Connect with Fear
What’s the thing you’re most scared to do? What would it take to get you to do it? Fear has dogged my life. Apparently a child raised by a frightened father will struggle with fear, not having had that perceived strong protective force in their childhood. Like my father I suffered from anxiety, unlike him…
The State of the World
What do you complain about the most? The Lord of Misrule has bounced back to taunt us. However, it would be wrong to focus on one person when the problem is far deeper and wider. It is the length, breadth, and depth of our society. What? You thought it was all about the politicians? Not…
Football
What are your favorite sports to watch and play? I used to hate football with a passion, now I love it. Thus proving that you can change at any age. I was 66 when I morphed into a football fan. I’d enjoyed Rugby since the World Cup win over Australia, what an incredible match! There…
The Obvious Things
What would you do if you won the lottery? Of course you’re assuming it isn’t £3 on a scratch-card…which won’t buy a cup of coffee in the UK. If it’s millions a warm cosy, light, house will do nicely. Usual things, decent cars, maybe nice holidays. I secretly would love a private jet, but I…
The Authentic Self
Last night in group we were talking about authenticity. I woke up this morning wondering what it actually is at heart. The obvious rules are be yourself and speak your truth. But rules are often incomplete because they operate at the mind level not the heart level. At the mind level you’re open and truthful,…
1984
What books do you want to read? I’ve toyed with reading this book for many years, but the time feels right now. People are saying it explains much of what is happening today, particularly in America. I don’t think I’ve ever been so shocked as I am by the transformation of a great nation into…
Counting Cats (or not)
Write about a few of your favorite family traditions. I’ve answered this before, no family, no traditions. So what to do with this space? Are you in your life? Did you wake today in the free world?Or did you wake in a place where you are owned?Where you have to get upfeed the kidssort their…

Unattraction
Name an attraction or town close to home that you still haven’t got around to visiting. I used this image because I had one of my most peaceful moments sitting below this tower, on a blisteringly hot August day in Paris. I felt like using an image that recreates that feeling today. I love much…
I Know What Isn’t Fun
List five things you do for fun. A midnight trip to the vets with a cat with cystitis. It’s 2.03 am here and we’ve just got back. He’s in hospital overnight. Sigh. So not vet trips… I also enjoy time with friends. That’s it really. Thrilling! But when you get older, peace and quiet is…
