As you may already know, I walk a spiritual path, or try to. I long ago became realistic about being spirit in the human world, and don’t try for the flowing robes and carefree hair, barefoot in the grass, type approach. I’m not cynical, it just doesn’t work for me. There’s too much damned realityContinue reading “The Drawbacks of Goodness and Gratitude”

The Emmett Technique
As I’m sitting here in the sun waiting for my husband to finish his Emmett treatment, I fold that I didn’t feel like playing solitaire on my phone. What should I do? I asked myself. Then I thought ‘why not a blog on Emmetts, after all you are supposed to be here to help.’ NothingContinue reading “The Emmett Technique”
Marketing Plan?
I just discovered this poem that I clearly wrote about my work at a time when someone somewhere was trying to persuade me to join a marketing bandwagon and turn my clients into profit. Yes I know it’s sensible, no I can’t think that way, first and foremost people matter. I hold my beliefs inContinue reading “Marketing Plan?”
Why?
Here is a waterfall. It hasn’t decided to be a waterfall. The water was there, the drop was there, the water found its way there and then the only option was to flow downwards. Gravity is in charge. When you want to make changes in your life you should stop and work out why youContinue reading “Why?”
Youth is Wasted on the Young
Like most young people I never thought I would ever utter such sacrilegious words. Now I’m finally young I understand how true they are. I’m 65 years young, and next month I become a state pensioner, don’t ask me how that happened. It follows a prediction of my mother’s: one moment you’ll be 21 andContinue reading “Youth is Wasted on the Young”
Simply Colour
I was talking about my work on social media this morning and mentioned how I had lost my enthusiasm for what I do, due to finding it very difficult to describe the way I work with people. As with all things, the moment you put a problem into words a solution jumps out and smacksContinue reading “Simply Colour”
Behind Belief
“The way he thought about it was this: his colleagues were excellent at reading the time on the clock face, but it often seemed to surprise them to discover there were cogs behind it that made the hands turn.”Alex North: The Half Burnt House This tickled me pink when I read it, written as itContinue reading “Behind Belief”
Coronation Conniptions
So today’s the day. Love it or hate it, the UK and Commonwealth (those nations still monarchies) are getting an official King crowned in the eyes of God. Dedicating himself to a duty that only ends with the grave. That’s a BIG commitment. Division rules This blog isn’t about royal worship, royal loathing, or evenContinue reading “Coronation Conniptions”
Pre-Determined?
This post follows on from the one on Determinism last week. I found myself mulling over the idea at the weekend and the oddest thought came to me. Even before I married my ex the only eventual choice would be to divorce him. There were no other options. This got me thinking about gut instinct,Continue reading “Pre-Determined?”
Determinism
“Determinism is a philosophical view, where all events are determined completely by previously existing causes. Deterministic theories throughout the history of philosophy have developed from diverse and sometimes overlapping motives and considerations.” Wikipedia I have heard of this before but this blog was triggered by a novel I’m reading by Alex North – The Half Burnt House. Going withContinue reading “Determinism”
