Wishing Words

Happy Things

What details of your life could you pay more attention to? Focusing on happiness whenever and wherever you can find it changes your vibration. Looking on the bright side of life attracts you to those things. We’re not made to live in the darkness of a troubled mind, unfortunately that’s what our society focuses on.ContinueContinue reading “Happy Things”

Fulfilled?

In what ways does hard work make you feel fulfilled? When it comes to the day job I can honestly say that in 40 years I had one job I liked. But then I’m not a career person. Cleaning the house leaves me with a nice feeling, removing the stress of the dust, I feelContinueContinue reading “Fulfilled?”

Only one

List three jobs you’d consider pursuing if money didn’t matter. My ‘job’. I’m a writer. I write to help others. That’s mostly free. I try to do it in a lighter way that doesn’t focus on problems, I offer solutions, and ideas for a different way of thinking and living. A way that has helpedContinueContinue reading “Only one”

Brand Identity?

What brands do you associate with? There are many ways to take this question, but I personally see association with brands to mean that you have favourites that represent your personality. I’m a Gemini! I’d love a Porsche and a Smart Car, yet it wouldn’t bother me if I never had them. With clothes I’veContinueContinue reading “Brand Identity?”

Walking and Fun

What could you do more of? I’m a writer and therefore part recluse, which makes it hard for me to get out of the house some days. I’m at my happiest pottering around with my cats. Added to that I’m an empath, different from empathy, it means that I feel the feelings of others asContinueContinue reading “Walking and Fun”

Doubt

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received? This came from my much missed mentor and friend, Keith Macfarlane: When in doubt, don’t. I’ve followed this for the last 39 years, and I’ve realised that it works in two ways. Firstly, better to do nothing until you know what you want to do. ItContinueContinue reading “Doubt”

Now I have a headache!

Which topics would you like to be more informed about? I can’t begin to make all the topics because I may be interested in things I didn’t know existed and what if I forgot one of those?! 😱 I am eternally curious. Part of the reason I’m not an expert in any subject is thatContinueContinue reading “Now I have a headache!”

Asking for help

I just want to help I meet many people who talk me that they don’t like to ask for help, they prefer to get on with ‘it’ on their own. Those people rarely change. When I needed help I didn’t even think about not asking. I sought every piece of help and advice out there.ContinueContinue reading “Asking for help”

Look Deeper

If you’ve suffered abuse this blog may help, but this is about more general issues, nothing I write will ever trivialise abuse. Recently I had a weird situation with some people in my life. My husband noticed changes towards us both too. We weren’t sure what was going on and didn’t want to assume. AssumingContinueContinue reading “Look Deeper”
