Dancing on the edge of your Comfort Zone
When was the last time you stepped out of your comfort zone? Did you dive in? Or just dance around the edge?

While I am off on my Camino de Santiago adventure, I thought I’d share a little story with you before I return next week with all the details of how I got on.
Happy Easter and I hope you are having a well-earned break enjoying time with your loved ones and gorging on chocolate!
This has been a good week!
After I wrote to you last week about my on again/off again article in the Mail on Sunday newspaper, I am pleased to report that it was finally published yesterday. The article looked great and it feels like a real honour to be featured.
Last week I wrote to you about my exploits while hiring a car in Gran Canaria, the Canary Islands. If you have been holding your breath for seven days wondering what happened, the good news is that we returned the vehicle safe and sound and without any extra scratches. It was a huge relief to know that I was being refunded my €1000. If you missed the whole saga and my top tips for car hire on your travels, then hit reply and I’ll resend you all the details.
This week I have been in the Canary islands. Gran Canaria to be exact. Unfortunately, my first few days have been marred somewhat by my experiences with hiring a car, so I thought I’d share.

Welcome to my little corner of the internet, for women in midlife who feel the pull to explore — not just the world, but themselves.
I’ve been travelling for over 30 years, through seasons of joy, grief, reinvention and becoming. Travel didn’t just show me new places — it helped me find my way back to myself.
Here I share honest travel stories and reflections on courage, change and second acts.
You don’t need to be brave yet. You’re welcome exactly as you are.
Try: courage, walking, grief, becoming, solo.
