Watching the sunset

This evening as I pulled into the car park at Herne Bay sea front the sun was setting, I saw my friend that I hadn’t seen in person for so long. I pulled in to a space near by opened the door, jumped out and hugged her, my heart full of happiness.

We went to a stylish Turkish restaurant where the food was delicious and I was able to see the sunset in the distance from our table.

We met when we both worked at a big high street company back in 2012. Today we reflected how our lives have changed since then and never did either of us think we we be where we are now.

I am so proud of my friend and her achievements, a next chapter for her starts soon and I am so excited for her and I cannot wait to catch up when she is back. This evening she brought happiness into my day and that’s what true friends will always do.

My friend booked A La Turka – Herne Bay which I would highly recommend. Oh and I loved decor and lights.

What’s love worth?

To give someone a piece of your heart, is worth more than all the wealth in the world – Michael Jackson –

You see as much as we like to believe that people want our love, so often it’s the material things that matter. But what have they got to show?

Over the years I have worked incredibly hard to make my way up the ladder to get a good position at work. It’s not been easy and the higher you go the more responsibly that goes with it and often the hours get longer. I decided that I would not over work and that I would try and make that ‘perfect’ work life balance. Meaning for me to stop always wanting that little bit more, to just relax and enjoy this time with my family.

Traveling is something that brings us together as a family, from a walk up a mountain to a family vacation abroad. Things don’t always have to cost the earth, it’s about having no distractions, and having each other. For me love is priceless, it’s shown in the way we treat each other. No matter your job or your money remember love is free.

It is what it is….

I am me, I am who I am, love me or hate me your choice. I do what I feel is right, I act the way I believe is right and ultimately life is what it is.

Why does so much effect our mental health? Why do most people care so much about material things and why do we feel responsible for things beyond our control? It is what it is.

There are things we can do, but so often things cannot happen instantly and we feel bad, but it is what it is.

Sometimes we should think it is what it is, but other times should think is this what it should be? Is this how it should be?

Wednesday Wisdom

Paradise is not a place; it’s a state of consciousness. -Sri Chinmoy-

Spending time with my Mum is one of my favourite things, I wish that I could spend more time with her. This summer we spent time together on a family mini break to Arundel, this picture is from when we were walking West Wittering Beach.

I love how independent she is, I thank her for all that she has taught me. I admire how she cares for me. I love how she supports me. I am so lucky 🍀 what an amazing mum I have ❤️👩‍👧

First Look

I love it when I’m exploring places that I don’t know – what’s around the corner – what’s through the trees – what’s the other side of the building. We should embrace the unknown in every aspect of our life as we will encounter so much of it all through our lives. #TuesdayThoughts

Cycling Clowes Wood

Since I was young I was always taken to Clowes Wood, we would take our family dogs down whilst our parents would walk we would often be allowed take our bikes.

Fast forward a few years and I now often bring my children here.

It’s a beautiful woods at all times of the year, with good clear paths.

This weekend just gone we took our bikes for my first proper bike ride since I had an accident whilst I was on a charity bike ride earlier this year. I was nervous I’m not going to lie, it’s been 12 weeks and I still have pain and have to sleep in an unusual position at night. So going through these familiar woodlands was a good place to start back at something I love so much.

The woods have the ‘crab and winkle way’ running through them. This means if you park at the woods you can choose to either ride into Canterbury or into Whitstable. We personally prefer going to Whitstable it’s a really wonderful seaside town.
