Not in My Wildest Dreams
Did I ever think I’d constantly write about being quiet and preferring peace. In my youth I had all kinds of ideas, but no idea how to achieve them. My parents were more likely to say no than ‘why not, we will back you.’ They considered praise to be dangerous as it created arrogance. TheContinueContinue reading “Not in My Wildest Dreams”
You Are NOT Your Bank Balance
One of the little pieces of blackmail I have always ‘loved’ is that if you don’t charge enough for your work you don’t value yourself and other people won’t believe in you. That, or charging weeds out the losers. To a certain extent that is true, because some people value money in the wrong way.ContinueContinue reading “You Are NOT Your Bank Balance”
Spring
What’s your favorite month of the year? Why? Hope My favourite months are springtime, all of it. The moment I see a daffodil my spirits lift and I feel renewed and hopeful. I struggle emotionally from October onwards, normally picking up in December. It’s as if my body feels the sap dropping in the trees.ContinueContinue reading “Spring”
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”

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”
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!”
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”
The Heart of Our House
‘Home’ means different things The heart of my house said the tired young wifeIs the room that my husband and children dislikeFor they’d never be seen near a dish cloth or soapAnd if they had to cook well they’d just never copeSo my sanctuary’s found in the room they all hateFrom whence dinner appears allContinueContinue reading “The Heart of Our House”
