New Opportunities.
🌟Gosh it's being a while, I've being so present in my doings that writing about it hasn't being on my radar. Here's an insight of reflections and where experiences of 'following threads' has taken me over the last 3 months.
There can be lots of conditioning and expectation around what we need to live a happy, healthy, successful life stripping things back and being around people who financially and materially had not a lot yet had all of their needs met whilst living a very freeing way of life. I’m glad to be able to parent myself through my own fears ( my minds stories) and follow the threads anyway which have gifted new friendships, new skills, new opportunities, and new ways of being.
I get it though as it's easy to get bogged down with the daily grind and pressures that come from family and societal traditions and expectations and yes certain things are a necessity yet how can we reframe it so it's from a place of choice also allowing fun and play to become part of our day to day rather than having to work hard to earn it.
I've taken lots of pressures away and yet with that it created other pressures, I haven’t earned much however an amount would appear as I was ready for more food, more fuel and to do the laundry. Yet I have been gifted much in other ways. Shifting fears that my working isn’t ’busy enough’ and ‘I need to make more money’ in swap for ‘What do I really need?
Things are always working out even when my pretty little head suggests not!’
Having spent virtually 3 months living outside, I was reminded again what really matters, how to appreciate what matters and what to remove to allow it to continue to be part of everyday life.
🌟 Moving away from what I know and love.
By being ok with letting go of things I love including living with my partner, leaving where I grew up and burning most of my previous ideas. (please note making space for what you want may not mean letting go of the same things as me, we are all unique in our choices and path).
Back in May (2026) after so much concentration on trying to make a business plan work and convincing others to start with me, I stopped! 🛑
Rather than pushing and concluding, I scaled it down and asked questions 🧐
✨Do I have to have it all worked out?
No
✨Do I have to own the space?
No
✨Do I have to find the people?
No
✨Can I start alone?
Yes
🧵 Following threads was created!
Having spent my life stable by staying in the county I was born, controlling my whereabouts and outcomes, convincing people to do things with me so I felt brave enough to do them. I decided to start as I knew I was to go away, I could see I was to start it solo, so I lent in albeit nervous and scared a game I called ‘Following Threads’ began. Starting with a lady I’d met once for an hour last year she'd sent me a link to a dance festival via Crops not shops website.
And here’s how the next 3 months went;
I got in my van and drove down the motorway with literally a locked jaw trying to smile to release it (so painful) I was so scared and I made my way to said dance festival in Glastonbury, that...
Led to 2 weeks camping on the coastal path on the Ilse of wight.
Led to making a new friend.
Led to off-grid community farm projects, there growing and harvesting vegetables for festivals and events, coaching (family constellations), and creating an outdoor hair salon 💇♀️ (went for 2 wks stayed for a month).
Led to a man popping his tent next to my van (and who in his words ‘prayed for something to support conflicting his community’).
Led to me delivering my first two connection and communication workshops in another off-grid community.
Led to more dancing 💃🏼
Led to a trip to London.
Led to a return to Crops not shops new members weekend (this time cooking for 130 people in an outside kitchen).
Led to another two weeks living in a field with a horse, goats and chickens.
Led to more coaching (family constellations).
Led to meeting two ladies.
Led to more dancing 💃🏼 and now singing 🎤 .
Led to an invitation to further discuss my work.
Led to more singing 🎤.
Led to my work to being the foundation for some future events. 🤩
🌟Wow I’m grateful to write this out and acknowledge all of it as there were times where my mind was saying what are you doing here? Doubt and fear arising yet leaning in more to the threads (not everything has to make sense or be laid out). After 3 months of moving around off-grid communities remembering what matters, appreciating life when it was so simple, the weaving of dancing, coaching and hair cuts reminded me why I never took the 'pick one thing and master it' mindset when I can be great at lots of things (I mean I am really great at dancing 💃🏼 😜).
May be there's new opportunities, realities and ways of living trying to come to you!
