Sometimes

Do you vote in political elections? I know that the Suffragettes fought and gave their lives to give me a vote, but I also believe that women have rights to decide whether they can or can’t vote in good conscience. I dislike our two-party, mud slinging, party before people, political system, and don’t want toContinueContinue reading “Sometimes”

Not a Lot

What gives you direction in life? I don’t have a direction. I’ve got to the stage I laughed at as a young person. Give me my cats and a book and I’m happy. When I was young I thought that was the worst thing I saw when my parents settled for peace and quiet. IContinueContinue reading “Not a Lot”

Gertie the Camel

Enjoy one of the most inspirational stories I know, first told to me at a team building event, and never forgotten. Many centuries ago somewhere in Africa A man died leaving 3 sons behind him. The only thing this man had in life was 17 camels. He left half those camels to his eldest son,ContinueContinue reading “Gertie the Camel”

Weird Request

This verbal junk skews the way we view the world and feel about ourselves as people. Be discerning No one gets to tell you what itContinueContinue reading “Don’t Buy In”

Italy

What is your favorite holiday? Why is it your favorite? I took a very similar image I went to Italy with my ex and his parents. They did not get on. Ex and I didn’t get on either, but I loved his parents. They were the start of showing me the fault lines in myContinueContinue reading “Italy”

Years Ago

Have you ever been camping? Used to love it. My favourite memory is camping at the top of Derwent Water in the English Lake District, at the edge of the lake. We woke up in the morning, unzipped the tent, and sat up in bed drinking coffee and watching the morning mist lift from theContinueContinue reading “Years Ago”

Interesting

I’ve realised that a lot of the answers I write to the daily questions show the impact of my past in my life. Spiritually this is something that needs to be recognised and eradicated. I have slipped a bit I admit. Reality check We have no children but we have within us all the loveContinueContinue reading “Interesting”

Rarely

When do you feel most productive? I’ve spent my entire life fighting either my mind or my life or both. I didn’t learn about going with the flow for decades and once I did I embraced it, but there was a lot of faulty training to undo. You’ve probably read about the poor emotional backgroundContinueContinue reading “Rarely”
