Love & crumpets
|
It's Sunday morning Reader, I have a little ritual with a good pal of mine. We take breakfast pictures and send them to each other. Often they involve crumpets, because we first bonded over our love of bread based breakfast items. They aren't arty. Frequently they don't even look that delicious but I assure you they are. Even when they toaster is a little over enthusiastic like in this offering: It's a small thing but it keeps us connected. She doesn't even need to share words with me, when I see a picture of a crumpet pop up I know she's thinking of me and I feel all warm and loved. I've realised I have a lot of these rituals, with different groups and individuals. I create them with people because it helps me to make sure we connect, and don't just let a whole year go by without seeing each other. That there is a cadence of connection. Connection is one of my top two values so it makes perfect sense that I'd be doing this. I think this is also one of the reasons why I'm never lonely as a freelancer. I've built an ecosystem of connection that suits me and fills me up with what I need. I'm telling you this because Design Your Year has become one of my rituals. For me, it's an opportunity to feel connected to all of you. A chance to connect deeply with myself and figure out what I want at the beginning of the year. A gentle thread of being connected to my goals and my intentions all year long and making sure that I take the time to check in with them and make progress, rather than endlessly putting them off. Design Your Year 2025 is now on sale. I'm super excited to be hosting it for the fourth year and taking a lovely group through the year together. We start on 12th January and then check in with each other quarterly for a reset. I'm looking forward to seeing who will join for 2025. I'd love to see you Reader if you fancy hanging out together and making progress on your goals. Click here for all the details. See you soon, Rosie |

Heyooo Reader, This week's email is about what happens when you learn to better manage your inner critic. This time last week, I was on the way to host the networking event I run once a month for women in business. It was fabulous, full of uplifting, supportive, awesome connections - as it always is. But, that's not what this email is about. Picture this: I'm standing there, on the very busy overground train, drinking my tea and reading my book, surrounded by humans. The train stops, and more...
Hey friend, In my job I spend a lot of time connecting with people, but often through a screen. I'm sure it's the same for many of you These days I find that when I'm called to show up in person I often don't look forward to it. The voices that go through my brain tell me things like: "it's a lot of time wasted traveling" "think of all the tasks you could tick off your to do list" (things like writing this newsletter at 10am when I normally do rather than at 6.22pm before I sign off from the...
Hey friend, It's sunny in the UK. That's all anyone has been talking about this week. That and absolute s*it show going on in global politics. How? Why? Can we turn it all off and back on again? How do you get some space from it all Reader? Mine is definitely through movement in nature. Today (I'm doing my work from the trail, including writing this email to youuuuu. Team photo. I cannot get Pingu to stay still 😂 And by work...I mean the big picture stuff. One of my things this year is to do...
