What could you try for the first time? Except I can’t think of one. Maybe not suffering fools gladly? Sometimes I could do with a little less tolerance. We had a situation recently where the way we were treated was rather horrible. It was quite a shock to be honest as it was with anContinueContinue reading “Loads of Things”

What principles define how you live? Love this sky When you get a hole in the clouds like this I always feel like I’m looking into another world. As if it’s an opening into a magical realm. I grabbed this photo when I was trying to capture the northern lights the other night, hoping they’dContinueContinue reading “Spirit”

What have you been putting off doing? Why? Housework. Decorating. Cleaning the paintwork. Going into the garage. That’s my husband’s space where the tidy image he presents gives way to the truth. He’s messy. I have days where cleaning comes easily and I keep going for as long as I can. I know to makeContinueContinue reading “Anything Boring”

When was the first time you really felt like a grown up (if ever)? Kind of sums it up My big mistake was believing that there is any such thing as a grown up.

I knowContinueContinue reading “Writing Another Book”

What was the hardest personal goal you’ve set for yourself? I used to worry in case there was something I should be worrying about and I’d forgotten what it was. I also suffered from undiagnosed acute anxiety. Whilst I had lovely parents with much to recommend them, through no fault of their own their livesContinueContinue reading “Stopping Worrying”

Who are your favorite artists? God/creation/nature. Whichever way you look at it this world is a work of art. Theoretical physicist and mathematician, Frank Wilczek, argued that beauty is the fundamental motive behind the universe, and that if there is a creator they are an artist. His book “A Beautiful Question” is worth reading. YetContinueContinue reading “Just One”

What is your favorite hobby or pastime? How many images has this conjured up? For me it’s my mother when she saw a spider. That was in the days you never thought to get a glass and take it outside. I’m glad I live in these days. “If you want to live and thrive, letContinueContinue reading “Writing”
