Are You Like Oprah?

"Some women have a weakness for shoes...............

I can go barefoot if necessary. I have a weakness for books" Oprah

I really LOVE this quote. If you ask my friends and family 

they are likely to say this quote best sums me up .

Altho' best don't ask my husband about the weakness for bags 

which he might add is also a medical condition. 

Needless to say I will do anything to get hold of a book 

I want to read.... and I mean anything!

How's this for a cosy nook to read in?

This would be my fav reading nook

...or perhaps this one 

And yes, I ALWAYS do the above.

I currently have 6 new books on my

bedside table all with the first chapter

read only!

Are books your weakness?

Where's your fav place to read?

What's the last book you bought?

What's the best read so far this year?

Are you a one book at a time girl?

Would love to hear your "bookish" recommendations

Note to Self

Sometimes it might not look like it.........

it might not feel like it.......you may feel like giving up.

But that  thing you are working on, that you

have put your heart and soul into for so long....

it really is happening

It may be going slower than you want.

It may not be taking shaping according to YOUR

timetable.

But stop constantly taking score

It IS unfolding.

Enjoy this part of the journey.

When you get to your destination will

you look back and wish you savored every step

because now you realise that every difficult step was

wrapped in fabulousness?

You really can't feel the good stuff unless you

know what the bad stuff feels like.

Keep going.

Don't you DARE give up.

You really are closer than you realize.

Just look around and appreciate how far you have come.

Happy journey lovelies.

Don't you dare give up.....

I'm watching you ;-)

How's your "journey" going gorgeous girl?

Dare You Let Go?

One thing that the season of Autumn always forces me

to do is purge i.e let go.

It's a season when I look at letting go of perhaps

unwanted pounds that have crept on (those fat cells

are STILL living rent-free on my hips; time to evict)

letting go of  old habits that no longer serve me

such as worry (even when there's nothing to worry about),

such as always nurturing others before myself

such as checking e.mails first thing in the morning

(I read that people who delay checking e.mails

until the afternoon, are more productive)

It could even be letting go of friendships I know are toxic

(this is a really hard one for me, and one I am not good at)

Maybe it's letting go of  perfectionism

or

being the best multi-tasker you know

(is that really how you want to be

remembered?)

Maybe it's just letting go 

of a heavy blogging timetable

Or spending less time on social media

Usually our heart and soul knows exactly what it's time

to let go of.

Maybe it's letting go of the excuses for really not

pursing your dreams.

But it's sometimes our brains that give us reasons to 

not follow our hearts and clamp

our sweaty little fingers even tighter around the thing we 

should be letting go of.

However, sometimes when the seasons change, it's a good 

time to let go and make way for the new.

If we just get quiet, get brave and listen very carefully

our heart will tell us what we need to let go of

What do you really want to let go ? It doesn't have to be something

very deep or profound.

It would be just lovely to hear what new spaces you are making 

in your life this season
