this time, I also take moments to pray for friends as I pass by their houses. It's incredible the answers to these prayers even though most of the people don't even know I am…
