Evolution and mergers

Evolution seems to feature strongly in all that I do at present and I have decided that I really quite like it. I like it especially when I am in the right mind set to trust that things will go as I want them to. It feels natural and calming.

My Walkers' Coach site is continuously evolving as ideas flow and I try out and toss around many new things. The site is out there but I am well aware that it is unlikely to remain static in any way for the next number of months. It needs to be used and then to grow as a result. For me I like this flow and momentum. How about you? Can you go with the flow or does it make you uncomfortable? Would you like to be able to be in that mode or are you happy where you are?

When I started blogging about a year ago my blog was around the work that I did but as I introduced more walking into my life a walking blog also was established. However, coming back to evolution, I have found trying to regularly write two blogs and three newsletters a bit of a challenge so I am going with the flow and merging my blogs. Now you will get one that is the essence of me and my passions - my coaching, my walking, my love of travel, food and drink. They all sit well together.

Making the most of the moment

Today was truly one of those 'glad to be alive days' and it was like that right from the moment the alarm went off. If the truth be told, I was awake anyhow but not wanting to open my eyes - I was savouring every moment. When I did open my eyes though , I could see the blue sky through the curtains and that was all I needed to propel me out of bed and into the walking gear. I hit the streets at 7.15 a.m. and it was bliss. Not that many folk about, clear air, space and I loved it. It's such a great start to the day.

Breakfasted, showered and feeling great I opened the door just after 9.00 to Ginny who I had not spent any really good quality time with for ages and we proceeded to catch up while enjoying the sun in the garden as we sipped on glasses of water - the simple things in life but how precious they are.

Today I did what I wanted to do. Today I enjoyed the sunshine and the lack of deadlines. Today I took time out for others who I wanted to spend time with.

Recently there have been incidents regarding health, mostly of others which pull you up fast and make you aware of how we do not know what is in store for us. In so many cases, people need to go through traumatic times to realise how precious things are. I am trying to learn from that and live in the moment and make the most of what is on offer. Today it was the sunshine. I shall try and do the same tomorrow. Are you making the most of things?
