Gently Does It
Another hectic weekend, but also a productive one. I now have another 5 black sacks and 2 large boxes ready to go to a charity shop. I'm finding this whole downsizing thing hard, bloody hard and I havent even started on the loft *gulps* I've figured out that I need to go through an area… Continue reading Gently Does It
Manifesting
I'm signed up to receive e-mails from the BBC website, giving me links to articles I might find of interest. Yesterday one of their links sent me to a video entitled "How Manifesting Became the New Big Wellness Trend" I did the whole ask the universe and Law of Attraction thing a few years ago… Continue reading Manifesting
Challenges, Not Resolutions
I gave up writing New Year resolutions a couple of years ago. I realised that if I don't keep them I end up feeling bad about it...whats the point? So last year I set "goals" and this year its "challenges". Yeah, I know, its just a play on words, and I can just as easily… Continue reading Challenges, Not Resolutions
An Uncertain Future
I spent most of yesterday tidying and decluttering. We have an estate agent coming on Thursday to give us a valuation on the house. We were going to wait until the last bits of work were done on the outside, but, with recent events we have decided to take action now and move into rented… Continue reading An Uncertain Future

So yesterday I dug out one of my cross stitch kits (I've got a few, but most are in storage). After all, I could do with developing my creativity, and my… Continue reading Cross Stitch
Doing Nothing…
Ok, well, not actually doing nothing...I watched a TED Talk. I used to watch loads until I discovered Podcasts, so it was nice to watch one again...its been a while. Stumbled across this gem by Andy Puddicombe (who I subsequently find out is the co-creator of Headspace - thanks Google) which is well worth the… Continue reading Doing Nothing…
Aromas
Today has been all about smells lol. I've always had an interest in Aromatherapy. At one stage, a few years ago, I even considered training as an Aromatherapist and working from home (the house we lived in at the time had a detached garage which would have been easy to convert into a therapy room).… Continue reading Aromas
The Mozart Effect
I want to like classical music, I really do...but I don't know where to start lol. So i've just treated myself to this... I'd never heard of the "Mozart Effect" until last year, so i've been trying to listen to more classical music to help me focus while studying. Today I listened to Classic FM… Continue reading The Mozart Effect
