Collected musings

A poem: They shuffled two by two into the crowded ark. Heads down. Hands held. I turned and ran alone into the wilderness. On sobriety: It’s currently absolute as I can’t moderate if my life depended on it. Enjoying myself better without it but if I get to the point I can take it or… Continue reading Collected musings

Try me out

Try me out, please baby try me out. Just take a chance because I wanna be yours.  Wanna love you.  So go the eloquent mid-90’s song lyrics which are extremely catchy and relevant. These are some things I’m currently trying out and taking a chance on…. Square eyes: What to do when you’ve seemingly watched all… Continue reading Try me out

Core Desired Feelings

Core desired feelings are the way you want to feel daily. They’re not destination driven like some goals but are based on the way you want to feel most often. Not just when you’ve achieved these goals but when you’re on the way to achieving them and all the times in between. Danielle LaPorte says,… Continue reading Core Desired Feelings

Nice for what?

A not so catchy acronym for: Move-Meditate-Write-Gratitude-Fun. I did these things on the daily and loved every minute of it and I’d do it again I tells… Continue reading I do it in on the daily

Get out of the house

I love being at home. Perhaps sometimes I love it too much. I’ll get invited somewhere and I’ll think “but…couch!” While it’s very safe in my cocoon, it is easy to get stuck in whatever mood I’m in. This is all good if it’s an upbeat one which sees me giggling to myself, bouncing on… Continue reading Get out of the house

Let’s get physical!

“Stay in your head you’re dead” my mate Tony Robbins says. I am realising more and more the importance of movement and the impact it has on the mind and spirit as well as the body. I used to think cross country running was hell (it kind of was being forced to run up a… Continue reading Let’s get physical!
