Chasing perfection often leads to stress and exhaustion. By embracing a good enough life, we find space for love, truth, and joy. Discover why 80% is enough and how imperfection can bring peace and spiritual growth.
In uncertain times, family and community connections help us feel grounded and supported. By reaching out, gathering, and sharing simple moments, we create balance, resilience, and a ripple of positive change in the world. Read more >
Love is such a powerful emotion – love for a child, a parent, a friend. Enjoying that love is wonderful, loss of that love can be truly painful.
Love heals, makes you laugh and generally makes life worth living.
Here are my views on love:
Loving is for all, not just your partner, family and friends. It should also include yourself! Often, the most unlovable people are those that gain the most value from your love, be it a smile, a kind word or an offer of help.
Receiving love as well as giving love balances the passing of energy. Sometimes it takes practice to receive love. Many are good at giving but do not practice receiving. To be balanced and healthy you need to do both.
Love is for 365 days a year. All of us have good days and bad days. But love transcends the ups and downs of life. You may be very cross with your partner, child, friend…. but you still love them. It is important for them to know that. Consistency is not always easy but it is essential for your loved one to feel secure in being loved by you.
This post is dedicated to those in need of love.

At the beginning of July my husband suggested a trip to France to look for a new home. France is a large and beautiful country. On previous trips we had narrowed down the areas we were interested in. At the last moment we decided to go camping, something I have not done since my 20s. We bought some kit and the tent only arrived the day before we left. We had no time to practise pitching it before we needed to do it for real to sleep in it.
My husband assured me he had looked at the instructions and the tent only took 15 minutes to pitch, so if we took four times that it was still only an hour. We arrived at the camp site in the late afternoon and set about pitching the tent! I did not find the instructions very helpful and it felt like we were doing an enormous jigsaw puzzle. We considered giving up and hiring one of the cabins but that felt like a poor start to a hunt for a new home. Two hours later after much perspiration and having to view YouTube, the tent was finally up!!! Hooray, success.
The location was magical and more than compensated for the effort with the tent. We pitched under a willow tree for coolness and there was a river flowing on two sides of the tent. I had forgotten how wonderful it is to be in Nature. As a child I was an outdoor girl and stood with my wellington boots in hand at the door on a rainy day waiting for the rain to stop.=&0=&
Mother Nature soothed me again and time seemed to slow. There was very little mobile phone signal so I was not able to do my usual video broadcasts, an activity I find quite stressful. I had no choice but to settle into the arms of Nature and just ‘be’, wonderful. We discovered that the sun set over the river and there was a seat under a tree where you could watch the sun go down. The ducks slept around our tent and you could hear them moving about and quacking in the night. Bird song woke us in the morning. Five minutes walk away was a place where you could swim in the river overlooked by a little restaurant that served great French food and wine. It is a long time since I have felt so content and calm.
What surprised me was that when we came home, I found it hard to go back to living in a flat. Everyone was amazed at how much I loved the camping and thought I would miss life’s luxuries. However what I missed on my return was the close connection with Nature. It has certainly made me re-evaluate how I should be living, prioritising taking breaks much more and walking in Nature to re-capture that closeness. From my time in France my soul feels revived but my heart longs to return to the countryside. Roll-on our next visit.

In the northern hemisphere the Spring Equinox is coming on the 21st March. It brings us out of winter and officially is the start of the spring season. But what exactly is the spring equinox?
First, let’s get into the equinox, which actually occurs twice a year. We have already mentioned the Spring Equinox. Another equinox occurs on the 23rd September and takes us into autumn. The word
Balance in all you do is a key driver for enjoying your life. Many ask,
“How do I balance my work and home lives?”
Many of us struggle with this throughout our lives. Even in retirement, with the increasing trend of grandparents looking after the children of their working off-spring, balance can be a challenge.
