I was at the Princes Trust North West Regional Vounteers Conference a couple of weeks ago and one of the speakers introduced us to the story of an amazing lady called Aimee Mullins.

For those of you how have never heard of her before, she was born without fibular bones and both of her legs were amputated when she was a small child.

Yesterday was my daughter's first day at big school.  When I say big school, I mean nursery, the year before reception, which may not seem very big to you, but to my 3 year old it's enormous

And so I find that we are in the middle of World Breastfeeding Awareness Week and the theme for this year is "Breastfeeding: A Vital Emergency Repsonse".

Sometimes I find that inspiration can come from the strangest and most unexpected of sources.  A recent example of such inspiration is from a couple of weeks ago when I took my 3 year old daughter to see a play/puppet show at The Lowry.

At the suggestion of one of my HypnoBirthing clients, I will shortly be setting up a gallery of babies born the Hypno way.

Laughter is a wonderful tonic isn't it.  I was just feeling a little tired and miserable this afternoon when I stumbled across the audio recording of Evan Davis having a giggle on the Today Programme and his laughter proved to be contagious.  After joining him in his giggling I decided to have a look around for some other giggly moments to share with you - call it a Bank Holiday weekend gift!

I've just recently heard about a photography service that might appeal to those of you who are expecting a baby.

Yesterday I received an interesting letter and certificate in the post.  It was from the Welsh Assembly Govenrment in Partnership with the Woodland Trust.

A copy of the following poem was given to me two years ago by a very dear friend.  I'm afraid I don't know the author, but whoever it is Thank You.

"The tiniest things in life are only noticed by those few who were looking. The baby in the poem will never be missed by most people but, for his parents he will be missed and remembered for the rest of their lives."

When I was in the ante-natal department of the local hospital on Monday (on business rather than personal) I picked up a card for an interesting website that I thought you might be interested in.

16th February 2009

I wanted to highlight a new page that I've just added to the website giving details of products that I don't sell but which I think you would be interested in.  You can find it in the Links section (which is available at the bottom of each page), not very inventively called "Recommended Products".

Well I must admit I'm sure about this but thought I would give it a go.  I have signed up for a Twitter account.

3rd February 2009

I got a nice surprise this morning when I heard that The Mirror had run a feature on hypnotherapy and furthermore that HypnoBirthing had been given a special mention.  I do like it when someone else does marketing for me...LOL!

Happy New Year everyone!

I have interrupted my maternity leave a little, but it's all in a good cause.  I am being interviewed by fellow hypnotherapist and radio presenter Mark Darlington for his Wrexham FM programme, Positive Habits.  The programme is aired on Sunday 25th Jan at 7pm and repeated the following Wednesday afternoon.

Tracy is delighted to announce the arrival of a beautiful bouncy baby boy on 23rd December 2008 at 7.31pm. 

More news later.  Just wanted to let you know both Mum and baby are happy and well.

11th December 2008

Well I guess I'd better start winding down soon then - less than three weeks to go until the birth of new baby Jones. 

It's not like I find my work tiring or tiresome even with this huge bump that I'm carrying around with me, but it would be disconcerting for my clients if I happened to go into labour during a session! LOL

22nd October 2008

Yesterday I attended a breakfast meeting at Glyndwr University as part of Wrexham Business Week.  It was called "Flash Upon That Inward Eye" and was facilitated by Jan Green of Wrexham Business School.

I've been carrying this piece of paper around with me in my handbag for 5 years.  It's now tatty and dog-eared but it remains special to me.

Let me share the contents with you if I may......

7th October 2008

I've just heard about a new weekly radio show that's started on Wrexham FM, called Positive Habits, which is being hosted by a fellow hypnotherapist from Wrexham called Mark Darlington.

Here's some interesting news hot off the press of the Nursing Times. "Hypnotic relaxation therapy can reduce the frequency and severity of hot flushes in menopausal women".
