My entire business (and life) is based on the concept of ‘following your heart‘. It shows up in the way I work, with whom I work (heart & soul led businesses) and it underpins everything I advise my cliients to do and be.

All of these words and phrases have been playing round my mind this last week. I’ve been asking myself what it means to let go?
- How does it feel?
- Why mastering the practice would be good?
- What the alternativea are? etc.
Then just by chance (lol – yeah right), I find this video; Peter ... Comment - Like

So I was in Facebook when an Ad I’d seen before, but not clicked on, showed up again. No idea why, but this time I clicked and what I found at the end of it was so utterly fantastic that I immediately created an AudioBoo: In Awe of Jenny Shih.

Viewing images in Facebook is a bit of a faff… I know it’s only a few seconds, but having to click into an image to view it in what you hope will be a big enough size to be able to see any detail is particularly frustrating when you find the original size wasn’t worth it – or the detail, f...
