find your place

why stepping back can help you move forward

Earlier this week we had a few days in Derbyshire at a place where we've stayed before. We weren't disappointed. The hotel is located in a small village, quite off the beaten track, and situated in several acres of grassland, tree lined paths and with views stretching away into the distance. It was bliss! A true sanctuary …

dealing with burnout and bumps in the road

Sometimes you're merrily chugging along, thinking you have a plan, perhaps not entirely sure of your destination, when you hit a bump in the road. I did this a couple of weeks ago. It hit me quite unexpectedly and I ground to a halt. In fact, I temporarily took down this website and associated social media accounts, I felt …

how being in flow helps us reconnect to our source

About ten years ago I started exploring an idea that I called essence. It was something I believed was at the core of each of us, a unique marker, a distillation of everything we are. Essence is our individual signature, a combination of what we love and cherish, our passions and interests, our strengths and talents. …

the blind woodturner and the archetypal hero’s journey

When I started making my plans for Seed to Source, I listed eBooks, eCourses, a book, blog posts, Medium posts, newsletters as my target tasks. I'm starting to get into the swing of writing and making content, and into the rhythm of a weekly routine. Plans have come and gone, been tweaked, revisited and pared down, settling into …

pear-shaped plans and going with the flow

Last week, I wrote about planning my week. It was all going so well! I was on track with the plan, blog posts were written and appearing on schedule, I was pretty much up to date with everything on my list. Then this week, it all went a little pear shaped! Monday was something of a black hole. We had come home from a …

why resonance is the key to finding your tribe

It’s such a long time since I started following Paul Jarvis, I can’t remember when I first discovered his website. I’ve always found his style and process compelling - to me, in an online world of relentless self-promotion, it demonstrates how simple a successful online business can be. You don’t need a graphic-laden website or …

how I regrouped and pared down my plans

A few weeks ago I came across a website, A Bookish Baker, created and written by Helen Redfern. It was to be a turning point. I'd been heading in one direction and had lost my way. I'd started working on an idea that very rapidly lost its appeal. Discovering Helen's website showed me a potential blueprint for the type of …

walking with your camera to spark your creativity

Today one of the tasks on my to do list was to take some photos for my blog. A good excuse for a walk along the canal, down my favourite stretch, an unused section now blocked at one end. I love this part of the canal because the waterway is slightly overgrown. Occasional fallen trees have become part of the landscape. There …

how to find your oomph when it goes missing

Just when you think you know where you're heading. Wham! The brakes slam on. I had a great plan. Or at least I thought I did but slowly my oomph leaked away until I came across A Bookish Baker. Mentioned by Katya Willems in her newsletter, it turned out not to be the first time I'd come across Helen Redfern. I was already …
