No Black Friday Sale Here!
Is it just me or is Black Friday and Cyber Monday getting a bit out of hand? I mean, let’s face it, who on earth wants a one day sale to start two weeks before the actual day and then last till the end of November? OK, so some of you might like to grab a bargain or two, but I personally think it just encourages the human population to overspend on items they really don’t need! What is Black Friday? So, I did a Google search on what is Black Friday as I had no idea why we started to have this annual event and surprise, surprise it originates…

Free Business Mentoring
Last year I attended a couple of free workshops at my Local Council’s Business Hub. They were based on giving you a better understanding on advertising, marketing and social media. They were free to attend, only a couple of hours long, really informative and they provided the stepping stone to the free mentoring, I’m going to tell you about. Chambers of Commerce After I attended the mini-workshops at my local Business Hub, I became aware of a couple of master classes with a Chamber of Commerce mentor. They were very basic and more geared towards people who had an idea for a business but I was relatively newly launched and…

Meditation, Motivation and Gratitude
Memoir #1 – 11th October 2018: Today has been a better day than yesterday and the day before that and actually one that has ended on a positive note. During the last two days, I had what I call a ‘meltdown’. I cannot say what sets me off because I don’t always know, but over the weekend the children have really tested our ability as parents. Having a pre-teen girl and a 9 years old boy (thinking he’s pre-teen) is really difficult to manage at times. Particularly difficult when you are having a heated ‘discussion’ with them about their attitude and behaviour and they announce ‘we are too mean’ or…

My Memoirs
Memoirs Today is the day I’ve decided to: start something a little different to the norm. be the person I believe I have been destined to be. forget about what everyone else thinks and to be the best person I can be. Your Thoughts? You may call it a pipe dream, a wake-up call, call it whatever you want but this is my place and I will do what ‘I’ want to do. I have chosen to have this little place on MY blog for MY memoirs; my tears, my demons, my achievements and my happy thoughts. There is so much no one knows about me, so much I keep…

The Blog has a Makeover
For some time now I’ve been looking into changing the style of my blog. I guess I never really liked it the last time I gave it a new look and I think I did it to impress others more than for myself which resulted in me not liking it 100%. So I decided to change it again, after all, this blog is about ME and not them so I should choose a style that I am happy with which is why I took it back to what I feel is a more simple, fresh and classy looking style. What do you think? Did my plan work? UPDATES Every time…

Why I abandoned my Social Media Accounts.
I did something a little bit extraordinary last week, which would either liberate you or put you into turmoil; I abandoned the social media accounts for Heels To Horses. Why did I start the social media accounts? Pretty much since the day I launched the Heels To Horses blog site in May 2016, I have posted via social media as a way to grow the followers to my blog site, and to help reach as many people as possible who may be interested in my journey. This was done via Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. The Problem: As well as these social media accounts I also started social media accounts for…

Saddler Training: The What, The Where and The How!
Since I started blogging (in 2016), about my journey to becoming a Saddler, I have been asked on many occasions how I found the saddler training; so I thought I’d write a post about it. Firstly, I did what most people must do…I searched for Google! I don’t know about you but since the Internet has become THE place to be, whenever I need a question answering and I don’t have direct access to an expert, then I always look up Google. Research So, I searched for ‘Saddler Training’ and the results gave me three options: Saddlery and Leatherwork @ Capel Manor College Saddlery Training Centre, and Training via the…
