This is a very quick exercise to bring you back to awareness and to help with over thinking. 1) Ask yourself this question "What is the next thought I will think?" - stop and notice what you think. PS It's OK if it's nothing :-) 2) Now ask yourself "Am I aware?" - notice the awareness and stay in the awareness. Want to know more - email me about my coaching - haulwen@magicalmojocoach.com

The young woman sat on the bench, with a furrowed brow as she browsed her phone. A ping and she checked a message, a ring and she answered a call. So entwined in the hustle and bustle of the world she didn't notice the blue butterfly that landed on her arm and just waved it like she'd sensed an irritation but wasn't aware of what it was. She continued hunched over her phone, typing with one thumb, whilst eating a sandwich which it was obvious she wasn't even aware she was eating. She was so engrossed in this world of busyness she didn't notice the older wise woman who sat next to her. She didn't notice the presence of this wise woman, or the fact the grey skies were turning blue. She didn't notice the robin hopping around their feet that the woman was feeding with grain she had produced from her pocket. She didn't even notice when the wise woman said "hello". Busy, busy, busy, in the hustle, bustle modern world of doing and not being. But something was gnawing at her. a sensation she couldn't shake, she had things todo and didn't have time to acknowledge what this sensation was until a hand adorned with blue rings appeared over the screen of her phone. She jolted back into the world and looked at this wise woman, about to ask her why she'd done it. She felt anger brewing inside her but the wise woman looked at here and merely pointed at the robin. The young woman paused and became aware of the robin and watched it pecking at the ground. She looked to her food and realised she had no recollection of eating it, she had no recollection of the taste or what she had eaten. The wise woman just smiled at her and offered the young woman a slice of crisp apple. Without a word the young woman took it and placed it in her mouth. She felt her mouth fill with the sweet juices as she bit into the crisp texture. As she did she sighed and put her phone down and smiled, noticing the warm sunshine on her skin, the blue skies. She closed her eyes basking in this warm glow, allowing the troubles of the world to wash over her, and became aware of a sensation on her arm. A blue butterfly was resting upon it just sitting bathing in the sun as she was, and when she looked to the side of her the wise woman, all dressed in the same blue as this butterfly had gone. When we stop being aware, we miss the magic and wonder in the world around us. If you want to learn how to be more aware feel free tom message me about my coaching haulwen@magicalmojocoach.com

Catching your thoughts, catching your emotions before they explode into the world is something we have to learn. In the summer of 2023 I had a severe bout of anxiety and depression. It rolled over me like angry waves in stormy seas. Dark, grey, foreboding. I felt like there was a pressure building up inside me that made me want to flee, fight or freeze in the terror of it all. Yet to everyone around I looked serene. Because I was. I watched these emotions almost like they were a film on a big screen. I was aware of these emotions, these feelings were happening in my mind. I was aware of the sweaty palms, the rapid heart beat in my body. And I remained aware. I allowed these emotions to continue and in my awareness I was able to detach my mind and body from my spirit and see them for what they were. A hormonal imbalance in my mind and body, due to my peri-menopause. I am fortunate to work for myself so I could take time out, walk gently, eat well and I could let these negative emotions appear and disappear. I did not in any way try to suppress them. At one point I cried and let the tears stream down my face. and then I let them go. I let my fears appear and then disappear. I was aware of all sorts of feelings of anger, sadness, fear, hurt and guilt, sweeping over me, and I was aware of them coming and going. And I breathed and I was aware. Sitting with these negative emotions was tiring and draining. But I knew this wasn't my mind and body, it wasn't me. And that allowed me to accept and acknowledge myself and be with me. My coaching training over the years has given me the tools to do this, but I know of times previous to my training where I allowed this to happen, but then I didn't fully understand what it was that was happening. Now I can separate my thoughts, and just be. By doing this I was able to navigate this tricky moment in my life to last a few days, but without the skills and tools to understand this, it is easy to either suppress these emotions or release them on the world which is not good for anyone.

Have you ever heard the tales of people receiving enlightenment? Often you'll hear of intrepid trips around the world, or to remote places, Buddhist retreats or people who join other religious establishments.. It sounds like something that is only available to an elite few, yet it is in the grasp of all of us. We all are aware, but due to a life busy with living, with stuff we rarely have chance to acknowledge, never mind being aware, it's this awareness that can really help us to connect to our comfort zone, to our true calling and to a calmness that we can only dream of. When we tap into our awareness everything is possible. It can help us lead a way out of the dark tunnels of anger, sadness, fear, hurt and guilt. It can help us to lead us away from our worries and find bliss in this moment and the little things. It's about accepting ourselves for who we are and recognising that we have the capability of making our lives magical. It's understanding how our thoughts create feelings and how those feelings will match precisely the experience we have of the world around us. Our true nature is to look for magic, wonder and awe. It's to have positive good feelings. In my Time Line Therapy training it is said we have experienced all negative emotions by the time we are 3 years old. And some of those negative emotions may have been felt in the womb, or even in a previous life which could be passed down from generation to generation or a completely different life to the one we have now. When we experience the negative emotions of anger, sadness, fear, hurt and guilt we are aware and enlightened, when we can realise that this emotion is not being caused by an outside person or circumstance, but it is already inside you. When we believe a negative feeling is who we are, we give it more power. Suppressed negative feelings need an outlet or they can build up and consume us and we can forget we are built for happiness. We are built for magic and wonder. We are built for loving life. With awareness we can be at peace with these feelings and we can feel them appear and disappear. When you are aware of them coming and going, you don't have to react, you can just let them be. This enlightenment and awareness of yourself means you have the power within you to change how you feel in any given moment. It means instead of expecting people, circumstances and events to change to make you feel better, you can do this. It's all an inside job. It's not about pushing down and suppressing these negative feelings. This doesn't help. You need to be aware of the feeling, recognise it's a pattern and let it go. And its an ongoing process for ever, but when you gain this awareness of yourself the power is in your hands. Positive feelings are effortless, but negative feelings need a huge amount of energy to maintain them and this is depleting. Be aware and accepting of yourself. Let the negativity flow and the positivity become your natural state. If you want to learn more about how to let go of these negative feelings, feel free to message me about my coaching haulwen@magicalmojocoach.com

Title: The Cozy Zone: A Hidden Sanctuary at the Heart of Your Comfort Zone In the journey of life, we often hear the phrase "step out of your comfort zone" as a call to adventure and growth. But what if I told you that at the very core of your comfort lies a hidden gem called the Cosy Zone, a place where healing and rejuvenation take centre stage? In this short blog, we'll explore why understanding your Comfort Zone, and especially your Cosy Zone, is crucial for personal well-being. 1. Defining Your Comfort Zone: The Comfort Zone is that comforting space where you feel most at ease. It's where you perform at your best, experience lower stress levels, and generally thrive. Think of it as your own unique ecosystem, much like a tree that thrives when it receives the perfect blend of sunlight, nutrients, and temperature. 2. Discovering the Cosy Zone: Now, nestled at the heart of this Comfort Zone is the Cosy Zone—a place of respite and healing. The Cosy Zone is where you go to recharge when life's demands have left you feeling exhausted and depleted. It's the safe harbour that offers solace and restoration, akin to a tree's roots that anchor it and draw nourishment from the earth. 3. Why Knowing Your Cosy Zone Matters: a. Healing and Recovery: Your Cosy Zone is your haven for healing. Just as a tree needs optimal conditions to repair and grow, humans too need a place to recover and recharge. Knowing your Cosy Zone helps you identify where you can retreat to in times of distress and exhaustion, allowing you to emerge stronger. b.Stress Reduction: Understanding your Comfort Zone and Cosy Zone is crucial for stress reduction. By recognizing the specific conditions that allow you to thrive, you can create an environment that minimizes stress and promotes well-being. c. Differentiating Complacency and Compliance Zones: The knowledge of your Comfort Zone empowers you to distinguish it from the Complacency and Compliance Zones. While the Comfort Zone is where you thrive, the Complacency Zone may keep you stuck in a "perceived" state of contentment that inhibits personal growth. The Compliance Zone, on the other hand, may push you to conform to societal expectations, potentially causing emotional & spiritual depletion. Recognizing these zones is the first step toward balance and growth. d. Balancing Growth and Rest: Life is a dynamic journey that requires both growth and rest. Knowing your Comfort Zone and Cosy Zone enables you to strike a balance between the Challenge Zone, where you push boundaries and grow, and the need for rest and rejuvenation in the Cosy Zone. Trees grow the most when they are comfortable. 4. Embracing Your Comfort Zone: In the pursuit of personal growth and adventure, don't neglect the incredible potential that lies within your Comfort Zone to thrive and grow and, the potential for healing in your Cosy Zone. Just as a tree flourishes when it's rooted in ideal conditions, you too can thrive when you nurture your inner sanctuary. So, take the time to explore your Comfort Zone, understand the nuances of your Cosy Zone, and recognize the signs of complacency and compliance. By doing so, you'll unlock the power to heal, grow, and thrive within the boundaries of your own unique ecosystem—a place where comfort and transformation coexist harmoniously.

Adaption - that is what us humans are good at and it's why we are the most "successful" creature on this planet but when do we adapt so much, we don't notice what we have lost. Sometimes we have to adapt and grieve something we lose, but sometimes we adapt so much we don't realise we could actually be seeking help and could actually possibly find some ways to grow. I've lived with chronic fatigue syndrome since 2010 and once I was diagnosed, I was told it was what it was and that was it. Nothing anyone could do for me. So I adapted my life. I've lived with adenomyosis and endometriosis since my teens, and it took until my late 30's to be diagnosed, but most of the time I did not go to the doctors as I was told I was "making a fuss" and "it was my lot in life". So I adapted. I've lived with asthma since I was 18 years old, I have only had one bad asthma attack, and I know my triggers, cannabis smoke, (as a teen and twenty-something I hung around with bands and went to a lot of music gigs so this wasn't very helpful), the smoke from smoke machines that they have at music gigs and parties, cigarette and vape smoke. (I loved the smoking bans). Exercise has rarely triggered my asthma, I regain my breathe very quickly and have rarely needed my inhaler. My peak flow meter reading each year is high, and I need my preventative inhaler only really in hay fever season, which does trigger some coughing. Again I go to my annual asthma check up and I rarely do anything about it. But I've adapted. In 2022 I started HRT as part of my peri-menopause journey. All the symptoms I have for CFS are the same as peri-menopause and after only a few days of starting it, I felt energised for the first time in years. My brain fog lifted, I was less forgetful. I hadn't felt this for years and I was reminded about what I've lost and how I've adapted. As the weeks went on I found my joint pain had disappeared, pain which meant I could barely sit for more than 20 minutes, but I'd adapted and just listed it as another one of those things. My eczema disappeared, my dry skin, my brittle nail, the occasional dizziness I got and so much more that I'd attributed to "my lot in life" and I'd adapted. Yet I heard many in menopause groups complaining they didn't feel like they did when they were in their 20's. I realised my expectations were much lower so any small benefit was a celebration to me, but many want a magic pill and have never felt like this before, and the sudden onslaught of peri-menopause symptoms was devastating, they'd had no time to adapt, so they want a fix to it all. Where as I was happy with the small changes, as I'd grown to adapt. I realise now, that most people don't walk around feeling like they have lead weights attached to their legs. That most people didn't weigh up if they have the energy to do one thing or another. And with my HRT I realised, I had hope again for a life with more energy. And then I got my first bout of COVID in March 2023... I have never felt so ill in my life. (I lie I think my glandular fever when I was 18 was as bad) I should have gone into hospital as my blood oxygen levels were around 92/93 but occasionally dropped to 89. My mum has COPD so I got my husband to borrow one of her spare oxygen bottles. I wore an oxygen mask in bed and I admit to being scared. But as usual I didn't want to trouble the hospitals that are busy, and also I felt that I needed rest. After 3 weeks I started to feel better, but my CFS symptoms were all back and my asthma was the worst it has even been. I went to the doctor who said "what did you expect, you have all these conditions it was bound to be bad for you" I left with no support and just a shrug of their shoulders and I did what I always do, I adapted. I reduced my working hours, reduced my walking, I stopped walking up hills and only the flat. I paused on the stairs on auto pilot to prevent myself getting out of breath. I know how to quickly adapt, to quickly change my life and live it in a different way. I started looking at herbal supplements and alternative therapies and took the approach of focus on my mind, body and spirt, take it easy and of course, do it alone. In June 2023 I had my annual asthma check up, I did the score card as I had in previous years. Normally my asthma barely impacts my life, but answering those questions highlighted to me how much it had. The nurse said to me " people like you adapt quickly, and then don't ask for help. But you can get it and its not ok for you to live your life like this" - following on from this chat my asthma medication has been changed and I saw a nurse practitioner in August 2023 to review my situation. She listened. We spent 30 minutes talking. She said " I wish more people were like you, but we can help you more too" she gave me some new medications and said "we should be doing blood-works on you on a regular basis as all your medical conditions could hide something else. " And with it she said "you are an at risk category we ned to ensure you get the help you need" - Just being listened to made me feel better, knowing I wasn't doing this alone. I've been given a new drug and last night I took it and it was weird to feel so much air in my lungs, its a feeling I haven't had for so long I literally just sat their appreciating the sensation. So this is what breathing feels like to so many people. And all of this made me think about all of you. All of you who get used to being tired, get used to being depleted. Each day you adapt your life without realising it, like I have done. You stop doing something you love to allow time for the stuff you "should do". You put your own self care on hold to keep the job, look after the children, to cook the dinner. You adapt. And each time you adapt you don't even realise what you have lost until its pointed out to you, until someone stops and listens to you and you realise that it doesn't have to be like this. You don't have to be tired all the time, you don't have to lead the "hustle" life that is put on social media and in our workplaces. You can live a life that's right for you and be comfortable for the first time. We don't notice what we lose and yes sometimes those loses are permanent and we need to grieve them, but we can also know it's ok to ask for help, It's ok to ask to be listened to and it's ok to want a better life for you. And this is what I do now, I am the person to listen, I am the person to help. Whether its my free blogs and daily inspirational emails, my one to one coaching, or my membership. Know this is a place where you can ask for help and ask to be listened to. For more information, check my other pages or email me haulwen@magicalmojocoach.com

I've had a quiet summer, and I've been taking things slowly. Listening to the requests of my mind, body and spirt, for slow time. I know the time will come when I can push forward, but for now I take it easy. Yesterday I had a day off. First a visit to my GP surgery for a review on my asthma, (I'll discuss this in my next blog), as I walked down the corridor the nurse I was seeing stopped by a door and entered, by this door was a painting I'd never noticed before of a kingfisher. I paused, kingfishers are my water spirit creature. I spent over 30 minutes with the nurse practitioner, we discussed my asthma, my fatigue, my post COVID symptoms and we discussed my career as an energy mindset mentor helping women who are tired of being tired and my future book. She was impressed with my knowledge not just mentally but physically and said we needed more people like me in the world, talking to businesses and to individuals so we can reduce the stress in the world and with it reduce health complaints. I left feeling elated. One because I'd been listened too, which is often a rare thing for anyone with underlying health issues, but also knowing what I wish to do in the world is needed. After this I went out for the day with my husband. There is a town near me where there is an old fashioned taxidermist shop. Many of you will find this quite squeamish, but I do find it fascinating. They don't kill animals for taxidermy like they did in the past, but the animals on show are either roadkill or from rescue centres. In the window was a kingfisher, my second of the day. But along with the kingfisher there were 7 individual Jay's (why there were so many Jays I do not know). Jays are my Air spirit creature. So again more signs for me to follow. We browsed the shops in this town and in one there were images of Hares everywhere. My earth spirit creature. And in another shop lots of dragons, but not your normal fluffy welsh dragons that you'd expect in a Welsh tourist town, but carved wooden dragons. Dragons are my fire spirit creature. We continued to wander, and I felt a heighten sense of awareness with so many signs coming to me that day. I entered a small clothes shop and in it found a beautiful kimono with a hare on the back, I had to have it. As I purchased it the lady who ran the shop got talking to me, as I'd chosen the long one she was intrigued where I'd wear it and I explained i worked from home. From there our conversation grew asking what I did for a living and I explained about my book the Book of Personality tests, and also my energy mindset coaching and mentoring. We talked for a long time, and by the time I'd left she had my card so she could contact me to ask how she could work with me. Again I felt like I'd been given another sign I am heading in the right direction. As I work from home, I don't see many people and when I do and talk of my work with people and see the looks on their faces, I remind myself of why I need to do this and why I need to pursue this dream. Whenever I get signs like this it makes me stop and reflect, to think of what it's telling me, and connect with my own inner knowing to take the steps to the future. I know it's time to listen to my gut instinct, my intuition, to look at where it will take me and who it will link me with. Yet often we over look these signs and with it we overlook our own needs. This day made me reflect on how I want to carve out even more time for my future, for the life that I wish to lead in full. A life where I can help many. From the conversations I had it reminded me that the book i am writing is needed by so many and I need to write a version for children and teenagers too, as the path to burnout and tiredness and fatigue now starts in schools too. These things may not happen overnight, but each one of these signs says yes, I should continue and yes I can take each small step in my own unique way to get my message out there. So I ask a question of you? When did you last look for the signs? When did you pause and take note of the world around you, the people you meet. Who's path has crossed yours and made you think, yes there is another way. Take time out today to pause, to reflect and to look for the signs. Reach out to someone who has made you stop and think. Find a way to engage in a path that suits you, even if only with small steps.

Do you ever feel the nudge? I realise that as an empath and highly sensitive person that I am experiencing something that not everyone does, the nudge, and it's part of my intuition. Here are some quotes from Deborah Harkness's book a Discovery of Witches "my skin tingled as it always did when another witch looked at me" "Suddenly two icy patches bloomed between my shoulder blades. I had been seen, and not by an ordinary human observer. When one witch studies another, the touch of their eyes tingles. When a daemon takes a look, I feel the slight nerving pressure of a kiss. But when a vampire stares, it feels cold, focused and dangerous" "two nudges pressed against my cheekbone, as gentle and fleeting as a kiss" These are all descriptions from Diana Bishop the lead character a witch in the book. I completely related to this story and to the words from the vampire Mathew de Clermont, who says about her shimmering and shining so brightly "that even the humans were bound to notice" When in my last blog I said about people "checking me out" I assumed everyone knew when someone looked at them. That everyone felt the "nudge" "the tingle" but I then remember not everyone does. All my life I've felt these sensations when someone glances in your direction and you turn. I was in my local town the other day, and felt a really strong prickling sensation along the right side of my body. It was intense as though someone was gently kissing or tickling my skin. As it was raining and I had my hood up I swivelled and turned, just to see the face of a man in a van looking at me and then they were gone. Now it was someone I knew, they saw me a few days later and said "didn't you see me", but this has happened all my life. Its also a warning sign. The icy blooms mentioned above I have got on a couple of occasions and on both I have run for my life. One as a teenage girl, the car the stare came from doing a handbrake turn in the road whilst I ran like hell, and they raced after me, screeched into the carpark of the pub I was going to, I just got into the safety of the building and then they sped off. And 12- 18 months ago on one of my walks where I live, where a man came towards me and I felt the icy blooms and knew I was in danger. Did I go back the way I came down lonely lanes, go forward, stop. None were an option so I went forward and heard his pace quicken behind me and his breathing, fortunately a car came and I was able to dodge around it as he leapt into the hedge cursing. I got around the bend and ran into the village to look back and see him standing in the distance and watching him turn around and go back. Everyone has this sixth sense, but often we dismiss it as nonsense. Look at how many animals can sense another animal or person to avoid. Think of those people who make your skin crawl. Listen to these senses. Mine are amplified compared to others. Hence why being in crowds of people can be exhausting for me. Feeling all their feelings if I don't get my barriers right. I'm also aware I can shine and shimmer brightly - even more so now, as I become true to myself and people will look and not know why they look at me. But this is also why I can sense when people are "checking me out" and there are two feelings - the one that makes me feel slightly sick, as I can feel they are not looking at me in a pleasant way, but more in the lecherous way. I'd best describe this as how I imagine it would feel to have a snake slither over your body. I feel invaded, assaulted and I desire to shower and be away from them. Then there is the pleasant way - the nudge - a bit like the daemon above a slight kiss, tickle tingle. It comes and goes and when you turn to see often they will smile, will drop their eyes with a look that says they are both pleased that you looked at them but also mortified that you'd spotted them. Now in a world of social media and dating apps. we stand to loose these senses even more. To get that genuine feeling from someone that they are kind, they are nice or to get the warning signs. In my younger years I was taught to dismiss such feelings - even though they saved my life on many occasion. Now I am older I embrace them. I know I now shimmer and shine even brighter than I did before and that is my power, that is my right and I will not dim my light because of those who look without kindness. But I do know that all of you have these abilities in you, they are not lost, just hidden. Spend 1 minute everyday listening to your inner voice, your wise woman, your inner soul, spirit, sage. What are they telling you? Who should you connect with? Who should you avoid? Sit in a cafe or a park and focus on a spot in front of you and feel if you can sense any tingles, any nudges, any icy patches. It will feel different to each of us, but find it, listen to it. The love of your life may actually be a few metres from you and yet you do not see, you do not feel, you do not hear the messages around you. Just be.

Why September for me is the best time of year ... I felt it the last weekend of August. That tingle. The touch of chill in the air on an otherwise warm day like Jack Frost is reaching out and touching the back of my neck saying "I'm on my way". This time of year always feels full of hope, of anticipation, of dreams yet to be fulfilled lingering on the touch of frost in the breeze. It's the time of year to make a change, to consider what are the next steps I can take towards my ultimate dreams. There is a clip in the film Chocolat where Vianne stands on the small wooden deck over the river and closes her eyes feeling the change in the wind. That is the feeling for me. It reminds me that whatever has happened this year I can change it, it reminds me that there is always time, it reminds me there is always hope. In a world full of angst and worry this is the time of year to take stock and recognise that whatever has happened we are still fortunate. It might not seem it some times, especially when in the pandemic we are all dealing with, but we still have a roof over our heads, food in our belly and can wake up each day and smell the change in the season. This is the time of year for magic and wonder and for gratitude. It's the time of year for love and laughter, its the time of year for forgiveness, it's the time of year to learn and be curious. This year I'm committing to making large steps towards my dreams, I'm preparing now to have an even more wonderful 2021 than 2020, because for me even with this pandemic 2020 feels like a year of blessings and turning points. I'll be doing some of my witchy rituals to let go of the things I don't need, to free myself from my own inner doubts and inner burdens, to open myself to more love, to more life, to more learning. To just be me. I'm looking forward to long evenings curled up reading or listening to audiobooks, to make those little changes and those little steps to become a better me and with it, help more people to grow, to rest, to love and to laugh. It's time to reconnect, it's a time to be curious, it's a time to take another step on my journey to a destination that I know, yet don't know, that feels exciting and both scary at the same time. It's time to be me. Love and light Haulwen x

Intuition, a knowing inside you to make a decision in one direction or another. It's innate in all human beings yet like many things, we are taught from an early age not to listen to it and focus on logic instead. It's funny how we dismiss anything that hasn't got scientific evidence behind it, even if it's something we have been doing for millennia. Yet intuition is still something we don't understand fully in a scientific way. Most people do not trust their intuition, yet often it's telling us exactly what we need, everything we need to know is within us and our intuition is something we need to embrace and develop. Below are 5 steps you can take to developing your intuition; 1) Do you know when your intuition is trying to deliver a message to you? You may have been dismissing it for so long that you are not even sure how to listen to your intuition. Perhaps for you you see an image in your mind, or you feel it in your stomach. Perhaps you hear a voice in your head that feels separate to you. Perhaps your emotions get turned upside down for no reason at all. Spend this month noticing such sensations. 2) Write down your dreams and spend some time journaling on them to see if your unconscious mind is helping to point you in the right direction. 3) Be present and be mindful of everything you do in life. Note your surroundings, the colours, the smells, the sounds, etc and notice how the surroundings make you feel. Doing this can help develop intuition, by providing the unconscious with more information to inform decisions. 4) Keep a journal with you during the day and make a note of any gut feelings, or hunches you get. You can then use this as a reference to check in with later to see if these were helpful or not. 5) Make some time each day to pause and tap into your intuition. If you have an important decision to make you may want to do this a few times in a day or dedicate some time to reflect. I find going for a walk releases my intuition, but do what feels right for you to allow the answers to flow naturally, without over analysing. I'd love to hear from you if this has helped in anyway.

The 31st August 2023 is a blue moon, a blue moon occurs when there are two full moons in a month. Often people only think of being really grateful of things and noticing the good things in life, once in a blue moon. When we do this we overlook so much magic and wonder in our worlds, its no wonder we end up focusing on the negatives. This week of the blue moon I want you to focus on an area of you life that you are struggling with; if its money - focus on what you have not what you don't have. Focus on what debts have given you - a holiday, an operation. think of the positives and what you've gained from it. Thank your debts for the opportunity and then make one small step perhaps an extra £10 a month towards paying them and each time say thank you. With health issues it can be harder, but consider who you have met and brought love in to your life because of them. Perhaps your health has prevented you doing something but opened you to doing something else. It's interesting to see articles that say often the people with terminal illnesses are the most grateful as they realise how short life is, Find little things to be grateful for. Be in the moment not an imaginary future. And look for magic and wonder, love and laughter everyday. Sunshine wishes Haulwen
