being overwhelmed

Enjoy a moment now and then

TIP 10 from Be the Queen of Calm, Cool & Collected (60 fabulous tips to help you live with less pressure & more ease) is getting rave reviews from our readers.  Here it is:

Go ahead and giggle!  Laughter relieves tension, makes us breathe more deeply, releases ‘happy’  brain chemicals (legal ones), relaxes our muscles, and makes us feel more relaxed.  How perfect!

HSPs (highly sensitive people) sometimes forget to laugh out loud so purposely look for things that make you laugh.

  • Plan lunch or coffee with that special friend who always has you in stitches.
  • Turn on the comedy station instead of the news.
  • Watch a classic comedy that makes you laugh, even when you know what’s coming

Enjoy the moment, reduce the daily pressure.  You are after all, The Queen of Calm, Cool & Collected!

Hello from London… January 10, 2015

Hello from London!

Welcome to 2015! It’s a much anticipated year here with lots to look forward to.

As expected December was a whirlwind culminating with a fabulous visit with niece, nephew, great nieces and great nephew. Whew, that’s a mouthful! We walked, we ate, we shopped, we did tea…we walked some more. I can’t believe how much they packed into 2 weeks. The thing about London is that around every corner something is waiting to be discovered. A good time was had by all.

Christmas dinner at the pub was full of character (including the big black lab at the next table drooling over our plates!) and delicious, absolutely delicious, from the champagne to the rich dessert we groaned over but of course ate every bite!

Here is a ‘flavour’ of London at Christmas for all of you: beautiful, inspiring, and as always quirky!
