Here I am, back on the rock I once called home.

It’s quite bizarre, really. I left Scotland in 2003 when I was 12. Then in 2018, I left the island to move to England and never really felt the need to come back. Our family holidays became Malta, Santorini, Cyprus… because after knowing this island like the back of my hand, I wanted to see more of the world.

But the truth is, it still feels like home.
Some great memories, and some not so great — but home all the same.

Where my heart lies.
Where I feel happiest.
By the beach, watching the sunset, with the sea air against my skin.

Mini M’s time here feels long lost now — she barely remembers it at all — but watching her swimming in the sea like the little fish she is reminds me that a piece of her heart belongs here too.

I’ll never move back. We’ve built a wonderful life in the UK, and I’ve built a successful business supporting incredible business owners. But it’s nice to be back.

And that’s the beauty of running a virtual business like mine — I can work from anywhere in the world while still helping tired, overworked business owners focus on what they do best.

If you're a sole trader, chances are you started your business because you're brilliant at something.

Maybe you're a therapist, a photographer, a consultant, or a tradesperson. You had a skill, a passion, and the drive to build something of your own.

What nobody warned you about was the admin.

The emails that pile up while you're with a client. The invoices that need chasing. The diary that somehow books itself into chaos. The social media that you know you should be posting on, but haven't touched in three weeks.

Sound familiar?

Read my short blog to find out which 5 tasks you should outsource to a Virtual Assistant.

🎉 I forgot my birthday!

MI Virtual is 2!

Two years ago, I had a 9-year-old preparing for her first major surgery and was on maternity leave with a 10-month-old baby.

Realistically, we knew that returning to work, managing childcare, and then taking parental leave to support my eldest through recovery just wasn’t feasible. So, I made the decision to start my own VA business — and MI Virtual was born.

In those two years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting some truly incredible business owners. I now work regularly with my six core clients, alongside a range of shorter-term projects and ad-hoc tasks.

Since then, life hasn’t slowed down — my eldest has had another major surgery (with her third just around the corner), and my “baby” is now nearly three!

Last week, I spent the day celebrating the 6-year anniversary of one of my clients’ businesses, and only when I got home did it hit me — I should be celebrating too!

So, huge congratulations again to Magdalena at PelviCare — and a big pat on the back to MI Virtual for two whole years of quietly working behind the scenes, cheering on and supporting the success of my wonderful clients. 💜

75 miles for Birmingham Children’s Hospital Charity 🚶🏽‍♀️

Only 25 miles to go!

Yesterday we ventured up to Burbage Common with Jessie the dog for an early evening stroll.

The farmers have been out cutting the grass and moving the hay bales. The perfect photo opportunity for my girls 😬

56.8 miles so far!

We are past the halfway point of 100 miles in August for the Birmingham Children's Hospital Charity!

M had a wonderful gift come through the post today, a medal marking her £100 donation.

I'm so grateful to everyone who has donated, but the main goal here is to raise awareness for such a wonderful charity, and the work that they do.

We are so close to M's 3rd surgery in as many years, and the team at B*H will be keeping their skilled and watchful eyes on her!

Please share this post, share the link, raise awareness for the individuals who work incredibly hard at keeping our young children safe.

Businesswoman of the Year — what an accolade.

I’m truly honoured to receive this nomination. Impostor syndrome is hitting hard!

The truth is, this isn’t just about one moment or one person — it’s a reflection of consistency, commitment, and the people around me who make it all possible.

Thank you to my fellow VA's, clients, and everyone who continues to believe in the vision. And to the special person who has nominated me, whilst keeping your identity a secret,I am truly grateful to you!
