Black Friday Blues
It was ‘Black Friday’ yesterday, I don’t know what colour it is today, maybe it’s yellow, or maybe it depends on the sort of day you are having? A new occasion I don’t remember Black Friday existing when I was a child. Only in the last few years have I become aware of it when […]
Sorry Vanessa!
More on Artist’s Way On the theme of Julia Cameron – during one of her sessions at the Writer’s Workshop, we were asked to think about our inner critic. I was pleased to work on unmasking this cowardly voice that lives deep inside my unconscious mind, who pops up every now again to shout insults […]
Good Morning – Pages
I have a feeling that this may be a long post or post that becomes a series of posts because that’s what happens when I am inspired. Hearing words I recently attended a Hay House event, the Writer’s Workshop, in Bristol, UK. One of my main reasons to attend was because it was an opportunity […]
Nothing Lasts
‘Nothing Lasts’. Does that title make you feel sad? Does it sound negative to you? Is it the sort of remark you expect from someone who is bitter and regretful? Do you imagine only someone who had been hurt/disappointed/rejected/abandoned would say it? The source of happiness Nothing lasts, is something I constantly remind myself because […]
Self-Care First
There are lots of reasons why people get stressed and anxious but recently I keep hearing the same thing from the clients I see. They are suffering from overwhelm because they care for others to the extent that they don’t have enough time to care for themselves. Double edged sword One of the problems is […]
The Art of Missing
Lucky I am lucky that I have a partner that I love spending time with. For more than eight years, we worked together and lived together, something that other couples told us would be their worst nightmare but it suited us. We travelled the world, sharing experiences and making memories together. Despite the amount of […]
Lost and Found
Yesterday, I wrote about life’s uncertainty in the morning and in the afternoon it was affirmed – several times! I’ve also written about my (non)sense of direction this too was confirmed beyond any possible doubt! Lost again BUT found in a wonderful world. A map is not a guarantee This time, I thought we would be […]
The Uncertainty of Certainty
Some people seek certainty I understand why people want more certainty in their life. It’s comforting to be able to rely on things being exactly as you predict they will be. This could be the basics like where you live, work and who your friends are or having certain routines at home and work. When […]
Just Unsubscribe
Email is a wonderful way to connect and keep in touch with people, arrange your car insurance, be reminded of meetings, get news and updates and much more. Downside It also has the ability to overwhelm us. I know people who regularly have over 2,000 unopened emails in their inbox. Some are people who have […]
Who Shall I Be ?
I don’t often had bad dreams but last night was an exception (probably because of the medication I took to help deal with the effects of the wasp sting). It wasn’t a nightmare as such but it was disturbing and I woke up with an unpleasant feeling. Drifting As I lay in bed still half […]
