  • Of Claustrophobic fidgets

    Hi guys! How are you all doing? I hope all is well. Apologies for being absent for a wee while – I had a week off last week, and now I have a ‘tingling’ sensation in my body which makes it quite uncomfortable to type! Yuk. Just waiting for an MRI scan to figure out…

  • If You Could See Me Now – Recommendation

    If you’ve been following this blog for a while, you will know that I haven’t done a book recommendation for ages – largely because I normally only reccommend personal development books and I haven’t read anything ‘AMAZING’ for a while (lots of good stuff, but nothing astounding I just had to share). But I must…

  • To Do: Something Fun

    Take a look at your ‘to-do’ list – does it have anything fun on it? Does it have ‘sing at the top of your lungs’ or ‘phone my best friend’ or ‘spin until I’m dizzy’ or ‘dance like a loon’ or ‘laugh til your sides hurt’? No? Didn’t think so. To-do lists are great –…

  • What Are You Leaving Behind?

    Think about the last 24 hours of your life – where have you been? What did you leave behind? For example, I visited my yoga teacher and left behind a bag of damsons (which was a good thing!). I met friends in the pub and left laughter (because I was so tired I thought someone’s…

  • Hoist Your Sails and Catch the Wind!

    From the universe yesterday: You don’t take “baby steps” for the distance they cover, Donna, but to put yourself within reach of life’s magic. Just like you don’t hoist your sails to move the boat, but to put yourself within reach of the wind. Hoist, baby, hoist, baby, 1, 2, 3, 4 – The Universe…

  • Is Pushing Yourself Good?

    So this week I’ve been a little lacking in enthusiasm for the idea of doing work-type things. Talking to clients is no problem, clearing e-mails goes ok, then I get to the marketing/admin/taxes bit and I’m looking for distractions – twitter, facebook, damson picking, dog-walking, tidying up, even going for a beer with my dad…

  • Honest as the Day is Long

    I was talking to a friend today about honesty, and some people’s inability to be honest! Then I noticed that my affirmation for the day was “I communicate clearly and honestly. People can trust that what I say is true.” Nothing like a bit of reinforcement to entertain a person. The thing with dishonesty is…

  • Practically Perfect In Every Way

    As usual, the Bank Holiday brought with it rubbish TV. My favourite by far was one of these dreadful and pointless 100 greatest lists. It was the 100 greatest family films of all time. And I realised that this is my favourite genre by far! I watched most of the top 40 with a cheesy…
