Maybe not today, but eventually

Everything is going to work out.

Your dreams and hopes will find their place in this world.

Smile freely.

Your smile lights up your face.

Your smile is one easy way to make someone’s day.

It will get better.

Give yourself and life time.

Your fears are only as powerful as you allow them to be.

Don’t allow them to paralyze you from living your life.

I know you get lonely but that doesn’t mean you are alone.

There are so many people who love and need you.

Loneliness comes and goes.

It won’t stay forever.

It’s okay not to be okay all the time.

Don’t be afraid of the work ahead of you.

That’s how you learn, how you grow, and most importantly how you get to where you want to be. 

Getting lost is how you get found

Everything is going to work out.

Stressed spelled backwards...

Is desserts!
So that's it- your first port of call when you're feeling stressed is to eat a brownie, a slice of cake, some pudding, a sponge, even a little tiny biscuit to make that bitter situation a little bit sweeter.

Of course- I'm not suggesting over indulgence on a long term basis, but I do think sweet treats and a warm bath are sometimes the best thing a person can do!

And if you can't get hold of any desserts- enjoy drooling over these with me!



Little lesson from Dr Seuss...

"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind"-Dr Seuss

I could not have put any part of that better myself, I think it's such a great way to think about life.

Your true friends and family love it if you wear a hundred different bangles at a time, odd earrings, stripes with polka dots, comfy sweats, jeans from the 80s. Of course what you wear is only part of the story- maybe you smile a lot, cry a lot, laugh loudly, speak quietly or love photography, or drawing or cooking or reading or writing or cycling or physics
Whatever it is!

Do it because you love it, nothing else matters!
The world wants you to be happy- those who love you want to be happy, so you may aswell do what it is that makes you the happiest you've ever been!

Despite my awful voice, singing makes me happy, so when I'm around those who won't mind I sing my heart out!

Share with me what makes you happy!

Every day may not be good...

...But there is something good in every day

Sometimes the day has been truly against us and we tie ourselves up in knots thinking about how it all seemed to go so wrong.

Sometimes we think about it so hard, that we can't even sleep and let a new day begin because we're wearing ourselves out thinking about yesterday.

Always look for the little things, even teeny tiny things that were good in your day, the little things that bring me joy on a bad day can be as simple as listening to something calm and beautiful like this:



While reflecting on all that has given me joy today, my list goes a little something like this:


The sight of my fairy lights glowing over my fireplace

A bath with so many bubbles

Being able to listen to the same song on repeat

Starting a new book

A mug of peppermint tea

My phone not running out of battery

The wonderfully inky night sky

Share with me something that has brought you joy today!

Sweet dreams (day or night) that allow us to escape to anywhere, if only for a moment!
