The Sunday Reset
Time to realign with your true self
Dear Friend
How are you feeling today? I hope you’re sat somewhere all cosy and warm. It’s day four in my happy place - I’m in “The House on the Beach” and even though it’s raining, I’m feeling real good. There isn’t a place anywhere in the world I’d rather be right now. West Wales is BEST!

This moment of noticing, is your anchor to the present moment.
