  • Rah Rah Rah!

    Ever been of the opinion that enthusiastic people are quite irritating? You know, the sort who are always up and peppy – the jumpiest jumping bean of them all! I have made a startling and quite entertaining discovery over the past few years – it’s not so irritating when it is you that is the…

  • More Fun to Life

    Do you ever wake up in the morning and think “There must be more to life than this”? Back in the 90’s, I woke up almost every day with that thought. I wondered if this was ‘it’, if this was how life was going to work out – a seemingly endless slog of get up,…

  • It’s My Favourite!

    Do you remember when you were a kid and everything was your favourite? Mr Whippy ice cream? My favourite! Chips? My favourite! Lego? My favourite! Adam and the Ants? My favourite! The funny thing about this is that when you have everything as your favourite, it gives you a surge of enthusiasm for your life.…

  • Bounce, Bounce

    I knew I had forgotten something yesterday! This newsletter totally slipped my mind. I was far more interested in the leaking pipe that’s wrecked my office carpet, and how to prevent any more damage being done. I was also a little pre-occupied by my fat percentage. I was at a HR conference yesterday, and they…

  • What’s Your Life About?

    If you had to say what the ‘theme’ for your life was, what would it be? For too many of us, it is ‘misery’, ‘working hard’, ‘getting through the day’ – and largely because we don’t pay attention to what we WANT our life to be about and take steps to make that happen. So…

  • Paddle Your Own Canoe. Your Way

    I was just reading a newsletter from Chris Guillibeau of The Art of Non Conformity, and he got me thinking. He was talking about going against conventional wisdom. For example, Henry Ford said “If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said “faster horses.”” Yet ‘conventional wisdom’ says ask your customers what…

  • Some Ideas for you to Try

    A bit of Tuesday fun! Be A Kid Again 1. Do a cartwheel. 2. Sing into your hairbrush. 3. Walk barefoot in wet grass. 4. Play a song you like really loud, over and over. 5. Dot all your “i”’s with smiley faces. 6. Read the funnies. Throw the rest of the paper away. 7.…

  • A Bit of Monday Fun: Random Thoughts

    I saw this over the weekend and it made me laugh a lot so thought I’d share it with you: Today’s Random Thoughts (not mine, but funny just the same!) 1. I think part of a best friend’s job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die. 2. Nothing sucks more than…

  • Working for the Dark Side

    Do you work on the side of light or on the side of Dark? The light side looks for what’s good, what’s working, what’s enjoyable, what’s fun, what’s right with life. The Dark side does the opposite – it looks for what’s bad, what’s broken, what’s terrible, what’s upsetting, what’s wrong with life. The news…

  • Ooh, That Was Fun!

    Yesterday I happened to be stuck in traffic on the M6. I was hot, I was hungry and I was moving at about 3 miles an hour. Plenty of reason to be peeved, eh? But then I looked across at a very angry chap in the outside lane who practically had steam coming out of…
