You may have come across the saying, “The more you give, the more you receive.”
In essence, I think that it is true, although I would amend it slightly, “The more you give, without expecting anything in return, the more you receive.”
My Free Resources page is about giving without expecting anything in return. Every resource on this page has been curated/created by me personally, I am convinced that each resource will also be of use to you. As always, my horses (past and present, and maybe future) hover on the sidelines with inspiration, guidance, support and motivation.
I have created (and I keep adding to) this page as a 100% free gift – you do not even have to surrender your email address to be able to download these resources.
I would, of course, be infinitely grateful if you would subscribe to my Savoir Vivre Vignettes newsletter, to receive notification of last-minute or early-bird special offers on all my retreats, get access to my free 7-part Journal Yourself Stressfree online retreat and to download my free Ten Top Tips to Make your next Retreat your Best Ever e-guide.
