about me

My photo
Married to Nick for 13 years, with 2 children; Sabrina - 12 and Dominic - 11. I am a girlfriend through and through in that I love girly things and anything that celebrates the essence of being a woman. I love vintage, shabby chic, the country and try my best to do my bit for the environment. SO yes...we have 3 bins in our house and try our best to recycle! I believe that with everything in life, the closer we stick to nature, the better off we'll be. I would love to have a balance in life, but have learnt that balance is not always possible, so strive for significance instead, in the hopes that that will be just as meaningful, and the rest will hopefully follow.

Time....

           It's so close....I can hear the music. see the lights. smell the mince pies...feel the joy.

Today was Coffee Club.  There were 13 of us....9 of us regular 'coffee love'-ers, 2 visitors that popped in - we luuurve welcoming newies:-)))), and two precious baby girls added to the mix - we figured that's the next generation taken care of - LOL....our two little babies went round and round the coffee table, getting loved, and hugged and smothered in pink, fluffy kisses, totally entranced - they in turn, made us MELT.

You know the saying that says...when we take more time, we have more of it...my Wednesday morning magic puts me in that happy space....I've sooo needed that after busy weeks with children's exams, and lots of DIY happening on the home front ...and work. 

The strangest thing happened a few weeks ago....
I sat down and said..."God...you know my heart, and where it is and wants to be, and you know it's in the right place, so if you don't mind, could you handle things for me while I spend my time and energy on things I think you would want me to be taking care of right now".  Just to be sure, I ended with........now remember, you promised, you've got my back....

It's amazing how, since I had 'THE TALK', I've been able to 'take more time, and have more of it', where I've needed to...sometimes it's all about just saying...this is what I need right now......
