Monica Bradley Reflects on Family, Festive Traditions, and Business Growth This Christmas- Monica Bradley

Monica Bradley, founder and managing director of Surrey-based mortgage broker MB Associates, shares her festive plans and how she celebrates with her loved ones and colleagues. Family Time Christmas is a special occasion for me as it’s an opportunity to spend quality time with loved ones. Family is very important to me, and I love spending time with my nearest and dearest. This year however, things will feel different, as we sadly said goodbye to our last remaining Aunt, our beloved Aunt Rosaleen, earlier this year. Rosaleen was in her early 90s and a feisty lady with a great sense of humor who often came to stay with me from Ireland. Many of my work colleagues met her and were impressed by how agile she was for her age. One house guest was once amazed to wake up early one morning...

How to Stay Fit Over the Festive Season- Christina Collison

Keeping up your exercise routine over Christmas will help you stay calm, feel energized, and cope with any seasonal stresses that may come your way. Christina Collison explains how and why you should find time to keep working out. The Challenge of Staying Active If you’ve let your workouts lapse over Christmas in the past, you’re not alone. A fitness report released by PureGym last year showed that 30% of people are most likely to reduce or stop exercising in the lead-up to the festive season. Are you going to be one of them, or will you commit to staying active? It’s understandable that exercise may not be the first thing on your mind over Christmas, even if you normally work out regularly. Routines change at this time of year, and it’s not uncommon to wake up not knowing what da...

The Year I Wove Another Thread Into the Tapestry- Divya Parekh

What is a year, if not a tapestry? A weave of moments, some bright and golden, others dark as nightfall, their threads pulled taut by the weight of the days. And yet, it is the contrasts that make the pattern sing. I see this now, sitting here in December’s quiet twilight, the year stretched out behind me like a river winding into the distance. I remember parts of this tapestry clearly—the bold strokes, the daring colors of achievement. But there are softer, almost hidden others that only now reveal their quiet beauty: the moments of struggle, the spaces where fear pressed hard against my chest but didn’t win. I think of those moments and feel them—not as regrets, but as proof. Proof that I was in the arena playing the game by trying, failing, trying again. This year wasn’t my first fig...

From Struggle to Triumph: How Gratitude Led Me to Conquer the NYC Marathon- Theresa Russell

Life often presents us with challenges, but it’s in these moments that we realize the true power of gratitude, giving, and celebration. In reflecting on my own journey this past year, I found that even in the face of hardship, these elements provide the strength to grow, give, and celebrate what we overcome. A Routine Shattered: The Unexpected Struggle Spring brought with it what I thought would be another season of running—a routine I had followed for over two decades. But something was wrong. I felt sluggish, and my breath didn’t come as easily. My pace slowed significantly, and what was once a comfortable run became an effort. At first, I dismissed it as a passing issue, but when it didn’t improve, I realized it wasn’t just a bad day. Listening to My Body: The Wake-Up Call D...

Health, Gratitude, and the Greatest Gift of All- Stella Olivia Kikoyo

As the Christmas season surrounds us with warmth and light, I find myself reflecting on the invaluable lessons this year has taught me—chief among them the power of gratitude. In a year marked by moments of loss, challenges, and healing, I have come to understand that gratitude is not just a fleeting emotion but a transformative way of living. The Gift of Health Health, as I have learned, is the foundation of everything. Without it, even the simplest joys can feel out of reach. This week, as I have walked the path of recovery, I have learnt to celebrate each breath, each step, and each moment of progress. I whisper, “Thank you, Lord,” not just for the big milestones but for the small, everyday miracles— the turning of my body without pain, the ability to sit up, the ability to join i...

Have FAITH this Christmas and celebrate all that you’re and have and all that you are to become and have – Stella Olivia Kikoyo

Have FAITH this Christmas and celebrate all that you’re and have and all that you are to become and have.  If one has a speck of faith of a mustard seed, he could move mountains.

A Very Merry Christmas from Monica Bradley

Thank you very much Stella for inviting me to do this little recording of just what traditionally Christmas means to me and I’d like to share that and I find it a really exciting time. I really look forward to it. The build up is really important to me. And then of course the big Christmas Day, and Boxing Day and Christmas Eve. We used to go to church as a family for midnight mass— always enjoyed that, come back from there and have a meat pie and a glass of sherry. Christmas morning now, I still like to be around family that’s really important to me, and I like to see as many people— children, godchildren, nieces, nephews, friends and loved ones who maybe I’ve not been able to catch up with because we’re all so busy now in life. So, I love to see as many people as I can, to go to the grave...

Happy Holidays from Ann Justi

One thing I like about the Holiday season; I get to wear so many sweaters, so many hats, and I get to meet with friends. I get to do things that I only do once a year, and I really should be doing them more frequently because it makes me have joy. I also get to have my favorite flavours like peppermint, mocha, pumpkin pie spice, eggnog, gingerbread, and I want them every single day. So, that’s what I do, I stock up on things so that I can celebrate this season. I hope you find a way to celebrate this season.  https://youtu.be/B1SJ0GQ73lg?si=NLA20Na2mQNmcBt0

A unique Silican party food recipe for the Holidays

Christmas it’s a special time of the year, full of celebrations and food. Delicatesses from different parts of the world find space in our houses and often take us back to our childhood bringing us special flavors and smells. We fill our houses with friends and family and then connect with unique cultures through the food. And you can’t say that you love a country if you don’t love their cuisine! Today I want to teach you how to make a unique Sicilian party food which is becoming increasingly famous everywhere also in UK as street food. A food loved by everybody, children and adults: the ‘arancine’.  For those who love the origin of the food, they go back to the Arab domination in Sicily, from the IX to t...

Celebrations Should Be a Regular Event Not Just for the Holidays – Ann Justi

Celebration is an ancient ritual. It gives us a way to feel good about ourselves, and our accomplishments. When we celebrate, we are reinforcing something important to us. Without it we simply maintain the status quo and candidly have a lot less fun. Celebrating is good for people. It is an opportunity for activity, conversation, laughter, and excitement. Parties can mean games and singing, and even dancing. Celebrations create a circle of life. When we rejoice in the presence and accomplishments of others, they feel uplifted. Research has shown that acts of gratitude encourage those around us, creating a circle of reciprocal love. We celebrate because it reminds us of milestones in our lives or traditions in our culture. One way of di...

Well, this year is very exciting because I got married on the 1st of September this year. So, basically this Christmas will be the very first Christmas that my husband and I will have together. I say together but we’ve actually been together for six years, but it will be our first Christmas being together as husband and wife which is very exciting. I do have a Christmas tradition. There's something I like to do every year, which means a lot to me. I have a real passion for running, so this year, as is the case every Christmas, I’m planning to go out and run around the field opposite our house. I really enjoy running but I don’t get to do it as much as I’d like these days because life is busy and this year I’ve just bought myself a new pair of trainers.

Today we’re going to be talking about what are some of my favorite things to do around the Holiday season. So, first of all let me tell you, I love Holidays and it’s not because it brings us cheer and it gets us busy and it makes us spend time with our loved ones and it brings us joy and love into our lives. To me, the biggest component that I love to do around the holidays is gratitude, and finding my blessings, because especially around this time of the year, when it’s season for giving, season for creating impact, I love to count my blessings, and the things I’m grateful for and write down a gratitude list and make the New Year's resolutions that reflect the spirit of holiday throughout the year.

How To Keep Your Pelvic Floor Health For Life – Kim Vopni

While most people have heard the term pelvic floor, many don’t realize what the pelvic floor does on a daily basis. Your pelvic floor is working 24/7, supporting your bladder, colon, rectum and sexual organs. This versatile set of muscles performs many important functions. Pelvic floor muscles help your bladder and rectum relax and contract on demand when you need them, and they’re the muscles that contract during sex. When pelvic muscles are too loose or too tight, problems can occur. Weak or damaged pelvic floor muscles can lead to urinary leakage, accidental bowel leakage and pelvic organ prolapse, a condition in which the uterus, bladder and bowel may drop causing sense of pressure and fullness. If these muscles are too tight, it can be hard to relax, causing difficult bowel movemen...

Since launching The Rich Dad Company with her husband, Robert, in 1996, she realized there was a huge void for women when it came to financial education.

7 Best Ways to Care for a Parent without Burning Yourself Out – Christina Collison

Have you noticed yourself providing more help and support than ever to your parents? Are you finding it tiring and upsetting? Writer Christina Collison, who cared for her late mum for ten years, advises on providing the best care for your parents without jeopardising your well-being. Sooner or later, it comes to most of us. As children, we were used to our parents taking care of us. As young adults, it’s common to continue to rely on our parents for emotional support and guidance. The balance shifts slowly when we enter middle age, and our parents become more reliant on us. As they grow older, their health may change, and they may need your help and support with daily tasks, including shopping, housework, and maybe even personal care. As their child, it’s difficult for you to deal wi...
