A Cause

If you had a million dollars to give away, who would you give it to? I would invest it in social housing in this country. By invest I don’t mean for profit, I would invest in lives. It would be a drop in the ocean, but why help one person when you can help many.ContinueContinue reading “A Cause”

Square Peg!

Tell us about a time when you felt out of place. I’ve felt out of place most of my life. I felt out of sync with my family for as long as I can remember, and eventually that imploded. I kid you not, years ago I could walk into a room, take of my coat,ContinueContinue reading “Square Peg!”

Happy Things

What details of your life could you pay more attention to? Focusing on happiness whenever and wherever you can find it changes your vibration. Looking on the bright side of life attracts you to those things. We’re not made to live in the darkness of a troubled mind, unfortunately that’s what our society focuses on.ContinueContinue reading “Happy Things”

Fulfilled?

In what ways does hard work make you feel fulfilled? When it comes to the day job I can honestly say that in 40 years I had one job I liked. But then I’m not a career person. Cleaning the house leaves me with a nice feeling, removing the stress of the dust, I feelContinueContinue reading “Fulfilled?”

The good things

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”

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”

Perfect 10

Name the professional athletes you respect the most and why. George Ford The England Ruby player who distinguished himself by winning all 27 points yesterday. I’m not a big fan of Rugby, but I do prefer it to watching millionaires cry on their coach’s shoulder when horrid people expect them to take a penalty. YesterdayContinueContinue reading “Perfect 10”

Marketing Plan

Photo by MART PRODUCTION on Pexels.com I wrote this in 2012 when I was thinking about the work I wanted to do and how to present it. Often, when my ideas won’t fall into a semblance of order, I turn to poetry and just let the words flow onto the page. This was the result.ContinueContinue reading “Marketing Plan”

Just to help

What change, big or small, would you like your blog to make in the world? I used to suffer from terrible acute anxiety. I was born into a very messed up family, no abuse, but I’m still seeing the effects in my younger brother and until recently my cousin, to this day. I way toContinueContinue reading “Just to help”
