“By changing her misconceptions, she went in a new direction.” Life is what happens while you’re making plans, right? After blogging weekly for a pretty consistent 14 weeks, something recently stopped me in my tracks. Life as I knew it changed. Routines went out of the window. Plans – both short term and long termContinueContinue reading “Love and Life”

A life you don’t need to escape from.
“And everyday is the right day.” I’ve been having a bit of enjoyment time lately. Today is Jubilee Thursday and I’m writing this on the train up to Glasgow to see Queen & Adam Lambert. Last weekend I spent with many, many friends seeing my favourite band Marillion (see last week’s blog for more onContinueContinue reading “A life you don’t need to escape from.”
Marillion Community
“In one sacred ritual, unmasked and undressed. We all come together. We’re all one tonight.” I’ve just spent a wonderful weekend in the company of hundreds of like-minded people. As is my usual blogging style, this is where I try to put into words something that shouldn’t really be attempted to put into words. SoContinueContinue reading “Marillion Community”
Yoga
“The frail form is drifting beyond the yoga zone.” Yoga is unlike any other exercise. Yoga is NOT just exercise. For many people – including myself – that’s how I came to yoga but I have learnt that it so, so much more. I’ve been practising yoga for over 20 years, originally marketed to me by theContinueContinue reading “Yoga”

Loneliness
“Would you please lend me your ear? I promise I won’t complain, I just need you to acknowledge I am here.” I realised that I missed a trick last week as it was Mental Health Awareness week. The theme was Loneliness and, as someone who lives alone and spent long periods of time without anyContinueContinue reading “Loneliness”
Gratitude
“All we are and all we need, Is all we are and all we need to be.” I’ve been in the happiness and wellbeing space for five years now. While the science is advancing and always finding out new nuances, there are some themes that are steadfast. There are some things that remain stubbornly fixedContinueContinue reading “Gratitude”
All we are and all we need, Is all we are and all we need to be
I’ve been in the happiness and wellbeing space for five years now. While the science is advancing and always finding out new nuances, there are some themes that are steadfast. There are some things that remain stubbornly fixed as “stuff you should do to feel better”. And one of those is gratitude. Yup. Whether it’sContinueContinue reading “All we are and all we need, Is all we are and all we need to be”
Who am I
“Who are you, who am I? Are we more than strangers passing by?” (This is a follow on from last week’s post in case you want to read that first!) Back in October I embarked on a six month course to work on my branding with the amazing Nicki James. While I knew this wouldn’tContinueContinue reading “Who am I”
