Can I have two?
If you had to give up one word that you use regularly, what would it be? Dear God! I’d like to give them up because they come to mind when I’m looking at the levels of violence, cruelty, and indifference in this world. Humanity presents as a cess pit, even though there are many moreContinueContinue reading “Can I have two?”
Nope
Are you holding a grudge? About? Holding a grudge only hurts you. Indifference to those who have done so is key. Better to see them on the street, look puzzled, say “I know you from somewhere but I just can’t place you”. If they explain look even more puzzled and back off as if they’reContinueContinue reading “Nope”
New Zealand

Light and Welcoming

Doors that slide right back in the summer. In truth it’s not the house it’s location and land. Quiet. Fairly isolated. Big gardenContinueContinue reading “Light and Welcoming”

However, those words must be followed up by the right actions. People with the courage to commit to, and pursue peace.ContinueContinue reading “To Create Change”
My Mother?
Interview someone — a friend, another blogger, your mother, the mailman — and write a post based on their responses. Now that would be interesting. I’m a medium so interviewing my mother is still possible. Although this is a brilliant question, how many of you I wonder have the opportunity to do this today? IContinueContinue reading “My Mother?”
Bit Tired but Good
How are you feeling right now? Yesterday we went down to Glastonbury to catch up with a lovely man who used to be our vet, and meet his wife, a warm, funny, and caring person. We also met their son. If the security of this country is partly in his hands I definitely feel safer.ContinueContinue reading “Bit Tired but Good”
