Happy New Year and a Resolution that might just be achievable this year!

I realise I am late in both the well wishes and also in setting a resolution but I do have a reason and it is a very familiar one. Every year I reflect and decide on what I want to focus on in the coming year and every year I end up with a long list that never gets completed.

And why? Because like other busy people, I have goals for many areas of my life and I sprinkle my energy over them much as I do when I turn the water sprinkler on in the garden; point, aim and hope for the best.

The Essence of Nostalgia

In my last blog I spoke about what mindfulness means to me and the many different ways we can all find in our day to day lives to experience the moment.

 Minding how you are Mindful.

If you are anything like me the very word ‘mindfulness’ might bring you out in a nervous rash and cause your eye to twitch. My fear of not doing something ‘properly’ caused me to shamefully at times dismiss the practice by saying, ‘A daily mindfulness practise? Who on earth has the time?!’

The time of loving and giving is upon us again!

The Stick Shop

One bright sunny morning, a confident and beautiful woman named Sue was walking down her local high street. As she turned a corner, she noticed a woman coming out of a new shop. The women paused and looked each other up and down as women do, comparing hair, clothes, shape and general air of confidence. Sue decided they were evenly matched except for one thing. Their sticks. Sue’s was short, shabby and gnarled with overuse whereas this woman was carrying a magnificent stick. Long, firm and, more importantly seemed to match exactly the woman’s image and demeanour.

It’s September, already! And if you are one of the millions of people bemoaning the fact that summer is over and so is all the holiday fun, consider the advice offered yesterday on the Chris Evans Breakfast Show. According to research, September, is actually much more a beginning of a new year, complete with making resolutions, than January and I think he makes a very good point.

Receiving loud and clear!

‘Tell you what, Love, don’t say anything to anyone else like, but I’ve just taken those 2 trees ‘round back of neighbour for £160 so if you like I’ll sort yours for £140.’

Oh how innocent this sounds and what huge job was this kind man offering to do at such a lovely discount? Rid me of the stump of a large palm tree bush that has been blighting my front lawn and I had so far spent two weekends hacking back.

‘I’m sorry but if you don’t communicate with me, how on earth am I supposed to just turn up and produce choreography for different parts of the play, with different groups of people without having seen them or the staging first?! I’m sick of feeling like a disappointment to you and am going home!’
