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

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”
Spiritual Thinking
What experiences in life helped you grow the most? Being the light in my life I know this is a recurring theme with me but it’s just true. At a time when I was lost and desperately sad and lonely, I was taught another way to live. It was a way that I realised I’dContinueContinue reading “Spiritual Thinking”
Self Determination
Do you believe in fate/destiny? Oddly, as a spiritual thinker, I’ve always been neutral on this subject. It was definitely odd that I met my husband. He was born on the other side of the world, yet had a strong pull to come to England even though he’s half Scots. A tartan outrage of everContinueContinue reading “Self Determination”

Loss
Describe a phase in life that was difficult to say goodbye to. I find it quite easy to move on in life, I enjoy new experiences. The only thing that I find very hard to move on from is the loss of a loved one or pet. I include friends as loved ones. That’s atContinueContinue reading “Loss”
