Anyone can believe in a religion,ContinueContinue reading “It IS My Life”

How do you practice self-care? Mind is King I think therefore I amRené Descartes This is Descarte’s First Principal, and it’s critical. For centuries humans have talked about the mind without fully understanding it. The experts know, but a lot of that doesn’t filter down to us ordinary mortals.

How do you waste the most time every day? If you’d ever told me that I would be sitting on my butt with a computer in my hand, rather than a book, I would have laughed at you.

It can leave you trying to solve problems you can’t solve, such as the atrocities in first Ukraine, then Israel, then Gaza, and now it’s widening out.

How do you want to retire? I’m three years past retirement age yet my work is taking off and I love it. I’m energised by it. It’s taken me twenty years to find myself in my work, but I don’t mind that as I learn then I share. It was my life path to doContinueContinue reading “I Am but I Don’t”

What’s the oldest thing you own that you still use daily? Me I guess. This was taken about 18 years ago. I loved that dress. It was unusual. Full length at the back. But the ownership idea comes from realising that I need to own my own mind and my own life, and stop allowingContinueContinue reading “No Idea”
