I’ve never really paid much attention to global warming, pretty much assuming that I have enough to worry about adding a vague sort of dread that I’m contributing to the destruction of the world every time I drive my car. That said, I’d have to live in a cave not to know that things are […]
Down With Stereotypes!
One of the things that really bothers me when I’m reading is the constant need to validate a persons position based on stereotyping. I was reading a piece about Feminist Housewives on Jezebel, and some women declaring that she made the decision to be a stay at home mother and backed it up with stereotypes […]
The Trouble With Movie Reviews
Never read reviews of a movie before you go and see it. I know this. I live by this rule. I’m way too easily influenced by others opinions, particularly when it comes to movies. Then I make rash decisions based on those opinions. Like the time I blew off a chance to see Long Kiss Goodnight […]
Suddenly Self Employed
About a month ago now I quit my day job. I did it for a number of reasons, most particularly I was staring down the barrel of being made responsible for everything that happens in a business that wasn’t mine and being completely unappreciated whilst I did it. I’d been unhappy for quite a long […]
How I Became A Blogger
I first registered this website, oh, four years ago now. I’d just watched the DVD “The Secret” and had an ephiphany! I could really have what I wanted if I could just focus my thoughts. It was such a … mind altering moment for me. Finally a recipe for a way that I could live […]
A New Year
I love the new year. It’s a time of renewal. A time for reassessing and deciding where you want to go. A time to reflect on what it is that I want. Luckily for me I’m really clear about where I want to be and it doesn’t change much. I want to work for home in […]
Moving House
I’ve been getting ready to move over the last few weeks, cleaning and packing our house. It’s been further compounded by the fact that the yard was in such a mess that had to be finished off prior to us moving. Its been busy, busy, busy with all free time spent in the garden. We’re […]
Checking In
I’ve been sitting here staring at a blank screen for quite a while now. I just can’t seem to get writing. So I’ve been reading instead and the message I’ve got from that reading is just write. Write whatever comes up but get on with it. I’m overwhelmed. I feel like I’m drowning in tasks […]
I’m Stalled
I seem to be stalled. Things have been really busy at work which has dominated my thinking for a while. And then the whole house thing has really sort of come up (we might be moving, then we may not, it’s all very confused) so I’ve really been just drifting along. That said though, I’m […]
What’s The Point Of Visualising?
Theres a lyric in one of my favourite Pink songs (I’m a big Pink fan, did you know) – that goes: L.A. told me, you’ll be a pop star. All you have to change, is everything you are … I always thought of that as kinda … judgemental I suppose. Well, actually I think that’s […]
