COSTA RICA
Home again after an absolutely amaaaaazing & beautiful time in Costa Rica immersed in Instantaneous Transformation - roughly translated as living from the heart instead of the head.
A heart expanding, mind-blowing, gorgeous & glorious week. I'm still lost for words, and that doesn't happen too often...

“Life is short to work so hard.”
― Vivien Leigh
Having fun is very important! Firstly because, quite frankly, what’s the point of living without joy and laughter? And secondly because, if you’re working so hard – even at something you enjoy doing – that you don’t have time for a ...

"Eighty percent of success is showing up."
― Woody Allen
Now, although Woody Allen isn’t a character in my novel, I thought I’d cheat today because this piece of advice is just too good not to include in the 99 Days. Those who succeed in life, those who realise their dreams, aren’t ...

“When you consider things like the stars, our affairs don’t seem to matter very much, do they?”
― Virginia Woolf
It’s very easy to loose sight of what really matters in life, especially when it’s not going the way we want it to be going. We can tie ourselves up ...

Day 24 of 99 Days:
“I believe in some blending of hope and sunshine sweetening the worst lots.”
― Charlotte Brontë, Villette
Without hope we’d all be in a sorry state. Sunshine helps a lot too. Unfortunately we don’t get much of the latter in England, but luckily hope is everywhere ...

“It’s not the having, it’s the getting.”
― Elizabeth Taylor
If you don’t love what you do before the money then it’s very unlikely you’ll enjoy it afterwards, because the doing of it won’t change. Of course with some cash you’ll be able to buy things that sweeten the experience ...

“What does the brain matter compared with the heart?”
― Virginia Woolf, Mrs. Dalloway
I love that this quote comes from one of the most intelligent women who ever put pen to paper. It reminds me not to worry that I’m not Shakespeare or, indeed, Virginia Woolf. Brains are useful in life, ...

“My most valuable trait is tenacity, but what’s got me where I am now is courage.”

It is a truth universally acknowledged that whatever it is you want to do in life, especially if it’s extraordinary, you will need tenacity and courage to do it. I spent 15 ...
