  • OnTheBeach – 6 Years Old Again

    – 6 years old again – So after my speech about letting out the inner child on Tuesday, a couple of people were wondering…well, how? I make it look so easy (but yes, I did feel like an idiot), but when you’re used to acting like a grown up, how do you start being a…

  • The Role of Love

    To clarify, Donna, the primary roles of LOVE are not to heal, fix, or mend. Not to soothe, cure, or ease. Not even to refresh, rejuvenate, or restore. Hardly. The primary roles of LOVE, Donna, are to “Yahoo!” “Yeehaa!” and “Whoohooo!” Get your love on, The Universe You were born to love, Donna, no matter…

  • OnTheBeach – Your True State of Being

    – A note from Donna – Oh, I was so enjoying that weather, I went out and bought a WICKED sun lounger (white and floral – it’s so cheery!) and it’s rained ever since. Aaaah, c’est la vie! But you know, whatever the weather is doing – get out and enjoy the outdoors. I was…

    A note from Donna – Oh Sunshiiiiiiiiine! In the UK we have such lovely weather at the moment – it is utterly delightful – blue skies, sunshine. Gorgeous. The papers have been full of stories about how much happier we are when the sun is shining. I have been loving it this week – and…

  • Honouring Your Energy

    I had a very funny conversation with my mom this afternoon – I was saying that I was tired even before the weekend began…and I have a busy weeekend coming up! I expressed a bit of surprise that I was so tired, and she said ‘don’t forget, Tuesday was a tough day – you need…

  • May 2008 Book Recommendation – In Praise of Slow

    In Praise of Slow by Carl Honore. Life is such a fast paced ride these days – we have fast food, fast cars, fast internet connection (sometimes!) and there is never enough time to do everything you want to. The hectic pace of life ruins our enjoyment of so many things – food, leisure time,…

  • Hung Over

    Well, it was the funeral of a family friend yesterday (yes, another funeral – that’s 4 in about 10 months! I feel like rent-a-mourner.) And today I am Hung Over. Not in the traditional sense of a beer hangover – I don’t drink much and managed to make each half of lager last an hour!)…

  • A Few Last Minute Hiccups

    Well, I was hugely optimistic when I announced to the breathlessly waiting world that my ebook is finished! All I had to do was create the pdf, set up the download pages, and record a couple of little audio files. Easy! Yesterday I found out that a close family friend had passed away. Expected, but…
