Vulnerability is not a Weakness

Being authentic is at the heart of vulnerability and is an act of courage. We put ourselves out there to connect, to love, to be creative… without any guarantees of the response, the outcome.

True relationships are built on authenticity. It is easier to build defensive walls rather than removing these barriers and allowing ourselves to be seen. It takes to brave heart to up and in doing so we can embrace the freedom of joy.

The Plus+ of Caminos

 

 Caminos present many benefits from walking their trails. For me I have received greatly from them – inspiration for my books has been just one of the gifts.

Mental Clarity and Disconnection from the routine of our daily hectic lifestyle is possibly up there as one of the top 5 bonuses. Walking the trails in nature we can gain another perspective of our life and an opportunity to reset.

Our physical wellbeing improves with the added benefits of a more toned and trimmer  body.

Reflection for me is one of the greatest benefits. The way opens us up providing time and space while walking the varied terrains for self- discovery.

Social Connection is available sharing the way with strangers. Later it may deepen into friendships as stories are exchanged.

Experiencing the cultural in the towns and its people is an added bonus.

 

My latest gift from my Caminos will be launching of my 3rd book “On Camino Once More – 7 Keys to Embrace the Freedom of Joy” in Galway Ireland 28th May 2026 .

 

Let the Camino open you up and work its magic on you – Join my 5 Day Retreat in Finisterre, Galicia  Sept 2026.

 

Buen Camino!

Let No One Steal Away the Uniqueness of Your Being

Each and every one of us has been given gifts and talent to express them in our unique, one-of-a-kind way.

There is no need to listen to the harsh put downs of another.

It is well to remember that we are all one – there is one above us and equally there is no one below us.

Just express yourself , stand tall, in the uniqueness of your own Being.

Importance of pausing between projects

Importance of taking  a breath  between projects – enjoy your achievements

 

Often times we tend to go from one major project to the next without taking a breath. All the time we seem to be continually propelling ourselves forward in a “doing mode” – moving seamlessly from one project to the next

  • Without acknowledging our efforts and time devoted to the project
  • Without acknowledging the challenges overcome
  • Without appreciating our bodies and minds to get to the finish line

We need to pause, take a breath to appreciate our commitment to following through on our goals and the end result. We need to realise the power of our focus on our true choice, and desire behind creating the specific goal. Then we need to celebrate our commitment to ourselves  in taking the necessary aligned action to our goal including the obstacles overcome along the way.

It is important to celebrate our commitment to ourselves – staying true to our choices and the desire of achieving the end result. We also need to recognise the concentration of applied actions and commitment to our success.

The time is now right to take a breath, enjoy your creative genius and the manifestation of your goal – always celebrate the achievement of the end result.

 

 

 

 

The importance of Goal Setting and Vision – especially in Retirement

Goal Setting and having a Vision is important.
Just because you have retired or REWIRED in post work life does not make goals and vision redundant. If anything it is highly relevant to the newest phase of your life.
The usual way for setting business goals is using the acronym SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Timebound).
I have recently got to thinking about the “A” in these SMART goals. This “A” stands for Achievable – so really is that so amazing. I think not. Where is the MAGIC to them, to our heart true desires?
Why not substitute it for another “A” as in Amazing. Here we can set our True Desire (Goal) and not be limited by the lesser “achievable” version. Simply by focusing on our True Desire and holding our focus to the Vision of it we can receive inner guidance (intuition) to the next actions to take towards goal manifestation and not use logical action steps but rather follow the magic of aligned inspired action.
I would really love to get your thoughts and comments on this. Looking forward to hearing from you.
