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?”

Only one
List three jobs you’d consider pursuing if money didn’t matter. My ‘job’. I’m a writer. I write to help others. That’s mostly free. I try to do it in a lighter way that doesn’t focus on problems, I offer solutions, and ideas for a different way of thinking and living. A way that has helpedContinueContinue reading “Only one”
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”
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”
Don’t Fear Your Greatest Teacher
As is your negative system Negativity is a bad word isn’t it? It means that you’re being negative! You’re failing yourself, your life, irritating the people around you, refusing to pull yourself together. Not realising how lucky you are. Refusing to look on the bright side. And on and on and boringly on. Reality checkContinueContinue reading “Don’t Fear Your Greatest Teacher”
Never
Are you holding a grudge? About? Holding a grudge means giving other people power over you, and that’s something I will not do. I won’t let unkind people live inside my head, turning me bitter, ruining my digestion with the extra bile, and generally allowing me to hold myself back. I deal with things toContinueContinue reading “Never”
“I’m Talking ‘Bout Good Vibrations”
Seeing the light Do you realise that as light hitting drops of water in the air creates rainbows, you’re seeing the light spectrum? You probably do but we think about them as rainbows not that we’re seeing what light looks like. A small tweak in thinking can make a big difference to the way youContinueContinue reading ““I’m Talking ‘Bout Good Vibrations””
