  • The Most Moisturised Shoulders in England

    Well, I have paid the price today for my insistence on being out of doors yesterday – I cannot leave the house in daylight due to seriously sunburnt shoulders! It’s lucky I work from home as I also can’t bear to have anything on them so I’m half-undressed and I’ve used half a bottle of…

  • Don’t Forget Your Sunscreen

    There are some days when nothing you do goes right. There are some days when you can’t be bothered to do anything. There are some days when you know there is no point working from the rubbish place you’re in. There are some days when the only sensible thing to do is sit in the…

  • Stop Putting Yourself Down in Front of Me

    I put a little note in an e-mail to a friend the other day “Stop putting yourself down in front of me” – I was semi-kidding, as I’m quite self-deprecating myself, but there was also a serious element to it. Can you imagine if someone followed you round all day, telling you how much you…

  • Waking Up From the Dream

    I was reading a blog post from break the illusion last week about the idea that life is but a dream that we wake up from when we ‘die’. I like to think that when I wake up from this dream, I’ll be really laughing at how seriously I took myself sometimes…and when I think…

  • If You Chase, It Will Run

    What are you chasing after in your life? Money? Success? Boys? Girls? Happiness? When you chase after anything, it runs away. Let’s take happiness as an example here – you don’t have to ‘find’ happiness or chase it. You can be it, right now. No matter what’s going on around you, you can be happy…

  • Chanting On Top of a Mountain

    This week I was sent a link to a video on YouTube of a ‘Miracle Mantra’, and just out of curiosity I went and had a look. To be honest, I didn’t expect to stick around long, I’ve never been into chanting unless I’m at a football game and it’s about how brilliant my team…

  • How Do You Choose to Spend Your Time?

    Tell me this, if I asked you what’s ‘wrong’ in your life, how long could you talk for on this subject? And if I asked you what’s good about your life, how long could you talk for? And which do you choose to talk about more? I have spent a lot of time (for me)…

  • I’m An Euthor!

    So after a week of heckling everyone I know to tell them that my ebook is now up and running, I’m finally catching up with all the ‘congratulations’ e-mails. One came this morning to say “Well done! How fabulous to be an author!”…only I don’t really feel like an author. My ebook is a digital…

  • Seriously Grateful

    This weekend I finished reading “A Thousand Splendid Suns” by Khaled Hosseini. It’s a tale of two women in Afghanistan, and like his first novel “The Kite Runner”, it’s a compelling story that will get its claws into your heart. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I noticed that when I closed the book after reading…
