I love lists. I have lists of lists (aka the index of my journal). Lists we don’t use I have lists for everything, many done at the start of a new year with all my good intentions in full force. You know the lists I mean, the ones like.. Healthy...
The last month has been frenetic. On 12 May, Festability happened. I was one of the three organisers and a whole new world of festival language and planning took over my life. On 14 May, we launched our “Impact on parent carers health” report. On 18 May, I was the...
I am always looking at new ways to get motivated or if I am being frank, to get off my butt and do something rather than thinking about/talking about/writing about what my future self will be. I found a new tactic a few weeks ago. What would your future self...
Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book in order to review it, however, the review is my honest opinion. Tigeropolis – Caught in the Trap R D Dikstra has produced a series of novels about a family of vegetarian Tigers living in the foothills of the Himalayas and...
Making Happy Work by Mick Timpson landed on my doorstep at probably the most appropriate time. This year has started very differently to most. I hadn’t set goals, I hadn’t done a review of last year and to be honest, I have been totally overwhelmed by my “to do list”....
Being born blind isn’t as bad as some people think because when you are born blind, you don’t know any different, it’s just part of me. It’s different for those who are born sighted and lose their sight later in life as it takes lots of adjustments for them to get used to it. They have to learn to do everything in the dark and that takes courage and determination.
Like many women, I have spent most of my adult life on some kind of diet. If you can name a diet, I have probably tried it. However, the one belief I have always held is that if chocolate did not exist, I would have no weight problem. My love...
I’ve talked before about working in travel and what goes wrong when you don’t check the details carefully. If you haven’t read my post about being lost in Corsica (and you fancy a giggle), then head over. However, let me take you back to my days of repping. As I have...
The first thing I had to clean today was my blog. It’s been months since I last wrote on here and the number of updates was frightening. However, I have committed to writing a post every day in November as a way of kicking my butt back into action. Thanks...
I am always looking for ways to make me feel better. Or more accurately, ways to make me feel better which do not involve large quantities of chocolate. I am a real comfort eater. Make me sad, I eat. Make me happy, I eat. I have discovered that really attacking...
We are all guilty of it. Taking things personally. We read something on social media and think it’s aimed at us or when the comment is aimed at us, we worry that everyone else feels the same as that person. A few years ago, I read a book called “The...
Visualising Success – really? Now before you think “Oh Debs is being a dippy hippy now and that is not my thing”, don’t move on. I promise you that visualising your success can really help. When I first heard about Vision Boards (aka Dream boards), I thought “oh that’s nice...
Have you ever thought seriously about what motivates you – or not? You know you need to do something, this thing has to be done but for some reason you just cannot seem to get motivated? Whether it’s writing an email, making a phone call, starting a fitness routine or...
