Book Snippet: Are you ready to change? P.65

Taking time to work out what you need to change in your life is great, but recognising that first you need to change your mind and attitude first so that you make better choices and decisions, is extremely powerful.

A Song for All Democracies

Tonight I was watching probably the most uninspiring Last Night of the Proms I’ve seen. There were some wonderful songs and acts, the best of which was Bohemian Rhapsody. But the energy just wasn’t there. Something was just off compared to Proms of the past. It got me thinking though. Land of Hope and GloryContinueContinue reading “A Song for All Democracies”

Out of the Dark

When you’re struggling you feel the sensuous voice of the darkness trying to dim your light, often using the voices of those around you. This was my response. Be your own light Deb xx

Be Yourself – Live Your Life

Compromising the self leaves you not knowing who you are, never feeling right, and always being asked more of. Some thoughts about why you shouldn’t do that.

Hard to Say

Do you spend more time thinking about the future or the past? Why? Minds don’t stay in one place for long. I’m not a fan of looking back unless it’s to good memories. I do like to mull my way forward sometimes, but then that can be to miss the here and now, which isContinueContinue reading “Hard to Say”

We Not They

I used to comment a lot on faulty thinking and I’ve stopped. Time to start again. It may surprise you to know that this saying grates on my nerves.

It is about the entire way we as humans connect with this world, and theContinueContinue reading “Will We?”

They may not use those words but it’s implicit in the chivvying up process. You can’t whip yourself together with one smart pull,ContinueContinue reading “The ‘sigh’ in the Room?”

No idea

Just live! What will your life be like in three years? I don’t have a clue? Isn’t that wonderful?! I find that if you try to think ahead you will always see more of what you have now. Whereas if you go with the flow and keep your eyes wide open, you never know whatContinueContinue reading “No idea”

The Good Ones

What principles define how you live? Kindness, inclusion, respect, consideration, thoughtfulness, gentleness, understanding, tolerance. Which is why I find this world so hard to tolerate From having to hit the car horn if someone dares to want to share a road with you, or refuse to move out of your way instantly in a trafficContinueContinue reading “The Good Ones”
