In the Flow Academy we are just starting our latest 40 day challenge, which feels more like a beautiful adventure right now.

I am minded that we are all on a journey through this amazing adventure called Life.

There are times when we are floating gently along and all seems well, and other times when it feels crazy - either too busy, too stressful,...

As we journey through life we experience ups and downs, excitement and despair, love and sadness, passion and fear, and a myriad of other emotional states as wonderful human beings.

I liken the journey of life to the flow of a river.

Imagine, when you are born you arrive at the source of your river of life. A pre-chosen river of life that we will...

We are all very aware of the threat of Covid-19 - I can't believe that anyone could have escaped this....

We are also aware the benefits of a 'healthy lifestyle'. But just what does this mean? And, how do I 'get one'!

Well, surprise surprise this is not something that you can just buy. It is a commitment to doing a range of things that support your body...

The perfect gift is an illusion! 

With Christmas coming, the stress many feel about choosing the right gift, let alone a perfect gift, can be immense. The pressure to spend money that suggests 'the more you spend shows you love someone more' has always been abhorrent to me. With glossy wrapping it is easy to think that is enough.

Saturday 26 September - reactions to some daft actions!

Sometimes we do the craziest of things.... and then we can't see the way forward... ever been there?

I bumped the central heating timer switch and managed to turn the whole system off during a very cold spell - oops! Worse, this isn't the first time I've done that..

Oh well, let's hope it is a...

Day 1 of the second wave of UK lockdown measures - 24 September 2020.

As the world grapples with how to save lives and slow the spread of the Covid-19 Coronavirus, we are each going through our own inner challenge.

I am capturing my views and observations, as we, here in the UK, go back into restrictive measures after a summer that saw many exploring...

On my quest for a challenge and taking me out of my comfort zone, I recently went for one day intro to paddle boarding! 

It was not a success in terms of standing on the board and gliding effortlessly through the sea.  I was the first to fall off backwards and the first to fall off forwards too!  No shame! No tears!  Just a lot of...

This quote from ‘The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down’ by Haemin Sunim, struck me very deeply.

In 1996 I spent six weeks...

Wow, the last six weeks has flown by!

2020 will definitely be a year to remember...

Broke my arm on 1st June and here we are in July. The cast came off on Friday and it isn't pretty but it is what it is. So time to get on with building strength and flexibility in a weird looking wrist.

Learning new things daily and finding confidence and positivity to...
