It's a baby flamingo, no explanation needed!

AMAZON World has announced the arrival of its first flamingo chick born at the zoo since it opened in 1990.

Do you ever stop yourself from feeling anything simply because you feel bad, sad or worried?

That is me today! I am feeling mildly anxious about return to school! My youngest starting school is throwing me off track. Now don't misunderstand me, I love the time and space that school days give me to grow, create, work and live my adult life again, and don't relish every moment with my cherubs (they drive me nuts, but I do love em!) But it is new, it a transition into my next chapter, their next chapter, they continue to move out of my safe circle of safety and control. I am having to let go of them little by little, and I don't like it today!

I don't like it yet.

I don't enjoy it yet.

I am not happy yet.

But I am going to change the way I feel, because this spiral of negative thought will not serve me, or my kids!

I need to allow myself to feel the fear of school and all it brings (which is mainly my lack of ability to make it all ok, yep control freak!!) Because by feeling the fear, I can then let it move on and become happy, become excited!

So this morning I am sad my kids are growing up so quickly, that they may feel pain, and worry, that their needs may not be 100% met in a failing school system. I am sad that I can't micro manage every element of their lives to make is gentle, kind and all soft focus lovelyness. I am sad that by feeling out of control of this situation all my old insecurities pop up (body hate being no.1) I am sad that I am not allowing myself to feel happy and joyful because I am blocking all feelings because I don't want to feel sad.

So I think it's time to feel happy again. I am writing this here as a form of therapy for me, and in the hope that if you feel sad or anxious or worried that you simply allow it, because that way you allow the happy as well.

We don't have a feelings filter, we feel the whole spectrum, or nothing. And today I choose to feel whatever I am feeling, so I can allow the happy back in!

Feel it, it's ok xx

Coming soon to Cornwall, the day spa you have been looking for!

The space you need to rest, revive, heal and grow.

A space created just for women. Take the time to simply 'be' but without the stuffiness of a big spa, with a therapist who is there just for you, who is dedicated to your care and wellbeing.

Heart centred therapies created just for you, to help you step into the fabulous being that you truly are.

This is a day retreat with big personality, for the woman who craves more, who deserves something a little bit different, who doesn't want to be lectured, or changed, just cared for supported and encouraged on her own personal journey.

You want the best of everything, but rarely allow yourself to have it, now is your time....XX
