  • Stop Pretending to Be Superwoman

    Stop Pretending to Be Superwoman

    WARNING! This article contains swearing…if you don’t like bad language, please read no further! Last week, I posted about the gap between fantasy and reality, and shared some of the problems I’ve had since I’ve been here in Tenerife. There are those who think I should not share this stuff, either from some odd belief…

  • Dare to Risk Greatness

    Today I read this e-mail from Neale Donald Walsch, and I just had to share it with you: On this day of your life, Donna, I believe God wants you to know… …that perfection is not required of you — only perfect_effort. Not to even try because you don’t think you can would be terribly…

  • What’s Wrong With Me

  • Are We Put on Earth To Be Perfect?

    To reward myself for (finally) completing my tax return, I went to the pictures yesterday to see Surrogates with Bruce Willis. The gist is that the world use surrogates that they control with their mind, so they never have to go anywhere…and they can be perfect in every way. The sad thing is that if…

  • 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…
