A long and winding road….

A long and winding road….

To borrow from the Beatles hit I've got to admit it's getting better  A little better all the time  I have to admit it's getting better .... (Lyrics) and yes, the title of this post is from another Beatles song.... For me, a long and winding road is the road back to full health. There have been fascinating detours, odd stop overs and I've been at my bloodhound-best as far as Continue reading

Living The Carpenter’s Law

Living The Carpenter’s Law

Some of you may be aware that at the beginning of 2013 I turned myself into a social media consultant and I was rather busy. I found that life had given me the skills and I find great satisfaction as I assist others – mainly women - in making their dreams come to life. Particularly in walking beside the dreamer as they take their idea from concept to launching their business. Late in the year Continue reading

Remembering my mother.

Remembering my mother.

I'd flown in for her second last Christmas. Mum had told her friends she wanted Christmas Day just with me and they had helped her arrange things so it could be that way. I was deeply moved. I arrived prepared for a long hot day but the weather played its tricks and it was to be a cold gusty wet day. Regardless, it was a special day. Today for Mothers Day I am Remembering my mother. I flew Continue reading

Week 7: The greatest Love

Ok so it's Valentines Day or is it Valentine's Day?  I don't eat chocolate - 99% of the time and roses die in the heat. However I was thinking about love,  this morning - sitting outside a supermarket, waiting for it to open - and about how important love is. And where that starts. We need to be loved as babies. Neglected babies don't do well. Babies seperated from their source of love, by Continue reading

Week 6

Week 6

The last 7 days have made for an interesting WEEK 6 of 2014. As Week 4 turned into week 5 I found I was mentally tired and needed a break. I had not managed my planned Christmas break.
