The Hardest Question…
I am listening to a book written by Simon Squibb, ‘What’s Your Dream?’ and from what I’ve heard so far, it’s good. I’d recommend it. But in the opening chapters, it poses a question which I have been thinking of and writing about for a while now. Namely, what is…

The Limits We Place On Ourselves
“The limit is not the sky. The limit is your mind.” Wim Hof I have been suffering on and off with writer’s block for the final book in my trilogy. I have written just over half of it, and I keep coming to a juddering stop, with a blank mind…

Overcoming Fears
This is me at 17. It was taken on New Year’s Eve, at a party I had attended with my then boyfriend and my close school friend, amongst others. That 17 year old had already, unknowingly, amassed a tonne of limiting beliefs and was going to get a tonne more…

The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe
Without a shadow of a doubt, my favourite book as a child was The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe. Yes, I loved the Heidi Chronicles but I barely remember what they are about. I also loved lots of other books at the time but, again, my memory of them…

Life Pre-Internet
Yes, I do remember life before the internet. Very clearly, because I was an adult when it emerged into society at large. Has the internet changed our lives? No, not really. Except when it comes to children…and the adults of tomorrow. I am a born researcher. There’s nothing I love…

Me and Religion
I do not, and never have, practiced any kind of religion. That does not, though, mean I have no faith. I have always, even in childhood, described myself as spiritual and not religious. I have always had a sense that there is ‘something’ greater than us, I have just never…

Personal Belongings I Hold Dear
It’s so interesting that this is a title for today, because it’s a thought process I have been having over the past couple of days prompted by the fact that I am starting to realise in my home, we have too much ‘stuff’. I have, in my dining room, a…
