About LoveNangie™
Love Nangie™ is a gentle space built around kindness, curiosity, and moments of calm.
It was created by me - I have worked with children for over 20 years, providing support and reassurance to children who feel things deeply, think differently, and sometimes struggle to find places where they feel like they truly belong.
Some children notice more.
They notice details, feelings, and patterns others miss.
Often those same children are also the most creative, thoughtful, and perceptive people in the room.
LoveNangie™ exists to help create small spaces where that way of experiencing the World is understood, respected, and safe.
Being part of a community, gives that sense of belonging and increases your feeling of self worth. To follow my story about setting up a Community Meeting Group, join here
Why LoveNangie™ was created
Life has a way of reshaping what matters.
Through personal experiences with health, change, and learning how fragile our energy and wellbeing can be, a quieter understanding began to grow.
Sometimes the things that help the most are surprisingly simple:
• pausing
• breathing
• noticing nature
• creating something with your hands
• being allowed to move at your own pace
LoveNangie™ grew slowly from these ideas.
Not as a perfect plan — but as something gentle, curious, and still evolving.
What You’ll Find Here
LoveNangie™ isn’t designed to overwhelm.
It’s a place where people can explore small things that help bring a little more balance, calm, or connection.
You may find:
• gentle stories
• creative projects - any involvement or input in any of these would be welcome
• nature-inspired ideas
• wellbeing tools
• reflections from lived experience
• details on Community Meets
Some things may resonate.
Some things may simply pass by.
Both are completely fine.
Sparkly People™
One of the ideas growing inside LoveNangie™ is Sparkly People™.
Sparkly People™ is a 6 Month wellbeing project created especially for children who:
• feel things deeply
• think differently
• notice the world in unique ways
• have Sparkly brains
Through stories, drawing, nature objects, and playful ninja-style movement, children are invited to explore ways to feel:
• safe
• curious
• confident in who they are
Because every child carries something special inside them.
Sometimes they simply need a safe space, surrounded by safe people, for that sparkle to show.
Sparkly Schools™
LoveNangie is also the beginning of something much bigger.
Sparkly Schools™ is a project of The Sparkly Education Network™
A quiet idea that is slowly gathering Sparkly teachers, parents, and creators who believe that some children are not failing school - school is failing them.
Many Sparkly children grow up feeling;
• too sensitive
• too curious
• too energetic
• too imaginative
• too different
• just too much
But those differences are often extraordinary strengths.
Sparkly Schools™ are an early idea for a differenty kind of learning environment.
A place where neurodivergent children can flourish, build confidence, and learn real life skills through meaningful modules such as;
• hospitality
• wellbeing
• nature
• care
• creativity
• practical life skills
Alongside this; children can take part in the six month ninja training, learning how to;
• protect their sparkle
• calm their nervous system
• understand their mind better
• build resilience through positivity
• support others
Sparkly Schools are still forming.
Right now, they exist as conversations, ideas, and small groups of people who care deeply about creating something better.
If you are a parent, educator or creative thinker who belives education can be kinder, wiser and more human…
…you may already be a Sparkly School Founder.
More will appear here as the idea grows.
The Spirit of LoveNangie™
This space is guided by a few simple beliefs.
Children deserve to feel safe.
Sensitivity can be a strength.
Creativity helps people understand themselves.
And sometimes the most powerful thing we can offer someone is simply helping them feel less alone.
A Small Dedication
LoveNangie™ is a site made with love for my beautiful, beloved mum Angie, whose Grandchildren called her Nangie.
Her warmth, humour, and kindness continue to inspire the spirit behind this space
You’re Welcome Here
LoveNangie™ is still growing slowly and thoughtfully.
If something here helps you pause, breathe, or feel a little more at home in yourself, then it is doing exactly what it was meant to do.
