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

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…
I first learned about and studied the 5 Stages of Grief by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross while studying for a report on grief in 2012. At the time, I myself was consumed by grief and couldn’t really understand what was happening to me. Knowing about the 5 Stages of Grief gave me a great understanding of what I was going through and here I explain it in … Continue reading MeghannMix | The 5 Stages of Grief
This is me – I took this video a few days ago, on Monday, when I was feeling low and sad. 95% of the time I’m in great form, outgoing, adventurous, creative, happy and enjoying everyday, but there are moments, namely anniversary’s, that I’m not quite myself. I’m quiet, low in energy and just, well, sad. Earlier this week it just hit me like a … Continue reading MeghannMix | This Is Me
