Earth Day is just around the corner, and while it’s a beautiful opportunity for reflection and connection, it’s also a gentle reminder that our daily actions matter. Living in alignment with the planet doesn’t require perfection — it starts with conscious, everyday choices that ripple outward in powerful ways. So here’s how to start preparing for Earth Day.

Earth Day Is Coming: A Gentle Invitation To Honour Our Planet
Every April, people around the world turn their attention to something we often take for granted: the Earth beneath our feet. Earth Day, celebrated annually on 22nd April, is a global moment of awareness, reflection, and reconnection. It’s a time to honour the planet we live on, the one we’re made from, and the one that sustains us, even when we forget to notice, and I urge everyone to join in with this event this year. Earth Day isn’t just about policies, petitions or eco-campaigns (although all of those matter). To me, it’s also about energy, awareness, and intention. And […]

How To Celebrate International Women’s Day 2025
International Women’s Day (IWD) is a day that everyone in the world can celebrate, whether you are a woman or not. It’s marked on March 8th each year and is the perfect opportunity to celebrate and recognise the many achievements of women across the world. It’s also a call to action in the fight for gender equality. This year’s theme is “Accelerate Action”, emphasising the need for swift and decisive steps to achieve gender parity. But it’s not all about the gender pay gap that we in the West often equate with women’s rights. It’s hard to believe but in […]

Make the best of British Science Week 2022
When you think about science lessons, what is your first thought? Crusty old chemistry lesson, blue-flamed Bunsen burners, and baffling physics equations? Or eco-powered racing cars, competitive robot wars, and new ways to explore space for example? If you answered ‘yes’ to the first set, then it’s clearly been a while since your last science lesson, because things have changed a lot. And British Science Week could help you catch up! In the 20th century, most pupils studied science as separate, individual subjects (chemistry, physics, and biology). Researchers found, however, that in many schools, girls tended to drop physics early, […]

Coping with disappointment – the stepping stones to success
If like me, (an Englishwoman) you have just experienced the most excruciatingly tense, amazing, uplifting, stressful, and ultimately disappointing 3 hours of your life whilst watching the English football team beaten again on penalties in the final of the European Cup, you will understand some of the feelings I am nursing right now and how I’m trying to find ways of coping with disappointment: 1. Pride – that we got to our first major championship final for 55 years (I was 2 weeks old when England won the World Cup in 1966) 2. Anger – that it all came down […]

30 ways to celebrate International Friendship Day
Celebrate International Friendship Day this year! If there is one thing the pandemic showed, it was that we need our friends – not just the ones we know, but the ones we have yet to meet! As many of us were locked down during the pandemic, we began to realise that it really is the little things that mean a lot – a hug, a genuine smile, a friendly pat on the back. These things matter because these are the things that really make us feel good – not our car, our house or our status; but our friends, loved […]

OK so England have reached the football world cup semi-final for the first time in 28 years; there’s a hosepipe ban and the UK political situation continues to jump from the frying pan to the fire on a regular basis. But what can we simple English people do to support our national team at this time of great camaraderie?

Remembrance day, peace and the law of attraction: How to manifest peace
It will soon be remembrance day across the world and many people’s thoughts turn to remembering honoured loved ones who have sacrificed their lives for the service of others whilst fighting for what they believe to be ‘right’. I myself visited the grave of a great-uncle who was killed in the first world war last year in France as it was the centenary of his death. My whole family went over to pay our respects to Thomas Woollam and we found his grave, said prayers and laid flowers. We were lucky in that Thomas was buried in a marked grave […]
