If only the if onlys weren't such an automatic default! I have a lot of practising to do. Articles like yours are the perfect reminder. Thank you for this wonderful piece of writing, yet again, Annabel

I love this. And I love Steinbeck's quote too! I just read your comment about it appearing this morning as a confirmation and it made me smile at the endless mystery of life...

Ah, this is the first I've read from you since subscribing (following Farrah's session last week) and I love it! Not least because it made me feel that I might meet someone afterall and that I don't have to go back to online dating if I don't want to (I don't). And in the interim, I shall continue loving my life.

What do you think about gratitudes and manifestations - I feel the two ideas are not mutually exclusive, you can gratitude for things you want but don't yet have while at the same time being truly grateful for, and appreciating, what you do - and without pressure, with a knowledge that there is no hurry (that's something I say to myself all the time as I'd fit twenty things in a day if I could, for fear of not being able to experience all that I want to).

Lovely piece of writing, thank you.
