What’s a Challenge?

What is the biggest challenge you will face in the next six months? One person’s challenge is another person’s area of complete disinterest. What makes one person feel challenged another person may not even notice. My challenge For 40 years I fought acute anxiety that was enough. As a result I like a quiet steadyContinueContinue reading “What’s a Challenge?”

You Are NOT Your Parents

What advice would you give to your teenage self? I was raised in a family so certain that they were right that it took me a long time to discover just how wrong they were. I had to step out of line so far that I was thrown out of the family by my ownContinueContinue reading “You Are NOT Your Parents”

Unprompted

Every morning I leap straight onto my App, ready to practice my writing skills on a random question. Yet several times recently I’ve awoken to discover that I’ve already answered the prompt. If I didn’t always switch my phone off at night I’d be rather concerned that I was sleep writing! Okay, so in aContinueContinue reading “Unprompted”

Tripe-ing on My Phone

I’m a typical writer, when I have to write I have to write. This leads to me grabbing my phone in moments of creativity and attempting to type on it. I always go back through my blogs about an hour later as it takes a while for me to see the typos. Today I gotContinueContinue reading “Tripe-ing on My Phone”

Prejudice is Stupid

Up on the shelf – just got caught! I’m not a prejudiced person. Your skin colour will never determine whether or not I like you. I’m not that stupid. I seriously can’t believe looking at skin colour and making a decision. Although in fairness colour is key for a car, but I don’t hate theContinueContinue reading “Prejudice is Stupid”

Ermmm

What is your favorite drink? I honestly don’t know. I guess the closest I come is lime flavoured sparkling water, no sugar or sweeteners. I drink some alcohol but nothing stands out. I drink back coffee if I want something hot, the occasional cup of tea, a latte if I’m out. To be honest I’mContinueContinue reading “Ermmm”

Happy People

Who are your favorite people to be around? Happy, life affirming people. The human tendency is to focus on what’s not right in the world, and frankly it’s not a wonder at this time. It’s very hard to stay positive with everything that’s going on. The wars, political garbage instead of world leaders getting onContinueContinue reading “Happy People”

Dancing to My Own Tune

I lost myself years so. There were so many things I could do and I tried them all. It made sense at the time, but in truth this resulted in many diversions from my true love. Writing. When people tell you that you’re good at something, and you enjoy it, it’s only too easy toContinueContinue reading “Dancing to My Own Tune”

Truly a Story

Tell us about your favorite pair of shoes, and where they’ve taken you. In my bare feet I wander through realms I never expected to see. Places where no shoes are required. Where the ground is so soft and the air so light, you don’t need to be weighed down by shoes. It’s like theContinueContinue reading “Truly a Story”
