About Me

Eilidh Horder and Suki the cat on shoulder B&W

Hi! I'm Eilidh, a recovering perfectionist and people pleaser currently based in the Belgian Ardennes with my musical partner, two children with super powers, six stray cats (at the last count) and Fido the Romanian rescue dog. He happens to have PTSD so he fits in well here.

The aim of this emotional and mental health blog is to share my experiences and reach out to others who might relate - a little reminder that we are not alone 🥰

Let’s talk about finding deeper meaning, peace, acceptance and self-knowledge. Love is all!

Turn down the white noise and find your own song!

There was a time when I was too scared to dream. I There was a time when I was too scared to dream. I was so addicted to being busy (and other things) that I hardly gave myself time to just 'be', to just... dream. I was flailing around in overwhelm like a headless fly or a blue-arsed chicken (or something)! My guiding word for 2020 is 'Now' (link to new blog in bio). Can anyone else relate to no longer daring to dream? To no longer allowing yourself to... slow down, and ask yourself if you're okay. We deserve to be more than just 'okay' anyway. My son still believes dreams come true. Let's take a leaf from his book. Remember: You are precious. You deserve to dream. Drop a ❤️ in the comments if you relate and tag someone who needs to hear this. @cathy.heller

What one word, to repeat throughout the year to he What one word, to repeat throughout the year to help you move through the weeks and months with greater purpose and vision, to give you strength and meaning, to remind you of what is important to you, would that be? Words hold power. They hold you accountable. The word ‘Now’, I choose as a reminder to myself. And every now and then I will ask, ‘What can I do, right now, that will take me closer to my goal, and to my dream?’ What's your word? I'd love to know. Click on link in bio to read full blog post.
