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”

Good Question

What aspects of your cultural heritage are you most proud of or interested in? I don’t really think about being British. Did I when I was younger? I don’t particularly recall that. It’s where I was born. Then I became a spiritual thinker, which in itself is hard to describe as in my case it’sContinueContinue reading “Good Question”

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”

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”

I Mattered

Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life. But very little else did. I was raised begging for attention, for fairness. No matter how hard I tried, how well behaved, I could never win. I used to describe myself as 3/10 must try harder. My younger brother and I agreed when weContinueContinue reading “I Mattered”

Timeless Wisdom
