This morning I had an epiphany. I have not gained, or lost, weight for over four years. Getting dressed I slipped on a pair of pants that I bought and wore regularly before I left my last job to go into business for myself, three years ago now. They fit exactly as they did the day […]
The Walk of No Shame
I admit it, I’ve called that walk home in the bright light of morning following a night of fun the “Walk of Shame” many, many times. But, really, where’s the shame? Exploring your sexuality, and choosing to share that experience with another person in a consensual interlude, even if only once, is not shameful. It’s […]
On The Usefulness Of Strategic Planning
I’ve been wanting my own business for a long time now. Years in fact. This is an image of a vision board I made probably 2006 or 2007. Everything on this vision board I’m pretty much doing right now. Following my heart, looking at the market, doing a business newsletter, networking and trying to get […]
The Power of Synchronicity
It’s amazing how something you hear, or read, can have a profound impact on your life. It’s as if you’re searching for an idea which suddenly gets delivered. It’s amazing feeling, resonating with something strongly. Even more amazing is how often it happens, which is quite a lot. It even has it’s own term in […]
Touching Base
So … long time. How you been? I’ve been fairly busy. I work for myself you see. I’m building a business. I’m also building a blog, which is intended as my main form of marketing and communication. I’m using a “Content Marketing” strategy. It is working, slowly but surely. Persistence and expansion is key at […]
My Week In Content
I’ve had a challenge this week, from a good friend of mine, to find a piece of information and share it. She’s not talking about sharing a funny cat video or any of the other random information that generally makes its way through my streams. This challenge is about finding a meaningful piece of information that […]
Are You Too Much Of A Rebel To Fulfil Your Dreams?
I write a lot about dreams and goals and taking action because, well, it’s something that I strongly believe in. Life can be pretty grinding and seem so unchanging. Clinging to dreams and better yet trying to fulfil those dreams by setting goals can make the difference between moving forward, however slowly, and spiralling into […]
A New Year: A Not So New Me
After so many years launching a diet on New Years Day is just habit for me now. And I got to say, this year is no different. There’s just something about the potential of a new year that makes me want to start as I mean to go on and take that shot to finally […]
HEAS Is A Lifestyle Change, Not A Diet
It’s taken me all this time, the better part of three or four years, since I read the book Health At Every Size by Linda Bacon to come to the conclusion that this is a lifestyle change. Duh! Is my lifestyle changing? Well I had the better part of a bag of crisps with dip […]
The Value Of Exercise Or Don’t Take A Major Trip Without Getting Fit
Day 155: A Bit Of An Update (part 2) Part of the reason I wanted to get into HAES was to get fit for the big trip. Turns out I was so caught up in dealing with my post diet traumas that I treated myself with kid gloves rather than actually buckling under and getting […]
