Our local walks

This time during lockdown in the UK sees us have permission to go out for one form of exercise per day.

Where I live (currently in lockdown with my children) we are very fortunate to have some beautiful countryside.  Some of it, I confess, I haven't seen before! Even some of the houses we have passed on our walks are places I haven't noticed before!  It's amazing how so much opens up your eyes to new beauties.

White knuckle riding

In my world, today is a really good day.  Yesterday was a tough one.

This video was requested to explain this rollercoaster

This whole thing seems to be 'getting you' like that doesn't it.  One day up, another day down, all the while hoping that you can white knuckle ride it out.

Part of my outing seems to be taking photos on these nature walks and I would love to share the photos here with you.  You can also see them over on my Facebook page.

What is it like where you are?

The next blog post will show you what 'working in the garden' looks like. I don't mean gardening: I mean writing haha, very blessed to be able to continue working.

Please stay safe and take care. Sending you my very best wishes

I’m now a barista

Ok so yes I miss the coffee shops. Do you?
⠀

I can’t lie, I love packing up my mint green rucksack with
•pencil cases ✏️
•laptop 👩‍💻
•chargers 🔌
•earphones 🎧
•journal 📖
•notebook 📚
•purse 👛
•glasses 👓
And getting in the car with the music up loud, driving to the coffee shop in the sunshine. Dancing in the seat, tapping the steering wheel, making those other drivers smile with your contagiously happy mood.
⠀
Oh, happy day.
⠀
But we can’t.
And that’s ok.
⠀
We have all adjusted, shifted things. Loads of comments like this are being written about life changing. It’s so different.
🖊🤍📖
⠀
We will look back on this time and say, “do you remember when...?”
⠀
Fondly probably. Thoughts of the times when we had time to make coffee at home, how much money we saved, we could work in the laptop with messy hair, last nights mascara still trying to escape, wearing comfy clothes and a snoring shihtzu next to us.
⠀
The clock ticks in my living room just now and I’ve decided to make another cuppa then get to my exciting edits. This is nice.
But, @starbucksuk you’re perfectly safe.
⠀
We can live without certain things. It won’t stop us missing them, wanting them, remembering ‘times when...’ and that’s perfectly okay.
Isn’t it?

Walking without a watch #amwriting

📖An excerpt from the upcoming book, CoronaVirus - how it made us feel.

⠀

💕Taking the dog on a walk and just letting our legs take us as far as we wish to go is wonderful.

🙏🏻something precious about being able to just be free at these times. Yet still being afraid of the virus, and of the future.

📖🤍🖊 Just for today, we edit. Focused and moving forward one day at a time with love and gratitude.

How you can figure out what you want from life.

This is by far the most passionate you have ever seen me on a Motivational Monday. I make no apologies for it either. Because I care about you having the life you deserve. 

This video sees me explaining how you can find out what it is you want from life. Work, money, material things, relationships, even down to the little things. The principle is the same for all of these. Watch this video all the way to the end and make sure you check out this Guided Meditation to help you to go to the place that will help you to visualise and get clear on your wishes. 

Let me know if this helps and of course, as always please do reach out to me if you feel you would like to talk some more

The guided meditation that I speak of in this video can be found here: https://youtu.be/sUt8KqY4bwY

My sunny office during coronavirus lockdown

This Sunday is glorious in Kent, UK.

Sunshine, 18°C, blue skies and pretty much the gentlest breeze to help with natural air con vibes. 

Seemed rude not to want to take to the garden, freshly lawned by the children, and set up an office in there to work on my current WIP (work in progress, aka 'book'). See the box on the right-hand side? Follow this blog from that box and you will find out soon all about this book.  Suffice to say, I call myself a life writer and while the entire world is going through a massive life change just now, I felt it would be wrong not to write something about that (huge project which I have just massively played down so wait and watch please! )

I hope wherever you are, you are well, happy (but it's ok to wobble just now) and you're able to enjoy some nice weather.  

Much love as always

Louise xoxo

Taking to the garden for my work this morning
