House to a Home
“The Big Move” and what I thought was the last piece of the puzzle… but No…… I now know there is so much more of MY Journey to go. So back on track Anne, I hear you say. After the divorce, I had to sell the family house and buy my own home and close the door to that chapter of my life, the house market was fantastic and with a gentle shove from friends reminding me that I wanted and needed to take the leap I finally decided to follow through. The time was right and I had a…

To the UK and Back!
It was a long time coming and a lot happened between the COVID-19 outbreak and my divorce, so yes, this trip was way overdue. It was also very much needed. I took a direct flight as I did not have much time to spare and due to the unpredictability of flight cancellations coupled with pilot shortages post COVID, I certainly didn’t want to risk losing a day or two of vacation bliss! I mean, who does? I like to be in control of my time, yes, I know “surprise,” and I may be even a little bit of a…

I survived the chaos, you can too!
The Back Story……. This post started as a journal shall we say, a process to off load my feelings and what was and had been a large part of my life, it was a form of therapy to help me to move on. It was very raw to start and while working with Kristin Browning (Personal Coach) and talking through my experiences I refined the story so that it made sense and could be a guide for me going forward, a guide to look back on and help keep me on track. Whilst working with Kristin and discussing further…

Austin
Dodgies or not… that is the question…. Wow where to start.. I guess the beginning makes sense. My birthday was coming up and I needed to get away, my girlfriends (The Dodgies) couldn’t make this trip, so I decided to fly solo and head to Austin anyway! I stayed at The Driskill hotel the Driskill had a rich history.. by that, I mean as you enter it feels as if you are walking back to a time of pure decadence with all its spectacular decor. This hotel is beautiful and ideally placed near music and great food, for me…

Angst
You know what it is, it’s that feeling, the one that you get just below your ribs a sensation caused by thoughts of doubt, guilt that ultimately causes anxiety. In my mind, I visualize it as, lets say the arc reactor that Iron Man has in his chest, except in this case instead of positive light providing energy or life it is negative light draining our energy and bringing us down. As much as we try we can’t stop it, it is all consuming ! Now, imagine what it would be like if we could physically pull the…

A compliment a day !
Compliments from other women…. Having complete strangers (mostly women) say you are “Amazing”, “On Point”, have your “Shit Together”, you are ‘Badass” and the latest you are ”Juicy“ ???? Which I questioned as it could be taken so many different ways, right?….. So when I asked what this meant, the amazing young lady said that the term came up when speaking with her aunt. Her aunt told her that she needed to be less serious, enjoy life, be less closed of and abrupt in her responses whether it be due to a situation or simply life, her aunt…

Alyn Vaughn, blew me away!
Whilst shopping in a cute area of Nashville on 12rh South Avenue my friends and I came across a cool pop-up on the edge of the street. They were selling jewelry which was unique and very cool, but there was also an inspiring story behind it. The booth was hosted by Nancy, the co-founder of Alynvaughn.com and a young student from a local school. The student spoke to us with a confidence you would expect from someone much older and provided details about the jewelry explaining the way in which it was made, how it could be worn and…

“Pink” or was it?
I was recently in Buena Vista, CO taking one of my favorite long weekends away from work and life in general. Buena Vista is a place that has kept its small town vibe and which has exquisite scenery as well as a ton of outdoor activities that include Hiking 14ers, Kayaking and White Water Rafting to mention a few. I like to visit alone and take time to reflect on the past and let it go, something we all need to do in order to move into the future and as always I frequent a few places in the…
