How do you waste the most time every day? Handheld temptation I can’t believe I’ve fallen for this! And at my age! Obsessed with silly games. Always on my phone, nervous if it’s more than a foot away. Mind you it does have the pictures of my cats on it. On the other hand they’reContinueContinue reading “Playing Stupid Games”

Nothing
Which food, when you eat it, instantly transports you to childhood? I guess the closest I could come would be a beach in Bude in Cornwall, with a huge soft ice cream, that was filled right down to the bottom of the cone, and had cream on top. Food is about more than eating, it’sContinueContinue reading “Nothing”
Marcus Aurelius
Who is your favorite historical figure? But in honesty I don’t tend to look back in that way. As an historian by degree I do love history, but only in as much as it’s relevant to the present. What has history taught us? How do we use that knowledge now? In the case of warContinueContinue reading “Marcus Aurelius”
Live Long and Prosper
Write about your first crush. My first crush was actually a man who worked for my uncle when I was a little girl. Knowing this, when they looked after me the day of my grandad’s funeral they let me ‘help’ him that day. My aunt and uncle were very kind people. Some of the bestContinueContinue reading “Live Long and Prosper”
Visualisation or Meditation?
My Guide Amos has taught me the power of visualisation and how it works differently in the human mind from meditation. The basics are simple: Meditation is to relax the mind, so even if guided you just relax and go with it. Visualisation is a deliberate exercise using your own mind to create something youContinueContinue reading “Visualisation or Meditation?”
So There You Have It
Clarence here Have you seen the news reports on polls about the election? The public trusts no one. They believe that no party can deliver on their financial promises because the country is broke. Now we know where common sense lives, amongst the public. The recent debates have been predictable. Farage’s conviction has half theContinueContinue reading “So There You Have It”
None/All/Some
What countries do you want to visit? I’m a bit of a home body nowadays, not something I thought I’d ever be, but I’ve learned that there is a lot of contentment in the simple things. So part of me wants to go everywhere, although China (as per the sign above) wouldn’t be on myContinueContinue reading “None/All/Some”
Swings and Roundabouts
What’s your favorite thing about yourself? I know I’m very kind I’m not bigging myself up. With very few exceptions the people in my life haven’t been a positive force and I’ve asked myself to put up with far too much. It’s not that people are bad, but at least 6 really were. Not abuse,ContinueContinue reading “Swings and Roundabouts”
Walk With Me
Don’t feel like moving, no problem. Just sit. Put both hands over your heart. Feel the warmth. Close your eyes. Relax the centre of your forehead. Sounds weird but just let the tension go out of your face. If you see colours accept them. Now, take yourself for a walk, keeping those hands over yourContinueContinue reading “Walk With Me”
I Am
How do you want to retire? Lovely but I actually stopped work 14 years ago, my career had never taken off, I’d just walked out of the most awful job with the most awful people I’d ever met. The most appalling boss I’d ever encountered. I’d had enough. I was working with someone I thoughtContinueContinue reading “I Am”
