What a super weekend, and completely unexpected as I wasn't looking forward to it at all. Very relaxing and achieved everything I wanted to. It was good to see the dentist so calm and so much happier than earlier in the year. Also to spend time with JS and have the courage to be honest with her about her situation. I am wondering whether it is worth writing to reinforce that only she can help herself. The NHS could provide the best service in the world, RMS could nag her or help her every day, but she is the only one who can bring about improvements in her health. No-one can do the exercises for her - it's her muscles that need to strengthen and develop and only she is the only one who can do that for herself. At least she recognises that something needs to be done now and maybe her visit to someone in similar cirucumstances will spur her on.
It was a beautiful day yesterday too and the garden looks good, especially the back which is developing into an attractive area at last. All in all a very successful three days.

Super evening with H, G and grandies yesterday. What a smashing family. So pleased to have permission to take No. 1 skiing in Jan. He really excelled this year. Hope we will be joined by a parent - which one is up to them to decide.
One thing missing from the summer is our usual boat trip, not that it would have been easy to fit one in. TTB took the Sword down to Spain - his last big trip, he says, and hopefully had a good time. We have had good fun together over the years, but somehow the Midget episode has soured it all a little. Still, life moves on and things change - that's how it is. If we resist change or try to remain still, we'll just suffocate.

Again it's a while since I added my thoughts here. September today and the summer is almost over - a good one though with many sunny days in France with friends and super grandchildren. Happy memories of amazing sandcastles, oysters and white wine and, earlier on, learning to tolerate the excentricities of friends without spoiling a holiday. Also not quite knowing whether to be flattered or annoyed that my very ex ex has trawled through my sites and clearly committed the content to memory - strange chap!
But now it's time to look forward to embracing the freedom to focus on growing my successful therapy practice to its full potential.... and helping my clients to realise their full potential too. I'm looking forward to learning and training opportunities and to providing appropriate, individual, solution focused therapy in a tranquil environment.

What a change for the better since learning my core process words, Embracing Freedom. I have made some conscious changes and other things are happening - all positive. Reviewing posts from earlier this year, how different I feel now. Client numbers have increased dramatically, I finally feel in control of my destiny and am looking forward to exploring lots of new ventures in the future, now that I am free of my limiting, draining employment. Onwards and upwards - where to next, I wonder!

Feeling really low today about disagreement with Heath. Not inclined to call her or think about a birthday card or present. I guess it will heal in time. I feel really let down at the moment though. And my finger hurts - that'll teach me to act like a teenager!

Returned from a fantastic skiing holiday, restored by fresh new snow and brilliant sunshine. Great tributes from all participants, except my darling daughter who wanted more of me. Kids - we never get it right! Ah well, move on, I suppose and don't allow the great memories of super skiing and company be spoiled by one person's negative feedback.
Good news that I can offer a client with PTSD 5 sessions through her insurance company. I am looking foward to working with this young girl and helping her regain her confidence and equilibrium.
Working on my flyer offering free taster sessions of life coaching and hypnotherapy. No so sure about the hypnotherapy, as one session is often enough to effect a dramatic change. Also planning to publish info. about the coaching evaluation project - more of that later.

Sharing my thoughts and ideas with the world out there. A week of new experiences - first Skype, now a blog. Where will it all end?
More later .........
