Today I’d like to talk to you about my favourite verb – be. It is Thursday evening and I’m feeling fried. I work too much. And I can’t understand people who say they work 70 hours a week. I don’t know how this is possible. Whatever happened to legalising the 4 day weekend? What happened …

the freedom inside
Today’s the day! The day is here – the day I change for good! Have you ever woken up to these thoughts? Or gone to sleep wishing that you’d wake up an overnight success story? No, me neither. Awkward. Okay, let me sing you a different tune… The only ones for me are the mad …

There are some people who may argue that there are better things in life than roast pumpkin, but I am not one of them. My list of number ones is long, but Pumpkin my dear, you deserve your place amongst the best. There are also some people who say, “I was so busy, I forgot …

Sick Day for the Soul
Today is a beautiful day. Beautiful, not for the traditional reasons (see above), but because I am home alone and sick. Who doesn’t love sick days? I am so grateful to be sick today. As kids, we knew what was good, right? We were so wise, we knew the meaning of ‘fake it till you …

What a year! We have survived the apocalypse and come out on the other side. World politics and global finance is still on the boil but hasn’t yet bubbled over. And we are hoping that the world is becoming a better place for you and for me. But before 2012 fades to dusk and a new …
The power of ritual
Routine can sometimes feel like a dirty word. Routine is something you long to escape, like your Monday day to Friday office job or your favourite cereal you can’t help buying. When our lives are devoid of spontaneity and midnight adventures, routine is the scapegoat. Routine seems to be something that just ends up happening in …
Jumping in
Sometimes we need to do scary things just to prove to ourselves that we can. At the tail end of my teenage rebellion (when I was actually an adult), I used to jump off things just to prove that GIRLS CAN and I think I gave people the impression that I enjoyed it. Let me …
My Guru-Goddesses
Authors need blogs. I learnt this today from a blog. And so here I am, attempting to find out, “Is there a blog in me?” For the past four years I have avoided blogs, fearing that they’d inspire that same sense of inadequacy that great books do… and TV specials about the lives of celebrities …
