Sometimes, the most profound moments arrive when you’ve finally stopped looking. My day drew to a close with one such unexpected grace, a butterfly that didn’t just brighten my garden, but somehow, brightened my very being. Just a few days ago, I’d been on a lovely second walk with a dear friend at Waterside in…

Oh, life. It’s a beautiful, messy, wonderful whirlwind, isn’t it? Especially for those of us juggling a million things – whether it’s work, family, or just the glorious chaos of everyday living. We often find ourselves pouring out energy from morning till night, feeling like a constantly running tap. And let’s be honest, that tap…

You know those days that start like any other, but then quietly unfold into something truly special? That was my walk home from school with the girls today. It began with my youngest holding a single, delicate feather she’d found. As we set off, I let my mind drift into that familiar post-school pickup calm,…

Oh, what a delightfully chaotic day it’s been! You know those mornings where your duvet seems to possess an otherworldly power, wrapping you in a comfort so profound you forget the very concept of “getting up”? Yeah, that was me.

My walk home, an hour and a half of undulating, meandering roads, is slowly becoming a comforting rhythm in my life. Yet, I confess, there are days when the thought of embarking on it, especially under a scorching sun, makes me hesitate. Today was one such day. But armed with half a bottle of water…

As I journeyed home on the 8.5 hours coach ride, my thoughts drifted back to my recent Sheffield trip, a visit steeped in the warmth and love of family as we celebrated the soon-to-arrive new addition. Beyond the sheer delight of family connections, I’d found myself looking forward to treading new ground, quite literally. At…

Today, my mindful miles led me on a truly special journey alongside Esther, a dear friend whose heart carries the enduring memory of her dad. It’s been almost three years since he left us, and in a beautiful act of love and remembrance, Esther plans to walk an incredible 26.2 miles in Northumberland this September…

It’s a question I hear quite often, whispered with a mix of curiosity and perhaps a touch of wonder: “How do you do it? How do you get all your steps in, every single day, especially with the beautiful chaos of young children and everything else life throws your way?” While I wholeheartedly believe there’s…
