Brand Identity?

What brands do you associate with? There are many ways to take this question, but I personally see association with brands to mean that you have favourites that represent your personality. I’m a Gemini! I’d love a Porsche and a Smart Car, yet it wouldn’t bother me if I never had them. With clothes I’veContinueContinue reading “Brand Identity?”

Walking and Fun

What could you do more of? I’m a writer and therefore part recluse, which makes it hard for me to get out of the house some days. I’m at my happiest pottering around with my cats. Added to that I’m an empath, different from empathy, it means that I feel the feelings of others asContinueContinue reading “Walking and Fun”

Doubt

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received? This came from my much missed mentor and friend, Keith Macfarlane: When in doubt, don’t. I’ve followed this for the last 39 years, and I’ve realised that it works in two ways. Firstly, better to do nothing until you know what you want to do. ItContinueContinue reading “Doubt”

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”

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!”

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”

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?”
