The phrase, ‘Your wings already exist’, reminds someone of the skills they already have, while ‘all you have to do is fly’ is a gentle encouragement for them to have the confidence to put those skills into action. To represent this mantra, we chose a Dragonfly, and designed a delicate pendant to hang on our chain.

I have run the London Marathon twice, both times for charity. And through all my training and the run itself, the most useful piece of wisdom that I was given was this: you run a marathon with your mind, not your legs.

We felt such an inspirational lady needed her own set of mantras, so here are ours inspired by FLOTUS…Hard work brings sweet rewards      &nbs...
