Inspired In March
I can't quite believe Spring is here (the clocks changed last night so it's official!)
I can't quite believe we had snow on Wednesday yet T-shirt weather over the weekend.
I can't quite believe it's been so long since I wrote an 'inspired' post. The original idea was for it to be a monthly feature, but hey, sometimes life just happens... and you just gotta roll with it (my Silent Sunday's and Mantra for Monday's are suffering a little in the same way!)
So today i'm happy to bring you a little round up of what has made me tick this month...so, how about you? Any happy little tit bits, news, inspirations, achievements you'd like to share? I'd love to hear!
Here is my little roundup of inspiration from my Instagram reel:
- Truth. I hadn't thought about it this way before.
- Juicer experiments...on loan from Tribest. Review and recipes to come soon!
- My lovely dad made me a over-bed desk on wheels.... now I don't know how my life existed without it!
- Remember these pancakes day experiments? Proper chocolate overload.
- One of my favourite two-ingredoinet desserts. (coming to the blog soon!)
- An amazing book from one of my favourite bloggers. Now I just need to actually find the time to enjoy it and make things from it!
- My first go at making matcha tea... erm, interesting!
- More truth
- It was my dad's birthday and so I thought he's appreciate my little handmade card :-)
- Lemon and blueberry smoothie experiments for the Real Food Source.
- As a little thank you gift I was bought flowers!! That's hasn't happened in a very long time.
- Finally...today I ran a 10k obstacle race 'One True Grit' lots of mud and water and all in aid of charity. Yep, that's how I chill out on sunday afternoon.

Mantra for Monday no. 106
When you live in the moment there is no fear of failure as you just learn as you go, moment to moment, in a cumulative wave of knowledge. All experiences should be viewed in the positive as learning is growth and growth is a positive outlet that moves us forward in life.
The true learning experience has no deadline, has no finite plan, has no tick boxes and paperwork, no ‘should’s, would’s, could’s… it simply is. It’s the most natural source of your daily existence; an existence when lived mindfully and in the moment.
These last weeks and months and years as i’ve pushed further forward and out of the comfort zone, I've been battling with much more internal negativity. The little voice inside that strives for perfection, that fears the unknown, that won't give credit to putting myself out there before I'm ‘ready’. This little voice is also the creation of my own worst critic when others around me see the best in me and what I have to offer the world.
But all these things fall by the wayside when you learn to live in the moment and appreciate the learning experience with every challenge and every task and every goal you set yourself.
The past and the future may serve to centre you, to teach you and to guide you on you way BUT it’s the experience itself and the journey that matters, and then maybe the achievement of the goal itself should simply become the icing on the cake.
