Saying What I Want to Say
It is almost the end of the month already! That means newsletter time looms. I am not quite sure why the prospect of writing a newsletter feels like a looming responsibility rather than a treat.
It isn’t that I don’t like writing, because I do. In fact I love it. I think it is the (entirely self-imposed) deadline of sending out a newsletter in the first few days of every month. My need to get the newsletter out gets in the way of my enjoyment of the process of writing it. I think, too, that I put myself under pressure to make the newsletter meaningful to people.
Like I should be able to change people’s lives in some way.
Through a few-hundred-word piece of writing.
Delivered remotely into people’s – many of whom I have not and may never meet – email inboxes.
It really doesn’t make much sense.
So this month I think I am just going to write a newsletter freely and naturally; say what I want to say (whatever that may be – I still have no idea) and not worry about whether or not I will be heard the way I think I ‘should’ be.
Not worry about being deep and meaningful.
Not worry about helping people to change their lives.
Just let loose and write whatever wants to be written.
I’ll let you know what comes out…

- “I have seen various psychologists and therapists but none of them have the skill of Judy in being able to relate to me and the way I think about things.”
- “Judy, you have given me the tools to change and move my life in directions I never knew possible. I am truly grateful for your help.”
- “Perception is everything and working with Judy has helped me realise my true potential by changing my outlook of life into more positive ones. I enjoy walking out of a life coaching session feeling like I am in control again, less stressed and more energetic.”
- “Judy is my go-to person when I find myself uncertain about how to interpret the signposts in my life. Her insights and ability to draw out what lies deepest inside have helped provide clarity and integrity at pivotal life moments over many years.”
- “I’d recommend Judy to anyone who’s feeling stuck, weary, confused, discouraged, uncertain, in need of support – basically, I’d recommend her to any carbon-based life form that breathes oxygen and would like to have a wonderful life.”
