Dear Me!

Write a letter to your 100-year-old self. Stop worrying, it was all fine! Hope you’re still giggling and haven’t believed the rumours about ageing. Keeeep dancing! Me xx

Where would you go on a shopping spree? I have no idea if shopping in other countries is as mind numbingly boring as it is in the UK, But I do know that a shopping spree won’t happen here. Does mother know best? Years ago my mother said exactly what I’m saying now. That clothesContinueContinue reading “Abroad”

Ann

What is your middle name? Does it carry any special meaning/significance? It’s the result of an argument. 🤣 My father wanted me called Ann, my mother said a flat no because everyone would call me Annie and she’d spend her entire life screaming “Her name IS ANN!” They were at such loggerheads my aunt suggestedContinueContinue reading “Ann”

Learning All the Time

What is the last thing you learned? I’m changing my mindset. It’s no secret that life didn’t set me to be a beaming sunbeam of giggles, and it’s all very well to understand it, but I’m fed up with it. All self-help writers write from experience, partly so that the reader knows they do getContinueContinue reading “Learning All the Time”

Not so much a question

What is one question you hate to be asked? Explain. Working in the popular spiritual field is a minefield. Before I continue please note that I fully respect this work and the vast majority of the people who undertake it. Like all fields, the police being a good example, we have our rotten eggs, andContinueContinue reading “Not so much a question”

It Hasn’t

How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success? I can see that some things weren’t meant to work out, that’s a given. At the time it felt like a disaster, but I’ve learned a lot about the person I am and can see that a lot of what I wasContinueContinue reading “It Hasn’t”

20/20 Foresight

My mentor had a lovely saying that I certainly hadn’t heard before: 20/20 hindsight would only be useful beforehand. It tickled me pink, but it’s also so true. The past is of minimal help Whilst we can learn the lessons of the past, continually looking back doesn’t create a great future. Only using those lessonsContinueContinue reading “20/20 Foresight”

Family!

You’re writing your autobiography. What’s your opening sentence? “I would like to have been born into a stable family who knew how to be happy.” Rocky foundation Negativity wasn’t a word when I was young, but my family epitomised it on any number of levels. The only birth family I have now is my brotherContinueContinue reading “Family!”

Stuff?

What are three objects you couldn’t live without? I’m not sure there’s anything I couldn’t live without. If there is it certainly wouldn’t be an object. I couldn’t live without air, food, and water. I grieve deeply when I lose a pet. I’m a little helped on the subject of human loss as I’m aContinueContinue reading “Stuff?”

The Power of Two Letters to Unite

I’ve never liked the myth that men and women are different, I’ve always believed that we’re two sides of the same coin, wanting the same things. Bringing our individual strengths and abilities to the party. I don’t like it when people spread myths that divide, convince humans that they can’t get along. Especially with thisContinueContinue reading “The Power of Two Letters to Unite”
