Curiosity May Kill This Speaker
And I’m no cat although I am on life no 2 I was with relatives recently and one said “there’s always something happening with you”. They meant it in a nice way but were making the point that I do seem to get into scrapes, weird situations or, as I prefer to call them, adventures […]
Bored and Disillusioned
Would a bit of disruption be the cure? It’s no good. I am bored and disillusioned with the outside world at the moment. All I’m hearing is ‘wah, wah,wah’ and it’s getting ever harder to find things that inspire, excite or even promote hope. Don’t get me wrong, these better things are out there, they […]
Dance to the Rhythm of Your Own Drum
Embrace an alternative beat, and create a more fulfilling and harmonious work life balance. I wrote last time about how time seems to have speeded up and the constant racing against the clock we all do, ending the day feeling drained and overwhelmed. It’s a problem for both our productivity and also our well-being. Many […]
It’s the Time Warp Again!
The Peculiar Sensation of Time Speeding Up Tick-tock, tick-tock! Have you noticed that time seems to be zooming past us lately? It’s as if someone hit the fast-forward button on the universal remote control, and now we’re all caught in an epic time warp. The seconds, minutes, hours, and days are whizzing by at an […]
So, What is Your What Next?
Much is made these days of living in the moment, or going with the flow, isn’t it? As someone who narrowly cheated death, I can certainly see the merit in such an approach to life. However my experiences have also taught me the enormous value of having my ‘what’s next?’ firmly in my back pocket. […]

This is particularly important when I’m under pressure or facing challenging situations Being in the now is something that I’ve been reminded of recently, especially as I was almost wiped out by a transit van on the M56 a few weeks ago. The incident unnerved me so much I am now taking an Advanced Driving Course. […]
Don’t Be Trendy, Be Different
You’ll inspire others when you choose to be different. In today’s society, it’s easy to get caught up in the latest trends and follow the crowd. From fashion to music to social media, it seems like everyone is trying to fit in and be like everyone else. But is that really the way to live? […]
Don’t Underestimate Yourself
You have a right to be heard. You have the right to be listened and responded to when you take a stand It’s easily done, and I’ve observed it often. When someone is faced with a challenge, task or need to stand up for themselves I can see the look of resignation cross their face […]
Weight A Minute – It’s Time to Face It
I’ve never had to diet properly before but the menopause has changed all that. Preparing for an event recently I was trying on outfits to see which I wanted to wear. With growing horror, I realised that none of them were fitting properly. Either I couldn’t get the zip to close, or the garment was […]
The Weather Outside Might be Frightful
Where would you fancy going and what would you like to experience? Hands up those who dislike February? I personally dread it every year. It’s the one month of winter where we’ve all had enough of dark mornings, early nights, snow, rain, hail and not enough sunshine. Christmas seems a distant memory, March and spring […]
