Hi Everyone

I am back to braveheart women again, in this last year I have had the pleasure of many experiences, some painful but they make you strong, appreciative and grateful and some wonderful and truly unexpected.

My beautiful baby brother passed away on the 23 August last year leaving a big void in my life. Leaving behind the most wonderful gift of all a beautful baby boy just 5 months old, that looks so like him some days it is just too painful. It was a difficult journey for his wife, my mum, sisters and myself. I remember the first day i held him only 1 one day old. I remember the last day i held him just hours before he died. I am grateful that I had the honour and privilege of being his sister for 30 years. He lives on in his son and also in my heart.

My twins (boy & girl) both moved out one in January and one in Febuary this year. I suffered from empty nest syndrome but when i realised that I had given them the two most important things a mum can give.. Roots to feel safe and the wings to fly off and be who they need to be.. I knew it was a job i had managed to do well.

I had a wonderful experience in the midst of my grief where out of what seemed like no where an e-mail arrived in my inbox asking me if I would be part of a documentary on women that would be filmed by the Irish channel TG4. I agreed, my part telling my story about my challenges to rising to be a successful business woman. This will be aired at the end of October this year. I hope to launch my book around this time.

Please tell me about your experiences over the past year. I would love to hear from some of your fabulous inspirtational women.

Love to you all

Hi everyone

I just thought i would like to share with you my progress. For all of you that have been following me you will know that i am writing a book about the journey of my life from building a dream to tragegy pain, heartache to dusting myself down and getting up to live dreams even bigger than i ever imagined.

Anyhow i have hired an authors coach.. Ann McIndoo I flew from Ireland to palm Springs California to finish my book.. When i just arrived i got a call from my family to tell me that my baby brother who is 13yrs younger than me and i totally adore has 3months to live.. he has a brain tumour.. I have had to dig so deep inside myself to find my inner strenght and courage to stay here in California and finish my book.... as i am missing precious days with him.. however thanks to the cell phone i am calling him every day..

Today I have booked into the Hilton in Palm Springs until wed moring.,. I had planned this to be my chill out time to get to grips with the book before i returned home.. I cried when i got to my room as i just feel so vunerable being here on my own and wanting to go home to my family.. To change my flights now would be too expensive for me. Also i need to think about the business side of my book and being positive i will sort this out in these few days before i return home & help my family to nurse my brother.

Please send healing love and light to my brother, his wife and there 3 month old baby.. it is truly heartbreaking.

thank you for reading and helping me through this time. I know i just need to remember to keep facing the light.

I know now that i am truly a braveheart woman

Hi Everyone

I have almost finished my book now and am going to California to my Author's coach on the 22 June to complete the last section.. I am getting really excited!

I can hardly take in that in this last year i have been on my true life journey. Realising that i am not a victim of all that has happenened to me. Instead these what at one time seemed terrible challenges where indeed my greatest gifts, that i needed to experience so i could move forward in life to help motivate, uplift and empower women to go and live the life they deserve to live.

I have come to realise that all the wordly riches of monay and possessions cannot being you close to anything like the inner peace and joy you can have if you just take time to find out who you are and love yourself.

We are incapable of being loved if we do not love ourselves.

We are like mirrors always reflecting vack what we are giving out.

It is a must to love ourselves firest, so when we have filled ourselves with so much love our body overflows with love and we naturally exuberate love from a deep level.

It is easy to give when you have abundance.

This is the true gift of love.

Hi My friends

if there was ever a time i needed to feel empowered and believe in myself it is now.. I decided a little while ago that i was going to write my life story in a book to empower and uplift women, to give them inspiration and most of all hope. Now i am struggling wondering have i healed myself enough to stand up and tell my story. I have days where i feel like i am going backwards instead of forward and crying into my computer as i relive the pain of the past. At the age of 25 I had 2 year old twins and one day as i was leaving the office a thunder storm blew up from no where as i drove down the road the rain was not clearing the screen and as i rounded a corner the car skidded and hit a tree. I was almost killed and had an outter body experience, I was broken from head to toe When i got home from hospital to i found out i was pregnant and had to have a termination. Then learn to walk again. The strain of this all broke my mirrage. After 14 months my husband and i got back together and within 6months of this i was diagnosed with cancer of the cervix and had to have a complete hysterectomy on my 30th birthday.. This was when i took control of my life enough was enough. I bought a shop opened a ladies boutique and started to heal the women of my community by giving them fashion advice to make them more confident. this also healed me.. I backed this business up with property investing and at the age of 34 had £1 million pounds in property. I was driven and give out too much love and took nothing back. Then i decided I had given my all and needed some time out and so i closed my shop, rented it out and bought more property. Now at the age of 42 I thought i had healed enough to empower women to help them fulfill there dreams using me as there example. Today i am doubting myself. I have the book almost written and planned to give 1 day workshops to women.. Can someone please let me know what you think. As i am now in the self doubt phase. I trust you braveheart women for i feel i have found a community oflike minded. Who have all the love and compassion, joyful hearts and pure souls like me. I would appreciate any comments.

To all my wonderful new friends thank you

You are all so loving and kind and that is what we women need. I am working my way through my book and one hour i believe in myself and the next i am thinking why am I reliving my life. It is painful and yet empowering to look at my dark days write about my feeling and know that looking back these dark days were my greatest gifts. I read recently that life is about choices and if your life seems dark it is just that you are standing in your shadow.. if you could just turn around you would be facing the sun and the world would seem brighter... I wish i had of heard that 20 yrs ago. We are in such a wonderful time of enlightment now, there is access to all the books and CD's that inspire and uplift you. how blessed we all are.

I wish you all a bright sunny day.
