Over the weekend, a friend gifted me some cooking apples and golden beetroot from her allotment.  I spent this morning peeling, dicing and cooking the apples, turning them into gluten free vegan apple crumble cakes. Some of the apples had evidence of insect invasion, others had leaves still  ...

On Friday, I was on the pier when a mum and her son came walking through. The shop I work from is next to an amusement arcade, packed full of two-penny games and mechanical grab machines. The boy wanted to play the grab machines where 20p gives the opportunity to win a Ghostbuster’s soft  ...

During this month, I’ve played an abundance game with the ladies at the Inner Goddess Circle. You start off on day one with virtual £100 (or whatever your currency – USD, AUD, CAD, EUR etc) to spend.  This amount doubles every day for a set amount of time (we did it for 21-days).  ...

When I was a girl, my grandmother and I would walk through churchyards and talk about the people beneath the stones.

There are tides and currents influencing  ...

After writing yesterday about how I have been avoiding writing and blogging here, I had planned not to write today.  Tuesdays, I have readings in the afternoon and today I was giving a talk on Emotional Freedom Technique.  I didn’t see how I could have time to write. About half an hour  ...

My blog, my little virtual home on the internet, is neglected. I was going to neglect it further by ignoring it another day.  It’s become a habit. I am busy all day coping (just) with a million-and-one things that demand my attention and generally zap my energy.  By the time evening comes  ...

“Always say ‘yes’ to the present moment… Surrender to what is. Say ‘yes’ to life – and see how life starts suddenly to start working for you rather than against you.” – Eckhart Tolle June has been a funny, old month. I was at an MBS fayre at  ...
