I raced back from running round and round the track to my Spanish lesson; arriving glowing and un-showered… The joys of Skype that allow for us to be together with another in a way I wouldn’t be if I were in her classroom! And then I was on fire in my lesson… ‘I don’t recognise…

No more alerts, banners, newsfeeds, apps…No more automatic updates…Not on TV, my phone, the radio. Nothing. I’ve also deleted my Twitter account and eliminated Facebook scrolling. But we’re in the information age, you say. We can know anything in an instant, at our fingertips! “Don’t you want to know what’s going on in the world?”…

Holiday plan disruption This year I haven’t had a proper holiday so I was hoping to have at least a break for my birthday at the beginning of October before the weather starts being too winterish. I was longing to have a change of scenery by flying with my partner to Brittany in northern France with…

Today is my best friend’s birthday. Happy Birthday, Jo! And I want to talk about the power of friendship. Jo and I have known each other almost all our lives. We attended the same schools and college, and we even worked together in a couple of jobs as we explored career options. More recently we…

The ground is moving under my feet and I feel as if I am still on a boat, even if I know that I am standing on firm ground. I feel spaced out and tired because of the recent travelling and, even if I can’t say it is because of the jet leg, Italy is…

We are in Autumn at present and I have been noticing myself going into this autumnal withdrawing feminine energy more and more lately. Recently several thoughts came to the forefront of my awareness that kept me pondering about life and life cycles. First of all one of the symbolic traits of Autumn are falling leaves…
