Birthday Vibes
Dark November evening. Cosy seat by the fire. Must be my birthday. Easing gently into the next trip around the sun.

This is for those who give a lot to the world and relish slow mornings, muddy paws, and sipping coffee from a proper mug. You’ll find stories, cosy visuals, and conversations to remind you that putting yourself first isn’t selfish. It’s essential.
You might as well put your kettle on and settle in. Welcome.
Cosy visuals from my daily life and enhanced in my digital darkroom, because it’s not the details people remember, it’s the feeling.

Outside the night is drawing in, and there’s just a hint of magical spookiness in the Autumn air. No tricks. No treats (well maybe a few). Just muddy paws, cosy blankets, and a little time for you.
Some days don’t need plans. Just good coffee, good company… and cake.

I write stories, create pictures, and have conversations that help people feel so much clearer and lighter.
For the past 20 years I’ve been a thinking partner for leaders, teachers, and fellow executive coaches who have worked hard their entire lives giving to others, and serving others.
Muddy Boots and Coffee is a natural evolution of that work. The things I write about, the pictures I create and the conversations I have, come from one simple insight: slowing down helps us speed up. I’m doing this for me as much as for you, as a gentle daily reminder for us to to slow down and seriously enjoy our lives.

I’m currently taking on coaching clients! If you have a work project, a big dream, or a life connundrum you’d like to discuss with me, you can schedule a time here.
