When we look at this question, I would imagine that we think we know a lot about the subject. After some consideration, however, I believe we would find out that we know less than what we think we do. This is because have been sold a myth by the cinema and television industries about love,…

I was just out grazing my goats- which I do on an almost daily basis. This gives them some free-range time. I notice during the summer they are very inclined to hang out in an area, or tend toward the shady areas as soon as they have eaten enough to be moderately full. I say…

hhmmm….I just got posed one of those really thought provoking questions. One of those questions that is simple and straight-forward, but I don’t know if I’ve ever really asked/answered it before. interesting and thought provoking: IS there a clear cut definition for a healthy relationship? Essentially- what does, or should a healthy relationship look like?…

In an age when people discuss the real meaning of truth and authenticity, it is often very difficult to establish what the truth is. We live in a time when it seems that money can buy you what you want, including the ability to dupe the people you are trying to convince to use your…

I am inspired to write about something that is always in the back of my mind, especially since I became a mother.

Who am I? This question is beginning to nag at me lately. I am Catherine Green. I am a mother, a wife, a daughter, a friend, and an author.

Little girls were not supposed to get angry, and little boys were not supposed to…

Becoming a mother has been a massive learning curve for me. I know that sounds cliché, but it is the absolute truth. It wasn’t so long ago that I used to commute to work full time and everything revolved around me and my then fiancé (now husband). We agreed that we wanted to have children,…

Unless you’re clear on what empowerment means how will you know whether or not you’ve achieved it? By empowering your approach to life you’ll develop your power to manifest the outcomes you want rather than manifesting what you don’t want. Empowerment is primarily a change of mindset – a new perspective on yourself and on the…

I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become. This is one of my favourite sayings, because we have all experienced pain, grief, suffering and struggles at some stage in our formative years. Very often, the challenges that were presented to us were a direct reflection of the pain and…

You might have a little understanding of where my mind is at the moment, as I am totally immersed in motherhood, and I find that it naturally connects with the traditional idea of being a housewife. This is where I begin to squirm. I do not like calling myself a housewife, and I always used…

I was chatting to someone the other day and the conversation brought to mind a long forgotten incident. It happened about 10 years ago, before I became self-employed. I have been a contractor a lot of my working life – I enjoyed the variety and also the knowledge that if I didn’t like a job,…
