  • Champagne Moments

    Over the last few days, I have been watching/listening to the cricket test match between England and India (and getting very excited about going to the test match in Birmingham next week!).

  • Wallowing in Happiness

    One of the things that ‘happy people’ have in common is that they wallow in happiness. They look forward to things (not just big things), they enjoy the memories of things (not just big things), they are grateful for good times they’ve had, they appreciate good things as they happen and make a big deal…

  • Your Creative Joy

    As you will know if you follow this blog closely (and if you do, I thank you!), on a Wednesday I answer a journal prompt from Jamie Ridler of Jamie Ridler Studios. I also listen to Jamie’s weekly podcast on creative living. Jamie is my favourite resource for awakening creativity, and since I came across…

  • What Do I Wish for My Home?

    Wishcasting Wednesday is here again. What do I wish for my home?

But then I read a few other wishcaster’s wishes and…
