My Preloved Life Blog

My husband died 2 years ago, it was an incredible 46 year romance and getting over his death was a challenge. This blog is all about how I dealt with his death, the strategies I used, the tools I discovered, the opportunities I embraced and the new preloved life I have built. My Blog is divided into Beginnings, Helped Me, Solo Life. and Sixty Days.

NLP training is great way to learn new life strategies. An added bonus for me is that I made some great friends on the training course too.

New Ideas Out of the Blue

November 23, 2021 in Solo Life

I've been toying with ways I can use my story to help other people grieving from loss or separation. My plan is to offer my home, currently listed on Airbnb as a place to learn new skills and strategies to move on.

I’ve had people stay with me from all over the world and the feedback is always positive about the energy in my home.

Last year I wrote a blog about how I used Airbnb to combat loneliness and this blog was picked up by ITV news for a feature documentary they were making on the Airbnb Economy. 

I plan to take my Airbnb hosting one step further and offer a nurturing space for people to begin their new solo life journey.

You can join me for the day or for a weekend experience where you stay for 2 nights, arrive on Friday, spend a full Saturday together, leaving after Sunday lunch at the brand new all-vegan pub that's just opened in town.

The day experience will be for a maximum of 5 people, the weekend will be for just one person. 

The weekend events are exclusive, you get to tailor your stay by picking from a range of activities, including:

  • Experimenting with colour

  • Walking in nature

  • Meditation practice

  • Making Kimchi

  • Journalling

  • Preloved shopping

  • BE DO HAVE GIVE Exercise

  • Discovering the live local music scene ( depending on availability )

  • Record a podcast interview

Weekends will be limited, so you'll need to act quickly to reserve your space. Please get in touch if you have any questions.

The reason why I want to offer my home and give time to this new project is that I spent an amazing week with a spiritual coach in Sardinia just a few months after Steve died and it was life-changing. It was pivotal on my journey and helped me to move on. I wrote my first ever poem on the beach during that week too.

I can't promise Sardinia weather but I can promise to listen to you, to help you find a new path whilst still honouring the memories that will always be with you.

Do you know someone who could benefit from this experience? If so perhaps you could share my post.
