Our lovely meeting room at Carluccio’s in Covent Garden gave us a warm return welcome yesterday to our second annual reunion of the Fab at 40! Fulfilled at 50!  gathering of women. Over Sunday morning orders of fresh mint teas and lattes accompanied with fresh juices and an Italian styled breakfast we enjoyed each other company as well as quality time focusing on ourselves.

Hosted by Ladies who Lunch http://ladieswholunchuk.com and facilitated by moi we had an amazing morning of live-shopping, stories that did make us laugh out loud along with a round of juicy conversations made up of conversations we don’t make room for in our everyday. This prompted some great connections amongst the group, with several overheard, “ Now that’s a great question,” along with lots of laughter.

Our time together could have easily stretched into the whole day but nonetheless was time well spent. We had time to hear updates on the journeys each woman has been on over the last year from staying true to their true life purpose, mindfully leaving a job that just wasn’t right to taking control of our health and well being and getting lives and health back on track.

Towards the end I did a couple of informal/impromptu coaching sessions as we shared over our delicious breakfast’s of a medley of tropical fruit, poached and scrambled eggs and what looked like flavoursome strips of well grilled smoky pancetta. Yes I was eating a bowl of fruit with yoghurt looking longingly into the other plates wishing……

We wrote letters to our future selves, which we will receive in a month’s time from a member of the group. It was great to see the gusto and the child like energy, which filled the space as the group creatively, decorated the outsides of their envelopes. We all commented on the noticeable absence of handwritten letters through our letterboxes and how much this was missed.

It was a great investment to spend quality time in the company of other women, reviewing, reflecting and refocusing on our futures as well as reclaiming the past.

We all left with one word that we will embody to take us through the next six months. My word was ‘Harvesting’

I look forward to year three of the annual morning breakfast for the Fab at 40! Fulfilled at 50! group.

In the meantime enjoy a few photos from our morning and time together along with a couple of video clips from the live-shop.
