  • OnTheBeach: Wake Up It’s a Beautiful Morning

    What do you wake up to? Do you wake up to the news telling you that it’s a depressing day in a depressing world? Do you wake up to some irritating idiot who thinks he’s funny? Do you wake up to a jarring beep-beep-beep-beep? Or do you wake up to something that fills you with…

  • Video: Fill Your Life With Joy

    Watch the video < href="http://youtu.be/-G-MpPNTDZg">here. Your assignment this week is to fill your ‘spare’ hours with things that bring you joy – for me, there’s gigs, books, strictly come dancing, nature, my dog, friends, painted nails, bracelets, yoga, nice stationery, music, bubble baths, dancing. The more joy you can invite into your life, the more…

  • Stand Out Moments of 2008

    What were your Stand Out Moments of 2008? What is the event that sticks out in your mind? What film got your attention this year? What song have you not been able to get out of your head this year? My stand out moment has to be at the V festival. Standing ankle deep in…

  • A Marvelous Way to Waste Some Time!

    Now you might think that with the website launch looming, I’d be frantically working on making sure everything is perfect and spending every spare moment thinking about it. Of course, you would be entirely wrong! Partly because my bizniz partner and I are meeting on Friday to go through the admin, so I’ll have the…
