Stuff, Money, and Nonsense.

Comparing the life of a blogging friend from the Philippines, to my experience of life in the UK. Very different lives, both have positives, but one clearly wins on natural living and family connection.

The Social Media Myth

I’ve been on social media for over a decade, maybe nearer 2 decades. I used to enjoy it, it was a place to connect with others, meet new people, I honestly thought that I would make new friends that I could meet. I have had some luck with that. I initially joined to connect withContinueContinue reading “The Social Media Myth”

Hands Up…!

Okay I admit it! I’m having a wobble. I’ve lost myself and tried to undo all my forward momentum on my anxiety. I went back to my Joe Dispenza meditations faster than the speed of light! I have found though that one meditation works better than the other for me. Boy have I struggled…I wrote in my poemContinueContinue reading “Hands Up…!”

Badly

How do you manage screen time for yourself? I may be a wrinkly but if it’s modern it fascinates me. As soon as mobile phones appeared my fingers started to itch. I needed to know what this was about. Plus I did live in the country having moved from London, where there was a telephoneContinueContinue reading “Badly”

When I needed help I didn’t even think about not asking. I sought every piece of help and advice out there.ContinueContinue reading “Asking for help”

I personally found that anxiety made me feel like a fool, stupid for feeling the way I did, even though IContinueContinue reading “Not Always Anxiety”

The Trouble with Death

It’s about love Let me begin by saying that this isn’t going to be a grim or upsetting blog. I won’t be dwelling on bad memories, illness, or funerals. It’s a purely emotional blog but not a tear stained one. It’s difficult I decided to start with the patently obvious, but in truth this isn’tContinueContinue reading “The Trouble with Death”

Coronation Conniptions

The Lion of England? So today’s the day. Love it or hate it, the UK and Commonwealth (those nations still monarchies) are getting an official King crowned in the eyes of God. Dedicating himself to a duty that only ends with the grave. That’s a BIG commitment. Division rules This blog isn’t about royal worship,ContinueContinue reading “Coronation Conniptions”
