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…

Having It All?
I think as a woman, this sentence has been enough to send cold shivers through me. The sense that you can ‘have it all’, though ‘having it all’ is never defined, and sometimes really feeling the societal pressure to try because otherwise, you’re a failure. So, what does ‘having it…

Baby, It’s Cold Outside

My Legacy
This is another one of those prompts – what legacy do you want to leave behind – that immediately triggers a response of ‘who, me?’ in my mind when I read it. I have literally moved on past this title for that very reason. But because of that reason, I…

Sacrifices I Have Made
This is an interesting title. Originally, the prompt was ‘What Sacrifices Have You Made?’ with it being open-ended I guess as to how you apply it. And it made me think…does anyone truly make sacrifices? Very often the word sacrifice is used in a ‘look at what I gave up…

Work/Life Balance
This is such a timely prompt. I have just been sitting in my garden listening to the birds sing as I drank my first cup of coffee, and thought…shouldn’t I be working? Since the first lockdown in 2020, I have worked predominantly from home. For the three years up until…

I Am A Leader
I am, innately, a leader. It is an intrinsic part of my personality, and one I cannot escape. And yet, when I first saw this writing prompt, I paused. I paused because I know I am a leader but I felt that in saying so, I was somehow being boastful.…

How Someone Positively Impacted My Life
I’ve had quite a few people have a positive impact on my life, luckily. I’ve had some truly great bosses who have encouraged me, believed in me, and some of whom I have become good friends with. There are and have been some amazing people in my life who have…
