What’s The Story is my brand new TV show. It is in association with Eason and is available on the Virgin Media Player. I’ve always dreamt of presenting my own show and as an author, getting to present a show about books, is a match made in heaven. But, it is also something I manifested. Let’s go back to this time last year when we … Continue reading What’s The Story…
AS the evening gets darker and the cold sets in, I wanted to set myself a new challenge. But also invite you to join me so we can learn from one another. While I love this time of the year, I do notice a change in my mood. I have less energy, I want to spend more time indoors, my pyjamas go on earlier, I … Continue reading Wellness Wednesday…1
Welcome to the final Mindful Monday in this series. The MEG Method When I began writing Little Pocket of Love, I needed something to put my stamp on it. Something that could become synonymous with my work and my writing. I guess when the realisation struck that I am an author and I got beyond the Imposter Syndrome, I was able to fully accept my … Continue reading Mindful Monday…6
Adults often think that children aren’t listening, aren’t aware of what is happening. We feel, we hear and we see. My parents separated when I was a toddler. I have very vivid memories of my childhood, mainly the break up and Dad moving out. I don’t want to share too much detail but our parents often told us to stay in another room while they … Continue reading Mindful Monday…5
You, Too, Can Overcome Grief This week’s message, which I took at random from my book, Little Pocket of Love. When we are in the depths of grief, the thoughts of overcoming that searing pain, sadness and anger, seems impossible. But as my idol Audrey Hepburn once said “Nothing is impossible, the word itself says I’m possible”. Think about that for a moment. It is … Continue reading Mindful Monday…4
Remember, it’s a breakthrough not a breakdown. This quote appeared in Broken Love and Little Pocket of Love. Let’s rewind to 2011 where I lay on the cold dark tiles of my student accommodation in Galway. My chest heavy with grief, my face an ocean of tears. The weight of my heart and pain within my soul felt like a magnet on that floor and … Continue reading Mindful Monday…3
Welcome back to Mindful Monday. Here is your second quote from my book Little Pocket of Love: “Acceptance seems unachievable when you are in pain. And for some people, they live and die never accepting what has happened. And that’s a tragedy in itself. You now have a chance to learn to accept the past, to grow and to move on. You are here, so … Continue reading Mindful Monday…2
Welcome to Mindful Monday. Every Monday for the next six weeks I am going to share insight into Little Pocket of Love by sharing a quote and the meaning behind it. ‘Me Time’ is something I have spoken about in my debut book, Broken Love as well as my latest book, Little Pocket of Love. It’s something I only really started to focus on in … Continue reading Mindful Monday
My second book is here and I’m delighted to share it with you. What a year it has been for every single one of us. There’s a story on this book from writing it, changing it, delayed printing, design changes, Bali, Bali cancelled, lockdown 3.0. This project changed many times. I wrote a full book and it didn’t flow or seem right and it was … Continue reading Little Pocket of Love
But I was never truly gone. The past year has been emotional, memorable, highs, lows, loneliness and finding my true self. Pre March 2020, I was working seven days a week, between Limerick, Cork, Dublin and Galway. It was non stop but I loved it all. Socialising at the weekends. Burn out became a fear of those around me but I get energised with the … Continue reading I’m back…
