What things give you energy? Nothing saps my energy more than the violence and unkindness in this world. From social media, through being unable to trust our police forces, to inter-family spite, school bullying, bullying at work, genderism, colour prejudice and on and on. Thinking about our various societies just makes me want to putContinueContinue reading “The good things”

Now I have a headache!
Which topics would you like to be more informed about? I can’t begin to make all the topics because I may be interested in things I didn’t know existed and what if I forgot one of those?! 😱 I am eternally curious. Part of the reason I’m not an expert in any subject is thatContinueContinue reading “Now I have a headache!”
Sad
What would your life be like without music? I know this as at one point I stopped listening to music. It was a disaster. Rock on! Music uplifts me, motivates me, makes me write. I listen to music when I walk and land up unashamedly dancing through the streets. People laugh, I don’t care, they’reContinueContinue reading “Sad”
Asking for help
I just want to help I meet many people who talk me that they don’t like to ask for help, they prefer to get on with ‘it’ on their own. Those people rarely change. When I needed help I didn’t even think about not asking. I sought every piece of help and advice out there.ContinueContinue reading “Asking for help”
Celebrate?
How do you celebrate holidays? Coming from the UK, a holiday is when you pack a toothbrush and some underwear (plus the rest of the house and 12 extra pairs of knickers in case of emergencies), and go away for an extended period of time. Longer than a weekend break, but shorter than emigrating. UsuallyContinueContinue reading “Celebrate?”
Not so much fail
Write about your most epic baking or cooking fail. Perfect poetic justice I was very rarely a naughty child ever, certainly not mischievous. But one cold autumn day in about 1974, my bestie and I decided that freezing our extremities off watching a game of school netball wasn’t desirable. So we went to the headmistress,ContinueContinue reading “Not so much fail”
Look Deeper
If you’ve suffered abuse this blog may help, but this is about more general issues, nothing I write will ever trivialise abuse. Recently I had a weird situation with some people in my life. My husband noticed changes towards us both too. We weren’t sure what was going on and didn’t want to assume. AssumingContinueContinue reading “Look Deeper”
I Mattered
Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life. But very little else did. I was raised begging for attention, for fairness. No matter how hard I tried, how well behaved, I could never win. I used to describe myself as 3/10 must try harder. My younger brother and I agreed when weContinueContinue reading “I Mattered”
Seriously?
How often do you walk or run? Warning…This has morphed beyond punchy of its own free will! 🤣 When I was a kid I ran everywhere, down the corridor at school, as soon as I got out of the house. I lost count of the yells that followed me “don’t run”. Then I got myContinueContinue reading “Seriously?”
LOL
Do you see yourself as a leader? Yes. I’ve led a few teams and during my university days scored off the charts for my leadership style. I marked the group in exactly the same way, and the course tutor described it as a positive love fest that barely seemed real. Except we were all adamantContinueContinue reading “LOL”
