She has always been there, hidden and forgotten, both a presence and an absence to…
Energy Awareness
Recently I have been reminded to be consciously aware of the energy around me, to check the global energies more than ever before. Energy can have an adverse impact on each of us particularly if we are sensitive. This summer I have often woken up after a decent night’s sleep to sunshine and birds singing…
7 Powerful Links Between Leadership and the 2016 Olympian
I have found the 2016 Olympics to be so inspirational on so many levels. As I watched and listened to the self critical analysis by world class athletes during their post race interviews, and analysis by Olympian pundits, I began to reflect on the many character traits that appear to be innate in many world class athletes.

When it comes to autism, don’t believe all you’re told… Your child has autism. Now what? As parents,we find ourselves in a unique, select group, the “Autism Club.” No one asks to become a member, but because of our kids, we were forced to be in the A-Club. Autism isn’t just a medical crisis; it…
The Nerves
It came to me to draw the nerves. It happened when I was in pain and drew, of course, without knowing what I was doing. I did not draw the pain as before. When I finished I thought that it looked like nerve cells that were trying desperately to connect and it did not work….

These changes are creating a sense of unease…

Are You Still Living in Reactionary Hell?
I rarely watch TV but recently I have caught a couple of fly on the wall type programmes following people just as they are. One of these was “Destroyed in Minutes” where there was footage of an elderly lady who had returned to the Driving Centre for a retest. Instead of hitting the brake she…
