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”
Live!
This is an old rhyming poem that I decided was worth a 21st Century revisit. I don’t normally go for rhyming now, but it seemed to me that the message within the poem was one worth repeating any time that you can, in any way that you can. Hope it inspires your best decisions. LiveContinueContinue reading “Live!”
Children My Children
This is an interesting one with its dual title. I didn’t feel comfortable signing it ‘from God’ but that’s what it felt like when I was typing it. Just take it whichever way your beliefs allow. From your chosen deity or someone who wants you to be happy. Children My Children (or the concerns ofContinueContinue reading “Children My Children”
Does the Law of Attraction Work?

It was quite a while before a guy I follow, Mike Dooley (www.tut.com), added “visualise, show up, do something.” That’s the Law of Attraction plusContinueContinue reading “Does the Law of Attraction Work?”
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”
Things I Thought I Needed
I’m one in 1,000, which isn’t too shoddy! When I was young I felt like no one and nothing. I’d dreamed of going to university, flying the nest, travelling the world, and having a great career as an interpreter in foreign climes. Instead my parents took me out of school aged 16 because I hadContinueContinue reading “Things I Thought I Needed”
Tact and Impotency
Photo by Engin Akyurt on Pexels.com Tactfully I don’t say what I’m thinking What would be the point? I’ve tried and tried until I’m tired You have your own views And anything I could contribute Would come from my reality My experience My raison d’etre And I can’t give you the will or desire ThatContinueContinue reading “Tact and Impotency”
