Good morning!🇬🇧

I have spent the last three days in London…and what a blessing it has been!🙏

It’s only been one week since my Mother passed away…and I wasn’t sure if I should still take this trip.💔

But I had already paid for the train and the hotel and couldn’t make any changes to it.🚆

I was attending an event with the business that I’m partnered with, which focuses on personal development.🌻

The community of people that I work with is incredible and are based all over the UK and around the world 🌍 and this was a great opportunity to catch up with some of our UK team, share ideas and a glass of bubbly!🍾🥂

Once I had decided to take the trip…as soon as I got onto the train, I felt totally relaxed and I had the perfect distraction from thinking about funeral arrangements and packing up my Mother’s things.✨

The first day I got to London I spent the day sightseeing and wandering around with no really plan in my mind. I walked 11kms and enjoyed time with myself. I took myself for spaghetti in Harrod’s food hall, and stopped to take photos of the beautiful buildings in the sunshine.☀️

The following day I met up with colleagues old and new and had the best day in a long time!🎉

It was great to share the day with likeminded people, listening to their stories making each other laugh 😂 and sharing our challenges.

From nowhere, I suddenly gained clarity about the year ahead…and about time too…since it’s nearly February!🛜

If I hadn’t taken the trip I wouldn’t have made the realisations and decisions that I have.✅

Now I can continue to process my personal matters in the comfort that I know where I’m going with my business!🚀

Thank you

Maria💗

Gooood morning everyone!! 🍉

It’s almost the last day of 2023…and there is a chance that I might get distracted and the new year will begin before I have settled the past!!

This year I have kept my world quite small focusing on myself/my health and my family…and have had little time to focus on much else…2023 was about surviving…(2024 is for thriving!)

I am a big believer of letting go of any resentments and settling any issues from the year, before starting the next one…and I always forgive others, however, to be honest, I don’t hold a grudge ever, I very easily forgive others - the exception is…forgiving myself! Which I don’t do easily!

So on this day (with one day to spare!) I am officially forgiving myself for any wrongs that I have committed to others, or to myself, and to anyone that I may have hurt unintentionally or that I haven’t been there for in 2023.

Have you heard of Ho’oponopono?

It’s a beautiful Hawaiian practice of reconciliation and forgiveness….it’s such an emotional and powerful technique which I’ve used on myself and with my clients, and it is the perfect practise to do for the end the year….

It’s only four sentences which are repeated (usually until someone is crying! Which doesn’t take long!) It’s a simple and effective healing process, there are loads of lovely YouTube videos if, you’re interested to know more!!

“I’m Sorry”……✨

“Please Forgive Me”……✨

“Thank you”…..✨

“I Love You”……✨

Maria ❤️

Gooood morning Manchester and goood afternoon Dubai!🌍

In less than four weeks I will be with you again!✈️

After living in Dubai for nine years…it always feels like ‘going home’ when I visit! 🥰

I’m so looking forward to catching up with my gorgeous friends and wonderful clients!✨🙏✨

It’s a great time of year to visit because the weather is perfect!!☀️

I’m glad to be spending the start of 2024 traveling for five weeks! Hopefully setting the tone for the rest of the year….!?🛫🛳️⛵️🚁

Although I have no other ‘definite’ travel plans yet…I will certainly travel more…😎

Croatia is on my list for spring/early summer…have you been?? Any suggestions?
Also on my list is a short Mediterranean cruise, late summer, with a lovely group of business owners…⚓️

I also want to catch up with my family in Scotland🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿and travel to the Highlands maybe?

There are so many health benefits to taking a holiday…emotional well-being, mental clarity, improved energy, relaxation….😍

80% of holidaymakers experienced a significant reduction in stress after returning from holiday…🕌

Apparently, women who go on holiday twice a year are less likely to suffer depression and chronic anxiety! Why take any chances though?…I would just go three or four times…🚃

Whether, you’re lucky enough to travel with work or not, I would suggest prioritising your mental health and getting some holidays booked for 2024!!⛱️

What are you waiting for???🌈

Take me with you!!☃️

Have a lovely day everyone!🪷

Gooood morning Manchester!💗

Merryyyyy Christmas everyone!!🎄🎉🍾🎅🥂

Finally after four months our wonderful Mother was able to make it out of hospital just in time for Christmas!✨🙏✨

The last few months have been a rollercoaster for us all…wondering and waiting to find out whether our Mother will stabilise…after suffering a stroke and experiencing multiple chest infections🎢

I can’t even begin to imagine how she has felt…only a few months ago she was living her normal life…and suddenly she was confined to a hospital bed unable to fully communicate how she’s feeling and what she wants and needs…it must have been so frustrating!🙃

Everyone who knows our Mother - comments on how strong she is 💪 and so we are all pleased that she has finally been let out of the hospital - although she is recovering further at Nazareth House, a nursing facility, so is not out of the woods quite yet!🌳

So….the nursing home she is currently residing in…is very fitting for her…

It has its own fully stocked bar!🍷🥃🍸🍹🍺free to residents and guests! (Thank you!!)

It has its own restaurant 🍽️ and hair salon…💇‍♀️

A full programme of pamper days, cooking, arts and crafts, games, movie nights…🍿

The most beautiful gardens…and a backyard with chickens who roam the place…🐓

Its own convent ✝️ complete with nuns and a priest…(in case of confession!?)🙏

To be honest I’m thinking about booking a room here too!?😅

I am grateful that our Mother has a great environment to continue her recovery in….and

…most of all I’m grateful for ALL our friends, family, clients and the kind people who have sent their wishes, who have visited, called her, called us, checked on her, checked on us…

Thank you so much,

Love from Maria and all our family💗

Goood morning everyone!💗

Thank you so much for all the lovely heartfelt messages I received yesterday! I was really overwhelmed by your support!✨🙏✨

Of course I am a big fan of personal development and have followed many different methods over the years...and this is my new favourite!!😂

I have one life, which is going to be long! (I have decided!) and I have lots of things that I still want to experience and achieve!

Notes to self:

✅ What other people think of me is none of my business
✅ Ask for help when I need it and accept help when it’s offered
✅ Forgive myself more easily
✅ Other people’s judgement isn’t as harsh as my own judgement of me, so be even kinder to myself
✅ Plan more holidays and catching up with friends...and schedule work in the gaps!

Have a lovely day everyone!💗💗💗

Thank you

Maria🥰

Gooood morning Monday!🌤

This is a great quote by me...not really, actually it’s by John D. Rockefeller!!😂

By chance I saw a short video clip this morning which really resonated with the quote I was posting today.💡

It came exactly at the right time, as I have been considering an opportunity. It was/is a ‘very good’ opportunity. In the short term, it would be ideal in so many ways.✅

It would keep me in a relative ‘comfort zone’ financially, and comfortable for my own career development, and I know it would be enjoyable for the next 18 months...📆

However, it would also mean, sacrificing a great opportunity I already have and it’s enormous potential! And this opportunity is for life...or for as long as I’d want it! This opportunity allows for the kind of lifestyle I want! ✈️

I am so glad I saw the random video this morning as I was potentially about to make a decision which I think was based in fear, and the feeling of short term discomfort.🙏

I do believe that unless I am uncomfortable enough, I won’t get out of my situation and make changes for the better!!🆘

Thank you to the universe for giving me the direction I needed today!!🪐

Have a lovely day and week ahead everyone!🙌

Thank you!

Maria💗

Gooood morning!

This was an amazing weekend, three months ago in London with one of my brothers, Sean and one of my sisters, Josephine!👫

It is quite rare to make a trip like this together. We were going down to our cousins birthday in Hertfordshire. She had flown over from Australia and was celebrating in the area that she grew up.✈️

Although I was excited about the weekend, I felt some apprehensive about the birthday event...who would be there? Would I know anyone? Is my outfit too casual or too dressy? What will the food be? Will there be anything veggie? Will I be forced to dance? Will I have to make small talk with people I don’t know?⁉️

As soon as we got there, I felt immediately at ease and my worries soon disappeared. No, didn’t know that many people but, there were some family that we hadn’t seen for a long time and it was lovely to catch up with. My outfit was totally suitable. I did get forced to dance...even though it was only 7pm! There was veggie food...and I did have to make small talk! All in all it was a lovely evening!✅

This photo was taken in Camden the following day. We had the most amazing day in London, mooching around, shopping, eating and drinking.🎉

This day was sooo relaxed!! We had no pressures to be anywhere or do anything at a certain time. The day was unstructured and very welcome after the structured event from the day before.🙏

I love these kinds of days, when we can go with the flow, with no proper agenda. It stands out as one of my most favourite days in the recent months! 💯

Thanks for a great weekend!🙌

Maria❤️

Gooood morning Manchester!🌤

Even though the sun is shining now...thunderstorms are coming later today and it’s looking like a week of mostly rain ahead!⛈

My perfect day out for rainy weather is....bowling and arcades like shooting hoops on the basketball game, and going to the cinema!!🥤

I’ve only been to the cinema once in the past year...is it just me, or will there ever be any good films on again???

I loved going to the cinema in Dubai on my own! No debating which film to see, go when it suits me, no one to steal my nachos or popcorn!🍿

The picture above was taken at Wavehouse at Atlantis The Palm (in Dubai), and it is an amazing mixed venue with bowling, restaurants, bars, arcades and overlooking the wave rider at the water park!

I really want to go to Freight Island at Depot Mayfield...although I’m not sure if you go for ‘an event’ or just at any time??

Goood morning sunny Manchester!!✨☀️✨

Who needs this gorgeous beach in Dubai when we’ve got, beautiful 26 degrees weather and ‘the beach’ in Trafford Centre car park?!?⛱

I didn’t go abroad (on a plane) until I was eleven! Most of our holidays were in the UK, we were all members of English Heritage (💤💤) which meant that we went from medieval castles to monuments around the country every summer!!🏰

It actually sounds interesting now...and thankfully when we were younger, we didn’t have any other holidays to compare it to!! But back then, it felt like a chore...even if we enjoyed it when we got there.🤷‍♀️

We would always have packed lunches...with soggy sandwiches because they’d been taken out of the freezer in the morning!! (Having 5 kids is all about advance meal prep!)🥪

And because there were five of us...it must have been quite expensive!! So summer to us, was roaming the country in our yellow Lada....later upgraded to a Volvo!! (Wow!!) 🚙

(You can see a picture above of me hanging out of the our yellow Lada! Classy!!)📷

I do remember getting into trouble at one castle (probably more!), because we switched all the direction arrows around, 😂 so all the visitors would go the wrong way, to dead ends and to restricted areas!➡️↖️

My first flight was more than 24hrs to Australia which was a shock to the system!!✈️ I thought they served steak and chips to you on plates with proper knives and forks!🍴

Obviously this is when I knew I was destined to fly in first class and business class only!😂🍾🥂✨

Here’s to a great summer holiday and coming up with 1000 things to keep the children occupied!

Love from Maria (part of the The Famous Five Gang!)

Good morning Manchester!☀️

I look so happy in this picture!! Something definitely made me laugh!!😂

However, this was Christmas Day a few years ago in Dubai and I definitely wasn’t happy. I really struggled with Christmas for the whole time I was in Dubai.🎄

I was probably crying at some point before and after this photo was taken! It was so hard not being with family (or at home) at Christmas, I felt like I didn’t belong anywhere and I didn’t really tell my friends that I felt like that.🎅

Many years I was just glad to ‘get through the day’ by any means of distraction! And some friends were kind enough to invite me to their house to celebrate on Christmas Eve or to go for brunch on Christmas Day over the years.🍸

I know that being with family at Christmas, can also come with many triggers!! And when I was in Dubai, I always imagined that everyone back home would be having an ‘amazing Christmas Day’, but a phone call to any of my family or friends would suggest otherwise!🎉

It reminds me to not make assumptions about what others might be doing, look beyond photos, and to reach out to anyone that might feel that way themselves. Oh...and the grass isn’t always greener!! And....it’s just a day!!🙏

This particular Christmas Day was spent with my friend from the UK who was also living in Dubai, and was also missing a turkey dinner and his family back home!✈️

The place we were at was lovely! The food was lovely! The strawberry margaritas were especially lovely!! But both of us were unhappy!😂

Well it’s only 172 days until Christmas...so maybe I should start planning now!🎁

Have a lovely day!!

Maria ❤️
