In my last post I wrote about routine, how it helps me to be focused and at the same time be more free. In this post I am looking at making a significant change in how I live. I have agreed to move in with my friends and share their home. Simple enough you wouldContinue reading “Change”

I run my life to routine. It hasn’t always been this way. I would have prided myself in not having a routine, being spontaneous I would have called it in all likelihood, going with the flow. As a former hippy, flower power generation (that dates me) that was what it was all about wasn’t it?Continue reading “Routines”

I have become aware how often one becomes aware of another layer peeling off the onion. There have been so many changes, layers peeled on the journey of transition. Each time a layer is peeled you feel real progress has been made. I have been out full time for almost four years now. At firstContinue reading “Layers”

Well, I am back from the first proper break in a long time. Back to the grindstone of chasing people who do not do what is needed to make my work move forward. It was lovely being away surrounded by stunning dramatic countryside, lots of water, lochs, mountains and very few people. Wild life too,Continue reading “A Way forward”

We are all taught that we have to achieve, that we fail if we are not successful. I am in my seventh decade (shh, don’t tell anyone) and I am only just learning that really isn’t the case.

I have been reading a book that was recommended to me this week, The Midnight Library by  Matt Haig. Its central theme is one of looking at various possibilities of a life you might have had if you had made different choices based on the only book in the library which you have written, the BookContinue reading “Regrets”

What can anyone say with what is going on in Europe. It totally beggars belief that one man can cause such a humanitarian disaster and such trauma to so many people on his belief that the clock should be turned back to recreate a Soviet bloc, to create a legacy. Basically a one man missionContinue reading “Watch this space”

Since my last post it feels as if everything has changed. What I thought was sabre rattling by President Putin has turned into an invasion of a peaceful democratic country. Sorry not an invasion, it is a special operation. What is really worrying about the current events, apart from the obvious crisis of a physicalContinue reading “A Special Operation”

I have been reflecting on what that means to have a moral compass, in relation to our leaders who seem to have no sense of what that means, but more so about myself. I have always though I had a good sense of morality and a reasonable moral compass yet with reflection, and the benefitContinue reading “Moral compass”
